I've taken a break from some of my Admin stuff and my website stuff to finish up a new medium map tonight. Let me see if I can get the pics up here...

 :wub: Aaawwww, thank you Zookreeper, but it's not really one of my best efforts. I'm still going to work on it a bit.

I have also been working on a 2nd zoo using my new small Twin Falls Rainforest Zoo Map. The guest happiness with the first zoo was not up to my expectations so I'm testing it again. First up, I put an exhibit for my beloved Giraffes, then Little C's lions. At the corner of the exhibits I built the Bush Tuck restaurant with a complete walk-around patio.

The Lions new neighbors were Little C's Elephants and their toys. Across from them are 2 of my favorite grazing animals, the Zebras and Gazelles. They are in seperate exhibits, with a full sized walk through viewing area that takes them from the center of the zoo to the Elephant Exhibit.

Thank you so much FH and ZK...

FH-I haven't decided yet on whether I'm going to put in a marine exhibit or not. If I do it will probably be  :dolphin as they are my absolute favorite.

ZK-You are way too kind...artistry in my soul-WOW, that's a supreme compliment! Thank you so very much! Ya know, you can always copy/paste these pics to your computer instead of taking notes... :wub:

I feel the call of ZT1 a lot lately (might have something to do with all those ZT1 downloads I've been working with) but I just don't have time.  So it's so fun to come in here and see what you're doing, because your pics are awesome and give me somewhat of a ZT1 fix!  These last few pics you posted are sooo pretty!

Peacenote & Panda King, you are both very kind with your compliments... :eggblush thank you very much!

I did a bit more building recently, so I though I'd get these posted before I start my last big area for this zoo.

My Bengal Tigers now have new neighbors--their cousins the White Bengal Tigers. At the corner is the newly constructed Rain Forest Restaurant, complete with moat and gardens.

The empty space next to the Rain Forest Restaurant was just the right size to put in the Petting Zoo. I'm not at all sure I like the colors I chose for it... :eggcrazy I had to take this pic without the foliage, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to see it! Can we says ooppssiiee?!  :eggwhistle

In the back corner I shifted gears a bit and put in an exhibit for the Black Bears. The first pic has the foliage turned off so you can see the viewing area.

On the other side of the zoo, in the rear corner, I decide to do a couple more marine exhibits. Since I have never done an exhibit for the Manatees in recent memory, I placed them next to my African Elephants. Next to the Manatees I put in the Boat Shack attraction, and WOW, did guests start flocking to that!  :surprise:

Across the path from the Boat Shack an exhibit for the Manta Rays was built. Lobby's Marine Restaurant has also been a big favorite of my guests. Statues of Poseidon and double wide Marine arches makes a nice gateway for the marine section of my zoo.

Oh, you were too Animalover44, you just didn't think you were!  :slol: ( :offtopic: here: congrats on your MOM Animalover!). Hey, I'm allowed-it's my thread  :neneh

Well, I am finished with this zoo. Tonight I completed that empty spot in the back area by building an elevated Food Court with the Carousel in the middle of it. However, before those pics are presented, there was some other space to be filled first. I decided to put in one more marine exhibit with another new creature for me-the Atlantic Swordfish.
