Initial capital costs are large due to specialized civil works, transport/capture logistics and heavy equipment; ongoing annual operation is driven by staff wages (animal care, security, veterinary) and consumables (food, waste management, utilities), resulting in multimillion-dollar recurring costs.

Confidence Notes
Containment and care items are well-described allowing middling confidence in engineering and staffing estimates, but many line items (capture/transport, frequency of incidents, amnestic/cover costs) have wide ranges and anomalous behavior introduces uncertainty.
