I second fridooh's suggestions.

Some pictures are really amazing like the ones with the penguins, but some others are too dark. Other than that this was a really amazing update!

That update was really fabulous! The underwater pics were beautiful, especially the one with the penguins.

Great update! The underwater pics looks beautiful, but I especially love the mating & breeding pics (the one with the forest background). Great work!

Sorry for long inactivity, I've lost interest in Zoo Tycoon for some time. But now I'm back, and here is the update with crabs:




This is Christmas Island, small isle on the Indian Ocean.

Not having many native small mammals, on Christmas Island their role is taken by colourful, red land crabs.

These crustaceans spend most of their lives in burrows in soil of local rainforests, eating organic debris.

But one time, when it's time to breed, every single crab on the island joins others to form a gigantic legion wandering to the beach.

Obviously, anthropogenic objects may make much of problem, but this doesn't stop the animals, which still go, sometimes managing to cross the street...

Posted Image

...and sometimes not.

Posted Image

And here are the cliffs - this is the place, where the animals will go to the beacha and the sea, where they will breed.

It is a short migration, but for a small animal it can be comparable to those "big" wanders. After getting to the beach, crabs breed and die, but it's aother story.

I didn't saw this topic and I regret that! :D
I love the concept, and the last update is amazing, the foliage, the city, the 'story'.

Great job! :)
