Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: Fennec Nichov on February 27, 2007, 06:45:02 PM: All right...

Next, we have the ancestor of dinosaurs -- Euparkeria!

Post by: spiderdraco on February 27, 2007, 07:26:45 PM: Cool pics, especially the proterogyrinus. It's a downoald or is just a Nile Monitor, because it looks really good.
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: Fennec Nichov on February 27, 2007, 07:30:44 PM: Sorry to say, it's just a Nile monitor. But it still looks good, doesn't it? I'll be back with pics soon...

OK, we exit the Paleozoic section and turn to the Mesozoic...

Here we have a flock of Ornithomimus... (Yeah, there's only one in the photo though)
Ornithomimus (http://s165.photobucket.com/albums/u60/Fennec_Nichov/Prehistozoo/?action=view&current=Ornithomimus.jpg)
These quick omnivores share their space in the wild with the mighty Tyrannosaurus, so they've gotta be speedy!

There's also birds here -- take a look at the giant flightless seabird Hesperornis!
Hesperornis (http://s165.photobucket.com/albums/u60/Fennec_Nichov/Prehistozoo/?action=view&current=Hesperornis.jpg)

PS: Is there a way to make the title of the picture (eg: Hesperornis) appear on my first post? 'Cause I always have to edit it again to make the title show.

Post by: Fennec Nichov on February 27, 2007, 10:28:21 PM: And the Deinosuchus Pond! Home to a pair of the second largest, if not the largest, crocodiles in history!

Post by: Chimpinater on February 27, 2007, 11:23:29 PM: Bravo Fennec Nichov! Are you going to just use non-user animals because that will be cool :clap: :clap:

(Off Topic again :rofl2: you should check your pms)
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: Fennec Nichov on February 27, 2007, 11:25:33 PM: I will use some user animals but no prehistoric ones. (The Euparkeria was a user animal -- the eastern blue-tongued skink)

:offtopic: I didn't find anything in my PMs. Maybe you should try again.
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: Chimpinater on February 27, 2007, 11:55:23 PM: Oh O.k I just thought that you were going to be like pack rapter and only use official animals to make this story more interesting. :tele:.

:offtopic: Glad it got through! :loony:
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: Fennec Nichov on February 28, 2007, 12:06:57 AM: I use downloads, but I don't use prehistoric ones because
A. I don't want to, I don't have Dinosaur Danger and most user-made ones are flimsy (no offense to those that have made them, there just aren't any good enough models)
B. I don't have any!

Then... We came to an aviary! A sign on the door says: "Push only one door at a time to prevent the birds from escaping!" You push the door and in we go...

Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: Fennec Nichov on February 28, 2007, 01:00:01 AM: Screeches ring out as we enter. A long-tailed bird is standing in front of you. It's an... Archaeopteryx! The earliest bird!

Post by: Fennec Nichov on March 02, 2007, 01:27:03 AM: Thanks. I'll try to find time to post more soon.

PS: Aargh! Photobucket is under maintenance!
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: Chimpinater on March 02, 2007, 03:24:45 AM: Try Image Shack It works for me.
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: Fennec Nichov on March 02, 2007, 03:29:40 AM: Don't worry Photobucket is up now. I don't use Imageshack because it reportedly deletes your pictures after a while.
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: ZooLu on March 02, 2007, 12:42:54 PM: Erm... What about an Avimimus? If you accept, use the secretary bird or peafowl.
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: Cuddly Panda on March 02, 2007, 02:40:56 PM: Awesome! I love the avairy!

I see you're all set up and good now. (just so you know Fennec Nichov sent messages to me on Wikipedia, she was asking about ZA. :eleph:)

Just to let you know Fennec Nichov is a guy Cuddly Panda.
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: Fennec Nichov on March 03, 2007, 01:58:36 AM: Yeah, you're right Chimpinater. And ZooLu, sorry but I've already got my own ideas. Plus I've already used the peafowl and the secretary bird. Cuddly Panda, I like that aviary pic too!

As we exit the aviary, we come to a small terrarium with Callobatrachus. These frogs shared their habitat with China's feathered dinosaurs.

Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: Fennec Nichov on March 03, 2007, 02:09:34 AM: Next, we come to the Mesozoic Mammal Corner. Here is a shrew-like Morganucodon. This mammal is nocturnal and small, allowing it to hide from dinosaurs.
Morganucodon (http://s165.photobucket.com/albums/u60/Fennec_Nichov/Prehistozoo/?action=view&current=Morganucodon.jpg)

And here is a Didelphodon pen. These mammals are much bigger than Morganucodon, about the size of a badger. They were omnivorous, and especially liked dinosaur eggs. They even ate baby dinosaurs if they got the chance.
Didelphodon (http://s165.photobucket.com/albums/u60/Fennec_Nichov/Prehistozoo/?action=view&current=Didelphodon.jpg)
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: Fennec Nichov on March 03, 2007, 02:19:11 AM: As we exit the age of dinosaurs, you spy a free-roaming animal in the distance... an Argentavis. What on earth could be coming next...?

Post by: Chimpinater on March 03, 2007, 02:26:14 AM: You make me want to start my own zoo. Tommorow I will try it and if I do I will have my own version of Convexity . PS What model is that Didelphodon.
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: Fennec Nichov on March 03, 2007, 02:31:00 AM: Sounds cool! Can't wait! The Didelphodon are really ratels.

In front is a rainforest exhibit... What can be inside...?

Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: Fennec Nichov on March 03, 2007, 07:02:50 PM: You walk around and manage to see some animals...
A Godinotia, a primitive lemur-like primate...
Godinotia (http://s165.photobucket.com/albums/u60/Fennec_Nichov/Prehistozoo/?action=view&current=Godinotia.jpg)
An Eurotamandua, an early anteater...
Eurotamandua (http://s165.photobucket.com/albums/u60/Fennec_Nichov/Prehistozoo/?action=view&current=Eurotamandua.jpg)
And a small pool with a flock of Pesbyornis. These duck-like birds eat small animals in the water.
Pesbyornis (http://s165.photobucket.com/albums/u60/Fennec_Nichov/Prehistozoo/?action=view&current=Pesbyornis.jpg)
This is an Eocene jungle exhibit. We have a pair of Eurotamandua, a pair of Godinotia and a flock of Pesbyornis.
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: Fennec Nichov on March 03, 2007, 08:09:01 PM: We soon leave the Eocene jungle exhibit and continue on...
We come to a small pen with the ancestor of most carnivore mammals -- Miacis!
Miacis (http://s165.photobucket.com/albums/u60/Fennec_Nichov/Prehistozoo/?action=view&current=Miacis.jpg)
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: spiderdraco on March 03, 2007, 08:34:39 PM: Awesome, boy!!!
Those exhibits are reaaaally cool. I'm one of those that dont have DD, too; so i know how does it feel.
Anyway, incredible knowledge of prehistoric animals...you've mentioned a few ones that i even didn't know...and which animal is the Myacis?
It looks cool.
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: Fennec Nichov on March 03, 2007, 08:38:57 PM: It's a download raccoon. Anyways, thanks for the compliments.
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: spiderdraco on March 03, 2007, 10:09:47 PM: Thanks for the info, Fennec.
I will go in a search for that raccoon.
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: Fennec Nichov on March 03, 2007, 11:53:39 PM: The downloads are currently offline, but when it comes back search for design team biome pack: temperate forest pack.
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: Fennec Nichov on March 06, 2007, 06:36:27 AM: I've decided to post some more updates...

We leave the tiny Miacis exhibit and come a to a savannah exhibit. It's an exhibit with Phorusrhacos, or terror birds. These were the top predators in ice age South America until Smilodon arrived and forced them to become scavengers.
Phorusrhacos (http://s165.photobucket.com/albums/u60/Fennec_Nichov/Prehistozoo/?action=view¤t=Phorusrhacos.jpg) (sorry, there's something wrong with the picture)
They share this exhibit with Toxodon.

Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: ZooLu on March 06, 2007, 11:23:57 AM: :goodpost:BRAVO, BRAVO! I think the Toxodon would have been better as pygmy hippo.
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: Fennec Nichov on March 20, 2007, 02:19:14 AM: I know... but I have other plans for the pygmy hippopotamus...
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: dinofreak on March 20, 2007, 01:19:53 PM: let me guess.......Madigaskan Pgmy Hippo.could you do a baji and do a tour of a basilosaurus hall
Baji/ :dolphin
Basilosaurus Hall/Blue Whale hall
Dire Wolf/Wolf
Saber tooth/lion
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: Fennec Nichov on March 21, 2007, 03:03:52 AM: No, you're wrong... :wicked: And I don't have MM2... I might try the dire wolf and Smilodon if I have time though... Anyways...

