Blue Shark by Ghirin
By Fern
Author: Ghirin
Description : The blue shark (Prionace glauca) is perhaps the most widely distributed pelagic species of shark. This shark is found in all of the world's oceans and has a preference for cooler waters (7-16 degrees C). It is often seen swimming near the surface but will dive to depths over 100 meters. Blue sharks have wide migratory patterns. Individual blue sharks have been tracked between different sides of oceans. Their diet is composed mainly of small schooling fishes such as anchovies and herring. Other foods such as squid and wounded marine mammals will be consumed if available.
As its name suggests, the blue shark has a deep blue upper body and a white ventral surface. The body is slender and the pectoral fins are long.
Male and female blue sharks live separately, coming together only for mating. Females are viviparous and very prolific. Litters can range in size from 15 to 130 pups.

Harp Seal by Tasmanian_tiger
By Fern
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.
Current ztd date: September 25, 2013
Compatibility : All Game Versions
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.
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.

Harbour (or Common) Seal
Author : Taz (Tasmanian_tiger)
Category : Real animal, Pinniped
Updated: June 29, 2013 by Jay to correct 3 animation views, to remove unnecessary files and configuration lines, and to correct configuration mistakes done by the APE program, primarily related to animal behaviors and to sounds. Please note that the version at Taz's site is no longer the most current version, since she is deceased.
Current ztd date: June 29, 2013
Compatibility : All Game Versions
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.)

Baiji by Tasmanian_tiger
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'.

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.

Japanese Sea Lion by Coolperson5
By Guest
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.

Salmon Shark by Ghirin
By Guest
Salmon Shark
Author: Ghirin
The salmon shark (Lamna ditropis) is considered by many to the Pacific Ocean equivalent of the porbeagle. This shark has a similar build and shape as other members of the mackerel shark family. Like the mako, porbeagle and great white, the salmon shark is able to maintain it body temperature several degrees above the surrounding ocean.
This shark prefers the cooler waters of the northern Pacific Ocean and ranges from California to the coasts of South Korea. It is mainly pelagic in habitat but will travel in coastal and epipelagic regions of it range.
Salmon sharks may form schools, but the sexes do not school together. It is a fast swimmer. Its main diet is composed of a variety of fishes including salmon, herring, sardines, cod, and dogfish. They will also consume squid when available.

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.

Otter Civet
Author: Ghirin
The otter civet (Cynogale bennettii) resides in swampy wetlands and borders of streams and rivers in tropical southeast Asia and Indonesia. It is semi-aquatic and resembles a small sea otter. The civet otter is thought to ambush small mammals and birds when they come to the water to drink; it may also eat crustaceans, mollusks, fish and fruit.

Finless Porpoise by Ghirin
By Guest
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.

Spinner Dolphin by LAwebTek
By Guest
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.

Saltwater Bull Shark
Author: 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.

Dusky Shark by Ghirin
By Guest
Dusky Shark Author: Ghirin
The dusky shark (Carcharhinus obscurus) has a wide distribution among the coastlines of temperate and tropical regions, with major populations found in the western Atlantic Ocean, western Indian Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, Pacific coast, and Australian waters. This shark prefers the relatively shallow waters of continental shelves. Young dusky sharks may congregate in bays and estuaries; however, adult dusky sharks avoid areas of low salinity. Dusky sharks are highly migratory. The exact path of migration varies with specific shark populations and is seasonal in nature.
Dusky sharks prey on bottom-dwelling fish and invertebrates (i.e., skates, crabs, flatfish). They will also feed on pelagic fishes. Dusky sharks are viviparous with litter sizes ranging from 3 to 14 pups.
