Here are the pics as promised.

  • A polar bear's sense of smell is so good that it can detect a seal under 10 feet of solid ice!

  • It's real easy to see why this animal is called a specticaled bear. Just look around it's eyes!:happy:
And finally, an updated map of the zoo. Again, if you have a request for me, jus' let me know, Okie-dokie?:happy:

I have new pics! YAY!

I'v elooked at your requests, and instead of making an outdoor exhibit, I just made a small mammals house! Enjoy!

Outside the Small Mammals House is a colony of six meerkats, a social species of mongoose that can neat venomous scorpions without getting themselves killed. Cool!

Here's what the House looks like from the outside.

Here are are the featured animals in the House.
  • The American beaver actually spends more time inside resting in the dams they construct instead of building improvements on them. Makes sense since there's lots of things that would love to snack on a beaver!:happy:

  • The fennic fox is the smallest fox species, but has the biggest ear-to-body ratio of any canine!

  • "Aardvark" comes from two Afrikaan words that mean, "earth pig".

  • The ratel, or honey badger, is very aggresive. It has to be, just to stay alive in the harsh African grasslands!

  • The wolverine has also been called the "skunk bear" because people say it's as strong as a bear, yet it smells like a skunk. It's not suprising since it's in the skunk family! (So is the ratel!)

  • And finally, the cutest animal here at the Zoo, without a doubt, the koala. If you've seen The Most Extreme before, you'll know about the koala's eating habits when it's a baby. If not, well, that's for you to find out!
Here's what the Zoo looks like now that I've added the Small Mammals House.

I'll have more later, once I see any new requests. Until then, have a nice day!:happy:

Thanks for the requests!

@badisbadis101: I tried that, but it it's hard to do right now. There's a sky-tram tour above the Asian elephant exhibit, so I'll have to scratch that one. Sorry!
I'd be willing to do a primate house, though! How does that sound?

@catfan: I visited your topic! I think your reptile and small mammals house looks dandy! You're doing a good job!:happy:

Hey everyone! I'm back again with new pics and updates!

For starters, I moved the meerkats to a new exhibit and replaced thier old exhibit with a pair of secretary birds. Don't woory, the meerkats are still here! It's just that they are somewhere else in the zoo. Anyway, here's what the zoo looks like as of now.

Here are some of the new animals:

  • The secretary bird is infamous for being a predatory bird in Africa. It usually feasts on venomous snakes and lizards.

  • Meerkats usually have one member of the group to act as a scout so that they can watch out for predators.

  • The "warts" on a wartog's face aren't really warts. They're just bumps on thier face.

  • There's a good reason why the gerenuk is also called a "giraffe-gazelle". Both have long necks, eat leaves from trees and have a long tounge so they can eat food easily.

  • The white rhinoceros is now the most common rhino species, with numbers at thier 10,000's now.
That's all for now! I'll probablly start the primate house either tonight or tommorrow! Again, please post requests here, if you have any!:happy:

MAJOR UPDATES!!!!

I decided to do what I traditionally do first: I built a new Safari Area and made a huge exhibit with nothing but African savanah animals. I had to move all of the savanah hooved mammals, the elephants, the ostriches and others so that it would work.

So now, here is what J.L.S Zoological Gardens looks like as of now.

I'll have more pics later!:happy:

Thanks, Jaguar!
Now's your chance to see what it looks like in a guests-eye and bird's-eye view!

Follow the yellow-brick road.
What luck! A JEEP tour station!
And here's the mini-guest area.

Here's a good view of the Safari Area.
And another!

Again, post requests here if any! I have lots of room left and I'm running out of ideas!:happy:
