Sheltiefan's ZT2 Pics!
« on: June 03, 2006, 10:47:07 PM »
I've decided to share some of my nicer pics from ZT2(and perhaps some zoos if I get the courage), I have both AA and ES and I'm happy to take requests for photos.

Here's my first pic of two wilderbeasts charging each other.

A bongo (one of my favorite AA animals)


And finally a striped hyena (another of my favorites)

Great pics so far!  I love the charging picture -- I have tried to get a cool picture of that and so far have failed!  :laughing:

You pictures are quite something. They capture unique behaviours that no one else has shown us.

Thankyou all. Here's a series of white rhino pics.

I've been noticing a decrease in my plants and now I know why. I shall have my revenge maw ha ha! (I'm okay now)

A rhino taking a dust bath.

This is why rhinos can't play hide and go seek.

@DingoMutt. Yes they are indeed sparring, I actually was cleaning up poop:sick:(since my lazy zoo keepers won't) when I noticed them charging and quickly went into photo mode to snap the pic.

No problem DingoMutt here are the warthogs (I'll try to get some meerkat pics tomorrow)

The warthogs always run around the exhibit with their tails in the air it's so funny.

Here's one just wandering around.

Whoever said warthogs can't be cute.

And finally a picture of them demonstrating the new herding behavior (this is the first time I've seen it)

This just dosn't look normal

This little fellow is hiding in the grass (a new behavior perhapes)

These two are play fighting. It's really funny to watch, they keep jumping up and down and barking at each other.

Aww, the babies are soooo cute.

Great pictures...but I also love the environments all of your animals are in! It looks like you build very large and natural looking exhibits. Great job! :smile:

Okay I now have a series of masia giraffe pics.

A couple of giraffes eating from a tree.
[/URL][/IMG]

One of my giraffes began running around the exhibit and...
[/URL][/IMG]

...soon the whole herd joined in!
[/URL][/IMG]

And a single giraffe watching the others.
[/URL][/IMG]

P.S. I would really like some requests so I know what people are interested in seeing (I also have no problem sharing pics of non AA animals)
