if you go with sharks, make round corners so they don't bump into the tankwalls.
give them a lot of space to roam free, most shark tanks look quite empty except for some rocks.

I don't know what Madrid is like exactly, but I'd think something dry foresty would work well. ;)

-- Somehow still here? --

Temperate forest is all I can say Hudson. Here we are mostly leafy deciduous forest with pine forest interspersed. Most of my temperate mixes could probably pass off as being in Michigan. Where in Michigan are you going to locate the zoo? If you have any more questions just shoot and I will try and answer them to the best of my ability.

Also because I am up till past 1:00 for this I decided to show you guys a little sneak peek of Boston Zoo. This is a very rough start and is far from final. But anyways here it is-

I've just started new project, I've lost inspiration to NYZS ;/
I created exhibit for Wisent (or other animal), could you tell me which animal would be the best for this exhibit? I didn't make much foliage because I'll probably put there some ungulates, they would destroy it.

Btw. is the new foliage composition okay?

I like your foliage combination a lot. I think it's cool like that. Just try to add several different types of ground foliage outside the exhibit ;)
Also I think this exhibit looks perfect for wisents, and I appreciate the fact that you chose a tree combinations that nobody used before! Well done! :)

It looks really cool Omenoor. Very different from any other of your zoos (that were always tropical). I like the new style. I think some kind of cattle will do fine there. Wisent seems like the perfect choice actually :)

Great work Ommenor... Bisons are a great option, but some elands and zebras may be good too!

DTF, great work in the bear enclosure, I like it alot as I like the foliage too... I was thing in the South part of Michigan, like, the city I'm planning, Southfield ;)


I did this exhibit just for fun, but I may start a zoo from it because I quite like the foliage... I tried to follow your, DTF, foliage combination guide, it didn't turned well as I think though. It's entrance and key deer ;) Dp this look like Michigan?

I like it Hudson. I think the pine bush stands out a lot though.

I agree with ZC, a big animal would be great for this enclosure :) Maybe with adding a little more trees, you could put some tapirs?
