That's what I thought, just feels strange to put cattle behind glass. Though that may or may not be because i've been around cattle for...ages. Benefits of living in the south I guess.

I agree it's way too short but perhaps try a cable, chain link, horse or wooden fence instead of glass?

Or you could put a small moat behind the fence.

I'm not slow! That's just my moe!

Try to find a fence thats about shoulder level so the horns don't clip through it.

I found a larger fence that i'm happy with guys, it's about wither or upper shoulder height i'd say. Thanks for all the help.

Hey guys! What kind of animal should live in this exhibit? I've thought of Drills or some other primates.

I think drills should be fine. You can't do much for climbing primates as there is no barrier on the back fence.

So I'm getting ready to build a tropical animal house and I was thinking about somehow incorporating a few of the reptile terrariums from Feral Designs. Thing is, I would like to see if I can somehow build around one to make it match the aesthetic I'm going to use. Is that possible?

Hey guys, I've been working on my first Orangutan exhibit ever, and I have a few questions about the outdoor exhibit. Should I add a few more climbing structures or poles? Do those big rocks in the background look good or should I hange them?

They look good to me. I would add a few more rope or climbing things, like those big trees.

What kind of sharks would work best for a tropical reef aquarium?

It depends on the location your reef is themed after. For Indo-Pacific reefs, the whitetip reef-blacktip reef-zebra shark is probably the most common combo.
For Caribbean, I suppose you could do nurse and lemon.
Sandbar could work for both.

I honestly didn't think about that. A Caribbean themed park doesn't sound too bad, are there alot of downloads available for that area?

So I'm planning on building a Caribbean themed zoo. Thing is, I don't know if I should just cover the islands themselves or if I should include animals from countries like Costa Rica that border the Caribbean Sea. I know it'll give me more variety for animals. What do you all think?
* Thanks Furka for the idea.
