Title: Rosina's Cat's ZT1 Zoos
Post by: Rosinas Cat on October 22, 2006, 04:12:32 AM: Oh boy. This is scary. I'm a ZT2 person, so I am really outside my comfort zone here. But I have built a small zoo, all-rainforest, so I thought I'd show you guys the pics I have taken. Please be nice to me!!:paperbag:

At the entrance is a small exhibit with some beautiful butterflies. (http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j39/rosina_photo/butterflies.jpg)

Post by: Rosinas Cat on October 22, 2006, 04:14:36 AM: Just so the guests know there aren't just animals in the zoo, but other entertainment as well, I have put an I-Max (http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j39/rosina_photo/imax.jpg) theater near the entrance. : :) :

Post by: Rosinas Cat on October 22, 2006, 04:16:37 AM: Although most animals in the zoo are very modern, there are some that are pre-historic! (http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j39/rosina_photo/caudies.jpg) The caudipteryx are my favourite zt1 dino!

Post by: Rosinas Cat on October 22, 2006, 04:17:51 AM: When I was browsing through the ZT1 downloads here at ZA, I found so many great animals. Here (http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j39/rosina_photo/tapirs.jpg) is a good example. In fact there were a few tapirs to choose from. We are so lucky here!!

Post by: Rosinas Cat on October 22, 2006, 04:22:08 AM: Hmm, what next. OK, how about these guys (http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j39/rosina_photo/elephants.jpg). They have one of the bigger exhibits in the zoo, and they seem to like it.:thumbsup:

Post by: Rosinas Cat on October 22, 2006, 04:23:27 AM: As you can see, they are next to the restaurant (http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j39/rosina_photo/restaurant.jpg). I love the golden elephant statue!

Post by: Rosinas Cat on October 22, 2006, 04:26:30 AM: These guys (http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j39/rosina_photo/chimps.jpg) were a problem. Because I wanted to use the stone/window fence throughout, I had to improvise a bit. So I have the iron bar fence to stop the chimps escaping, surrounded by the stone fence for the appearance! The guests seem ok about it, surprisingly.:whistling

Post by: Rosinas Cat on October 22, 2006, 04:28:56 AM: Last pic (http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j39/rosina_photo/adopnocturn.jpg) for now. A nice guest area. And the adoption centre is such a money maker!!: :) :

I will post more pics when I have another zoo to show you. May be a while....:wink:

Post by: Bengal_Tiger on October 22, 2006, 04:31:12 AM: Wow! I love your zoo, Rosinas Cat, so much beter than I can do right now and I've been playing ZT1 since I can remember!

I do have one question though, what downloads are you using?

Can't wait to see more! :woot:
Title: Rosina's Cat's ZT1 Zoos
Post by: Rosinas Cat on October 22, 2006, 04:41:15 AM: Thanks, Bengal Tiger. But WOW!! Thats a really hard question. I am using so many downloads its pretty ridiculous, actually! :laughing: One thing for sure, they are all from here at ZA. I know the butterflies were part of a 'Malayan Tapir and friends' download, so they might have been tricky to find. But I think everything else is fairly easy to find in the downloads section.

But if there is anything specific you are looking for, by all means pm me and I will try to find a link for you!: :) :

Thanks again - I wan't sure if these pics were worth showing....:unsure:

Post by: Budgielover101 on October 22, 2006, 05:47:40 AM: yes they are worth showing! I love them! :clapping: You are just as good at ZT1 as you are at ZT2! Great pics!

Post by: alloy61 on October 22, 2006, 06:22:02 AM: Great work Rosina! The whole theme looks great - way better than my attempts at ZT1

Neat idea with the chimps too, it would never have occurred to me to try that :thumbsup:
Title: Rosina's Cat's ZT1 Zoos
Post by: mikaboshi on October 22, 2006, 06:32:05 AM: Yeah, same here about those tricky chimps! You always have such innovative ways to get your way in the games :lolol: Very creative, as always!

Post by: zoohio on October 22, 2006, 08:05:47 AM: I almost fell over when I read this topic title as I am not sure I have ever seen you build a ZT1 zoo!
Excellent job!
I never have problems with the chimps since I learned not to place the trees on the side of the exhibit. And speaking of trees, I love all the palms everywhere.

Post by: mo15 on October 22, 2006, 08:48:07 AM: Wow! I'm so glad you decided to give ZT1 a try, it looks excellent! So bright and colourful! :woot:

Post by: sheltiefan on October 22, 2006, 09:11:32 AM: I don't why you where so worried about showing pics of your zoo Rosina. It looks great:thumbsup:. I love how you used the palm trees as a border throughout the zoo.
Title: Rosina's Cat's ZT1 Zoos
Post by: Rosinas Cat on October 22, 2006, 09:11:46 AM: Thanks a lot, everyone. :rolleyes:

Mika, you know me too well!!:wicked:

And zoohio, I know putting trees in the middle of the exhibit is the answer, but I just like putting them about more randomly; so I have to be inventive with the fences!:rolleyes:

And as for the border of palms, zoohio and sheltiefan, its an idea I use in ZT2 a lot. I'm not very imaginative, you see; once I get one idea, it has to last a long time! lol

I probably wont be able to post any new pics til next weekend. I am sort of thinking about doing another small zoo, just while I get used to ZT1 building again - maybe savannah and desert, or MM, I can't decide....: :) :

I really like the elephants and tapirs!

Post by: Bengal_Tiger on October 24, 2006, 10:10:51 AM: Can't wait to see another one of your zoos! I think you should do a MM one, but still...Can't wait for more pics! : :) :
