Description : Guests and South American animals will enjoy the Amazonian Termite Mound, made by the common termite Cornitermes cumulans in grassy places in the rainforest, and the Amazonian Termite Nest, made by the little known termite Neocapritermes braziliensis on an old tree stump. There are also decorative versions of these inside the same ".ztd" files that can be used in any exhibit and that do not count toward suitability so that you can add as many as you like to an exhibit.

Description from Dr Rick : I put Taz's Giant Armadillo in an enclosure and made it look good with trees and rocks and termite nests. I wondered if amazonian termite nests look like the in-game one. I soon found that, although there are some a bit like the in-game one, others are just a colourful pile of red lateritic soil debris, and others are rounded lumps of chewed up wood, raised off the ground on decaying stumps of old trees. I was so delighted by these ideas that I created some of each so Taz's armadillo could frolic among them enjoying the prospect of juicy termites within!
