I believe kenya lies in the savannah. So I would prefer more open grasslands instead of dense foliage.

There are forest in Kenya indeed, but i think you should have a foliage combo for the savana section and another one for the forest's exhibit. That is just a combination of both. Oh and i would remove the pampas grass.

So, I made an exhibit for Dromedary Camels, but it's too big for only them, and I want to add another animal to the exhibit, what would you recommend? Dama Gazelle, Barbary Sheep, Horned Scimitar Orix or another different?

I will add dama gazelles or some kind of desert ground birds if there are any.

Thank you! So, I'll put the dama gazelles. And I hope to show this zoo if everything works properly.

Anyone have any ideas for improvements in this exhibit, especially with ground foliage, and if I should make a zoo with this theme? I know the location isn't thought out well at all, as I made the exhibit on a whim after seeing how the grass and golden conebush looked together. The trees are just arbitrarily picked placeholders.

I definitely like it. Its a sort of warm scrubby theme. I cant really suggest improvements until i know what it could be for.

The animal in the exhibit is a Thylacine (though I was planing on replacing it with a Thylacoleo, once someone makes one) which wasn't really living in such an environment, but the idea for the potential zoo with the theme is mainly about extinct ungulates.

To be honest I wouldnt really change anything about it except maybe add a little platform or some wide rocks to lay on.

I would definitely add some enrichment and the big flat rocks would work really well too. overall quite a nice exhibit.

Oh and another thing, I'd add some more ground foliage, more specifically more long grasses etc.

Hope this sort of helped ;)

You will respect my authoratah.

I would carefully add some really large palms and delete those tall trees. But if this dosn't fit your location I'm not sure what you could do. :)
