Hi, everyone. This will be my first EVER show and tell and I hope you like my zoo.

Here is the main gate. (This is a 4 1/2 star zoo!:happy: )
This is what the main walkway looks like.
This is my tribute to the zoo's conservation.
Here I am at the guest area entrance.
Here is an inside view of the guest area.
Ahh, that great safari area smell!:happy:

Does anyone know how to make that black bar go away?:happy:

Here are some of the spiecies of fauna found in my zoo.

African elephant.(This is Koala Komander's reskin by the way! To get it and her other reskins, click on Zoomania on my signature!:happy: )
Reticulated giraffe.(Again, this is KK's reskin!)
Common wildebeest, Masai giraffe, Giant sable antelope, and a common zebra.
Ostrich.
A better pic of a Masai giraffe.
A common zebra with a baby.
Two Giant sable antelopes.(A male and female!)
A black rhinoceos.(Once again, KK's rekin!:happy: )
A male Thompson's gazelle.(Guess what? this is AIM'S reskin!:happy: )

I apologize if the photos are lousy to you. I put some hills in the exhibit to make it look natural.
These are the animals in the Safari Area. I have more animals, and I'll post pics of them tomorrow! Until then... MWHAHAHA!:badgnome:

Hi everyone! I'm really sorry that I haven't posted in a while, but at least I have more pictures!

Here is the male Tyrannosaurus rex, who I humorously named, "Big Papa Smurf".
This is a better picture of the African elphant.
Another better picture, but of the Reticulated giraffe.

I'll have more pics later!:happy:  Just hang on ,OK?

I would like to see how your guest areas look, Seraphii. I promise I won't make some wise-crack up. Cross my heart, hope to die!:happy:

Hi, everyone! I'm back with more pics!:happy:

A male Triceratops, an extinct animal that once roamed North America 67 million years ago.

My stupid Photobucket is so SCREWED UP!!!!:angry:
No matter what picture I send in, it always comes out as a beaver or a beaver lodge, which is NOT what I took pictures of! INFURIATING!!!:angry: :angry:

I guess I'll try again tommorrow.*sigh*:pinch:

I'm back everyone! I'm sorry this took a while but I've had other things to do lately. Here are more photos like I promised. And thanks for the tip, KK! Sice I happen to know so much about animals, I'll put in facts about the animals I take pictures of as well, which is new for me.

  • We see here a female Triceratops, an animal to which I belive forms herds of mixed sexes. There are fewer males but they all pitch in to defend thier young like how muskoxen do.

  • The meerkat is a social species of mongoose that live in groups of 20 or more.

  • Gemsbok are antelope that have long, straitward pointing horns, unique to the oryx family.

  • The gerenuk is a gezelle that's also called the giraffe-gazelle". The gerenuk is unique because it can reach leaves where only other gazelle can hope to reach. To help it browse, it also stands on it's hind legs to reach leaves higher than another similar-sized animal would.

  • The white rhinoceros is the most common species of rhinoceros thanks to conservation efforts. It's also the least aggresive of the five species of rhino.
I'll get more pics later!:happy:
Oh, and congradulations on winning the Zoo Tycoon Cluedo contest, Red Panda Twins!:happy:

I'm really sorry I haven't posted back in a while. Because of school starting like 2 weeks ago, it's been hard for me to post here and get mew pics. Anyway here are 4 more pics.

  • The aardvark is an insectivore from Africa. Although it has no teeth, it has a 2 ft. long tounge to catch ants and termites.

  • Warthogs don't really have warts. Those "warts" are just bumps of bone possibly used as self defense when fighting with other warthogs.

  • Out of all 23 species of crocodilian, the Nile and saltwater crocodile are the only two species that are classified as "man-killers".(This is the original skin before I got KK's reskin!)

  • The male Emperor penguin is one of nature's most dedicated fathers. He won't eat for 120 days to warm a single egg laid by the female.
More pics later!:happy:
