I'll join in and post some pictures from my zoo! I've only been playing for a couple days, so most of my stuff is experimental. Tell me what you think!

On a side note, does anyone know how to access the pictures taken in the game with the game camera? So far all I've done is screenshots, but I only took photographs off my white female Bengal tiger and I'd really like to post them. I was so suprised when she came out white! Sooooo beautiful... Anywho..

The front of my zoo. I wanted it to look pretty. The front exhibit is my pygmy hippos!

Overview of the Bengal Tiger exhibit with the raised path. It's connected with the Pygmy Hippo exhibit, but I've had only a couple problems with the tigers climbing around the cliffs. I'm still working out an aesthetical solution to this...

The Safari exhibit- Giraffes on one side of the cliff/sidewalk and zebras, gazelles, wildebeest, and sable antelope on the other.

Emperor Penguin exhibit- I love this one. Most of them are swimming in that pic, but I have a million of them. I LOVE the baby penguins!! I have cute shots of them, but I need to get them out of the photo album first..

Polar Bear exhibit- I love polar bears...just ask my boyfriend LOL I love their exhibit a lot. The big fatties are swimming right now, but usually they roll around on the snow or lay atop the floating icebergs hehe

Community baths! I have a million pics of my Asian elephants. They are really entertaining.

Przewalski's horses- I'm pretty sure there are more in my zoo than there are in the whole world LOL This pic is only about half of them. They decided to flock over here for a minute so I thought I'd take a pic.

As you enter my zoo...

Thanks so much guys!! I love designing the most in ZT so I have so much fun doing it all :) And I looove making waterfalls. I try not to overdo it. All the new features are so cool and so much fun. But I'm one of those people who only design in games and don't really play it...Like the Sims. I don't play the Sims I just design houses LOL

A HUGE thanks to Rosina's Cat for help on getting my photos out of ZT! : :) :

Here are some new pics!! I'm working on an African Safari right now so I will add those pics later.

My white tiger feeding one of her cubs. She isn't a download, since I can't get those to work.

Happy tiger family!

Thanks a ton!!

And thanks again for the link to the download help, Rosina :) I had to use the alternative method to get mine to work. Haha that figures...Things always have to end up difficult for me! lol

But now that I can download things, I'm working on a park of all just horses.

Okay, well here's some shots from my experimental safari zoo that actually came out very successful! It's a really fun zoo. I love riding in the Jeeps LOL

March of the Jeeps- I soon discovered that the bridge over the water was an insanely horrible idea when I quickly found out that rhinos like to hang out on top of them. That was obnoxious, so I took out the bridge.

Neat view of the park out of the Jeep

Tire love and pretty sunset

OMG I love the Lioness/Tire/Sunset Pic. One of my favorite things about ZT2 is the varied sunsets that you get, and you captured my favorite one :wub:

The Savannah Cliff is called the Kopje, and it comes with African Adventures.

Thanks so much! Yep, that's the Kopje : :) :

I didn't realize how pretty the sunsets were in the game until I saw that and it just blew me away. It's so nice that the programmers would take such care into detail.

I love discovering new little things here and there!

Thank you!! : :) : I looove horses haha. My screen name is actually one of my horse's shownames. My 2 year old filly, actually. She's a snotty little brat but I love her. Anywho, in that zoo, I actually have several exhibits with herds of different species. There are the Przewalski horses, miniature horses, camarge horses, and a unicorn pair! The whole zoo is full of horses and a drive-through one. I would kill to go through a real one like that LOL (I'm crazy, yes...)

And yes, they are all white tigers. The male's name is Andreios and the female is Zahara. And their cubs are white. I get really lucky with the Bengals! My very first female Bengal was white (her mate was normal).

As for the wild horse, yep, I downloaded a couple different variant packs from this website. Great re-skins!!
