Well, in zoos there is normally only one bull per group AFAIK. Maybe you could rotate the bulls, so only one bull lives together with the females at one time.

I do not think keeping two males is a good idea if you also host a group of females. Pheromones and other swabs would, in real life, make the males aroused and could become aggressive towards other males or the zookeepers. :)

Don't know if this the right place to ask this and I apologize if it isn't but what would be a good name for an park featuring native Missouri wildlife? I'm horrible at names.

No good hero is a one-trick phony.

Where is the park located? That's generally my modus operandi, pick a location that doesn't have a zoo already and name your zoo after it. You can also name it after a person, if they are a benefactor or owner or something. The latter option works better for smaller zoos, if you ask me.

Well I'm thinking about calling the park Taum Sauk Mountain Wildlife Park. Taum Sauk is the largest mountain here but it's alittle small by mountain standards. Anywho, I was thinking about giving my visitor center a log cabin feel to it. But I'm not sure how'd I would actually accomplish that. Any ideas folks?

Download this and use some invisible elevated paths and you can make it seem like a traditional log cabin! =D (Its a Log pack made by Yukon)

Right now I'm currently brainstorming for a Madagascar Wildlife Preserve for Madagascar fauna/flora as well as Indo-Pacfic wildlife. Know any good Madagascar flora mods because I'm really lacking on finding some good trees. I got Baobabs and the Ocotillos but that's about it

There's a Mascareia pack out there somewhere. It has a lot of Malagasy Plants in it.

I've got that mod already. I think I've got all the available Madagascar type mods I might be missing a few lemurs.

Finally starting to build on Northwick again after hitting a inspirational block, so I started dabbling, this was meant to be a lynx enclosure, and I still might try to make it into one, but I wanted to know other's thoughts on the enclosure and what you think might fit well into it. The fence is a "feline" fence, with the wires at the top to prevent them climbing out, but then again, I don't really care about whether they can realistically get out or not, I like to make natural looking enclosures that are appealing to the eye.

You should put some sort of climbing or scratching enrichment in the enclosure

This is just a WIP, of course if lynx are going in, I'm going to add more, this was just a base.

Ooh okay I thought it was kinda weird that it was empty now I know why.

The fence shouldn't be an issue, I've seen that kind used for lynxes in real life.
The exhibit just feels a bit huge for lynxes IMO, but it might be because it's empty ATM so it looks bigger.

It's one of my smaller exhibits actually but yeah, it looks large. But maybe it is a tad too big for lynxes, even once I put more foliage in, I didn't like it's look, so I might adapt it for wolves?

That was a suggestion I got from Wes, maybe even Mountain Lions.
