i like this idea A LOT
-
zoohio?.... how can I help?
-
Elefriend. First read the instructions. If you can help rebuild this zoo. Let me know what animal you choose.
This area of the country is known for their beautiful gardens, ornate stone walls and cast iron.

In the center of the entrance is the Fountain of Hope. Many wishes are placed here by the guest.

The first guests have arrived. They are extremely happy to have their zoo back after all they have been through.

This is the first exhibit.
The Giraffe is for Vision. They can see farther because of their height. The people learn to look into the future with a positive attitude.

This is such an awesome idea Zoohio. Let's pitch in and rebuild. I would like to contribute too! Please sign me up for the elephant.
-
Ok Jeff. I have sent the zoo your way.
Rosina's Cat is having pc issues and will get back to me in the morning.
-
Zoohio, aren't I getting the elephant? :blink
-
The people of Cleveland, Ohio donated to the Delta Zoo an elephant fountain placed near the elephant exhibit

uhh is anyone hearing me? :blink :blink
-
The elephant was chosen to be added to the Delta Zoo as a symbol of strength for rebuilding the once strong and beautiful zoo.
After rebuilding efforts and adding the elephant exhibit donations were up to: donations-$8,037 admissions/sales $1,352. The month now is April of year one.
And we have one giraffe on the way!

Elefriend, you have a pm. I need your request here for the animal that you have chosen to exhibit.
Great job Blue Heron! And a baby giraffe already on the way :w00t
And look at the money!
At the beginning of this topic, I am keeping a tally of donations and funds.
-
May I add a hippo/flamingo mix please?
Btw I reguested for asian elephants on this thing earlier, no ofence
-
Elefriend, I am sorry, but I do not see the Asian Elephant posting. They are still available. Please pm me your email address.
-
Earl, I'd like to help too please. If possible, I'd like to build a lion exhibit. The lion represents the strength, beauty & courage of the Delta region.
-
BluekittySC, the map has been sent to you.
-

You just made a huge contribution OryxLuver. The thoughts count too. Thanks.
-
Hi I'd like to do an exhibit, the Rhino, symbolizing strength and determination. :)
Great idea, by the way. :w00t
-
Great Idea Zoohio, it is a shame I don't have ZT2 otherwise I would certainly help out.
Keep it going and I love all the pics :wub
-
A beaver, symbolising that it will be possible to rebuild with determination and courage.
-
Can i do Bengals please?
-
Ok, I have Tyto Alba doing Rhino; Rednotdead will do the Bengal Tiger.
Takins, the American Beaver has been requested. The list is at the top of the forum.
Someone has approach me with a cash offer since they are unable to work on an exhibit. I cannot say who at the moment without permission from this person.
This is my personal offer as well: For every exhibit placed in the Delta Zoo Quilt, I will match it with $1, the contribution to help the Humane Society, Zoological Society or another organization in need when this map has been completed.
I am working these plans out and will contact a moderator to help me figure out how to make this happen.
-
This zoo looks bueatiful. :happy Quilt zoos are always very hard-worked on. I can't contribute (I am not the person zoohio just mentioned though) but this looks really promising. :D
-
The zoo looks as tigeress_10 said beautilful. I'd like to help out! Coudl I do Penguins Zoohio?
-
Penguins are now on the list for pepe-starr!
-
Hello all.
As Zoohio mentioned early, someone who was unable to make an exhibit was willing to make an actual cash donation to either the red cross, humane society or AZA in the amount equaling the # of exhibits.
Well, that someone is me and I appreciate Zoohio's discretion in the matter...I'm just not very good with words so I wanted him to do it. *grins*
So yes... this is my offer and plea: Even though I am a poor college student (and trust me, I am) I can't forget the help my state got last year after our hurricanes hit...and we weren't hit half as hard the Lousiana.
I really thought Zoohio's idea for the Katrina quilt was awesome, but I really don't have time to create an exhibit...and I wanted to do more, but couldn't figure out what.
So... this is what I came up with:
For every animal *species* (as in, tiger, lion, etc. NOT number if individuals, cause that'd be crazy) that is signed up for at the end of the quilt zoo, I will donate $1 to the HUmane Society. I chose the Humane Society, because most people are donating to the Red Cross and I think the animals tend to get forgotten in situations like this. Also, all of the zoo's in the area are doing fairly well so I don't think the AZA needs it as much as the Humane Society might.
I made the decision to do it for every animal species because the #of maximum species in ZT2 is still a number I can handle, but I think is a good, "hearty" contribution.
So please, put in at least one. If everyone helps out and between Zoohio's own contribution, I think we can make a real difference.
If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.
~Honor
-
The humane society is an excellent charity to contribute to. I am making a donation to the HSUS because I feel the same way you do, Honor. That the animals tend to be forgotten. :(
This is a nice topic and it is nice for everyone to band together like this. :D
-
Couldn't agree more. :D Wish I could join. Oh well.
Zoo's still loking really nice!
-
I would like to do bengal tiger/black leopard please!
-
Panda11, the Bengal Tiger has been requested. You may do the Black Leopard or there may be enough room to combine them in the same exhibit.
-
yeah i can make the bengal tiger a bit bigger to leave enough space for the black lepoard if wanted? (well the exhibit i meant not the tiger itself :lol)

Oh my gosh!! Don't we have some great people here?!?! Times like this bring out the true goodness in truly good people. (My grandma used to say that)
Whoever has made the offer Earl has mentioned, you should be very proud of yourself.

*giggles* go up about 5 posts.

:blush :blush Sorry, Honor. You star!! :angel
-
no problems Rosina.
Come on guys, we need more animals/exhibits here! Everything counts. :)
Zoohio, can you put a list on here showing how many exhibits/animals have been signed up for so far?
-

This list is on the first page of this topic with the current zoo stats as of last night.
bluekittySC has the map at the moment, then it will go to Rosina's Cat. Elefriend will be skipped as he is out of town for the weekend, so Tyto is next after Rosina's Cat.
Elefriend will let me know when he is back.

