I just wanted to see what everyone favorite new features are so far. My favorite new biome is coastal, my favorite animals are the Sea Lion, Sea Otter, Orca, Beluga and Bootlenose Dolphin. I love the new marine theme items and building hybrid exhibits. So what's yours?

My favorite Biome has to be Reef, with Coastal at a very close second. My Favorite animal of all is the Reef Shark. My other favorites are the Beluga, Sea Lion, Bottlenose Dolphin, Green Sea Turtle and the Hammerhead Shark. My favorite feature has to be the Tanks. They are useful for more than just making a tank.

I lurvve the belugas and narwhales. I like making huge Tundra mixed exhibits with all the animals, except penguins. Much funness there.

But I like the rocks/foliage for reef. I LOVE how that when you place a reef rock, little fishes swim around it! SO COOL!

I like the new items for guests like kiosks, and the blue-whale walk-through.  LOVE the fact that we got a whole new gift cart.  I just wish we had marine-themed buildings.

Hard to pick a favorite animal, I like so many of them!  I love how the pilot whales swim together.  Add toys to a sea-lion cage and watch the fun!  

Love the ambients!

Ok folks, is it my imagination, or are the zookeepers running more?  It seems like they're smarter and hustling around a lot more than they used to!  But the maintenance people are dumber.  I used to be able to run a pretty big zoo with one maintenance person, and now I definitely need more.

It would be nice if they did improve the zookeeper AI.  That was one of our big complaints before.

I also like the eyedropper tool for quickly duplicating objects and animals.  Great idea.

Well, I love the terrain tools used in the underwater process!
It makes my exhibits look more natural! which I <3!
but if we are talking bimoes, I would say benthic, I found a way to make the gws look really cool in it.
and favorite animals would be: Belugas, GWs, and Short finned pilot whales!

[modnotice=mikaboshi]PLEASE remember that ANYONE can edit wikipedia - therefore it contains many rumors. Please do not use Wikipedia as a source of accurate information concerning the game. Thank you. [/modnotice]

i tried the demo and LOVED it.  My birthday is at the end of the month, but i dont know if i can wait that long to get it.  I have to say that may favorite new feature is probably the going underwater, and creating enormous underwater habitats, at least in the demo, i want the game so bad, so i can have more foliage and animals, i don't know if i will use the regular animals very much anymore, because i love the marine animals so much.  I can't WAIT TO GET THE GAME...lol, nice topics guys. :IloveZA:
