The Sanctuary - zoo & biopark

[MaTT²]

It's time to show you my new carnivore area ^^

 

Still building exhibits without visible fences and wilder than the previous zoo, I tried to create specific atmosphere for the carnivores with rocky environnement. Here are the pics !

 

The entrance of the area, with the lion statue, guarding the place and watching the visitors while they cross the river at the ford

 

 

Exhibit 011 - African Lion

The exhibit is borded by cliffs and a baobab forest (where leopards live) with many rocks, included their toys.

 

 

 

Exhibit 012 - Cheetah

This one is surrounded by the Mara River, with the wildebeast on the other side .. looks very natural I thought :)

You can see the border forest of the leopard exhibit, which is nearby with the cheetah.

 

 

Exhibit 013 - Leopard

A baobab forest where the animals can hide from the visitors if needed, and play with their tree-toy. The observation area is concealed under the trees.

 

 

Exhibit 014 - African Wild Dog

A large exhibit for the group, with cliffs, fallen rocks and wide waterfall falling from a future exhibit (guess wich one ^^)

 

 

 

Exhibit 015 - Spotted Hyena

Last one for the carnivore section, with more rocky elements than before too. I also love the cascade effect :)

 

 

To conclude for teh carnivore area : an overview from the 5 exhibits :

 

 

I hop you will enjoy and see the changes ! :)

Thank you all ^^ Glad you like the new version of these exhibits ! The next 5 will also be totally changed, I'm planning their conception but, waiting for it, here's the leaflet for the carnivores area :

 

Cover : "rendez-vous into carnivore's territory"

 

Introducing the carnivores area (I might be a little bit inspired by Katy Perry's last song ^^)

 

The Wildcats Rock (for lions, cheetahs and leopards)

 

Others animals

 

Sponsoring program for animals : visitors can now sponsor an animal and get some advantages as privileged members

 

Hope you'll like it :)

New pics from my last savannah area ! I'm very busy actually so don't have enough time to work on my zoo but .. finally it's over :)

 

Exhibit 016 - Great Flamingo

 

Here the flamingo's lagoon with waterfalls and a long wooden bridge offering to the visitors a great view over the exhibit .. my new favourite one for the moment ^^

 

Focus on the lagoon

 

 

Exhibit 017 - Ostrichs

As I decided to create some "links" between most of my exhibits, I put a fall coming from the flamingos into the ostrichs exhibit :)

 

Focus on the exhibit

 

Exhibit 018 - African Warthogs

 

This exhibi is linked by water too, with the attraction close to it :

 

 

Exhibit 019 - Blackbucks

 

 

Exhibit 020 - Red Kangaroos

 

Seperately, all these exhibits are quite "simple" but with an overview, you'll see that there ar still no fences for the visitors nor between the animals, as I did with the "open savannah" for the herbivores. It gives the illusion of a unique exhibit, trying to built the most natural area as possible :)

 

 

To finish for today, here is the tunnel leading to the first Attraction Area, the Akwaba Village (next post .. !)

[Firehawke]

Love the bridge and waterfall area by the flamingos!!!
