Right, this took ages to make because it is quite detailed and there is symmetry so that is always harder. This is Bengal Tiger Valley. I got the idea from my local zoo (Whipsnade Wild Animal Park) tiger enclosure. There is the exhibit at ground level with a hill at the back where you can go up and see the tigers from a different view. I was going to do just one at the back but then I thought it would be good to have one at the front and one at the back, then I added elevated paths over the exhibit so that you can see it easier. Here it is, Bengal Tiger Valley!

More Bengal Tiger pics, this time from the elevated path and hill.

Last Bengal Tiger pic from inside the exhibit.

Ready for a request.

nice tiger exhibit!

Anyways, how about some meerkats?

zookeeper601 · « **Reply #29 on:** February 14, 2007, 04:31:15 AM »

Thanks!

Meerkats it is, I'll try to get them today.

And after that, some Asian Elephants?

zookeeper601 · « **Reply #31 on:** February 14, 2007, 09:02:08 AM »

Yeah, sure. I'll try to get the Meerkats done today and then Asian Elephants maybe today or tomorrow night.

Here we go then, Meerkat Trench. This took AGES because all of the dips had to be made plus I had to vegitate the exhibit myself otherwise big rocks and trees would spoil the levels. I struggled to think of an exhibit idea for the Meerkats but suddenly thought of a trench since they use burrows. I'm very proud of this exhibit, lots of effort made it so hopefully you'll like it, especially orangemonkey22 since you requested them

So without any further hold-ups, here's Meerkat Trench!

Could I use them as soon as I get my game back? Can I request Lions?
Thanks

What do you mean by 'Could I use them?', do you mean if you can use the trench idea? If so, then of course!

Thanks, like I said, I struggled to think of an idea, certain biomes and certain animals are easier to think of good ideas for than others, but then the trench idea came to me. Originally I was going to do just little hills but then it evolved into the trench idea, glad you like it!

P.s. I've added Lions to my list! I'll mull over ideas while trying to go to sleep, that's what I did with the Gemsbok.

Wow, these zoos are unbelievable!! :bounce: You do a very good job at these, and you certainly have alot more patience at building zoos than I do.

If i may request, what about a nile crocodlile exhibit?

sheltiefan · « **Reply #37 on:** February 14, 2007, 04:05:42 PM »

Wow you have some very unique ideas. I love the meerkat exhibit, very creative.

ShenTirag · « **Reply #38 on:** February 14, 2007, 04:14:38 PM »

The meerkat exhibit is pretty funky - what a unique idea!

zookeeper601 · « **Reply #39 on:** February 15, 2007, 02:34:01 AM »

Here we are, Asian Elephant Podiums. I thought of this idea this morning in bed. I thought 'Wouldn't it be cool if there was a podium sticking out from the exhibit so that the elephants could go out onto it and guests could see them close up'. Then I thought, 'I could put food on there so that they have to go onto the podiums'. The podiums were a bit hard but not too bad, so here's a pic. More later

You have really unique ideas for your exhibits! I love to see how everyone stretches their imaginations to give the guests and animals what they want! I have to say though, the trench idea for the meerkats is really cool!

orangemonkey22 · « **Reply #41 on:** February 15, 2007, 05:46:19 AM »

WOW, now that's

Any plans of releasing this zoo when you're done?

ghost · « **Reply #42 on:** February 15, 2007, 08:15:37 AM »

wow great ideas nevr thinked about those things

LionPride · « **Reply #43 on:** February 15, 2007, 08:44:58 AM »

Yes I did mean the trench idea. Nice idea with the Asian Elephant

zookeeper601 · « **Reply #44 on:** February 15, 2007, 12:13:52 PM »

Thanks everyone for your kind words!

Unfortunately, all of my exhibits are in different zoos as my laptop will not let me have over about 5 exhibits at once. Maybe I could add another one or two to the meerkat zoo since the trench is so popular, then put it up and let others build around those three. What do you think?

Remember, all of these ideas are fine for anyone to use, I'd love to see any exhibits you make using them though!

Maybe I could do a series of zoos with about 3 exhibits in each, just exhibits (nothing else) then put them all up. That way, my comp would be able to handle it, plus any hard ideas would be already there.

Tell me what you think, should I put some of these up?

sounds good. Although I was just asking.

zookeeper601 · « **Reply #47 on:** February 15, 2007, 05:04:06 PM »

Okay, maybe I will, what exhibits from the current choice would you like to be added to the Meerkats if I did make a Trio Exhibit Pack?

Or, what combo of current exhibits would be the best in your opinion?

zookeeper601 · « **Reply #48 on:** February 16, 2007, 01:36:48 AM »

I'll get some more Asian Elephant pics now.

By the way, the podium idea is universal, you can use it with any animal you want, just stick that bit out, raise and smooth it then put food at the end so that animals have to go onto it to get food. If you want your guests to see a Fennec Fox feeding close up, just add a podium and they'll enjoy it.

Such a cute picture, the Elephants sleeping! Plus one from in the exhibit. After that, onto the Lions.

Nice Asian elephant pics! The first one is adorable
