Megaraptor's Zoos (Includes MM2 demo)

[Penguino]

Topic reopened on request.

[Megaraptor]

Big thanks to you Penguino, but seeing how its late where I live, I'll have to wait until tomorrow until I can post my pics. All I need is one more download and my first zoo will be completed.

[Megaraptor]

Okay, here is my newest zoo. This zoo focuses on the preservation and conservation of rare and unique animals. The Outer circle of the zoo features many different animals, while a single, immense exhibit contains a secret animal. The largest of its species ever discovered and captured. I'll let you guys ponder what it could be, and in a while i'll give you a hint or two, then I'll reveal what it is.

Its early morning, when you cross through the front gate-

As you continue past the Horse exhibit, you come to the newly redesigned tapir enclosure-

Not far from the Tapir Exhibit, lies an artificial pond. This pond contains the cutest aquatic mammal to grace this planet-

Anyone have a guess as to what the secret animal is?

[Nique]

Well, I have no idea what the secret animal is but those we can see are amazing! :sign_kewl I the picture of the baby Tapir... makes you want to give it huggles! lol Really nice zoo layout so far! and I'll be watching for the secret animal! :cards:

[germanwolf]

I agree with Nique! And you take very good pics! I love them, and your zoo looks great!!!:01:

[Megaraptor]

Thanks for the compliments. I thought nobody was going to look at my thread.

Heading west from the entrance, you come across the Crocodile pond-

(Your first tiny hint to the secret animals identity is located in the background of the above picture. The Moutains are what keep the creature from escaping, and the Desert Theme fences are key to its identity)
The large Bull Crocodile-

The Mother and her new-born baby resting on the shore-

I'll give you all another hint to the identity of the animal. It is a real animal. Its species is not extinct, and it is the largest of its kind to have ever been discovered.

[Ouch]

Hazard a guess...Whale Shark.

[Megaraptor]

No, but it is very large. The animal in my zoo is an actual animal living in Africa right now. It is very dangerous, and many people have tried to capture it, but all have failed.

I'm going to start showing some overview pics of all of exhibits, starting with the entrance-

And Moving east to the Przewalski's Horse exhibit-

[Packraptor]

Nice pics. Is the animal a Giant Sable Antelope, or an African Elephant?

[seaworldgurl1]

is it a usermade animal or an official one? since it is a desert fence, ummm idk...maybe a komodo dragon or an ellie?

[Megaraptor]

It is usermade, but it is representing an Official animal. As in, it is a usermade animal that looks almost exactly like an official game animal. Because the animal is so big, i used a Usermade animal that would represent his size.

The secret animal just had a special documentary released about him. A movie was also made based off of his "legend", which was released earlier this month. He is roughly 35-40 feet long.

[Megaraptor]

I didn't really do a very good job with the Secret animal, so I'm gonna go ahead and reveal it.

You turn from from the crocodile exhibit, and face a forboding entrance to the monsters kingdom-

Whatever it is, its very large, and very dangerous.

[Ouch]

Oh, I get it. Is it the Nile Crocodile (resized version)?

[Megaraptor]

Yes, sort of. I am using the Deinosuchus model to simulate an enormous crocodile. Thats the reason I asked for a new Deinosuchus in the Request topic.

Enter Gustave. A 40 foot long, 2 ton, 65 year old Nile Crocodile-

He is the true king of Africa. Hes so large he hunted adult Hippos in the wild, until he was captured and brought to this zoo. it was either that or he would've been hunted.