Thanks Zoohio. So, as of now, that's 10 total animals and 9 exhibits. Which means, so far, that's $10 from me and $9 from zoohio....
does that sound right to you Z?
(mind if I call you Z? *grins* cause I'm a lazy typer)
-
May I do Red Pandas, Zoohio? :erm
-
Boblus, you may do the Red Panda.
Update:
Rosina's Cat is unable to do the American Beaver as there are some issues with her pc and she will be leaving on a long, overdue holiday.
Takins also requested the American Beaver and has been contacted regarding taking on the exhibit.
The zoo is currently with BluekittySC and will be passed on afterwards. I believe Tyto Alba will be next on the list.
Thanks everyone and be patient. Your chance will come to work on this project.
-
I am going to follow Zoohio's and Honor's lead and pledge some money to go toward the relief efforts. For every exhibit in the
Hurricane Relief Quilt Zoo I will donate $2.00 to my charity. The company that I work for will match my donations as well. So come on everybody pitch in and make some small exhibits so we can squeeze in a lot and get some more money. I also encourge people to give a little money to their relief effort of choice. The Human Society (http://www.hsus.org/index.html) is my charity of choice.
Another one is LA/SPCA (http://www.la-spca.org/)
-
I can do another exhibit if needed!
-
Great job everyone. Reading this topic has been like a rush of fresh air. Reading a few of these topics lately has been ... well, depressing, but it is this type of outpouring from the members of ZA that have always make me consider ZA one huge family. I've already contributed a few times but I will happily match the others and hope there is never a need for anything such as this again.
If possible I would like to add the lemurs to this zoo, but only as soon as my new computer arrives (this week :) ) as I do not wish to delay the quilt in any way. I chose the lemurs because they are the smallest animals in ZT and in this zoo they will represent the children that at this time should be looking forward (or dreading. :whistle ) school instead of wondering where their loved ones are or which direction their life continues from here. :sad
Great job Zoohio and to all others. :cool
Everyone please :help Unfortunately at times we all need help but thankfully there are so many willing to give it.
-
I think this idea is nice.
:cool
-
Once I reinstall ZT2 sucsessfully, can I do a polar bear, for strength and courage.
-
I like this Idea
-
small update:
just in case any of you would like to know (and since it's your zoo you're designing) the American Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is the charity I'm donating to, when our final numbers are in. The exhibits don't have to be finished, I just need to know the maximum # of animal's in the zoo. I'd like to donate as soon as possible.
Anyway, for your information, the HSUS main website can be found here:
HSUS (http://www.hsus.org)
and the page where you can donate for Katrina (hint hint) can be found here:
Katrina Relief Donations (https://secure.hsus.org/01/disaster_relief_fund_2005?source=drfhbo)
When all is said and done I'll send a link or post a picture of whatever confirmation page/email they send me for you all to see, as a symbol of everyone's hard work.
-
Spiderghost you may do the Lemurs and I am sure that it will not be soon as the map is somewhere. I think bluekittySC still has it.
Snowstalker I have marked you for the Polar Bear.
Thanks!
-
Umm...how do we access this zoo? Because I can't find it. :erm
-
when it's your turn to add your exhibit, the zoo will be emailed to you as a zipped attachment from the person who had it before you. When you're done creating your exhibit, you'll save it and email the zoo to the next person on the list.
-
BTW, about HSUS:
http://www.animalscam.com/organizations.cfm (http://www.animalscam.com/organizations.cfm)
Look at the list, and click HSUS. Soory if I'm off topic.

Yes, but right now they're helping the animals without homes and food, and all the injured and sick animals from Katrina... you can make a donation that specifically helps the Katrina Rescue efforts, and it is being well documents that HSUS is actually helping the animal Katrina victims. So regardless of how I (or others) may personally feel about HSUS that's why I'm donating to them for this.
(and btw, this site isn't exactly objective themselves, I'm noticing themes in what they choose to say about organizations and what organizations are chosen to be "documented". Regardless of my own feelings on any of those organizations,I don't like the fact that this site obviously has their own agenda. A better place to do research on charity organizations is here (http://www.charitynavigator.org) (Charitynavigator.org). )
-
Yes, HSUS looks cute and fuzzy on the outside, but the site I posted is behind the scenes.

this is the last time I'm going to respond to this as it is getting OT.
I am not donating money because I necessarily like or approve of HSUS. My own personal feelings have no regard on the matter. If you read my previous post, you would see that I am donating SOLELY because they are the main organization that is helping out the animals which are suffering from hurricane Katrina. I also stated that I am donating to a specific fundraising effort, in which all proceeds go to the hurricane efforts and NOT the HSUS directly. This is about the animals who are suffering from the hurricane, NOT the HSUS.... they are simply the means to an end right now.
The website you mentioned, whether they are "behind the scenes" or not have their own agenda as they seem to oppose any groups aimed at animal "rights" and not animal "welfare". Again, my personal feelings aside...the site you posted is not completely objective and therefore they are bound to put information in a light befitting their subjective feelings.
But again, that is NOT the point. The point is, the HSUS is spear heading the effort to help the animals from hurricane Katrina, therefore, I am donating for THAT cause and that cause only.
-
Way off topic, and please remember; we are trying to stay positive on this topic.
Keep it fun and have fun!
-
Update:
bluekittySC is working on the map and will get it out as soon as possible. I understand she is not feeling well, so please be patient.
-
13 animals and 12 exhibits. yay! But there's more space (right Zoohio?) anyone else want to sign up?? :lol
-
I would really love to make the Girrafe exibit but i have no idea how to send or recevie the Zoo .?.?.
-
wow this sounds great! I can't wait to see the outcome
-
Fox, the giraffe has been done already. You may pick another animal.
-
Donation Update..
Ok all, I just wanted to let you know that as of now, including Fox's pending animal, the zoo will have 14 animals and 13 exhibits. It seems to be dwindling down, and the sooner the charities(all of them) get the money, the sooner they can help out animals and people. Therefore, as of now I will donate $15 (14 animals + 1 for the animal I would do if I could...or because I'm weird and like even numbers) to the HSUS and will post a copy of my confimation letter/webpage/email here.
BUT that doesn't mean you can't help!! For any animal that is added onto this quilt I will still donate 1$ (I wish I could do more, but I can't) to the HSUS (Humane Society of United States) solely towards the animal rescue efforts needed from Hurricane Katrina.
14 animals are pledged already, there's still 18 more left to be done! and $18 more potential dollars!
Also keep in mind that for every exhibit in the zoo Zoohio is donating $1 and Blue Heron is donating $2...AND Blue Heron's company will match his donations. So every exhibit counts.
Thanks again guys :)
-
whoo double post! :P
But I think you all will agree this doesn't exactly fit in as an edit to my last.
Here's the copy and paste (minus some personal details, like my CC number!) from the email:
Dear so&so,
Thank you so much for your donation to the Disaster Relief
Fund of The Humane Society of the United States. Thanks to
you, our disaster teams and rescue vehicles will be in the
hardest hit areas affected by Hurricane Katrina. We'll be
working nonstop to rescue animals and assist their
caregivers. Your receipt information appears below.
We're grateful for your support of this Fund, which helps
animals when they need it the most.
Sincerely,
Wayne Pacelle,
President & CEO
The Humane Society of the United States
Payment Information:
================================
Transaction ID: 13334181
Date: September 6, 2005
Time: 8:17pm (ET)
Payment Amount: $15.00
Campaign: Disaster Relief Fund - 2005
-
Whoo hoo!
-
Update:
I sent the Relief Quilt map to Tyto and we will get back to bluekitty when we can. Rednotdead is next ont he list after Tyto. While the zoo is across the big pond in the UK, it will go to pepe_starr. Then it comes back to elefriend here in the states.
Thanks again for being patient.
And a special Thanks to Honor for her Donation that was sent already!
-
OK, yes, it just came in, I'll get to work fairly soon, and woohoo Honor! :w00t
-
I too would like to contribute. Could I do the giant panda please?
-
I too would like to work on the zoo...could I do the Giant Panda please?
Oye, sorry for that, I pressed the button too many times I think.
-
If there is still room I would like to work on the zoo, and add peafowl to it.
The only thing is I may have to work late a lot this week and if that's the case it might take me a couple of days once I get the zoo. I hope this is OK.
EDIT: If peafowl are already chosen, let me know, and I'll pick something else.
-
I have updated the list at the top and have added both Bengal and Peacenote1.
Thanks, and I am sure will see something from Tyto Alba shortly.
Also, to update Honors mention of Blue Heron and my donations; my share will be given to Blue Heron (my best friend). This way his company will match the total of both ours together!
-
I think there will be room for everyone that wants to take part. So, don't let that be a concern. If nothing else I will have Zoohio start a new map. I want everyone to participate that wants to. I want for the company that I work for to pay. So, the more people participate the better for fun and better for money. Thanks to all those are taking part.
-
Zoohio, I have Winrar not Winzip. Will this effect anything because I don't want to ruin this for you. :erm
-
I am not familiar with this Boblus. I will have to find out for you.
-
boblus----Winrar only opens file with the .rar extension if I'm not mistaken. Winzip opens files with the .zip extension. I don't believe winrar will open and retrieve winzip files. You could try. Make a back up copy first, then try it. If I'm wrong about this, please let me know. :)
-
I'm looking forward to getting the quilt! Hopefully all the exhibits will make loads of donations :happy
-
But usually when I get things and try it then all similar files turn into a Winrar file. I don't want to risk losing it. :8
-
OK sorry... if its ok i think ill do the Dromedary camel ..but someone will have to tell me how im not tooo great with computer stuff :happy
-

