Elm Creek Zoo

Thanks for the advice Fern! I have noticed that the zookeeper hadn't been doing his job very well.

The first shot here is of the Tasmanian Devils, which I was reluctant to place here but technically they're deciduous animals (or so the game tells me). They were one of the most popular exhibits I had until I built a food court a ways down the path for crowd control.

Another shot of the Tasmanian Devils shows the nearby Animal Theater a little better.

This next shot is of the Trumpeter Swans who down the path from the Tasmanian Devils. Their exhibit is pretty basic but there's traffic nonetheless.

The fourth shot is of the duck billed platypi, who are very happy with their little niche. Their lowered exhibit was an attempt to add some flair to a previously boring, almost exclusively aquatic section of the zoo.

Thanks for reading! More shots will be coming soon.

Fun new exhibits! I haven't used the tasmanian devil before. Is it fun to work with?

This first shot is of the American Beavers, which fill up the corner near a circular rock formation, which we'll visit in a second.

Another angle on the beavers.

This circular formation is the only way to get to the second and third sections of the zoo (excluding the tunnel back at the rabbit exhibit) and has two exhibits in it: Raccoon dogs and red foxes. Here we have the first shot of the raccoon dogs, which also shows the restaurant outside the bounds of the rocks and trees.

This exhibit design was inspired by the San Francisco Zoo, which features a similar savanna exhibit with zebras, giraffes, ostriches, and crowned cranes spanning the perimeter and tunnels to get in and out of the section in the center, with walls around.

This is the first shot of the red foxes, which were a pain where I sit. It took forever to get their exhibit suitability up to snuff. Anyone else had any problems with them?

Another angle on the foxes.

Thanks for reading! More shots coming soon.

What is the ztd name and date for the red foxes? From Tek or where?

[Teotlxixtli]

You know, Fern, I think the red fox is from this website, but I haven't checked. And all of my downloads are from forever ago, so I don't recall the date of publication.

[ARIZNANA]

Fern , there is a red fox in the british wilderness pak here on tek . I also have a "maple red fox " but because of internal server errors I am not able to attach it here for you . It is a large file .

Just a couple shots today.

The first shot here is of the European Beavers, which are disappointingly alike their American counterparts. To spice it up I lowered their exhibit and, like the Western Pond Turtles before them, put them "in" Elm Creek. This is near the Tasmanian Devil exhibit and the animal theater, to give you a sense of direction.

This shot shows another angle on the European Beavers as well as the wekas, which are a lot like the takahes in that I like them but the guests tend to leave them alone. They are part of a larger section of birds which I will be showing in the next response. There's a restaurant across the way from their exhibit hidden by foliage.

Thanks for reading! More shots will be coming soon.