We keep walking and we come to a wetland exhibit. You can see a pair of Moeritherium. These primitive water-loving Eocene elephants look and behave like tapirs. They sometimes wander along the swamps to the sea, so don't be surprised if you see a Moeritheirum in shallow seas!
Moeritherium (http://s165.photobucket.com/albums/u60/Fennec_Nichov/Prehistozoo/?action=view¤t=Moeritherium.jpg )
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: penguinman on March 21, 2007, 03:56:54 AM: Wow! This is really cool. I'm not normally a fan of extinct animals, but somehow I'm intrigued by this! It's just fun to see what creativity you use to make each one! Awesome! :)
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: Fennec Nichov on March 21, 2007, 04:06:26 AM: Thank you! And don't worry, I'm going to do other stuff after this zoo, so people that aren't big fans of paleontology can enjoy modern animals.
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: King Hoopla on March 21, 2007, 06:03:59 AM: Nice zoo! It's always interesting seeing how people use existing animals as something else.
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: Fennec Nichov on March 21, 2007, 06:05:29 AM: Yes, I had fun choosing what animals to feature and what animals to use them as.
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: Fennec Nichov on March 23, 2007, 02:58:08 AM: We keep going and come to an Oligocene scrub exhibit. Here you can see the rhinoceros-sized pig Entelodon.
Entelodon (http://s165.photobucket.com/albums/u60/Fennec_Nichov/Prehistozoo/?action=view¤t=Entelodon.jpg)

Suddenly, a huge animal comes over to the fence. The largest land mammal ever -- Indricotherium!

EDIT: OK, I fixed them
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: King Hoopla on March 23, 2007, 04:05:21 PM: You can make them one word, you just have to do it manually. When you add a link, it looks like this:
[ URL ]http://www.zooadmin.net[ /URL ]

Make it like this:
[ URL=http://www.zooadmin.net ]Put the words you want shown here [/URL ]

Hope that helps! Nice pics too.

Post by: Fennec Nichov on March 23, 2007, 06:48:18 PM: Thanks KH! That worked!
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: Fennec Nichov on March 23, 2007, 08:41:09 PM: Soon we're nearing the end of the zoo. A pair of Diprotodon, giant wombats, rest in their scrub exhibit.
Diprotodon (http://s165.photobucket.com/albums/u60/Fennec_Nichov/Prehistozoo/?action=view¤t=Diprotodon.jpg)

Nearby, their predator, the giant monitor lizard Megalania resides.
Megalania (http://s165.photobucket.com/albums/u60/Fennec_Nichov/Prehistozoo/?action=view¤t=Megalania.jpg)

OK everyone, that's all I have of this zoo, but look out for my next one! ;)

Post by: ZooLu on March 25, 2007, 02:48:07 AM: Is it a rainforest themed zoo?
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: beagleboy21 on March 25, 2007, 01:08:43 PM: how do you get the disks in without hands, without sracthing or slobbering on them? and where do you FIND these disks?
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: Seadragon on March 25, 2007, 05:16:34 PM: im reading this and installing CivCity Rome at the same time. CivCity Rome's music makes this sound even cooler. ;)
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: Fennec Nichov on March 26, 2007, 01:41:13 AM: OK, I hold the disks in my mouth, but only the boxes, not the disks themselves. I let them drop onto the disk drive, then I use my paws to ease them into the groove in the middle. I sometimes sneak onto planes to go to other countries and steal ZT2 disks... :wicked:

This isn't a thread for this, just PM me if you have anymore questions! OK, about the zoo, it will be up shortly, but my computer's sort of troubled so it may take a few days...
Title: Re: Fennec Nichov's Zoos
Post by: Fennec Nichov on March 29, 2007, 05:06:28 AM: Sorry for being such a slacker! Here's the next "zoo". Well, not really a zoo...

Here at FN's Animal Desperados Inn live the animal desperados. No, they don't steal! They're called animal desperados because they're desperate for publicity. Which means you won't find any tigers or lions or elephants here. Here are the animals that few people know... So, here's the entrance (http://s165.photobucket.com/albums/u60/Fennec_Nichov/Animal%20Desperados/?action=view¤t=Gate.jpg)
