That's all I have for the Pygmy Hippo/Saola exhibit for now, since I don't have my game CD I can't take new pics at the moment. If I get a better picture I'll put that up, too, or replace it wit one of the ones that is up now.

Back on the tour, the next exhibit on display is the Cameroon Dwarf Goat/Shetland Pony Exhibit. If you're still at the Asiatic Bear exhibit, you just need to keep moving further into the zoo and turn right. If you went back to the main food court to grab a bite to eat, you simply need to exit the back access path that was added. Here's an overhead shot, although the Cameroon Dwarf Goat numbers have gone up significantly since it was taken! Note that the Bengal Tigers are overlooking the exhibit. They can look, but not stalk!

I have a real fondness for these little goats. They are sooooooo cute! :wub :angel Here they are, romping and playing.

can you ost some pony pics

Peacenote · « **Reply #53 on:** October 04, 2005, 03:37:27 PM »

Here's a small group, having a meeting. The need for secrecy requires having it among foliage.

Close-up candid of a bleating goat. I really like this picture - - probably why I'm putting it up here! :lol

Peacenote · « **Reply #55 on:** October 04, 2005, 03:59:08 PM »

I couldn't decide which baby goat picture to show...so I combined two into one!

This really makes me want to download the goats

Peacenote · « **Reply #57 on:** October 04, 2005, 04:04:09 PM »

A baby shetland pony grazing!

EDIT: I keep forgetting to add the pics!! Also, this is the only Shetland Pony picture I have right now because I added them in later to the exhibit.

So you just visited the Asiatic Bear exhibit, or used the super-luxurious bathrooms. To the right, you can see the fence of the Goat/Pony exhibit. Straight ahead, there's a comfortable gazebo beckoning, or a playground and gift shop beyond that. There are many things to do at the zoo at sunset. And to the left, what's that? A rising path, which leads to...where? Stay tuned to find out!!

:whistle

Wow, this is amazingly beautiful!! :w00t I love the way you've built this zoo and its exhibits. Great job!! :w00t

Hey Peacenote! After your message in my S&T, I thought I should return the favour and check out your stuff again. And I am really pleased I did. This 'elevation zoo' is fantastic.

Any chance of getting it put up for download when its done? :rolleyes

Peacenote · « **Reply #61 on:** October 12, 2005, 08:39:27 PM »

Thank-you very much, Rosina's Cat! I could definitely put it up for download if people are interested!

So, you're eyeing the rising path. And it takes you to...the King Cheetah exhibit! While I didn't want to make my next elevated exhibit also be a Savannah one, I got so excited about these guys I couldn't resist. But this exhibit does have some different features, such as
- a dedicated guest area, complete with restrooms and a restaurant
- it is quite large, so large I couldn't get the overview to fit on one screen
- a large waterfall
- a level animal plateau in the center: when the King Cheetahs are lounging there, they are actually level with the guests!
- detailed paths lighted by flame
- fountains and rides

The left side of the exhibit. You can also see in the lower righthand corner a better view of the playground and shetland pony ride. The water in the bottom lefthand corner is from the Asiatic Bear Exhibit.

The right side of the exhibit. See the little King Cheetah on the heated rock? :wub

A closer view of the guest area dedicated to King Cheetah observers.

Peacenote · « **Reply #63 on:** October 12, 2005, 08:54:32 PM »

Shake! I mean Paw! I mean Wave! Wait, I mean....

Ahem! We do NOT train our wild animals here at the zoo to perform tricks. We are dedicated to making their lives as close to their wild environments as possible. Instead, what I meant to say was, a young King Cheetah grooming. :lol

Peacenote · « **Reply #64 on:** October 12, 2005, 08:57:45 PM »

A nice close-up shot. Of a King Cheetah.

Peacenote · « **Reply #65 on:** October 12, 2005, 09:05:49 PM »

Here's a great action shot of a Mom and baby, a King Cheetah walking, and a fourth one running! This was taken from a guest viewing area. The food icon is because the baby just finished nursing. :happy

Peacenote · « **Reply #66 on:** October 12, 2005, 09:12:34 PM »

Isn't this the sweetest shot? One is saying "I love you!"

I have more.......but I will hold myself back!

There are other animals in this zoo!

Wooly Rhino · « **Reply #67 on:** October 13, 2005, 07:09:47 AM »

I love that running cheetah!

Tyto alba · « **Reply #68 on:** October 13, 2005, 04:46:31 PM »

Nice job on those pics Peacenote! Expecially love the last one! :wub

Peacenote · « **Reply #69 on:** October 24, 2005, 02:56:40 PM »

Well, I know everyone wants to see ES pics (including me!

), but I really wanted to finish with this zoo, because I like finishing things, and because I still do like it! I hope you enjoy these pics!

Across from the Goat exhibit (and next to the King Cheetah exhibit) is a rising, wooded path...

Peacenote · « **Reply #70 on:** October 24, 2005, 02:57:53 PM »

If you follow it, you'll come to this view:

Peacenote · « **Reply #71 on:** October 24, 2005, 03:10:26 PM »

It's a Desert/Savannah Exhibit, home to some Quaggas and Somalien Wild Donkeys. The biomes are split by a mix of trees from both the desert and the savannah, but the animals seem happy on either side!

Here's a cute picture of a baby Somalien Wild Donkey running!

Peacenote · « **Reply #72 on:** October 24, 2005, 03:13:40 PM »

Here's a baby Donkey nursing. I love how the stripes on his legs are barely visible! I said there were Quaggas? Oh, don't worry, there are! :happy

Peacenote · « **Reply #73 on:** October 24, 2005, 03:17:01 PM »

Here's one happily sleeping in the grass!

And here's a baby Quagga peeking out from the grass!

Peacenote · « **Reply #74 on:** October 24, 2005, 03:19:38 PM »

Lastly, for this exhibit, we have a baby and adult Quagga together. Lots of babies around here!