what email service would you be using to send it? some services, like aol automatically zip files that are sent....
also, WindowsXP comes with it's own program that zips files as well, if I'm not mistaken.
If it's ok with zoohio, you could do as BluekittySC said and make a backup copy of the zoo (either by saving it as normal, and then resaving as a slightlydifferent name (example: quiltzoo vs quiltzoo2) or by finding the actual file on your computer, right clicking on it, click copy, then paste in the same folder and rename it something different). Then send the backup copy to me using Winrar...I have both winrar and winzip and can rezip it, then I can send it to whomever was after you.
-
That sounds like a good idea!
-
Well here I go! Here's the overview of the rhino exhbit!
-
Happy guests watching the rhinos
-
and here's a view from atop the falls...
Donations = 14,714
50% of Admissions Sales = 2,134
Total = 16,848
OK, who gets it next, RND or is bluekittySC feeling better?

i open all my winzip files with winrar but i dont think that winzip can open winrar files (but again not certain i will have to check it out and edit this if i find they can)
ok checked it out and no you cant open winrar with winzip but can open winzip with winrar.
-
Excellent job Tyto! The waterfall is nice and the photo of the Rhino is perfect.
And look at the donations! :w00t
I have edited the Contributions on the first page of the topic.
Rednotdead is next on the list for the map!
A few have ask if there could be a map for ZT1 for Hurricane Relief! I think it is a great idea, though I am unable to handle that as well.
-
Great exhibits Tyto. Great job.
-
Thanks!
I guess that means, RND you have a pm, (or you will in a sec :lol )
-
An update: The Map should be heading to Rednotdead and then to Pepe_starr.
The donation boxes are doing very well and soon, the map will generate enough funds to help others in the future.
Great job everyone!
-
I feel as though I shouldn't do it. Is that ok?
:erm
-
No problem Boblus!
I completely understand.
The Red Panda is available again folks.
-
what zip. program does Windows XP come with? Someone had mentioned about this earlier.

I'mnot sure what the program name itself is, it's just integrated into XP. I don't use it myself because i have winzip, but you should be able to zip any file by:
right-click on file
choose Send To
Choose Compressed (zip) folder
and it should go from there.
and it does zip it into an actual .zip file so it's compatible with winzip
-
Someone please correct me if I am wrong:
XP uses winzip or pkzip. It depends on the the pc and manufacturer. Again, please correct me if I am wrong!

I think some PC's might come with Winzip, but what windows uses is integrated into it's system, not a seperate program. When I got my new computer, it had XP and didn't have winzip or pkzip on it, but I could still unzip and zip files using the method I described above. I had to put my old version of winzip on the new computer myself, manually.
So as far as I know, XP doesn't actually use those programs, but rather utilizes the same technology integrated.
EDIT: This might make it a bit more clear...for example, I techincally have two zipping programys, Winzip and the XP integrated "zipper"...make sense?
-
pinned the topic now at top of forum makes it easier for people to find it can be unpinned when finished.
-
This is really cool :D . And very kind :happy
-
Oh ghee, I haven't finished reading this thread, but am I correct that the Red Panda is available????
I volunteer!!!! :D
I love the quilts
-
Thanks Sypke! The Red Panda will be yours!
-
I would like to do th eCamel please.
-
Awesome! I figured it out, the whole xp zip thing anyways. Is there anyway a list can be put up saying which animals have been used so far? I read the whole thing, but i have the memmory of a goldfish. :D
-
on the first page about half way down is a list of who is doing what.
-
Fox has the Camel.
This map is filling quickly and I am certainly delighted with all the support from the ZA community.
Thanks everyone.
-
I wanna do one :D Can I do Asian Elephants????? BTW does the map get emailed to you?
-
Amber1983, you have been added to the list. And yes, the map is emailed to you.
-
ok zoo sent to pepe cant post pics of my part at the moment cos one of my hard drives crashed and naturally its the one with all my word/photo/picture editing programs on (but luckily not the one with the games on) - now i just have to go and reload all the stuff onto the 3rd hard drive .
-
Your comp sounds almost as hectic as mine. :P
Glad you didn't lose your games though!
-
Great news everyone! I've finished my exhibit. I will pass it on to Panda11 as soon as he gives me his email address :happy So I had two penguins Pauline and Petra. Penguins are very special creatures. They show freedom and team spirit. Hope this exhbit is OK and I have contributed well to the Quilt Zoo. So the exhibit is really next to the pavillion but is not to close to damage the pavillions look. So here's the first photo people watching from the Pavillion as Paul runs past in the Enclosure :D
Pavillion and Paul (http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/7638/pavillion0ad.jpg)

Here's Pauline with Paul showing a few of the right hand side of the exhibit

Here is my final shot of the penguins. The pond is in it this time :happy The next person or few people will find that Pauline has laid an egg so soon we will be seeing a little baby :D Hope the zoo goes well :happy
Paul (http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/2549/paul4fy.jpg)

Awesome job pepe!
And the second photo showing the Gazebo from inside the exhibit truly made me smile! Thank you.
I have updated the totals at the beginning of the topic.

