Hell Creek Zoo

[Critterzoology]

A zoo featuring animals that lived in the famous Hell Creek Formation, 66 million years ago. 

 

 

Next to the entrance are a photo area where visitors can pose with an Acheroraptor and a playground on the opposite side.
The gift shop is themed after Montana fossil sites.

 

 

One of the first exhibits that greet visitors are the gentle and adorable Thescelosaurus.

 

 

 

Next to them is a building that houses smaller Hell Creek fossil fauna, including an aviary for the pterosaur Infernodrakon.

 

 

Right across from the Thescelosaurus exhibit is the mighty Tyrannosaurus.

 

 

Next on the tour is Ankylosaurus.

 

 

Right across from this Cretaceous tank is another icon of its time, the Triceratops.

 

 

Triceratops isn't the only Ceratopsian here, there is also Torosaurus.

 

Pachycephalosaurus completes the Marginocephalian trio.

 

 

Across from this area is an exhibit for Ornithomimus.

 

 

And the Ornithomimus enclosure is surrounded by an observation area for the Edmontosaurus enclosure.

 

 

And behind this you'll find the mosasaur exhibit.

Interesting picks

 

I haven't seen some of these, like the Infernodrakon or the alternate versions for Tyrannosaurus, Ankylosaurus and Triceratops

 

Pretty neat reconstruction of Hell Creek!! I'm now tempted to add some of these, like the Nanotyrannus, king of controversy!

Oh yeah, it's because the Infernodrakon mod doesn't actually exist yet, hehe. It's just an empty aviary for decoration. The others you're interested in are by Buffzoo.

Mosasaur by Lapis, Ornithomimus by Jymn, Thescelosaurus and Edmontosaurus by Hawkkeye.

I see HAHAHA i got rickrolled by an empty cage

 

If you want your HellCreek zoo fulfilled, you may share the exhibit you built for Infernodrakon. Which terrain and how many squares. The same for foliage and rocks.

 

Let's see what can we do with that.

 

Quite difficult to imagine a pterosaur with just a single vertebra known, but I've done more with even less 😹😹

I am loving your builds here! The observation areas and modular buildings are beautiful. You used "real" buildings well, too! And, of course, deco items are very well-placed. It's all so perfect. 🥲 Great job!

Another brilliant zoo design.  We'd love for you to participate in the zoo building contests; you are a master builder.

Many thanks, everyone!

I might join the contests once I feel fully recovered, for now though I'll just play around to relax without deadlines, but I definitely want to in the future.
@Zarawatto I'm not really desperate for it, just needed a building to fill some space. The terrain in there is similar to what Buffzoo's Hell Creek animals need, just on way smaller space. A Nanotyrannus mod would be cool, especially now that the controversy is pretty much over and settled. If I were to make an aviary animal suggestion though, you could make a Microraptor, if you feel like making one. There are already so many Liaoning fossil animals modded in, but not that one, outside of a Caudipteryx recolour. Maybe something to consider if you want to do a sequel to Unlimited Feather Overload.
