I really have wanted not to see the tanks at times so we have been experimenting. And this lovely screen of a manta ray is one of our results. It is really fun to watch the ray moving around feeding....But this is not what I meant. Here is a teaser for a couple of new things We are working on a few new things including new Atlantean stuff including a show tank. Some new rocky things that do things they are not supposed to. And more of my coloured things.

Zoo Admin no longer exists. Those files will be at Tek eventually. But you can access those files by using the ZA Zoo Map Editor or the Developer Menu Hack

That is the Log Flume from ZKL. I have given you the DD post link which has the site link for ZKL. If you look around this area at DD you will see listings for other rides that are available.

Oh dear, well i just hopping a new kind of creature. But i hope the creator still fine and perhaps busy in real life

Wow Fern! I'm flattered you went to the trouble to check. :) I have those three downloads and did check before if any of them were right and I saw none of them were the same as what I thought I remembered.

The second one mentioned is from Uncrated and I do not have it listed in the open. From Jay: According to the ZT Spreadsheet Subset file, 3 Cuban Crocodiles were made: 2D994026: CubanCrocodile.ZTD: cubancroc.zip: from ZA and Zoo Empire, and there is a download listing for it, and the picture in that listing looks green b4082398: Cuban Crocodile.ztd: Island_Pack.zip: in a post at DD giving a list, but no download listing; its animal info and tooltip do not mention blue cubacr: Khd_Cuban_Crocodile.ZTD: Khaydar_drive_ZT1_Downloads.zip: unlikely to be blue So I suspect there was no blue crocodile. zt1-baby-tycoon-into-the-blue.ztd probably has ZT's baby crocodiles as adults, so they would not be blue. In addition to looking for cub croc, I looked for blue croc and blue gator. I also looked in the List Of Blue Things graphical index. That shows a number of blue animals that were made, but not a blue crocodile.

Hi Maeva! Welcome to Tek!

Bonjour et bienvenue, Maeve! Hope you have a wonderful time here!

Hi all, We've released the first version of OpenZT! You can read all the details here or just download it directly here, to install simply place `res-openzt.dll` in your zoo tycoon install directory. You'll know it worked if a new logging console windows pops up and you see `OpenZT: 0.1.0` in the bottom right of the main menu.

Bonjour!

Thanks for your feedback Fern! Odd... I remember running the checker by myself and none of these messages showed up... Guess that was because I made several "last minute changes"... I'm fixing them for the final versions which I'm gathering into the whole final pack

I had to zip them to get them to Jay so the zip name is irrelevant. From Jay: Here are the results from the checkers. There are no errors, but there are warnings that look like should be fixed. For the emu, some are because of a "b," incorrectly in the [BehaviorSet\bTense] section. The other things should be more obvious on how to change. Even though there are warnings, overall the results look good. fernDownloadsZWEmuNSeaCow.zip: ZwKingEmuV1.ztd * Efficiency: animals/57a0d033/icostric/icostric.pal not used, so not needed. * Efficiency: animals/57a0d033/lsmostri/lsmostri.pal not used, so not needed. * Efficiency: animals/57a0d033/plostric/plostric.pal not used, so not needed.

So happy to have you with us Maeva! Please make yourself at home, and let your friends know about us; we would love to have them join in. Welcome!

I'm working on some species of animals that went extinct due to human actions in recent times... I'm considering five species, but the first two are already finished. Feel free to take a look at them and give a try! Report any issue you find Instead of the usual facts and biology descriptions, the plaque contains a short tale I wrote to depict how these species were wipped out from existence... I expect them not to be too dark, just real enough. King Island emu. The last captive specimens died in 1822 in Jardin des Plantes, Paris. ~~ King's Last Heir ~~ Patience is not a gift, but a skill that has to be developed well in the roughest environments. Patience to learn how to find the hideout of the drops after the rain, patience to fold yourself out of the wind strikes. Patience to learn how to listen. I was a great listener. King Island shaped me that way. We needed patience since our legs were pretty short. There was no need to flow across endless plains. I used to listen the wind scoured grass and the whispers of the scrub from my homeland, until the trees started yelling sharp screams when falling down with no storms and the island eventually grew louder, harsher, less like a place that was able to held you with it and more like it was pushing you back instead. It suddenly got completely reformed without asking if we could bent with it. The ground was not able to offer us nests anymore, as the hooves crushed completely lacking care of their step and the chicks weren't returning from the edge of the woods. The bigger ones were never aware what being afraid of anything was until that time. That's the reason why we were easy to get caught when they started looking at us like a mistake that needed to be corrected. I was a great listener. I noticed how, one by one, the voices of my kind thinned and eventually vanished. The last time I met another like me, we were standing far apart, pretending not to notice how quiet it had become. No answering calls, no rustle of feet through the grass, just the echoes of the axes slicing the wind until hitting the logs. After that, I walked alone. I reached every corner of the island, expecting it to remember and bring us back into existence. However, my shadow would not split in two just for a miracle. When I got found, the island was no more speaking my language. They seemed to be pleased, probably amazed. "There is another one!" they said. "Let's take it with the others!". In that moment, I almost lost all hope to find another like me, I was tired. Not wounded at all, just done. They toke me to met my kind again. I was a great listener, but my kind was now just quiet. As the island language is not the mine anymore, I never understood the meaning of the word "collection". ~ Steller's sea cow lived in the Bering Sea until 1768. ~~ The Archipielago that bled off ~~ Odd to find how green is the water today. If you asked me yesterday if it would be this intensely colorful, I'd say that was never going to happen. Nevertheless, we're here. Silent as usual, chilling as usual, serene as usual, but below the surface, the leaves of the kelp forest are making fun of us in an endless wobble that gets lost in the depths of the ocean, down where sun barely reached in the clearest summer ever. In past days, the islands toke the main component of the landscape, blocking our view of the kelp forest below them. They were the ropes or anchors that kept the land in place, and we came from afar alongside the sunrise, just to find our feast, ready to keep us with it until the sun again was getting tired of dancing in the sky and falling again into the horizon, constraining us to follow it to the south if we weren't willing to get lost into the endless night. Today, instead of nourishment, this green moorland, dazzling, ominously gorgeous is our recipiency. However, all of this starvation that ravens our flock it is not the kelp forest's fault at all. They didn't swallow the islands. That wrath that arises from the horizon with infernal blizzards and the north's breath never sank the Archipielago that selflessly granted us plenty of feeding source and shelter for more than five thousand trips of the sun. One day, the islands went under a hideous transformation. They came out of the water in parts and aberrated into beasts with multiple heads with twice times arms. They became louder, with a noisy yell every time they managed to succesfully beat the surface. But most of all, they became faster. One by one, all the islands swam away from sight, leaving behind a trace made by the leftovers of its previous life. Each day, there were less islands and eventually, as fast as a wingbeat, we found almost no place for us to take a rest of the migration and even less of its delicacies that grew, awaiting for our pleasure. I have this theory: The islands got tired of us. That's why the kelp is gloating on our wretchedness. I can distinguish the whispers and the gossip comming throughout the waves of the sea. They are not here anymore and are not wishing to return. Our promised land is no more than a legend. What are we going to say to our offspring? Actually, how far am I supposed to fly today? ~ Have a nice download! Files deleted Feb 24th 2026. Link to newest versions here! 📖📖

