What kind of zoo is best? One that looks more like a wildlife habitat or one designed to suit guests' needs? |

My zoo has no guests, and enormous heavily planted enclosures. So I prefer the first option. |

@Silverstone: I preffer zoos that suits the animals need. I like to make the enclosures as similar at their nature habitats as posible. I try to make the zoo realistic by building stuff like restaurants, bathrooms, gift shops as well, but at least for me the most important thing are the animals not the guests. I just hate zoos with small and bare enclosures with no foliages and manmade things all over it. But i guess at the end it depends on what you want to do with the zoo. @Franco: what about an african wildlife reserve or an australian theme zoo? |

So looking for tropical and temperate species suggestions for my Wetland Zoo. Also for Scottsdale Zoo. Suggestions not requests though. What you think would do well. Scottsdale is all savannah, scrub, and desert animals. |

Well for savanah, scrub and desert i would go all Africa There is a lot to choose from that continent but some animals i think could be great: scimitar horned oryx, addax, gerenuk, striped hyena, sand cat, barbary sheep, white rinoceros... and for savanah there are plenty if you are looking for southamaerican savanah i recomend maned wolf and giant anteater.And for wetlands you have to have some crocodiles and flamingos, i agree capybara is a good choice, and the snaping turtle too. |

Capybara is definately going to be in. Here is what I have so far. Bengal Tiger Capybara American Alligator Japanese Crane Flamingo by AD Indoor Butterfly house. Malayan Tapir Nilgai Crested Gibbon a few south american birds Gorilla chimp bongo Zebra Giraffe African Lion Okapi Lemur Bear Macaque Golden Lion Tamarin Guerza Diana Monkey Koala Tree Kangaroo Southern Cassowary A Tropical Pig from Artio cotton top tamarin llama Mountain Lion Asian Golden Cat American Black Bear American Otters I'd like to have a few more. I plan on seperating them into areas. With the main areas being Australia and New Zealand. Florida. South America. Allong with Africa. That and a primate House. What I have planned for Scottsdale so far Giraffe Zebra Red Hartebeest African Lion Crested Porcupine Banded Mongoose Collared Peccary Cheetah Mountain Lion Bobcat thomson's Gazelle Wildbeest Beisa African Wild Dog Emu Southern White Rhino Bighorn Sheep Axis Deer Red Kangaroo Nine Banded Armadillo Komodo Dragon Bat Eared Fox Grizzly Bear A type of Vulture Batelur I'd like a type of crane or ground bird that is found in drier environements also. Only I can't wait for any of the many cranes to be released so I need one that is already released other then Dutch Designs/Ludos. Edited by CRG, Apr 29 2013, 11:31 PM.

Actually thats the one I added that line about. I mean I like the bird but it doesn't seem to like the exhibits I build for it. It seems to take a long time to breed and they seem to kill eachother often or I put in less then I meant to. |

@CRG: both animals list are awesome... maybe you can try the shoebill instead of the grey crowned crane? I know is not exactly a ground bird, but to be honest nor are the cranes ![]() @ Dragonfire: that's up to you, but is more realistic if you have some and maybe a veteraniry center (even you are not going to use it in the real game though). |

LOL I meant I wanted a crane and a ground bird. Something like the guineafowl but breeds less. The Shoebill I'd want but doesn't it come from a more wet environment or can it handle heat and dry air as long as they got a pool? |

Well acording to Wikipedia it lives in waterlands from Sudan to Tanzania, and they are prominent in the west nile sub region... meaning they live in tropical climates so i guess they need humidity, maybe they aren't suitable for a dry enviorement, even with a pond. You can use Ostrichs as ground birds though
