Here are some pics for my new zoo.

Let's enter the zoo for some super-duper fun!
Here's a guest's-eye view of the peafolw exhibit.
Here's a pic of one of the male peafowl. I'll get a pic of one showing it's tail feathers later.(The tail can be up to 8 feet wide when expanded!)
Here's a good view of the California sea lion exhibit.
Now, a view of the exhibit on an elevated path.
Here's one of the sea lions now. Did you know these animals are never no more than 10 miles away from the sea?
Oh, looks like a show'sstarting!
Better grab a seat in the sea lion show grandstand.

More pics tommorow!:happy:
EDIT: I fixed the image links. Hope you guys enjoy!:happy:

I love your pictures and your animals! What a bummer! You guys are lucky. I don't AA or DD, but I do have MM and ES. I really want the conservation bredding center!:crying: Again, I love your zoo!:specool:

I meant that as in sea lions in the wild.

But thank you for your compliments, you guys!(No offense if any of you here are a girl!)
Now, I need some help. I'd like to know how to take pictures like this in ZT2. If anyone knows how to do this, please post it here or PM me on how to do it. Thanks!:happy:
(The picture's not my own, but it's just an example of what I'm talking about.)

For that you need to get the "Zoo Zoom Camera Hack for MM" by Jarzzai. You can find it here:

Well, I have that, but that's not what I meant. I mean how do you take pictures in aireal mode like that?

sheltiefan · « **Reply #31 on:** January 04, 2007, 02:20:14 PM »

Oh lol sorry. Okay so what you need to do is first find the Print Screen button on your keyboard. It should be to the right of the F12 key. Now simply zoom out to where you want to take the picture of and press the Print Screen button. Then you go into MS Paint and select paste from the edit list and there's your picture.

Great pics african_elephant_2006!!!

african_elephant_2006 · « **Reply #33 on:** January 04, 2007, 02:51:44 PM »

Thanks, sheltiefan! It worked! Thank you VERY much!

Now I can show you the discovery area of the zoo.

More animal pics later!:happy:

african_elephant_2006 · « **Reply #34 on:** January 04, 2007, 04:10:52 PM »

Here are more pics from yours truley.

Now it's time to visit the guest area(pic 1, pic 2, pic 3.)
Now, we'll skip ahead to the Galapagos tortoise area. The tortoise's shell is very strong, beintg able to support over 200 times it's body weight. That's like having two African elephants standing on your head!
Here's the Komodo dragon, the largest lizard in the world. These scaley giants can grow up to 10 feet long and has an average weight of 155lbs.
The Asian elephant's molar teeth are very much like the wooly mammoth's, suggesting that thety are closely related. Contrary to popular belief, females have tusks, but they're called "tushes" and they don't get any longer than an inch long.
The phrase, an elephant never forgets is very close to the truth. Records show that a mother and daughter elephant that were reunited immediatly reconized each other even though they haven't seen each other in over 23 years!
The giraffe is crowned as the tallest land animal, at up to 19 ft. high at head height. Amazingly, giraffes have only 7 neck vertebrae, just like all mammals, but the difference is that thier's can be up to 7 inches long, with a combined length of up to 6 ft.!
And finally for today, a view of the koi pond.

There'll be more tommorow!:happy:

EDIT: There are new pictures of the Asian elephants!

That is a great shot of your koi pond! (I've always wanted one of those in real life hehe) I love your guest area too! Really well-done.

I don't want to change the topic, but how do you post pictures on Zoo Admin?

african_elephant_2006 · « **Reply #37 on:** January 04, 2007, 05:26:56 PM »

Here's the rules on image posting. I really hope this helps!:happy:

african_elephant_2006 · « **Reply #38 on:** January 06, 2007, 04:47:57 PM »

Sorry it took a while, but I have more pics for you guys!

Here we are at the Reptile House.
The Nile monitor lays it's eggs in termite mounds when the rainy season and the hatchlings have to dig thier way out when the rain softens the earth.
The African spurred, or sulcata tortoise is the third largest tortoise in the world. since it lives in the desert, it's water supply comes from it's food, so it never drinks.
Believe it or not, but a 1/2 ton crocodile sitting in the sun all day long uses the same amount of energy as a sparrow!
The rare and elusive giant panda has stronger jaws than a polar bear because of it's tough bamboo diet.
The red panda, or fire cat, may have the word "panda" in it's name, but it's actually more closely related to the racconn family than its much larger counterpart.
Here are some pics of our latest bundles of joy, 3 brand new baby elephants!!(Terrance, Mac, & little Matilda!)
Looks like another show is starting!

I'll have more pics later this weekend or next week!:happy:

nice reptile house! i also like the discovery area!

african_elephant_2006 · « **Reply #40 on:** January 08, 2007, 02:27:40 PM »

Thanks for the complements, everyone! I'll have more pics soon!

african_elephant_2006 · « **Reply #41 on:** January 11, 2007, 12:15:41 PM »

Sorry for the long wait, but here are some more pics as promised.

The Scimitar horned oryx is so rare that you cannot find it outside of a zoo in the wild.
Gemsbok are antelope that really love the shade of a tree. Herds can stay under a tree for 4-5 hours a day.
A zebra's stripes are like your fingerprint- no two have the exact same pattern! (Also in the pic are some Thompon's gazelle and some giant sable antelope.)
The ostrich is the fastest thing on two legs. It can run at 50 miles per hour and can keep this up as far as 20 miles!
The addax has herds of only 2-4 members because of its rarity.
Dromedary camels actually store fat in thier humps, not water. They can actually survive for two weeks because of the fat stored in the hump.

Overall, here's what the zoo looks like. To help me get more pics for this topic, I'd like some requests as to what kinds of critter's you'd like to see in my zoo. I'd preffer official animals over user-made animals. So if you have a request, post it here! I'll read it so I can get your ideas.

And thanks to everyone who comes to visit this topic. I really appreciate it.

That overview looks really nice Africa_elephant! May you comment me back?

Great job again!

Pic 1
Pic 2
Pic 3

Any idea what that zookeeper is holding? I caught this and tought that I should show you.

Jaguar · « **Reply #44 on:** January 15, 2007, 02:51:40 PM »

Thanks for the comment on my thread!

The pics look really nice, I think the zookeeper is holding something that they use to clean the tanks with, i'm not 100% sure though.
