Orcas . Do I need to explain ?

Is this a good enough foliage combo for a marine park ? :

Looks good to me, though the Karaka is being waaaay overused IMO. I'd rather see something else, however that isn't too easy. Maybe adding something medium-high makes it looks less boring. Spike grass, bean plant or quila bamboo maybe?

Is that a vaquita?? xD I love vaquitas, they are really cute. The foliage combination is good, although i'm not so sure about the karaka bush for a marine park, but the palms and ground foliage are definetly a yes xD You can look at some of Sophies marine parks here: https://sites.google.com/site/rubensophiedesigns/Zoos

Maybe you can get some ideas from it.

since Naturalis Historia will be shown in a not so close future, i came up with a couple more ideas.
one is a zoo located in Australia with a huge safari area where african animals roam free and of course native animals. i'll have to wait for the ecualyptus forest biome though, because i'm curious about it.
then i was planning a classic generic zoo with the Karaka-guoia combination, although it's too mainstream i've never used it so let's give it a try

@Dragonfire I would add in a grass of some type. Personally I would elect for Sophie's imported Oblivion grass but it is up to you.

I think I'd switch out the karaka for Sophie's temperate tree bush. The one with more detail. I think I'd also add a small tree maybe a Japanese Maple tree from the WWDU pack. I'd also add a variety of rocks. I would try to not use just one type. Try finding a few that look good together or even reskin one yourself.

However, IIRC, these sharks aren‘t kept in an indoor tank but in an outdoor one? If I were you trevelynh, I‘d go for tiger sharks. Just as impressive and way easier to keep ;)
Well, i do have TTR's Tiger shark.

Trevelnyh , Never use humpbacks unless they are for temporary stay at rehabs . As it's unrealistic imo , and I don't think you're supposed to keep them but rather release them .

This is about the worst zoo mix I can think of. No zoo would keep these animals together.
