What plants give a tropical Florida Feel.

You may use palmetto from Wild China, plenty of logs and roots, some plants from Island Excursions, duckweed from ZTABC.

I'm trying to recreate the ecosystem of Hell Creek in ZT2, and while I'm familiar with most of the formation's larger organisms, I'm interested in knowing what kinds of plants and smaller fauna were common in Hell Creek 67-66 million years ago. Can anyone help me? Thanks. :)
Here you have a bit of advice. :)

So, I want to make a mixed exhibit, so I was thinking if you guys have any ideas on good combinations ? Thanks, Guys ! :D


There are plenty of combinations: you may create a biotope tank with different fish from the region (like Amazon, middle Europe, Tanganika, Indopacific reefs etc.), Antarctica penguins, savannah (for example ostrich + zebras), small sharks + rays, butterfly house and many others. You may try to find inspiration in real life zoos.

I think that was a joke Robbie. xD

Or seals and penguins? Approximatively the same as the walrus and penguins one.
Okapis and duikers?
Marabou Storks and Giraffes?

Although this may sound like advertizing, I suggest you check my literature as I listed several species of foliage there.

Anyway, fow the lowlands I'd say tall angiosperms and some bushes, with palms scattered around, while for the uplands araucarias or dawn redwood and some cycads, maybe ginkgoes too.
For ground foliage, I'd go mainly with ferns and horsetails, and for aquatic plants, water lilies and cabbage and bald cypress.

Thanks, I've already read your story and it was very helpful. Also, while many of the smaller faunas of Hell Creek aren't available in ZT2, I was thinking I could replace them with similar creatures that are available. Do you think the honey badger would work as a Didelphodon replacement?

I'd actually go with the European or Japanese badger, since they have longer snouts that resemble Didelphodon more closely IMO.

Is there a bird I could use to fill in for Avisaurus?

I used Buny's Archaeopteryx in my ingame photography thread.

Just downloaded it. Thanks Furka. :)

The rest I think I have figured out. I can use UT2's Velociraptor to represent Acheroraptor, and the EE olm for Habrosaurus, among others.

Hi guys I'm making an old-fashioned carnivore house with renovated lion and tiger exhibits!! So I want to make a modern indoor area for lions and tigers !
BUT I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO MAKE IT!!!
'Cause most of zoos with modern lion&tiger exhibits haven't got an indoor viewing area for guests!!
Please, if you have some ideas tell me or send pictures!!

Thanks as one of my zoos, once called Beach Land but renamed Tropica, is set in Florida and is next to wetlands and the coast.

About the Hell Creek reconstruction I mentioned earlier that I was working on, I have pics of it by now and would appreciate some feedback. What do you think?

Note that it's far from complete, and I have yet to add any animals.
