Fountain's Aussie-like zoo

Thanks everybody!

 

I have a question about the bridges that can be used as shelters; any screenshots of zoos that use that? I did not notice where that was being used.

Here is the elephant exhibit using the bridge shelters. I guess it looks OK and the elevation needed for aesthetics does not upset the elephants. I did put bridge shelter on both sides & keepers advice is "There are more shelters than necessary in this exhibit."

More to come when I figure it out.

Such a beautiful zoo, and the entrance is fabulous. I love the expansive exhibits.

Love the look of the bridge shelter in the exhibit! I really need to try those out sometime!

I am moving the NZ sea lions to another section. I took pity on tired toddlers who just want to see Christmas stuff so I put some on the lowest level and removed the Coca cola bears.

I recently read that Caspian Tigers & Amur Tigers are genetically identical, so Amur Tigers may be reintroduced? to the Caspian area.

Thank you Firehawk and everyone else!

 

I do just planters for decor in the "outer reaches" of the zoo and Christmas lights closer to buildings and central areas where electricity and maintenance is easier (in real life).

 

More pix...

 

Maned wolf, jabriu (sp), magpie goose and more to come..

It's so amazing, you are very creative fountain. Could you please tell me about the building on the left side of the picture under 'Bears, beaver and yummy people food'? I don't remember seeing that building before.

There is a bear house http://www.ztcdd.org/DG/index.php?topic=3733.0 by toodlepops and a small bear house http://www.ztcdd.org/DD/index.php?topic=5350.0 by Toodlepop. Smaller is 5x5 and holds 8 guests. Larger is 4x6 and hold 10 and it has a "cage" with bear in the back. I used the smaller one.

 

I think this is one of my most beautiful zoos with the planters and lamps and observation areas. The access roads are not that great in the layout. I think the exhibits look pretty good with the blending and transitions looking better overall.

 

Here are a more additions:

 

Over view of Eurasian animals Amurs, etc.