Thanks hope the zoo goes well for everyone :happy

I was going to say the same, but they beat me to it :lol
Also, I love the rocky/windowed fencing, I love how it promotes the tundra theme of the exhbit, I'm such a sucker for aesthetics! :D
-
Beautiful job by you all, this will be great if they did something similar to this in real life.
Minus the computer work, though!
-
Great job pepe!! :w00t
-
Thanks, there might be quite a wait as Panda11 has not yet emailed me his email address but I hope he sends me it soon :happy
-
How are things going?
I like Pauline and Paul's exhibit Pepe! Nice work! :)
-
Panda11 has asked to work on this last, so the map is going to Spiderghost
-
I have sent it to Spiderghost so I assume he's working on it :happy
-
An update:
The map is with Spiderghost and will work on it as soon as he gets the chance. With the pending Hurricane Rita, this Zoo Quilt may be needed in the days to come. Thanks everyone and please be patient.
-
It sounds really cool so far.
-
I can do the Jaguar exhibit
-
Thanks bobo, you have been added to the list!
-
Zoohio do you plan to release it for download? :w00t
-
What a wonderful idea this is!! :) I wish I could help but my computer won't play Zoo2 so all I can do is read the posts about how it's coming along. I have supported the Humane Society for about 15 years. It is one of the best for helping so many homeless and abused animals.
Maybe if you do this again I will have a decent computer and I will be able to help too. In the meantime I'll just keep reading your posts and be kind of a silent cheering section-Thanks for making my heart happy!
-
if this is going to go on till the E.P can i please do the wolf? wolves are soposadly signs of bravery learder ship and cunning ness
-
Yes, I plan to have this submitted for download
-
Is it ok if I get the exhibit done by the weekend? I just have a hectic week.
-
Great! I will definetly download it :happy :w00t
-
I can't find my CD so maybe someone else should do the Jaguar exhibit.
-
Any news on Spiderghosts part? :whistle
-
Hello all, I used to be a member, but changed email, and comps (getting a new comp this fall though ._.), haven't been here in about a year, but its good to be back, and would liek to help out in the quilt zoo. How bout them Nile crocies ^^
-
What's happened with the Zoo? :happy
-
I have been contacting folks up and down the list with no answer :sad
-
Just an update:
The map has started moving again and has been forwarded to Peacenote1 :D She will start on it this weekend! With Hurricane Wilma churning her way to southern Florida, this may be needed more than ever.
-
Think we* should start another maybe? Hurricane Relief Quilt2? Or does this one still have plenty of room?
*we: meaning the ZA community in general.
-
I'm ready.
-
If there's still room, I can do the American Beaver!
-
Well I was able to start on the zoo a bit early and finished my exhibit. I chose the Common Peafowl because I think that in times of trouble it's good to remember that even the smallest and lowliest of us can make a difference. It is easy to think "I'm only one person" and I thought the peafowl, as one of the first animals available in the game, with low attraction and price, was the perfect reminder of how EVERYONE can make a difference. Even in the time I've had the zoo the peafowl have gotten over $2,000 in donations! :happy
While I had the zoo, it hit the one year mark, and we received a commemorative seal for that. We also had our first rhino baby born. There was one tragic event though. Paul and Pauline's baby got stuck climbing out of the deep water. I received no messages saying he was hungry or thirsty, but noticed his needs all in red as I was looking through the list of animals. I picked him up and set him on the ground, and immediately it said he was "dying of illness." I hopped into zookeeper mode and healed him, but even though the vet bag closed up it wasn't enough and he didn't make it. :( The good news is Pauline is expecting again.
Also I crated the female African elephant because she wandered around the WHOLE time I had the zoo, saying she was going to give birth, but never did, and in the meantime kept neglecting her needs. I also added an ATM because guests kept complaining that they didn't have one.
Here are some pics:

Hope that wasn't too many pics. :huh Anyway, who is next?
-
Excellent exhibit and your photos are awesome! :w00t
Please update the donation amounts and post them here. I will update the list.
Half the proceeds from the admissions and all the donation proceeds.
The next person is Sypke! Please send her a pm for her.
Thanks
-
I tried to open the zoo a couple of times to get the donation amounts but it keeps crashing my game now. I don't know if it has to do with the fact that I installed the Expansion Pack. I did zip it up the day I finished it, when everything was working, so I don't know if you maybe want to see if you can open it? I did send a PM to Spyke but haven't heard anything yet.
-
I'm a bird guy, so I would like to be signed up for the ostrich, please. :D If not this, I would like to do the fennec fox or the komodo dragon, please.
-
Ok, relax, I'm still here!!
Just having some small problems at home, so that's why I haven't been on much lately. :><
Try send me a copy of the game that keeps crashing. Ill try to open it
No special DL were needed, right?????
-
No, this is just a basic zoo, no downloads
-
Hahaha this is going to be fun!!!!!
I opened the zoo, and sofar no problems here.
BUT.... while I was looking after the Elephant who wanted to have a little privacy and maybe will be happy when she'll have her elephant house. all at a sudden our guest started screaming like crazy....
I looked what was happening... and guess what?? the Rhino's exhibit has a whole wall disapeared... in other words.. guest running around in the exhibit and Rhino 1 starting to charge after them. I could crate him/her just in time
-
Love those pictures Peacenote :happy
-
Sorry I didn't help out with this sooner :blush my e-mail went crazy. I just got a new one. :whistle
Anyway, I read Honor's post about donations properly (I was pretty tired before and failed understanding the point) I was absolutely amazed. Not that Honor would do something like that, I know she would, but that....I have no idea, but I was amazed.
May I do Grizzly Bears? I will PM my e-mail when it is needed. :D A huge congratulations to ZA for having such wonderful members....and I hope my contribution will be a good one. :D
-
If anyone has the Expansion, they will be bumped past all the folks who do not. The zoo will not work otherwise
Tigeress, you will have Grizzly Bear
-
if i can,may i do the gray wolf? if not can i do the musk ox?(if it has not already ben done)

