The thing is a lot of zoo's have the natural biome and most scrub grasses won't look natural in the exhibit. I'd use the same grasses you use around the zoo. Or if its indoors, I'd probably go with some of the grasses from Sophie's Oblivion plant packs.

Thank you for the set, Azrael!

Even for scrubby areas, I use mostly green grasses, mixed with scrub foliage. There are few available scrubby grasses that look good, and savannah grass looks bad anywhere but on savannah terrain.

I guess i will have to try the mixture then because i'm not convinced about the savanah look of the exhibit, i think more green around will suit it better. By the way, what scrubby grasses are? I don't think i have any :/

Thanks CRG for all the help and advices, i will check it tonight and see how it goes. I don't think i'm going to use it for the maned wolf exhibit, but it will be perfect for the Mara & Rhea enclosure.

So I have the location for my next zoo. :)

This part of California is especially noted as a tourist center. Its mediterranean climate and considerable wealth should make this zoo an interesting build. Since it's in the middle of a big tourist trap (the third most populated county in California as of 2010), I've decided to make it a zoo about California, so I'm hoping to have lots of native and introduced species there. I was also born there so it will have sentimental value. :) (For some reason I really like making zoos in California.)

Knowing how amazing everything you create in ZT2 is, I'm dying to see it Zoz! I'm still trying to work on Etosha myself.
