ABSTRACT:
A tank provides multiple environments in upper and lower regions of the tank. A land plate divides the tank into the upper and lower regions and provides a terrestrial environment in which terrestrial and amphibious animals can live. A ramp extends from the land plate into the lower region, which is filled with water to a minimum water level of at least the bottom edge of the ramp. When filled with water to the minimum water level, the lower region provides an aquatic environment in which aquatic and amphibious animals can live. The ramp allows travel between the terrestrial environment and the aquatic environment. An opening in an end of the tank beneath the land plate allows for easy access to and maintenance of the aquatic environment. An island can also be placed beneath the land plate, and opaque material can be placed on the walls of the tank in the lower region to provide a subterranean environment.