That's why all the people who don't have the expansion are going to work on the zoo first. ;)
-
Do you mean last? Becuase wouldn't the file corupt if they had it first...:crazy
-
it works the same way as for zt1 people with the earliest version of the game will have to go first as otherwise the game corrupts - so thoses with the ES will have to wait till those without have done their bit the problem though would be if any user animals are used then thoses with the ES will have problems as not all user animals are compatible.
-
I think no user downloads are allowed on this one, so that shouldn't be a problem.
I'm also pretty sure no one with ES has worked on this yet. I have ES now, but I didn't when I worked on this.
-
Just greeeeat, now I have ES :rofl can I do Wild Horses instead or is it too late too change?
-
Ok, I'm done with playing... can go on forever, but I think its time the zoo goes to the next person.
Everything is going very smooth, guest are happy, we're a 3,5 star zoo and the only 'problem' we have is that the Bengal tigers are just too happy and are breeding like rabbits, but they have still plenty of space so I didn't put too many up for adoption.
Paul and Paulina had a new baby, who got stuck again... but this time we were warned and looking out for this little trick to appear again.. so I picked it out of the water, fed it, and now it's just a happy penguin. Number 5 is on the way too... just have to wait for the egg to hatch.
The giraffs are without a male, but since the 2 females had their girl-baby's I decided not to put a new male in just yet...
The Peafowls are giving a headache to the warden (and me...) because they keep on pooping like .. I have no idea who poops like this!
The Rhino's and Elephants are happy, but no babys comming yet.
My RedPanda's are doing just fine. The next warden will have to watch them a bit and see if they are not getting too crowded.
pictures in a minute

I'm just wondering if this quilt is still going on :(
-
Excellent job Sypke!
I have contacted Fox since this person is next on the list.
Inari, the map is still moving along.
-
If its not taken yet, can I do gazeeles ^^?
-
how do ALL of you biuld exhibits for the zoo? :erm
Cause if certain people get certain animals, I'd like to make either a kowala exhibit or a fennec exhibit. :blush :8

We e-mail the zoo to people, they build, and e-mail it back to somebody.
-
The quilt has been held up at the moment and I have been trying to locate it!
-
:8 I hope we can find it! Please all help loacate it
-
I know where it is, just waiting on getting it sent back to me. So please be patient guys
-
Alrighty then folks. The zoo has been sent back to me and I will contact the next person to see if they can work on it. I have contacted Fox who wanted to do the Camel. Never heard from this person, so I will contact Amber1983 next.
I have updated the list with the members name and the corresponding animals.
Thanks everyone for being so patient with wonderful project.
-
I have tried contacting the next two persons on the list and have waited with no answer. I have now contacted bobosmokey and will give it a few days, and then I will be contacting the next person on the list.
-
Could I do the Bison which represents strength and safety in numbers?
-
If it's no problem...could I do a ring-tailed lemur exhibit?
-
You have been added to the list Trex and LemurGirl!
-
Alright, thanks! I appriciate it! I'm just glad the lemur hadn't been taken already! :lol
-
Just wondering, who has the zoo now?
-
The zoo in my possession and I have contacted Tigeress_10. The list has been updated as some are unable to work on their parts.
-
*waves* I have it and I will get to too the next person within the week (or I hope!)! Just need zoohio to answer a few minor questions in my e-mail to him and then I'll be set to work on it!! :D
-
Can't wait for it Tigeress! :happy
-
ok--I have the ZOO finished, but I don't have the pictures and can't take them, since ZT2 went crazy! :( Once I fix it, I'll post the pictures, but until then--do I need to e-mail the zoo to zoohio or Inari? Thanks!
(I still have the zoo saved in a .zip file on my desktop)
-
Can I do the asian elephants please, since Amber1983 doesn't seem to be doing them any more ?
-
I need to repeat my above quetsion, sorry to 'bump' but I need to know before Christmas then I can't send the zoo until afterwards--do I e-mail the zoo to Inari or zoohio?
-
Just zip the file and send it back to me Tigeress
-
Ok, I'll do that tonight.
-
Crookshankz227 I have added you to the list to work on the Asian Elephants.
Tigeress has sent the zoo to me and I will contact the next person on the list.
-
I'd like to contribute with Crested Gibbons, if I may. I've just joined and am terribly excited about the idea of a quilt-zoo!
I've got the ES-Expansion, so I'll be waiting until those without it are finished, yes?
-
I'd love to contribute with a Zebra exhibit :D
-
Thanks Artemis and HolidayRythm! Your names have been added to the list.
The map will be sent out after the New Year holiday.
-
Who is the zoo with now ?
-
The zoo map is on the move and has been sent to ky300. I believe this exhibit will be the Koala.
-
I just finished reading through the topic and I could do the makhors. I don't really know how much space will be left on the map, but if there is space that would be my choice. They represent... determination for living in the harsh climate. The people who visit the Delta Zoo can be inspired to break-through the tough times and hard living conditions.
If there isn't space left, I totally understant.
-
zoohio, do you have an overhead picture of it, so I could see what's not there? I'd like to participate, but not sure what until I know what IS there. :happy
-
On the first page there is a list of all animals and the people who have/are going to place them. ;)
-
Thanks Penguinman; you have been added to the list.
Csleesburg, I do not have a overhead shot of the map! I have removed all my zoo and unused games from my pc. When I get them re-installed, I will try to remember and get a shot of the Delta Zoo.
-
edit: I'm done now. :P
-
Tigress10 and ky300, can you send us some pictures of your work?
So we have something to watch at while we wait for the zoo to move on.. :)
-
So who is the zoo with now ?
-
I have the zoo and I am waiting for response from Trex
-
Well Trex is banned so is he still going to do it?
-
I realize I'm an idiot for doing this, with all my new responsiblities, :rolleyes but I'd like to volunteer for the fennec fox. He's small (like the children) and he's versatile (eats anything) and he lives in a harsh environment (desert) yet he survives, even without water. That be okay?
And a p.s. - personally, I don't think we ought to allow Trex to do his part because he's no longer a member.
-
So shall Zoohio send it on to Lemurgirl? I think if T-Rex is banned then he should
-
Correct the list and added csleesburg for the Fennec Fox.
I will contact LemurGirl and wait for her response.
-

