Orcas . Do I need to explain ?

Thanks , Furka :) !

As for rhinos and elephants , I think it's ok for them to share an exhibit . Although , I think it's best to keep the number of rhinos small as I heard of Elephants attacking Rhinos . If I were you I would do a seperate exhibit for safety measures .

Never heard of elephants attacking rhinos, though you should indeed keep the number of rhino small because they are solitary animals. If it were Black rhinos, I‘d doubt since those are more aggressive, but White rhinos are fine AFAIK

There were multiple stories about elephants roguing and goring animals, particularly rhinos and tossing their bodies around etc.

I think in a zoo it would be fine, since you usually only have a single bull that's kept, and I believe the stories were about bull elephants on the losing end being frustrated.

yeah, that's why i wanted to keep just a small herd of female elephants with 2 female rhinos (and maybe a male rhino). they should be less aggressive then bull elephants, especially since they don't have calves to protect.

Artio fence as decorative for sure. I think looking at the Ushindi Marathon entry will give you loads of inspiration!

Thank you for the set, Azrael!

Artio fence? Was there a pack of fences with the artiodactyla pack? I only got the animals.

I think there was a pack of artyo objects made by Snowleo that had a couple of fences. Is actually a pretty good pack, but i don't know if it is avaible anymore.

Yes, there were one fence, an animal gate, an African house, etc in there. If it‘s available somewhere, I bet it‘s at ZTABC.

Snowleo Giraffe house it's my favourite when it comes to savannah themed areas.
for jungles, i would go with dark wooden sets.
