Well I was able to start on the zoo a bit early and finished my exhibit. I chose the Common Peafowl because I think that in times of trouble it's good to remember that even the smallest and lowliest of us can make a difference. It is easy to think "I'm only one person" and I thought the peafowl, as one of the first animals available in the game, with low attraction and price, was the perfect reminder of how EVERYONE can make a difference. Even in the time I've had the zoo the peafowl have gotten over $2,000 in donations! :happy
While I had the zoo, it hit the one year mark, and we received a commemorative seal for that. We also had our first rhino baby born. There was one tragic event though. Paul and Pauline's baby got stuck climbing out of the deep water. I received no messages saying he was hungry or thirsty, but noticed his needs all in red as I was looking through the list of animals. I picked him up and set him on the ground, and immediately it said he was "dying of illness." I hopped into zookeeper mode and healed him, but even though the vet bag closed up it wasn't enough and he didn't make it.
The good news is Pauline is expecting again.
Also I crated the female African elephant because she wandered around the WHOLE time I had the zoo, saying she was going to give birth, but never did, and in the meantime kept neglecting her needs. I also added an ATM because guests kept complaining that they didn't have one.
Here are some pics:
