That looks really cool so far CI :)

This is sort of a question for here and extinct animal questions, so ill just put it here.
Would it be plausible to house woolly mammoths and elasmotherium in a southern Florida climate? The animals would be shaved of their woolly coats, left with only short hair. They would also have access to a cooled indoor shelter that can be completely shut off from the outside to trap cool air.

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!!
Use lots if concrete walls and floors, metal fences, etc. I recommend using snowleos carnivore house, but I'm not sure if it's available. For ideas, look at show and tells, animal encyclopedia here, and inspiration library at Gaia.

Aladeen: I think if you also add some more shade (like shade structures and trees) and some wallows you could make it, although the animals will probably be more active when it's colder.

CI: I would remove the reeds, they weren't around at the time.

It's not meant to be a perfect reconstruction, but they do look out of place so I'll remove them. :)

Hey guys! :D After I finish my current park, I'm doing one set in North Carolina and one set in Maryland. In your opinion, what biomes should I use as base for each to look the most like those regions? I was thinking temperate forest but I cant find any reskins :'(


Edit: just found one! :D Still would love to hear what you think though! :D



Thanks! :D

I've never build an exhibit for prehistoric animals before so i need a bit of advice. Here are some questions:

- Is ok to mix Prenocephale with Homalocephale in the same exhibit?
- What kind exhibit would be suitable for this kind of animals? Forest or mountain?
- What kind of folaige should i use for this dinosaur's exhibit?

Hey guys I'm back! I'm currently working on a Japanese zoo, so do you guys have any suggestions for foliage? Other than the obvious bamboo.

Also, Zoocrazy:
- It should be fine to house them together, they are both very similar animals. The Prenocephale may be more aggressive so try to keep more Homalocephale than Prenocephale.
- An exhibit with a few patches of foliage with lot's of open space should be good. Make sure it has a lot of rocks and is fairly hilly, remember these animals came from a scrubland.
- Some small bushes, ferns, and some other plants that inhabit savannas or scrub lands should be good!

Well I do see why you would've thought that. There were forests in the area but the majority was scrub land with ferns and some bushes.

I think i'm going to make something in between then. A mostly scruby padock but with spots with trees for shade.

Any ideas then for the outline of the Roadrunner exhibit ? ( It's an outdoor exhibit ;) )

I think you could go with a simple aviary with desert foliage.

ZC; some consider both to be the same species ;)