what on earth made(uh, somebody) do that?!?!?
-
ky300, that is off-topic. If you want to know, PM an Admin.
-
I can do a cheetah! I just need to learn how to send the map though... The cheetah can stand for quickness in rebuilding the city. :)
-
So now lemurgirl has the zoo ? And can the people wo've finished please post pics ? Like someone said, it'll give us something to look at while we wait !
-
Yup! I have the zoo! And I'll be able to work on it tonight! After I'm done, I send it back to zoohio, right?
-
Yes, that is correct!
Remember to post your photos and to let everyone know the current info:
Half of the proceeds from the entrance fee, as well as all the proceeds from donation boxes will be donated for expansion or building zoos in other locations when the need rises.
Also, please maintain the zoo while you have it!
-
Okay!
Don't worry, I'll take care of everything (feed animals, clean up after them, keep guests happy)! You can count on me!
-
Update on the Delta Zoo.
1. Lemur exhibit done w/ 4 lemurs. Two males, Julien and Lance, and two females, Tiki and Torii.
2. Bengal Tiger 10 is pregnant.
3. Koala 4 is pregnant.
4. Common Peafowl 4 has died of old age. :(
5. Bengal Tiger 15 is pregnant.
6. Koala 2 is pregnant. (Looks like the Delta Zoo will have some new comers very soon! :P )
-
Are there any white tigers ? The names for the lemurs are so cute !
-
Crookshank has the map now. Please remember to post photos please
-
I've just finished making the exhibit, here's the overview map of the whole zoo first :
(http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/1063/ovmap6fm.th.jpg) (http://img15.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ovmap6fm.jpg)
-
Here's another pic, of the exhibit this time. Asian elephants are renowned for helping injured and ill members of their herds. They have also been known to adopt youngsters. The elephants first represent strength, for rebuilding the homes and property destroyed by Katrina. They also represent strong family ties, needed to help everyone get through this disaster.

Excellent. An overview of the zoo. Thanks!
And great job Crookshankz227
-
I will post a few more pics and then send you the zoo tomorrow zoohio, I can't do anymore now cause I have an exam to study for .
Edit : I'm sorry for not posting any pics, byt they've been unusually ruthless at school, and I have a LOT of homework, so I have'nt had the time to play ZT2, but I will try to post the pics and send it to zoohio by sunday.
-
Here's a pic of the lemurs :

Excellent job Crookshankz227!
Thanks!
I have the map, and have contacted Artemis.
-
I've finished with the Crested Gibbon! Here are your pictures, and I'll post finance info tomorrow and pass the zoo along then. ^^
First, I've set up a Reptile House (http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a362/cacunaizootycoon/DeltaZoo/reptilehouse.jpg) behind the small safari food court someone made. It really helps keep guests from getting bored over there. :) Near the House and filling up a small, blocky space where nothing else would really go, there's a lovely tree-and-flower display (http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a362/cacunaizootycoon/DeltaZoo/pinkyellowflowerstree.jpg). A small seating area with benches and some more flowers and a tree (http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a362/cacunaizootycoon/DeltaZoo/pinkflowerstree.jpg) rests behind the Gift Shop that someone set up. Two more benches (http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a362/cacunaizootycoon/DeltaZoo/benches.jpg) line the fence. The donation box (http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a362/cacunaizootycoon/DeltaZoo/happycustomer.jpg) is framed by flowers and a shady Myall. As you can see, the guests are pleased. Finally, the exhibit!
There are three "areas:" the monkey bars (http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a362/cacunaizootycoon/DeltaZoo/barsarea.jpg) and grove on the right, the main feeding area (http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a362/cacunaizootycoon/DeltaZoo/feeding.jpg) on the left, and the hills with a small pool (http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a362/cacunaizootycoon/DeltaZoo/hillspoolfromfence.jpg) in the center. Seen from the back (and top of a hill) (http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a362/cacunaizootycoon/DeltaZoo/fromtopofhill.jpg), the whole thing has a lovely effect.
Lots of things happened while I was building! First of all, I noticed a lot of messages about zookeepers not being able to reach various animals and objects, so I assigned one keeper to each exhibit and labeled them ("Keeper James - Lemur," for example). I renamed all animals with numbers in their names to "(Lemur) Lord/Lady," depending on their gender. Fear not, I didn't get rid of any of the names you had given them. Lord/Lady is a great way of keeping track of the gender ratio, and it eliminates those unattractive numbers.
Lots of deaths due to old age, unfortunately. They were as follows:
--- Pandino, Pandano, Pandina (had a baby first), Pandana, Unnamed Male = Red Pandas
--- Two unnamed male Peafowl
--- Unnamed female Bengal Tiger
--- Paul = Penguin
--- Unnamed female Giraffe
--- Unnamed male Rhino, unnamed female Rhino
I replaced the two Rhinos with new ones, but didn't replace any others as they didn't seem to need a boost to their population.
On a happier note, lots of births!
--- 9 Koalas
--- 3 Lemurs
--- 4 Red Pandas
--- 2 Wild Horses
--- 2 Penguins
--- 5 two-baby pairs, 1 three-baby set of Bengal Tigers
--- 1 Asian Elephants (female)
I altered the Lemur waterfall slightly because they kept falling in the water and complaining about not having enough space.
The Bengals needed more space after a while, so I released all males (including babies) to the wild and adopted a new male. All male babies born after that were kept.
Tom the Wild Stallion was fighting his comrade, Dan, so Tom was released to the Wild. He had no mate.
I moved all the endangered-birth balloons to a more consolidated position near the main gate, since I had no use for them. They were formerly all spread out, languishing where they had been placed whenever their owner was born. They take up less space now.
Formerly 3.5 stars, the zoo is now 4.5 stars!
-
Glad to hear your report Artemis and the zoo is doing well. Is Pauline the Penguin still alive? :w00t
-
Woohoo! A lot of new babies!
Thanks for the update as well. I am pleased to see there was a baby Giraffe born, since this was the first exhibit. I cannot wait to see the more done with this.
-
Yay, a baby elephant !!!!
The Bengals needed more space after a while, so I released all males (including babies) to the wild and adopted a new male. All male babies born after that were kept.
I know, there were 4 females each with 2 babies !!! I had released all adult males, but I had to expand the exhibit too.
-
Wow, Artemis, you did a fantastic job not only of keeping the zoo, but an excellent job of reporting! (Are you, by any chance, an accountant??) :lol I cannot wait to do the Fennecs!!
-
Yes! Crookshanks and Artemis both had incredible things to show! I'm afraid my exhibit may lower the qualitiy of the zoo... :bag. Oh well, can't wait! :)
-
Unfortunately, no, Pauline is gone. I must have missed her message in the flood of births and whatnot. :(
Zoohio: Oops, I think you read the list wrong. ;) There were no Giraffes born, but one female did die. They ended up being without a male altogether, so I adopted one and now both females are pregnant!
Csleesburg: An accountant? Goodness me, no, I'm just organized. :P
Okay, here we go: As of May, Year 3, the admissions proceeds are $10,420 and the donations are $256,225! The zoo is now 5 stars!
I went back in to check the finances and name my Gibbons. During the few minutes it took, we got two new Lemur babies, a Koala baby, and one unnamed female Red Panda died. I adopted the male Giraffe and the two female were soon pregnant.
Oh! I forgot to post what the gibbons represent! Their curious habit of holding up their arms for balance will help the hurricane victims in their quest for balance and stability in their new and confusing lives.
I'll zip the zoo and send it back to Zoohio in a couple of hours -- I've got to turn on my mom's laptop (the only computer with XP to zip things) and it's a whole fol-de-rol, so patiently we must wait. :)
Edit: And I've sent the zoo on its merry way, so good luck to everyone in building their exhibits. ^^ Be kind to my Gibbons, eh?
-
OK folks, I have updated the first page listing!
Admission $10,420
Donations $256,225
_____________
Total $266,645
This total may change as it is supposed to be half the admission and other sales total! Please watch for the update!!!!
We are now at Five Stars and there is room for more. I will contact the next person on the list and wait for the map to come back to me.
Excellent job Artemis with all the updates, and to everyone envolved! :approve
-
Can I do the American Bison?
-
It's perfect. :D
-
Not sure if I'm too late or not, but could I do a Grey Wolf and Wolverine exhibit? Symbolizing a fierce recovery?
Semper Fi,
-Gebo
-
So what's the status of the zoo now ? Can't wait to download it !!!! :wtg
-
So when is the zoo going to be up for download and i cant wait for more pictures :wtg
-
Yes, I'm due to get it, but have heard nothing. Where is it and what is its current status, zoohio?
-
Hey! I thought I was next! Are you trying to steal my spot! :tongue1 j/k, j/k!
Did HolidayRythm ever finish?
-

