About This Architecture

Zoo Database ER Diagram models a comprehensive animal management system with entities for ANIMAL, ESPECIE, RECINTO, and COMPATIBILIDADE, capturing species hierarchies and enclosure relationships. Animals belong to species, species define compatibility rules, and recintos (enclosures) are specialized into individual, specific-species, shared, and special types with optional parent-child hierarchies. This schema demonstrates normalization best practices for managing complex many-to-many relationships, such as species compatibility constraints and flexible enclosure allocation. Fork this diagram on Diagrams.so to customize entity attributes, add additional constraints, or extend it for veterinary records and feeding schedules. The recursive recinto_pai foreign key enables hierarchical enclosure structures, supporting zoo layouts from habitat zones down to individual animal pens.

How do you design a database schema for a zoo management system that handles animals, species, enclosures, and compatibility rules?

This ER diagram models a zoo database with ANIMAL, ESPECIE, RECINTO, and COMPATIBILIDADE entities. Animals belong to species, species have compatibility constraints, and recintos are specialized into individual, specific-species, shared, and special types with optional hierarchies. The schema uses foreign keys and composite primary keys to enforce referential integrity and support complex enclosur
