I've decided to start an S&T thread to show off some of my zoos. I'm not the best zoo builder so don't be surprised if my pics aren't that spectacular:blushing:. I'll try to add updates every couple of days but there are no guarantees.

I've been working on a zoo for some time now, it doesn't have a name because... well I couldn't think of one lol. To start off here we have the entrance

and an overview of it
http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n2/sheltiefan_2006/Zoo%202/enlarged-2.jpg
Up ahead we spot the zoos first exhibit

As we near closer we see it's filled with a group of asiatic black bears. This one appears to be a bit drowsy

And still more bears

There also seem to be a couple of cubs in the exhibit. Aren't they adorable

not a good zoo builder? i think your wrong lol?
thats a good start to a zoo IMO(in my option)
if it were my zoo though i would make it alittle more hilly. but thats just me iv grown up around alot of hills and mountins so for some reason i make my zoos look like where i live.

Sheltiefan, these pics are great! No more false modesty, please! I love the asiatic black bear - great first choice!

Keep up the good work!:

Well I live in a very mountainous area and have my whole life. But I generally like to keep the guest areas in my zoo very flat, I do however like to use a lot of hills in my exhibits. I guess it's just a matter of personal preference.

And thanks for all the great comments everyone

Sorry for not posting mere pics yesterday but between christmas shopping and homework I was quite busy.

So as promised here are the pics of the primate house. I know it looks pretty bad, I'm not very happy with how it turned out. I'll post half of the pics for it today and half tomorrow.

We approach the looming structure and walk inside.

A better view from the back of one of the halls.
http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n2/sheltiefan_2006/Zoo%202/enlarged-24.jpg
There is a path heading to the right from which we can see the gorillas, barbary apes and geladas and another path to the left that has orangutans and crested gibbons. We decide to head right. The first exhibit we come across is the gorillas.

continuing down the path we come across the barbary ape exhibit.

Here's one of them now.

We now walk up the elevated path...
http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n2/sheltiefan_2006/Zoo%202/enlarged-29.jpg
to get a look at the geladas.

I'll put up pics of the left side of the primate house tomorrow or the day after.