Basically you get what you see in the screenshot! A whole lot of little pots and flower stands, an Agapanthus and some lilies, a boat full of flowers, some round flowerbeds and various gardens, some with fountains and some without. The gardens include grassy garden, rainbow garden with fountain, fern garden with fountain, rabbit garden with grazing rabbits and solar powered fountain and copper globe garden. The plant stands look plausible in water so they are water placeable. The original images were all photographs taken on my summer holidays and subjected to a variety of tortures in my graphics software to give a wide variety of zt objects. However, without the patience and wonderful attentions of Fern, they wouldn't be half as good as they are, since she has breathed on my rather erratic rotations and ucs files and imposed some sense on the chaos. Thanks http://www.ztcdd.org/DG/Smileys/default/flower_hugs.gif http://www.ztcdd.org/DG/Smileys/default/throw.gif There are rather a lot of them so the zip is over a megabyte, but I bet it takes you less long to download it than it took me to upload it!! http://www.ztcdd.org/DG/Smileys/default/wub.gif And I thought I would also include this so you can see just how much work is involved: Just for fun, here are the original shots of the rainbow garden - cut down from 3500 pixels to 350 wide so as not to take a month to upload. I had to do quite a lot of work to the images to get them into an appropriate form, but I'm very pleased with the result. Submitter Cricket Submitted 08/26/2025 Category Fall Fest

The range of the American alligator includes all of the land along the banks of the Gulf of Mexico. They live primarily in swamps and marshes, but also in rivers, lakes, and smaller bodies of water. They can tolerate a reasonable degree of salinity, being occasionally found in brackish water around mangrove swamps, although they lack the buccal salt-secreting glands present in crocodiles.

I don't know Serpy's way, but mine is as follows: Build a terrestrial exhibit, with space for tanks to wrap around it. Note that I'm using invisible wall here. Build two tanks to wrap around the exhibit. Careful with your fence placement so that you don't accidentally swallow the land exhibit in the middle. Merge the two tanks, then raise the exhibit up to their level. You will notice that the connecting ramp would not form around the edge between land and water as long as you have 2 fences against each other. Delete all BUT ONE of your land fence pieces. If you delete every land fence piece the land exhibit will be turned into a tank. This is where the invisible fence comes into play.

These tips are from Wisco's Zoo Tycoon * Guests can see in a range of 10 tiles. The more animals they see in this range, the better. But these animals must be happy to keep the guests happy. * Every animal house has different attractions. You can change the attraction of an animal house by clicking on the house. This opens an info box. Then, click on an icon that looks like a notepad. Note that these attractions must be researched first before you can use them! * The compost building generates $ 50 for every pile of raked poo. And if you have the Dino Digs expansion, you will get $ 100 for every pile of raked dino poo! * Every guest has his/her favorite animal. Seeing this animal in your zoo will increase that guest's happiness! You can check a guest's favorite animal in his/her information panel, by clicking on the guest. * Don't hire maintenance workers in the first months of a game, because they will have little work and you must pay them anyway! Also, don't start the game by building food/drink-stands, because it takes a while before a guest becomes hungry/thirsty when he/she enters your zoo. More important is it that you have to pay upkeep-costs for these food/drink-stand, so you can save money if you wait to build the food/drink stands. The same for restaurants. * A hamburger stand is twice as filling as a hotdog stand but does not stimulate the thirst as much.
