Wow, Artemis, you did a fantastic job not only of keeping the zoo, but an excellent job of reporting! (Are you, by any chance, an accountant??) :lol  I cannot wait to do the Fennecs!!

Yes! Crookshanks and Artemis both had incredible things to show! I'm afraid my exhibit may lower the qualitiy of the zoo... :bag. Oh well, can't wait!  :)

Unfortunately, no, Pauline is gone. I must have missed her message in the flood of births and whatnot. :(

Zoohio: Oops, I think you read the list wrong. ;) There were no Giraffes born, but one female did die. They ended up being without a male altogether, so I adopted one and now both females are pregnant!

Csleesburg: An accountant? Goodness me, no, I'm just organized. :P

Okay, here we go: As of May, Year 3, the admissions proceeds are $10,420 and the donations are $256,225! The zoo is now 5 stars!

I went back in to check the finances and name my Gibbons. During the few minutes it took, we got two new Lemur babies, a Koala baby, and one unnamed female Red Panda died. I adopted the male Giraffe and the two female were soon pregnant.

Oh! I forgot to post what the gibbons represent! Their curious habit of holding up their arms for balance will help the hurricane victims in their quest for balance and stability in their new and confusing lives.

I'll zip the zoo and send it back to Zoohio in a couple of hours -- I've got to turn on my mom's laptop (the only computer with XP to zip things) and it's a whole fol-de-rol, so patiently we must wait. :)

Edit: And I've sent the zoo on its merry way, so good luck to everyone in building their exhibits. ^^ Be kind to my Gibbons, eh?

OK folks, I have updated the first page listing!

Admission $10,420
Donations $256,225
                          _____________
Total        $266,645

This total may change as it is supposed to be half the admission and other sales total! Please watch for the update!!!!

We are now at Five Stars and there is room for more. I will contact the next person on the list and wait for the map to come back to me.
Excellent job Artemis with all the updates, and to everyone envolved! :approve

Not sure if I'm too late or not, but could I do a Grey Wolf and Wolverine exhibit? Symbolizing a fierce recovery?

So sorry folks, I had completely let this slip by. If that happens again, send me a personal message and remind. Zoohio has been very preoccupied with his house lately.

Holidayrythym  was unable to open the map. So will connect with the next person on the list.

I finished! The zoo is so large that I had to keep it paused most of the time, so there aren't many updates to give, sorry! (Click the pictures to expand)

First, to reach the markhor exhibit the guests will have to hike up a small hill. This is representative of the trials that the people have gone through.


At the top is a nice guest viewing area including a small food court for the hungry guests.


The markhors have the names Mary, Maddie, Mark and Matt. They also represent the struggles of the people as well as their perserverence living in harsh conditions.


Here is the exhibit from the guest perspective. You can see how it slopes down from the viewing area to the normal ground height.


Finally, here is the overhead and I hope you like my exhibit!

:wtg Excellent job! And great photos!

I am afraid we are quickly running out of room here! I will contact the next person. I hope they can find some space for their animals.

Ya, I think there may be enough space on the right. It will just have to be a sort of long and skinny exhibit, sorry CS!

Well, zoohio, it's ME and I was just looking at the lack of space! Luckily for me, I picked the Fennecs, who are small and fit in a small space. They are also symbolic of those who have to just fit in where they can find. Send it along, I'm ready for 'em! :)

The map is moving and csleesburg should get it any moment.

I hope there is room, if not, the map will be submitted for download.

I am sad to report from csleesburg that the zoo is in financial trouble.

When she opened the map, there were several complaints that animals were needing water or dieing, but the zoo cash is -$500,000.
She did what she could by selling buildings and such, but the animals were aging and there is no money to replace them.
Sadly enough, even with all her attempts, she could not raise enough money to put the fennec fox on the map.

I will look at it briefly and see what can be done at the moment and then decide if this should be submitted for download.

Any advice would greatly be appreciated. If you look at the last map that penguinman sent in, you will be able to see the layout.

PLEASE HELP :sad

:sad You could try and sell all trees except for the ones in animal exhibits that need them. As long as they have some plants and the correct ground cover it doesn't really matter about trees. Raise entrance price and remaining buildings' prices as well. :wtg  :wtg
