Maybe a few more grasses but otherwise it looks quite nice.

Zebrasorus is teh best evur11

Lots of trees and bushes at the back and a few along the side walls, but relatively little foliage except for some sparse grass in the interior where they spend most of thier time.

Still a work in progress, what do you feel about this building (the uncompleted glass wall in front will be a view of a gigantic coral reef aquarium)?

It's really good! Is that just a random exhibit or part of a zoo?

Long time I haven't post so much in such few days! Ah! ZT2! When you crawl your way back into our hearts! ;)

Seriously, I want to undertake a new project : an Australian/Oceanian-themed zoo. I want our opinion on 2 questions :

(1) Should I make an Australian zoo based in Australia or located it in South-Canada (with more Inside exhibit like the Toronto zoo does) ;

(2) what australian foliage would be great or any more easily find replacement?

Thank you! :D

I'm also working on an australian zoo set in Merlbourne. I'm using a mix of scrub foliage and coastal palms with a touch of temperate trees xD

Hmm to be honest i don't think i'm using any foliage from Oceania... perhaps some of BF australian grasses but not more than that. I've only worked in the scrublands and wetlands section so far, and i'm having trouble finding a good foliage combination for the temperate forest section myself :/

Mostly, my trouble right now is to find my way between my old laptop, the new one and allthose downloads!!! xD

But I do see your point, Zoocrazy. Ill make some research, if I find something, I can let you know if you want?

Thankyou, AVCDPS, I'll look for those! :)

hey guys, for NZ I would recommend tall tree ferns, ground ferns, and other semi-tropical foliage. In NZ there are very few native flowering plants. And for Aussie, it really depends what area. You could go tropical (I recommend the same stuff as NZ), outback or scrub-temperate forest.
