Thanks, I don't know why I don't remember that shelter since I've used that pack so many times. Don't you just love those huge snow crested rocks, especially the one with the staircase!

Oh, and those extravagant flocked evergreen trees were made by Genki!

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you are all well. Today we have the beginnings of an exhibit for Hawkkeye's Arctic Caribou! The idea for this exhibit plan was to simulate a winter valley sunken into the ground with a large herd of caribou found within. I've yet to begin work on the outside of the exhibit, but as far as the inside, it is pretty much finished. Here are four overhead shots of the area, which is found beside the White Tailed Deer exhibit: Areas with darker colored terrain have been accented by darker colored rock walls while the snowy terrain was complemented by the, well, snowy rock walls lol. I could not place rock walls all the way around due to size limitations, so in areas where there are blank spots, I placed down trees and rocks to camouflage them. Because I had just finished this exhibit, I cannot give an accurate observation of breeding rates and offspring output, but I will tell you that I have initially adopted 4 adult males, 4 adult females, and 1 child with the 'purchasing young hack.' I am expecting them to yield more children as time goes on 😊 Some updates on the other animals in this zoo: There are currently 23 of Borsato's Chital (they breed slowly but their herds have the potential to be VERY large) 7 of Hawkkeye's Japanese Macaques (slow breeding rates, slow child output) 6 of Hawkkeye's Zebu (slow breeding rates, slow child output, they are content to have small herds based on what I have witnessed) 16 of Borsato's Rhinoceros Hornbill (very fast and large breeding rates based on what I've witnessed, I have yet to receive any updates about their exhibits being 'too small') 23 of Hawkkeye's Knobbed Hornbills (fast breeding rate, large potential for massive flocks and they're content with the size of their exhibit for the time being) 17 of Hawkkeye's Great Hornbills (similar in scope to the Knobbed species) 19 of Hawkkeye's Barasinghas (slow-to-average breeding rate. Herds are large but they are in no rush to make them as big as possible) 9 of Khaydar's Indian Rhinoceros (similar to the Barasinghas. They're fine with building a herd at a smaller rate than other animals) A whopping 34 of Hawkkeye's Sarus Cranes (fast and aggressive breeders, love to build large flocks, not for casual players who build small exhibits) A staggering 102 of Hawkkeye's Vietnamese Pot-Bellied Pigs (I've already waxed poetic about these guys in the past but, seriously, don't adopt these guys unless you're willing to build a large exhibit for them and keep an eye out because they can and will overwhelm you if you aren't prepared for it lol.) 8 of Hawkkeye's Schomburgk's Deer (they don't feel compelled to build large herds, very slow birth rate even at their happiest. perfect for casual players.) 17 of Hawkkeye's Persian Fallow Deer (average herd-building speed. Might be fine for casual players.) 24 of Hawkkeye's Bornean Bearded Pigs (fast and aggressive herd-building capabilities, similar to the VPBP's. Do not build small exhibits for them) 5 of Hawkkeye's Sambar (small herds, content to keep small families. Casual players should be just fine.) 7 of Hawkkeye's Appaloosas (slow birthing rate, small to average-sized herds seem to be their goal) 22 of Hawkkeye's White-Tailed Deer (explosive birthing rate, do not build small exhibits for them. Keep abreast for messages about the exhibit 'not being big enough.' Mine are content for the time being.) 17 of Hawkkeye's Wild Turkeys (fast breeding rate. Not too overwhelming but definitely up there.) Finally, 10 of Borsato's Superb Lyrebirds (slow birthing rate but with a potential to build large flocks. Keep an eye on them.)

Okay caught up.
