Now that I have some time to do so, I have decided to post some snapshots of some of the ZT2 animals I display in my zoos, plus adding some information...

The African Elephant (Loxodonta africana) grows throughout it's lifetime; a 50 year old bull is noticeably larger than a 20 year old.

In some regions, the American Beaver (Castor canadensis) is used to build dams to stop rivers flooding. To transport them, the beavers are taken by aeroplane and then parachuted down.

Oh, will you guys PLEASE get it out of your head that there is any such thing as a Canadian Beaver? There isn't. It is called the American Beaver, and Canadenesis IS it's latin name...in BOTH of my animal books.

it's true! i looked it up.

Ouch · « **Reply #7 on:** June 26, 2006, 02:56:23 PM »

In a Canadian book no doubt...that's biasey. It's American Beaver, Castor Canadenesis, and that's FINAL!

zoo_tycoon2 · « **Reply #8 on:** June 26, 2006, 03:44:12 PM »

It even says American Beaver in the zoopedia, and says Castor Canadenesis for the latin name...

Things dont always have to make complete sense in the animal kingdom:laughing:

:sign_alri There ARE Canadian Beavers,and that is a fact. I've seen a few around here(Canada).But believe what you want to believe,i'm just telling you the truth. But lets drop this before a mod comes or w/e.

Howling Shadow Wolf is right--we don't want this to become a shouting match. There may be a difference of opinion, and the zoopedia has been known to be incorrect at times. Let's just remember that no matter what the animals' latin name is, in our ZT world it can live anywhere we put it-just as long as we properly care for it.

No you're not, you're being brainwashed. It's American Beaver, and you're just calling it Canadian because you are. Sorry to bring it up, but it's the truth. There's only Eurasian or American.

End this now.

and you are not helping by continuing the debate after being asked by a mod to stop. if you both keep this up you will both be on mod preview

i like the elephant pic, and sorry if this is carrying on but an animal can live in more thasn 1 country , e.g egyption fruit bats live al over thep place not just in egypt (just an outsiders opinion)

again cool pics:specool:

PLEASE DO NOT KEEP ON

OK, I don't know about you guys, but I'm quitting whilst I'm ahead.

Of the six remaining tiger subspecies, the Bengal Tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) is the commonest, but even that isn't saying much, as there may be less than 2000 remaining in India.

nice pic, Ouch.:original: :original: :original:

A group of Black Rhinoceros' (Diceros bicornis)...or any rhino for that matter...is collectively known as a "crash"

orangemonkey22 · « **Reply #16 on:** June 29, 2006, 10:38:13 AM »

nice rhino pic, although there's only 2 rhinos in that pic. If you had a pic of a group (or "crash") of rhinos, it might make a little more sense. Just saying.

Ouch · « **Reply #17 on:** June 29, 2006, 10:57:36 AM »

They're just totally random facts, the pictures have no influence of anything. I take the pictures first, then the facts.

orangemonkey22 · « **Reply #18 on:** June 29, 2006, 04:53:31 PM »

oh, ok, I didn't quite know the process.

steven90 · « **Reply #19 on:** June 30, 2006, 12:14:57 AM »

After the lion, the Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is the most social cat, with related males staying in bachelor groups for several years.

WOW, I honestly didn't know that. I thought lions were the only social cat.
