The next exhibit you pass on the sky tram is the bengal tigers:

From the sky tram you get a stunning shot of Arnold, the White Bengal Tiger

The sky tram shoots down over the waterfall (as seen from the first pic) revealing the mixed exhibit of Black Leopards and Jaguars living together peacefully:

The next exhibit is covered in foliage, even with the sky tram's vantage point you struggle to see what's in it:

Then out from the shade of a tree you see one of the inhabitants heading for lunch...

This takes you to the second sky tram station stop, where you decide to feast at the nearby restaurant:

That's all for today - you now have a choice - you can take the sky tram back to the beginning or you can head to the nearby enclosure that contains some peafowl...

While you make your choice you glance at another gorilla postcard and tempt yourself with sending it to your ex...

Wow. I really like the postcard of the gorilla on the tire swing.

After a bit of deliberation, you decide the cheesecake wouldn't sit well back on the sky tram.

So peeking round the corner you look into the Tapir enclosure on your way to the peafowl:

You also peer into the rhinos and notice that they're playing hide and seek:

Needing a rest you stop by this fountain display:

Just before turning right into the peafowl area, you watch the Galapagos toroise plod it's way into the water for a refreshing drink:

And here's the overhead shot of the rhinos, tapirs and galapagos tortoises that you just passed:

Turning right you come across two of our gargantuan mixed exhibits - giraffes and antelope, and peafowl, koalas and giant pandas:

Great pics, alloy! :w00t The tapirs in the water pic is fab! :wtg

alloy61 · « **Reply #65 on:** April 10, 2006, 12:50:51 PM »

The giraffes and antelope viewable from the elevated path:

Thanks Rosina! Here is a closer look at the antelopes:

And the majestic giraffe

alloy61 · « **Reply #68 on:** April 10, 2006, 12:56:27 PM »

The mixed panda, koala and peafowl exhibit was an experiment to see how the pandas would get on with their associates - at this point I was feeling sorry for the koalas...

alloy61 · « **Reply #69 on:** April 10, 2006, 12:58:29 PM »

Even now, the poor Koala spends much of his time in hiding

alloy61 · « **Reply #70 on:** April 10, 2006, 01:00:01 PM »

The peafowl however thrived and bred rapidly - here's a male trying to attract a female:

However the experiment remained a complete success - both pairs of pandas had daughters as you can see:

Oddly enough my giraffes regularly escaped into the panda enclosure, and the biome suitability stayed in the green? The fence was complete, I wonder if it was a glitch, or whether the fact I used a pit for most fo the fence allowed it to 'detect' the neighbouring exhibit and classed it as ok?

That's all for now, more to follow later in the week as you visit the zoo's final exhibits :penguin

I love your koalas (figures)! That one of it in the nesting box is great. The koalas aren't poor, they seem to be getting along great.

Oh don't get me started on animals escaping through intact fences! :angry In my current zoo its the flamingoes' favourite trick, but all sorts of creatures do it at some point or other. :blink I think its just a glitch, so theres probably nothing we can do about it. Dont know why it still accepted the new biome though. My escapees usually get into guest areas.

Great pics again, alloy :wtg

Koalas are very shy creatures. They are also very picky eaters. Do you have eucalyptus in ES? I don't have it, so I don't know. Look in the zoopedia and you'll find out why they're like that.
