After visiting the the narwhal tank for some time we decide to move on the another exhibit. We walk around the tank wall and spot a narrow path hidden amongst the zoo's dense foliage.

As we near closer we see what appears to be some sort of covered viewing area with glass windows through which to see the animals.

Upon entering the structure we see a herd of white rhinos, the scrub exhibits massive inhabitants.

We get a view of three more from one of the side windows.

This one seems to be relaxing by the lake.

And a shot of the viewing area from inside the exhibit.

We exit the glass window viewing area and circle around the exhibit to find a second relaxing spot from which we can sit and watch the rhinos. Let's hope LadyZ doesn't mind my using a checkerboard path here.

Sorry for not posting any pictures for the last while but I've had a lot going on and playing Zoo Tycoon wasn't my top priority. However I've recently finished a new zoo and thought I might show some pictures.

I've called the zoo "Island Zoo" because... well it's got a bunch of islands scattered throughout the map (yeah I'm not very creative:lolol:). Unfortunately it didn't come out quite as I had hoped since the water area is divided up into numerous marine exhibits so it sort of lost the whole island look. Anyways here it is.

First the entrance. I'm happy with how it came out, it's not that decorated but it looks nice and peaceful.

As we keep walking we see a restaurant and bathroom tucked behind a fountain.
http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n2/sheltiefan_2006/Zoo%202/enlarged-64.jpg
To the left of the restaurant is an elevated path that offers a view of the land section of the sea lion/false killer whale exhibit.

And an overview of the entrance.

That's all I can show you for now. Hopefully I'll be able to post pictures of the underwater viewing are for the sea lion/false killer whale exhibit tomorrow.

I admire your pictures Sheltiefan, you just put in so much detail in to all of your work!

Rosinas Cat · « **Reply #37 on:** January 10, 2007, 10:04:41 PM »

Very nice pics, sheltiefan! I like the way you have different levels of elevation. I tend not to do that so much - I miss the 'steps' facility of zt1. :

:

Looking forward to seeing the underwater pics! :

mikaboshi · « **Reply #38 on:** January 10, 2007, 10:10:07 PM »

Oh, I have to agree wholeheartedly with Rosina! The elevation is spectacular!!! I'm glad you were able to post up some new pics for us; they were a treat!

Nique · « **Reply #39 on:** January 11, 2007, 04:48:48 AM »

Wow! Beautiful pictures! I agree with everyone else, the elevation you kept is marvelous! Unfortunately, one of the first things I usually do is flatten out everything so I can build where I want *Bad Nique*... lol... I must try keeping it more natural like you have done - it's sooo pretty! I'll be looking forward to new pictures when you get the opportunity!

Seraphii · « **Reply #40 on:** January 11, 2007, 08:36:15 AM »

Heading back towards the food court you notice an elevated path leading off to the right side of the zoo.
http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n2/sheltiefan_2006/Zoo%202/enlarged-84.jpg
and decide to see where it goes.
http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n2/sheltiefan_2006/Zoo%202/enlarged-83.jpg
After getting to the end of that path you come across yet another one.
http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n2/sheltiefan_2006/Zoo%202/enlarged-82.jpg
After crossing it you spot an exhibit filled with lively ibex. A big thanks to KK here for her wonderful ibex reskin

.
http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n2/sheltiefan_2006/Zoo%202/enlarged-81.jpg
And now some ibex shots. Here I was trying to take a pic of the female in the background but a second one decided to jump in and ruin the shot lol.
http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n2/sheltiefan_2006/Zoo%202/enlarged-80.jpg
And this time she looked away from the camera :pinch:.