I didn't say I was due to get it NEXT, just that I was due to get it silly boy! :P
-
Are there lots of animals left then?
-
Is this project still on ? Not to rush anybody, but it's been more than two months since we last had pictures !!
-
Is it okay if I do something like this but altered in my topic?
-
So sorry folks, I had completely let this slip by. If that happens again, send me a personal message and remind. Zoohio has been very preoccupied with his house lately.
Holidayrythym was unable to open the map. So will connect with the next person on the list.
-
Oh great! That's Penguinman, so he'll do it quickly! Then ME! Yaay! :clap
-
:huh So it will be carrying on from now then? :huh :wtg

I finished! The zoo is so large that I had to keep it paused most of the time, so there aren't many updates to give, sorry! (Click the pictures to expand)
First, to reach the markhor exhibit the guests will have to hike up a small hill. This is representative of the trials that the people have gone through.

At the top is a nice guest viewing area including a small food court for the hungry guests.

The markhors have the names Mary, Maddie, Mark and Matt. They also represent the struggles of the people as well as their perserverence living in harsh conditions.

Here is the exhibit from the guest perspective. You can see how it slopes down from the viewing area to the normal ground height.

Finally, here is the overhead and I hope you like my exhibit!

:wtg Excellent job! And great photos!
I am afraid we are quickly running out of room here! I will contact the next person. I hope they can find some space for their animals.
-
Ya, I think there may be enough space on the right. It will just have to be a sort of long and skinny exhibit, sorry CS!
-
Well, zoohio, it's ME and I was just looking at the lack of space! Luckily for me, I picked the Fennecs, who are small and fit in a small space. They are also symbolic of those who have to just fit in where they can find. Send it along, I'm ready for 'em! :)
-
The map is moving and csleesburg should get it any moment.
I hope there is room, if not, the map will be submitted for download.

I am sad to report from csleesburg that the zoo is in financial trouble.
When she opened the map, there were several complaints that animals were needing water or dieing, but the zoo cash is -$500,000.
She did what she could by selling buildings and such, but the animals were aging and there is no money to replace them.
Sadly enough, even with all her attempts, she could not raise enough money to put the fennec fox on the map.
I will look at it briefly and see what can be done at the moment and then decide if this should be submitted for download.
Any advice would greatly be appreciated. If you look at the last map that penguinman sent in, you will be able to see the layout.
PLEASE HELP :sad
-
:sad You could try and sell all trees except for the ones in animal exhibits that need them. As long as they have some plants and the correct ground cover it doesn't really matter about trees. Raise entrance price and remaining buildings' prices as well. :wtg :wtg
-
What I don't understand is this: When I got the map it was in freeform and therefore cash was unlimited. I don't see why it would change when I send it to someone. It's all very confusing...
-
Ok folks, here is the scoop!
After reinstalling ZT2 on my pc, I opened the map to see what the problem was....there were many issues...
1) Animal happiness was in the red!!!!
2) Guest happiness was in the red!!!!
Donations were not coming in, guests were leaving unhappy, ring-tailed lemurs were throwing themselves into the water, etc.......!!!!!
The reason there were no adoptions allowed was simple. The Animal Organizations warning showed we were unable to adopt any animals. The zoo was in such deplorable conditions that it appeared that purchases were not possible; and I did not know this was possible!?!? I knew that animals could not be adopted, but to make even the most simple purchase of a water dish was not possible!!
Our first lesson: Zoo Building 101=keep the animals happy first, the guest will come, and money will come in their pockets!
First, I went into zoo keeper mode and started cleaning exhibits, feeding and grooming animals.
Then I reassigned zoo keepers to several exhibits. This was a problem: You can have as many gates as you want, but if you block the gate with an object, the zoo keeper cannot get in or out!
Then I started using all the tools the game provides for us.
I checked the animal exhibits one by one, first big problem: Way too many animals in the exhibits, thus the zoo keepers could not clean up, or feed fast enough. I think that 23 Koalas is cute, but 23! I started releasing and adopting animals.
No sooner did this happen and the donations started coming in again.
I sold the entire elevated pathwork for money since no one was using them.
I added restaurants and restrooms as the guests were all complaining.
I checked the skytram and no one was riding and the average donation was $20. All the complaints were the same: "Wish there were some animals to see"; "Those animals do not look healthy";..... The ride was not making any money. Just costing money in maintenance.
It is now turning a profit, average donation is $50, and the guests are in line to get on the ride.
I added a compost bin for recycling funds. The ring-tailed lemurs have new friends, Tapirs! A baby Black Rhino has been born, as well as a baby Crested Gibbon. Some of the exhibits are big enough to add other animal species to them.
Unhappy Animals=Unhappy Guest=No Money!!!!
This is why when the zoo made it to Csleesburg, she could not do anything. It took almost three hours of my work to make the animals happy this morning.
Admissions: Are now 989 almost 1000 guests!
Admissions Income: $13, 780
Donations: $315,444.00 up from the $258,624 when I opened the zoo!
Drinks/Food: $58,476
Recycling: $72,779 up from $35,284
Shops $34,590
I made the necessary changes to make the animals happy. We are still in the negative as far as cash flow, but the peeps are coming in now!!! I am still deleting water dishes since there were too many animals and the zoo keepers kept placing them--again maintenance that costs money!
-
:) Glad everythings started to turn around now. :wtg
-
From here you should watch it very closely. If you leave it unnatended bad things will happen. Who made it like that?
-
Artemis had the zoo after me, and it went up to 4 or 4 1/2 stars - how did it get that bad ?
-
I'm glad I could remind everybody about this. :wtg
-
Well, I don't think it's any one person who did it, it's just that none of us (as a group) were paying attention to the zoo as a WHOLE. We were all concentrating on our exhibit, and getting it ready and passing the zoo on. I don't think we were paying enough attention to long-term effects (like the lack of a compost heap) of actually running a zoo. I sold the conservation center (since the animals were breeding quite well without it :lol), and like zoohio, released/adoped quite a few animals. There were over 12 Bengal tigers in that space and at least 8 of them were adults! :shocked
Like zoohio, I went around cleaning up exhibits and feeding/grooming animals, but it didn't give me enough money to buy the fennecs, sadly. I made a desert space for them, though, so if we decide to add them, it's ready. I'm glad to hear the zoohio was able to bring the zoo back 'up to standards', too.
One thing I noticed was that many people nicely named their animals, but many of you named them Lord and/or Lady. Now this a problem when one dies, or if you have to release one. Keep in in mind that if you have Koala Lady and click on her family tree, it shows child Koala Lady and mate Koala Lord. That's not very helpful, actually. I tried to give names to quite a few of the animals, to clear this up, and re-named the lemurs and koalas with numbers (like Koala Lady 15 and Koala Lord 17) arbitrarily, because when you go to release an animal, you try to release the oldest ones, so they don't die of old age. It's fine to name them, but don't take away the numbers, either, or you lose track of them, and who is whose parent or sibling.
I'll try again, if zoohio wants to send the zoo back, but he may just submit it for upload. ;)
-
Csleesburg is right; it is about each of us handling the zoo. We are a team.
We are also a group of people who found one another at the Zoo Admin site, and there is a special bond between us---> Zoo Builders
What I should do is submit this zoo as a horrible scenario to Yellowrose as our next contest. See who can actually turn it into a money making zoo. :lol
I can send it back to csleesburg when I get home from work and let her work her Fennec Fox exhibit.
-
-raises her hand proudly- I was paying attention to the zoo as a whole. Woo. :P Aaanyway. I'm afraid it was me who started naming them Lord/Lady, but I didn't even think about the age factor! I usually go through family trees and release all the oldest members -- grandparents or parents so only siblings remain. Heh. Sorry. :>< Will we be making another quilt after this one runs out of room? Such fun!

