Well having had a few days off work (not enough!) I have been building. I wanted to show some really nice, natural looking pics, like the amazing pics of TaraM. But I know Tara said she didn't feed the animals, or give them any enrichment objects (such a mean girl! :lolol: ) so I though I would compromise. This zoo will never be opened, and does not have exhibits as such, just separation between hunter and prey. But I am feeding and 'entertaining' the animals, and some pics will show food and toys. But mostly I am trying to show animals in a natural environment.

Anyway, here are some pics.

Natural place.

Such a pretty sky...:

Except one....

'Euww, gross!!' There's a bug on my chest!

Rosinas Cat · « **Reply #1003 on:** December 27, 2006, 04:57:17 AM »

'Its gone! Woo hoo!'

As I said, the animals are fed and watered! Congrats to Penguika on the Grey-Winged Trumpeter!

Everyone's getting along well, All Creatures Great and Small!

This is the last for now, and my favourite pic. Okapi At Dusk

As I going into this zoo, I am adding and moving foliage. So don't be surprised if you see more and more trees, plants and rocks as I post more pics!

: You're right, it does look very natural.

these rainforest animals look as if they are living in the wild!! i dont see anything manmade! its sooo awesome! u shloud think about doing a wildlife reserve and hide the zoo walls!!

:flipper:

Thanks guys!

Seaworldgurl, thats the effect I was going for! :

: As I've said, I put food and enrichment around and in some pics you can see them, but I really like the okapi pic because theres none of that! As for a wildlife reserve, there are some pics a few pages ago where I did just that - although it was only because I had to. My pc needed more RAM badly, and opening a zoo and having guests meant it took anything up to 30 minutes to save a zoo!:angry: Now I am all 'rammed up' I am doing both - a tropical reserve, and a regular zoo.

More pics this weekend, hopefully!:

As everyone has already stated, the part looks awesome and so very natural! I always enjoy your pics, you know but I think you have outdone yourself!

And I'm so happy the bug is gone. Whew! That's one happy gibbon!

Thanks everyone! :

Well, how's this for embarrassing?! :blushing: I was just looking through my old zoos (I have 'quite a few' :laughing: ), and I found one I'd forgotten about! Its built on a temperate map, with African-only animals. It looks ok, so I think I will work on it a bit, show you guys some pics. And maybe submit it for download? I don't know about the last bit yet....

Rosinas Cat · « **Reply #1013 on:** January 21, 2007, 03:31:20 AM »

....and two weeks later, here are some pics!! :laughing:

As I said I have only African animals in this zoo. But because of the diversity of the continent, I still have a nicely varied zoo. Obviously I have savannah and trf animals to show you, but first, someone from a cooler climate....

Canine pair

Rosinas Cat · « **Reply #1014 on:** January 21, 2007, 03:32:49 AM »

The female seems quite shy...

Rosinas Cat · « **Reply #1015 on:** January 21, 2007, 03:34:12 AM »

But the male is a proper poser! He seems to like having his photo taken!

Rosinas Cat · « **Reply #1016 on:** January 21, 2007, 03:35:17 AM »

But he soon gets bored...:laughing:

Rosinas Cat · « **Reply #1017 on:** January 21, 2007, 03:36:54 AM »

...and wonders where his mate is going. 'I'll follow her...'

Rosinas Cat · « **Reply #1018 on:** January 21, 2007, 03:38:04 AM »

I just thought the female looked so cute in this one!

Rosinas Cat · « **Reply #1019 on:** January 21, 2007, 03:39:22 AM »

The male likes to play with his food!

Rosinas Cat · « **Reply #1020 on:** January 21, 2007, 03:41:00 AM »

But I suppose he got bored of it eventually! :laughing:

Next door to the wolves I have some geladas. I will try to show some pics of them next. And hopefully it will be sooner than two weeks this time! lol

Nique · « **Reply #1021 on:** January 21, 2007, 05:06:34 AM »

Those pictures are adorable!

I can't wait to see the rest of the zoo! and if we have to wait 2 weeks, we will - but we hope not! lol

zoohio · « **Reply #1022 on:** January 21, 2007, 06:25:51 AM »

Good job, but don't keep us waiting!

In the background of the photo labeled 'canine pair', what is that building with the green roof?

Rosinas Cat · « **Reply #1023 on:** January 21, 2007, 08:43:55 AM »

Thanks Nique and zoohio!:

:

Well Earl, the restaurant is Nique's amazing Casablanca Restaurant! Sorry for not crediting you there, Nique! :blushing:

Rosinas Cat · « **Reply #1024 on:** January 23, 2007, 12:15:59 PM »

OK, geladas (by the way, question, please? Geladas -pronounced with a 'hard' g or 'soft'? :wacko: )

This one always seems fed up for some reason - Senor Grumpy
