Question About Easels

[Aussie Koala]

I was wondering ....once an animal paints a picture on the easel, do you need to replace the easel for another animal to be able to paint or will a blank page magically appear for them to paint on?

I've noticed that when they are done it will just go to blank again. I never replaced mine.

On a side note - you know what I think would be cool? If you could "sell" the painting that the animal creates. Some zoos actually do this. I would buy one.

Wishful thinking.....

that would a cool way to make some extra cash for your zoo ....especially since you can't sell the animals anymore

The African Lion Safari here in Ontario Canada does this with paintings done by one of the Asian Elephants and the money they raise goes to the preservation of the species. I't's a neat idea and probably would have made a fair amount of money for ZT Zoos as well. Maybe someone will figure out how a shop or souvenier booth could sell paintings and figure the programing so this could be done like we do with buildings in ZT 1.

Yah, It would be cool to sell the paintings. I have seen elephant paintings before, and zoos do sell them for quite a bit of $. It could earn some money in your zoo in ZT2 if you are going -$ (bankrupt  )

My easels never go blank, and the pic never changes. maybe they paint the same things and i dont notice, but i always replace mine.

on the topic of selling them, have your animals ever painted a real pic other than a bunch of lines/swishes. my gorillas painted a palm tree

I went back and watched my gorillas and yes, everytime a new gorilla went to use the easel the page went blank


My gorillas have painted a palm tree, but my chimps and elephants have only painted abstract paintings
