Ok first off, the entrance. This zoo may be a bit messy as I'm still messing around with all the features and such.  :erm

You start off surrounded by many trees, and ascend an elevated path...

Great job Bengal.
The balloons serve to purposes. You can sell them for cash, or place them along the path and tours as a reminder to the guest of your zoo and its accomplishments. It adds a happiness value, like statuary and fountains.

Panda- Well at first I had a stone path, but I went over it with a wooden one. Maybe that's why  :lol

Koala - I think the bear got attacked by the other male in the enclosure

Wolfclan - Thanks much! But I have to say that Zoohio is my idol

Thanks!! Unfortunately..(dun dun dun) my computer, (as you all know this happens quite frequently) crashed today so I had to reformat. The zoo got erased  :( I plan on starting another one tonight. Pics will be up later  ;)

Thanks everyone..I've done a bit more building, deciding to start with an alpine section. I still have a bit of decorating to do around it, but here goes.

A look at the path leading to the first exhibit, along with the photo kiosk and a bit of landscaping around it

Well I was working on a zoo and was going to finish it before I gave the tour, but I had some spacing issues  :lol So I am starting a new zoo, and I'm still trying to decide how I will theme it. It will either go as:

Big Cat Country
Bear Cliff
Giants of Africa
Canine Mountain
The Savannah

or it will be themed by biomes. Anyway, I'll give you a look at the entrance while I'm deciding on the themes.  ;)

Entrance walkway:

Looks Good! I think that you should make the zoo sa in the first one, with the cats and the giants, and the habel-baibel-maven! I dont know why i put that! but ithink you shouldnot do the zoo in the biome organization. But it looks REALLY good so far!!!

Title: Bengal's Zt 2 Zoos
Post by: Bengal on November 13, 2005, 07:37:37 AM

Thanks Springfield Elephant. I have decided to go with these themes:

Big Cat Country
Bear Mountain
Canine Cliff
The Savannah
Rainforest Trek
Simple Ape
Arctic Wonders
Riverside Journey

Hopefully everything fits.  :>< If not Riverside Journey and Simply Ape will most likely be eliminated. I'm going to build the whole zoo before I post any pictures, but here are just a few of the beginning of Big Cat Country.

Turning to the left of the entrance, you see a beautiful Tiger fountain. This is the mark of the entry of the future Big Cat Country which will include mighty BengalTigers, elusive Florida Panthas, among many other cats.

Before entering the big cat's domain, you should grab a bite to eat. Make sure to wash your hands, you don't want the cats to get a whiff of your lunch..it might make them hungry  ;)

Bengal, your pics are awesome!  I love all the foliage and the angles from which you take your pictures!  :)

I have one question - in the first zoo in here, over the wetlands exhibit, it looks like there's a pool or something on the elevated path.  How did you make it look like that?  Is that the splash fountain?  It looks like it has rails and it has foliage in it.   :huh

I'm trying to leave out some animals so I will have enough room for all the biomes  :>< It's hard though! I love all the animals and never want to leave them out!  :lol