That sounds like a fun idea, actually!!!
That's really crazy that it was in such bad shape. I didn't know it would not let you purchase things if it got bad enough, either. Never happened to me I guess.
How's the peafowl exhibit doing? ;)
-
Well, other than their constant complaining about a 'smelly exhibit' (typical peafowl), they're doing fine. They have several babies now, too. They seem to like their little corner exhibit, and like to perch in the trees. They especially like the bananas and apples in the hollow logs.
When I get done with the zoo, I'll give all y'all a full 'report' on it. Who has babies, statistics, finances, etc. ;)
-
They are not complaining anymore. I dropped a lion in the exhibit! :hehe Stopped all the complaining in no time.
Just kidding, they are happy now that scooped, fed and groomed them...and hired staff to take care of them!
-
NOOOOOOOOO!!! There's babies in there!!! :hehe Sniff, sniff.
That's good that the zoo is doing better now. I am excited to download this, even waaayyyy back when I worked on it I really wanted to see the finished product.

Oh, I saw the lion - thought he was a new toy for them! :shocked You mean he wasn't stuffed? :tongue1
-
:lol I don't know how this happened though! When I had the zoo it was a 5-star zoo with happy animals and guests and everything looked fine, including when I saved it! Maybe it got corrupted when I tried to send it to you.... I'm so sorry about that since it must have been something I did since when I got it and saved it, everything was fine... Something very odd is going on here, since, like I said, you should be able to buy a food dish since it was a freeform game with unlimited money! Well whatever, glad you got it to work better Zoohio....
-
Must have been corrupted. Once again: Can I do something like this in my show and tell topic?
This is off-topic, Koala King, but yes, you can if you wish. Just not the Hurricane Relief idea. It's called a Zoo Quilt, meaning it gets passed from person to person.
-
The zoo is once again five stars!
There was a problem with csleesburg working the zoo still, so I worked the Fennec Fox exhibit for her.
Here are the stats(http://img119.imageshack.us/img119/7444/zoostats5ym.jpg) (http://[URL=****)]Here[/URL]

As the guest walk to the Desert Exhibit viewing area here (http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/3820/fennec3fn.jpg)
Fixed the link ;)

Did I mention Desert Exhibit! Yes there are Oryx and Fennecs together here (http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/6901/fennecoryx0yd.jpg)
Fixed the link again
-
An overview of the exhibit.
I will let Csleesburg add her comments on why she chose the Fennec Fox! Here (http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/6479/overview2ey.jpg)
Fixed the link one more time :lol
-
Has anyone done a panda?
Maybe could I
-
I do not believe there was a panda, but the map is finished and ready for download
-
...and download it I have! To Earl and everyone who made up the quilt, congrats! :wtg It is a superb zoo, as I knew it would be. I'm just sorry that I was having pc problems at the time, so I could not contribute. :sad
I would recommend everyone to download the quilt. Its lovely. Well done again, everyone. :heaster1
-
Sorry I was so late about this. I chose the Fennecs because they can fit in anywhere. They survive in very harsh conditions and are a very cohesive family group. They stay together and have children, no matter what the conditions.
-
The zoo looks really nice... but wasn't I supposed to get it? :huh oh well

Yes, but you said you could not work on it and would let us know when you could. Never heard back from you.
Maybe the next Quilt Zoo.
-

I have a great idea for a new Quilt and will contact the Admins/Mods to see if I can start one!
-
I would also like to be a part of the next zoo, too. It's quite a splendid zoo! You are doing a very good thing by inspiring the victims of Hurricane Katrina. :console:
-
Um,i'll do nile monitor.if its not taken
-
if this is still going, I'll be part of the next zoo too. (red panda exhibit!)
-
Wow, what a wonderful idea. The pictures are amazing also. Could explain how you do this though? I still don't understand. How does it all work together..? :ermm: Oh, and do another one of these zoos. I'd like to contribute too.
