Thank you so much :blush

Here's another spin on the City by the Sea, another entry. I think I got 2nd or 3rd place on this:

Yet another contest, this one a zoo which had to have a central court for the guests to gather in. This zoo had official content only:

This was another contest zoo that had to be all marine animals, and it was either a large or medium map (can't remember which). I chose to go with an Atlantean/rainforest theme for it, and filled the whole map somehow :rolleyes
The entrance:

Beluga/mermaid viewing area:

That's it?! :lol
These pictures are so amazing. You are a great zoobuilder! :wtg

hehe, there's some amazing competition! The person who got 1st place on the City by the Sea contest had something incredibly original and breathtaking

And thank you so much for the compliment!

In the MM zoo, here's an overview shot of the bay towards the back of the zoo. The invisible fence was used to create 2 exhibits within the bay:

And another overview towards the front of the zoo:

EDIT: I'm looking for a user created animal that I'm sure I saw here at ZA, but now I can't find it. Can anyone point me towards the equine (horse/unicorn) that has a mane of fire??

The Saltwater croc picture is awesome.

I've started a new zoo, and I'll be using all user-created animals, as this zoo has a volcanic theme. I've never used the lava path (despite having created it

), and that's what inspired this zoo.

Instead of giving a creative tour, I'll be rating the animals as I go.

Here by the entrance we have the Mythic Salamander (top exhibit) and the Lavagator (bottom exhibit):

I like the Mythic Salamander, but it's exhibit is extremely boring. It requires solid gray stone, and lava pits, volcanoes and such are habitat neutral, but it will not tolerate any foliage or rocks, and the highest suitability I can get it is 81% - with the colorful ferns I put in, the suitability dropped to 80%.
Conversely, the Lavagator is one of my favorite user-created animals ever! They're black gators at first glance, but glow red around the edges in the water. Lovely exhibit that needs brown and gray stone, dirt and salt water, as well as some elevation. Guests absolutely love this animal (I'll get back to you on the Mythic Salamanders, I forgot to look

)

When I took this shot, what you see is all there is in the zoo, and guest happiness had just hit 96%!

Excellent job! I especially like the Rainforest Atlantis pics!

To the other side of the entrance you will find Volcanic Unicorns (on the right) and Pyro Zebras (on the left). Both are programmed to have volcanoes/tar pits in their exhibits with no effect on their happiness, making for some interesting exhibits

They are programmed closely enough that they can go in a combined exhibit, but I'm a stickler where exhibit suitability is concerned, so these 2 exhibits are separated by an invisible fence. Both are crowd pleasers and a lot of fun! Alternate view of the Volcanic Unis with a view of the entrance:

Next is the Dragon, or Flying Dragon from here at ZA. An uninspired shot as far as photography goes, but you can see that even the babies breathe fire

The highest I could get the suitability for these dragons is in the low 90's, always a point of contention for me, but the animals are happy, which is always a plus. There's a glitch with this animal that shows that the preferred foliage is the Baobob tree, when in reality they prefer a highland exhibit with Himalayan Pine trees, etc.

The shots are looking great! I love the colors! Keep it up, can't wait for more! :w00t

Firehawke · « **Reply #63 on:** April 21, 2006, 02:15:34 PM »

You make me want to go and play ZT ASAP! Great job Genki!!! I just wish that I could make my zoos half as beautiful as your's are! Keep up the great work and congrats on so many wonderful zoos!!!

genkicoll · « **Reply #64 on:** April 25, 2006, 05:53:23 PM »

A couple more shots for you

These next 2 animals are available here at ZA.

The Eurasian Wyvern is a fun animal, and very nicely done.

You can see the Wyverns in the background here, as well. In the foreground are my favorite user-created dragon, Lehner's Red Dragon :wub At first glance this dragon seems a bit strange, but it has a lovely exhibit (which in this case I tried to make a bit more natural, which is why you can't see some of them clearly) and is absolutely adorable. It's the only dragon I've seen that both walks and flies, and it will suddenly plop onto its side and curl up for a nap - so cute! :wub

KingCow · « **Reply #65 on:** April 25, 2006, 05:54:47 PM »

As i've said before: OOOOOOO

OOOOH! I like it a lot!

penguinman · « **Reply #66 on:** April 25, 2006, 06:01:19 PM »

YAY for Genki's zoos!

I love the lava themed zoo, its neat to see a huge themed zoo like that. As Firehawke said, it makes me want to play ZT1 again!

bob5 · « **Reply #67 on:** April 25, 2006, 06:05:18 PM »

Where'd you get the Volcanic Unicorn and Pyro Zebra?

genkicoll · « **Reply #68 on:** April 25, 2006, 07:26:22 PM »

Thank you very much for the compliments

The volcanic unicorn and pyro zebra are both available at Zoo Keeper's Lounge (ZKL) HERE

The Red Worg from Zoo Tek is a handsome creature with a haunting wolf-song. They breed quickly (but not so quickly that you're frantically selling to keep the exhibit from being crowded), and make an interesting exhibit:

Next I put in a savannah exhibit with zebras, gazelles, ostriches, water buffalo and wildebeest, using the oasis to make the exhibit a bit more interesting...and yes, you DO see a tar pit in the exhibit! A little something extra for more interest, but it's separated from the actual exhibit with invisible fencing

bob5 · « **Reply #69 on:** April 25, 2006, 07:42:53 PM »

Now, how do I install both of them completely? There are tons of files I've never even heard of before in there!

erinllama · « **Reply #70 on:** April 25, 2006, 08:01:55 PM »

woah! tHAT IS AMAZING! But anyways, amazing job and nice theme :wtg

genkicoll · « **Reply #71 on:** April 25, 2006, 09:04:14 PM »

Ah, on the ZKL files, sometimes you unzip them and you'll have a folder called "animals". Just re-zip the folder and name it...whatever animal it is like "Pyro Zebra.zip", then change the extension to .ztd

wolfclan4515 · « **Reply #72 on:** April 26, 2006, 01:06:40 PM »

Wow, the colors are absolutely gorgeous!!! Keep it up!

mo15 · « **Reply #73 on:** April 26, 2006, 07:00:56 PM »

Wow, awesome zoo! Lovely colors, beautiful themes, and it looks very natural! :wtg

genkicoll · « **Reply #74 on:** April 27, 2006, 06:29:46 PM »

Here we have the Desert Tiger on the left and Kemp's Ripley Turtle (from ZKL) on the right. The tiger has a wonderfully interesting exhibit as you can see

The turtle is a lovely dark bluish color, and THIS turtle certainly doesn't poke around! This little guy is FAST!

Next are the Coral Snakes, also from ZKL. These little guys don't have a slither or swim animation, but they do coil up (as snakes do) and are certainly an interesting creature to exhibit for the guests. The observation area for the snakes actually goes back behind the restaurant and through the trees on a butterfly path:
