  1. Ribbon Seal by Tasmanian Tiger

    The ribbon seal of the north pole to add to your zoo!
     
    The ribbon seal is compatible with the emperor penguin, although the emperor penguin doesn't like it, it will accept its presence and cause no problems.
     
    Updated: September 27, 2013 by Jay to remove the background for the male animal list icon, to add animal list icons for the female and young, to remove the top and bottom edges of the purchase menu icons, to adjust the positions of all animations, to make minor adjustments to the animal info, to add the preferred object tooltip for the female and young, to add the capability of a simple surface roll trick for show tanks, to add the capability to use 3 user made toys, to add a purchase menu tooltip, to remove unnecessary files and configuration lines, and to correct configuration mistakes done by the APE program. Please note that the version at Taz's site is no longer the most current version, since she is deceased.

    Description : The ribbon seal or the Histriophoca fasciata grows to a maximum of 1.9 metres in size. It is found in the Arctic and Subarctic regions of the North Pacific Ocean, notably in the Bering Sea and Sea of Okhotsk. It is the only species in the genus Histriophoca. The Ribbon Seal is a medium-sized pinniped from the family called Phocidae. Members of the Phocidae family are also called true seals or earless seals because they lack external ear flaps. Since newborn ribbon seals do not enter the water for a number of weeks, the young of this ribbon seal does not go in water. This Ribbon Seal can use the Ice Floe For Certain Animals By Taz, the Ice Floe For Certain Animals, and the Raft For Certain Animals. The Ribbon Seal is compatible with the Emperor Penguin, although the Emperor Penguin doesn't like it but will accept its presence and cause no problems. However, if the Emperor Penguin is in the same exhibit, then the exhibit must not have the Ice Floe For Certain Animals By Taz, the Ice Floe For Certain Animals, or the Raft For Certain Animals, since the penguin could get stuck on those toys, being that the penguin is not configured for those toys. The Ribbon Seal is also compatible with the Harp Seal made by Taz.
     
    Note: ZT is not used to animals where the adults go in tanks while the young do not. So it can keep changing its mind between the exhibit being suitable and the exhibit needing more salt water terrain and less snow. Whenever it does change its mind and wants more salt water terrain, do so. Eventually it will get to a point where it does not change its mind.

  2. Baiji by Tasmanian_tiger

    The baiji is a freshwater dolphin found only in the Yangtze River in China. The dolphin is also called Chinese River Dolphin, Yangtze River Dolphin, Whitefin Dolphin and Yangtze Dolphin. The Baiji population declined drastically in decades as China industrialized and made heavy use of the river for fishing, transportation, and hydroelectricity. Efforts were made to conserve the species, but a late 2006 expedition failed to find any Baiji in the river. Organizers declared the Baiji "functionally extinct",[4] which would make it the first aquatic mammal species to become extinct since the demise of the Japanese Sea Lion and the Caribbean Monk Seal in the 1950s.
     
    I hope you enjoy this addition to your zoos. Combine the baiji with pandas to create lively 'river-tanks'.

  3. Bonnethead Shark by Ghirin

    The bonnethead shark (Sphyrna tiburo) is one of the the smallest members of the hammerhead shark family. These small sharks prefer tropical and subtropical coastal regions where there is continental shelf and are exclusive to the western hemisphere. Bonnethead sharks migrate to warmer waters during the winter months.
     
    Bonnethead sharks are easy to distinguish from other hammerheads by the shape of their heads, which is more shovel-shaped than other hammerhead species. Their diet consists of crustaceans such as blue crabs and shrimp, mollusks, and small fishes. Females tend to consume more food, possibly to provide energy for reproduction.
     
    This species of shark usually forms schools of up to fifteen individuals and they use their cerebrospinal fluid for communication between individuals. During birthing season (these sharks are livebearers), females predominate in shallow waters.

  6. Harp Seal by Tasmanian_tiger

    Author : Taz (Tasmanian_tiger)
     
    Category : Real animal, Pinniped
     
    Updated: September 25, 2013 by Jay to remove the background for the male and female animal list icons, to add an animal list icon for the young, to remove the top and bottom edges of the purchase menu icons, to adjust the positions of all animations, to make minor adjustments to the animal info, to add the preferred object tooltip for the female and young, to add the capability of a simple surface roll trick for show tanks, to add the capability to use 3 user made toys, to remove unnecessary files and configuration lines, and to correct configuration mistakes done by the APE program.

    Description : The Harp Seal is somewhat larger than the Common Seal, growing to 5.5 ft (1.67 m) long and with a weight of 115-180 kg (253-400 lb). Males are distinctly larger than females. Harp Seals are well known for the saddle-like spot on their backs. Adult males are creamy white overall, with a dark chocolate brown head and a broad dark chocolate brown U-shaped pattern on their back, running across the shoulders and down each flank to near the base of the tail; the pattern is often slightly asymmetrical and irregular, with dark brown spots extending onto the white parts. Adult females have a similar but less distinct pattern, with the brown being paler and greyer. Immature Harp Seals up to two to three years old are pale grey, variably spotted with darker grey. The flippers are white or pale grey, with five stout claws on each fore flipper. The tail is short, 10-15 cm long. The fur on adults is 2 cm long, dense, stiff, and velvety; the skin is roughly the same color as the fur: whitish-grey under the white fur, and dark brown under the brown fur. The vibrissae are numerous on the muzzle, the longest about 12 cm long. The newborn pups are all white except for a black nose and eyes, which helps them blend in with the snow. Puberty is reached at 5-7 years, and the maximum lifespan is more than 30 years. Since newborn harp seals do not enter the water for a number of weeks, the young of this harp seal does not go in water. This Harp Seal can use the Ice Floe For Certain Animals By Taz, the Ice Floe For Certain Animals, and the Raft For Certain Animals. The Harp Seal is compatible with the Emperor Penguin, although the Emperor Penguin doesn't like it but will accept its presence and cause no problems. However, if the Emperor Penguin is in the same exhibit, then the exhibit must not have the Ice Floe For Certain Animals By Taz, the Ice Floe For Certain Animals, or the Raft For Certain Animals, since the penguin could get stuck on those toys, being that the penguin is not configured for those toys. The Harp Seal is also compatible with the Ribbon Seal made by Taz.

    Description : The most widespread pinniped, the Common or Harbour Seal has a plump body and a small, cat-like head with a slight forehead and nostrils that form a V-shaped pattern. Its coat ranges from light to dark grey or brown, and has spots, rings and blotches all over. The breeding season varies regionally, and the pups are able to crawl and swim almost within an hour of birth. There are at least five subspecies of Common Seal. One of them, the Ungava Seal, lives in fresh water in N. Quebec, Canada. (Text by Dorling Kindersley Handbooks.)

  9. Fresh Water Bull Shark by Ghirin

    The bull shark (Carcharhinus leucas) is a large, robust shark found in shallow coastal marine waters worldwide. These sharks will also enter and live in estuaries, freshwater lakes and rivers.
     
    Bull sharks eat both bony fishes and small sharks. In the cooler portions of their range, bull sharks mate during the summer months; however, in the warmer parts of their range they may breed year-round. Females nourish the young internally for 10 to 11 months and give birth to free-swimming pups.

  10. West African Manatee by BigCatKeeper

    West African Manatee Author: BigCatKeeper
    http://www.zoo-tek.com/forums/index.php?download=167
     
    Manatees are large, cylindrically shaped mammals, with forelimbs modified in to flippers, no free hind limbs, and the rear of the body in the form of a flat, rounded, horizontal paddle. The flexible flippers are used for aiding motion over the bottom, scratching, touching and even embracing other manatees, and moving food into and cleaning the mouth. Its upper lip is modified into a large bristly surface, which is deeply divided. It can move each side of the lips independently while feeding. The general coloration is grey.
     
    The West African manatee weighs less than 500 kg (1100 lb). Adults are generally 3 - 4 m (10 - 13') long. It inhabits coastal areas, estuarine lagoons, large rivers that range from brackish to fresh water, freshwater lakes and the extreme upper reaches of rivers above cataracts. This manatee species is dependent on emergent or overhanging, rather than submerged, vegetation. Populations in some rivers depend heavily on overhanging bank growth, and those in estuarine areas feed exclusively on mangroves. Seasonal movements in response to changes in water level affecting availability of food and/or water salinity have been reported in several areas. An individual manatee may travel 30 - 40 km/day (19 - 25 mi/day) through lagoons and rivers.
     
    The West African manatee occurs from Senegal to Angola; its numbers continue to decrease. The population decline has been attributed largely to hunting and incidental capture in fishing nets. Despite legal protection, the manatee is still hunted throughout its range. It is sometimes also killed in turbines or control gates of dams. The coastal wetlands that are a major habitat for the manatee have already been heavily damaged and are further severely threatened. Woodcutting is resulting in the extermination of mangrove stands in some areas. Mangrove clearance, as well as erosion due to forest clearance upstream, are resulting in increased sedimentation that silts up lagoons and estuaries.

  12. Pig-Nosed Turtle by Ghirin

    The pig-nosed turtle (Carettochelys insculpta), also known as the Fly River turtle, is a unique species of freshwater turtle native to northern Australia and southern New Guinea. The turtle gets its name from the way its nostrils are located in the front of its snout.
     
    Even though the pig-nosed turtle is a freshwater turtle, it resembles a sea-going turtle because it has flippers instead of front legs. These turtles have been found in a variety of habitats, including rivers, estuaries, lagoons, lakes, swamps and water pools. The waterway bottoms are usually covered with gravel and the banks are usually heavily forested.
     
    Pig-nosed turtles are omnivorous, but have a preference for fruit and leaves.

  15. Spinner Dolphin by LAwebTek

    Spinner Dolphin
    Author: LAwebTek
     
    Classified Stenella longirostris in 1828 - the specific name referring to this species' long snout. This species is found in tropical and subtropical waters worldwide. There are no subspecies, but there are four distinct Eastern Pacific forms: the Eastern, the Whitebelly, the Costa Rican and the Hawaiian.
     
    The Spinner Dolphin is a slender creature with a long, thin beak to which the distinct forehead slopes gently. The dorsal varies with both age and geographical form; it can lean forward, be curved, or be completely triangular in shape. The flippers are long and pointed, and a stripe links them to the eyes. Eastern Pacific and Costa Rican animals are mainly grey, with other forms usually two- or three-tone. Both the Hawaiian and Whitebelly forms have a dark grey or black dorsal cape, paler flanks and sides, and a creamy-white belly. All forms measure between 1.3 and 2.1m in length, and weigh between 45-75kg.
     
    Units range from a few animals to a few thousand, often mixing with other cetacean species such as Pilot Whales and Spotted Dolphins. They are dramatically acrobatic, with somersaults, high spinning leaps and other aerial movements popular. They vocalise with whistles and clicks, and can travel as fast as 20kph. Spinner Dolphins inhabit both offshore and inshore waters and feed on midwater fish and squid. They are different from other dolphins in that they feeds at night.
     
    Spinner Dolphins are often targeted in the purse-seine and yellowfin tuna fisheries of the eastern Pacific Ocean. Elsewhere, many of these dolphins are accidentally killed in gillnets, and also taken in harpoon fisheries. Some individuals have been kept successfully in captivity for at least 10 years.

  16. Japanese Sea Lion by Coolperson5

    Japanese Sea Lion (Zalophus japonicus) is thought to have become extinct in the 1950s.
     
    Prior to 2003 it was considered to be a subspecies of California Sea Lion as Zalophus californianus japonicus. However, it was subsequently reclassified as a separate species. Some taxonomists still consider it as a subspecies of the California Sea Lion. It has been argued that japonicus, californianus, and wollenbaeki are distinct species because of their distant habitation areas and behavioral differences.
     
    They inhabited the Sea of Japan, especially around the coastal areas of the Japanese Archipelago and the Korean Peninsula. They generally bred on sandy beaches which were open and flat, but sometimes in rocky areas.
     
    Currently, several stuffed specimens can be found in Japan and the National Museum of Natural History, Leiden, the Netherlands brought by Philipp Franz von Siebold. The British Museum possesses a pelt and 4 skull specimens.

    Crabeater Seal by Ghirin
     
    The crabeater seal (Lobodon carcinophagus) is one of the most common large mammals in Antartica.
    It is known for its complicated tooth pattern which forms an interlocking sieve for filtering krill.
     
    Crabeater seals usually haul out on the pack ice, but have also been known to travel inland.

  18. Commersons Dolphin by Ghirin

    Commerson’s dolphin (Cephalorhynchus commersonii), also known as the piebald dolphin, is native to coastal waters of the southwestern Atlantic Ocean. (A second population has been identified in the Indian Ocean.) This dolphin is easy to recognize due to its striking black and white skin pattern. Young are born grey and become two-toned with age.
     
    Commerson’s dolphins prefer coastal waters where the continental shelf is wide and flat. Their diet consists of squid, crustaceans, and fish. They usually travel in small groups of two to four animals, but large schools have been reported.

  19. Finless Porpoise by Ghirin

    Finless Porpoise Author: Ghirin
     
    The finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides) is found in the costal waters from the Persian Gulf to Japan. Populations are also found in adjacent estuaries, rivers, and shallow channels. They prefer shallow waters (up to 50 m deep) with soft or sandy bottoms.
     
    Due to its lack of a dorsal fine, it is easy to identify in the wild. The living animal is often blue-gray and may darken after death. The neck vertebrae are not fused, allowing the animal to turn its head. Males may grow to 2 m and females range up to 1.5 m in length.
     
    Finless porpoises often seen in singly or in groups of 2-4. Large groupings of up to 20 have been reported. Their primary diet consists of small fish, squid, crustaceans, and octopus.

  22. Harp Seal by Ghirin

    The harp seal (Phoco groenlandica) is native to the north Atlantic ocean, ranging from the Gulf of St. Lawrence to Greenland. The fur of the seals changes with the age of the seal. The coat of the pup is white, turning gray after a few weeks. The adult coat has a background color of silvery gray with dark markings on the head and a dark band running up each flank and over the back that resembles a horseshoe or a harp.
     
    The harp seal spends most of its time in the open sea or on ice. In the spring, the harp seals haul out on the sea ice for moulting, birthing pups, and breeding. Large numbers of seals may come together during this time.
     
    Harp seals feed on fish and crustacenas. They bite breathing holes into the ice so that they have access to fresh air between dives for food.

  23. Galapogos Shark by Ghirin

    The Galapagos shark (Carcharhinus galapagensis) is a common resident in the coastal waters of many tropical islands. This shark prefers shallow waters but has been known to swim in the deep water between islands. They are usually found near coral reefs.
     
    Galapagos sharks feed on bottom-dwelling fishes such as flatfish and triggerfish. It is a viviparous species with litter sizes ranging from 6 to 16 pups. The young sharks form “nurseries” in shallow water to avoid predation by larger sharks.
     
    This shark is known for its display when it feels threatened. The back is arched, the head is raised, and the pectoral and tail fins are lowered. The shark then swims in a twisting, rolling motion.

  25. Pacific Baracuda by BigCatKeeper

    Pacific Barracuda Author: BigCatKeeper
     
    The Pacific barracuda is slim-bodied, has a tapered head, a long thin snout, and large canine teeth in a lower jaw that projects beyond the upper. It also has a forked tail, large eyes, and short, widely separated dorsal fins with 5 dorsal spines and 10 dorsal rays. The anal fins have 2 spines followed usually by 9 rays. Greyish-black on the back with a blue tinge, shading to silvery white on the sides and belly, it has a yellowish tail which lacks the black blotches on the sides of the body that are characteristic of other barracudas. Large females have a charcoal black edge on the pelvic and anal fins, whereas the male fins are edged in yellow or olive.
     
    The Pacific barracuda is shorter than the great barracuda. It reportedly can grow up to 5 feet but has only been recorded to 4 feet; it rarely weighs more than 10 pounds, and though fish of about 12 pounds have been captured, most of the fish caught by anglers are much smaller. They grow to at least 11 years old, and the females grow larger than the males, with most fish over 8 pounds and all fish over 11 pounds being female. The growth rate is similar in both sexes until the fourth year of life, when the females begin to grow a bit faster. Pacific barracudas occur along the Pacific coast of North America from Alaska to Magdalena Bay, Baja California, though their common range is between Point Conception, California, and Magdalena Bay. The Pacific barracuda is the only barracuda found along the Pacific coast of North America. Pacific barracudas prefer warmer water. Only caught off of California during the spring and summer, they are caught in Mexican waters throughout the year, reflecting a northerly spring migration and a southerly fall migration. Spawning takes place off outer Baja California in the open ocean, peaking in June but extending from April to September. The eggs are pelagic and once they hatch, the young come inshore and stay in the shallow, quiet bays and coastal waters while they grow. By July, fry spawned in early spring are about 4 inches and average about 16 inches a year later. A few males spawn in their first year, and all by their second year, while most females spawn in their second year and all by their third year. When small, they travel in schools, though adults are normally solitary. They are naturally curious and attracted to shiny objects.
     
    The Pacific barracuda feeds by sight instead of smell, and eats small anchovies, smelt, squids, and other small, schooling fish.
