Although the Emperor Penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) is the largest penguin alive today, the fossil records contain a penguin that was over twice as large.

nice job, Ouch! I honestly did not know that penguin fact.

Me neither! I love seeing the facts with the pictures! Keep it up!

The largest and most common of the oryx species, the Gemsbok (Oryx gazella) needs to get to a body temperature of 45 degrees C (113 degrees F) before it starts panting/sweating...a handy way to save moisture.

Giant Pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) don't eat every kind of bamboo. Whilst there may be about 12 species of bamboo growing in a panda's territory, it may only eat two of these, before heading off to find somewhere else to feed. As the old saying goes, "He eats, shoots and leaves."

BTW, my plan is to do all the animals from the original ZT2, then all the animals from ES, then AA, then MM, before saving the downloadable animals for last, to give the (wonderfully clever) staff of BF to bring us more surprises. Look out for another project I may also do.

P.S. If you're wondering, all the animals from the pictures taken so far are from the same zoo. I really did build a zoo with all 30 original animals in it. Then I repeated it for ES and AA. MM2 will follow suit.

Very interesting facts. I never knew that.

orangemonkey22 · « **Reply #57 on:** October 03, 2006, 03:52:00 PM »

very interesting fact, Ouch. I'm really excited for all your animal files! And what are some of the download animals that you're considering doing animal files on?

Ethiopian Wolf · « **Reply #58 on:** October 03, 2006, 04:42:50 PM »

I can't wait to see the MM2 animals featured!

Oh, they'll just be all the official animals. Possibly the Dino Danger ones as well. Nothing fancy.

oh, ok, I thought you meant user downloads.

Ouch · « **Reply #63 on:** October 22, 2006, 10:00:39 AM »

OK, I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to have this closed for a little while.

Why? Paint, the program I use to edit my pictures, has vanished from my desktop and I have no idea how to get it back.

Can a moderator please lock this for the time being?

Yellowrose · « **Reply #64 on:** October 25, 2006, 04:49:43 AM »

Closed at Ouch's request

Yellowrose · « **Reply #65 on:** October 31, 2006, 09:20:43 AM »

Ouch has remedied his disfficulties and the thread is now open for him to continue.

Ouch · « **Reply #66 on:** November 04, 2006, 06:52:14 AM »

Well, I managed to get Dino Danger successfully installed, so there will be pictures relating to it in the near future. I'll see if I can post a picture later tonight.

Ouch · « **Reply #67 on:** November 05, 2006, 08:53:19 AM »

OK, so it's a little later than I promised, but I do have something for you.

Greater Flamingos (Phoenicopterus ruber) found in the New World (the Americas) are generally much redder in colour than those found in the Old World.

orangemonkey22 · « **Reply #68 on:** November 05, 2006, 02:03:48 PM »

nice fact and pic, Ouch. I always love looking at this thread.

Ouch · « **Reply #69 on:** November 11, 2006, 04:26:39 AM »

The Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) gets its name not from its supposed temper, but from its fur, which is paler (or grizzled) at the tip.

Ouch · « **Reply #70 on:** November 20, 2006, 01:44:18 PM »

A Hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibus) can flip its mouth through 180 degrees.

(NOTE: I did want to take a picture of a Hippo yawning, but I needed to grab a picture that wasn't intruded by the keeper or a emoticon. The second I took the picture...it yawned!)

Kasatkasnumber1fan · « **Reply #71 on:** November 20, 2006, 05:55:41 PM »

Wonderful facts! :original: I also enjoy the wonderful pictures!

An old myth says that the Ibex (Capra ibex) had a completely rigid spine, thus preventing it from looking back. If threatened, it would simply jump. Of course, this picture clearly shows this not to be true.

you should be able to turn off the little smiley faces if they get too bothersome.... i believe it's in the pop up menu all the way on the left hand side. also, if you get a great pic but need help erasing zoo keepers or faces or guests out, let me know, I'm good at that in photoshop (lol, i erase stupid people from my vacation picture backgrounds, :original: )

ghost · « **Reply #74 on:** December 03, 2006, 01:02:55 PM »
