Hello Everyone! I’m a newer member to the forums. I usually look up ideas, play games, and spend time with my family. But that’s not currently my case. As of right now, I'm planning to make a basic Fantasy Zoo on this site. Not an over-the-top Zoo, just a normal traditional Fantasy Zoo. So i need some help with the following: How to make a good walk through / description of the exhibits. What are common Complex themes from Zoos you visited such as: Zoo Geographic Based: African Savanna, Asian Islands, etc. Taxonomic Based: Big Cats, Primates, etc. Biome Based: Tropical Rainforest, Desert, etc. What kinds of Animals to include in the attractions. Any help would be appreciated. I’ve been following the site for a while now, and making ideas for a little while shorter, so once again, any help would be appreciated. Thanks! (P.s. Meaning of username is that i like to play Frontier Developments Planet Zoo)
Here's an example of how most people do walkthroughs: "You walk under a fallen tree and see several reptile exhibits, the first underwater viewing and a rocky land area and backdrop. it houses Freshwater Crocodiles........" Geographic African Savannah: giraffes, zebras, Hippopotamuses, Red River Hogs, gazelles, storks, rhinos, ostriches, watusis Australian Outback: kangaroos, Emus, wallabies General Africa: penguins, cormorants, flamingos, ostriches, rhinos, zebras, tortoises, lapwings, ducks, ibises, hornbills, Hamerkops, rollers, spoonbills, pygmy-geese, duikers, kudus, Cheetahs, warthogs, dik-diks, Lions, elephants, Okapis, lemurs, sifakas, colobuses, crocodiles, Chimpanzees, Sitatungas, Barbary Sheep, camels, oryxes, guineafowl Great Plains: bison, Elk, prairie dogs, Gila Monsters, Black-footed Ferrets, deer Taxonomic Bird House: parrots, parakeets, guineafowl, Hamerkops, starlings, rollers, mynas, rails, kingfishers, pigeons, toucanets, aracaris, turacos, terns, partridges, fruit doves, Sunbitterns, finches, orioles, weavers, pheasants, lorikeets, ducks, gallinules, bulbuls, white-eyes, birds-of-paradise, ibises, flamingos, hoopoes, lapwings, spoonbills, turnstones, and shamas Herpetarium: salamanders, vipers, turtles, toads, monitors, cobras, tree frogs, rattlesnakes, beaded lizards, bullfrogs, crocodiles, anacondas, pythons, boas, anoles, tortoises, caimans, crocodile lizards, geckos, skinks, mastigures, sailfin lizards, newts, dart frogs Primates: gorillas, sakis, tamarins, Aye-Ayes, gibbons, orangutans, lemurs, sifakas, De Brazza's Monkeys, howler monkeys, and Siamangs Biome I don't really see many of these.
Here's two more that I just came up with: Expedition Asia: Gharials, gibbons, macaques, Malayan Tapirs, Red Pandas, Snow Leopards Tigers Rainforests of the World: Tropical house with colobuses, birds, mangabeys, Ocelots, porcupines, sakis, sloths, tamarins, and titis
After some consideration, i decided i should also add a Aquarium and a Safari Park to the Zoo. Again, i just want a normal, basic Zoo, so if anyone has any ideas that would be appreciated.
Something that would be cool if you wanted is a safari for Asia or the Americas instead of just the typical African animals. I'm not much of a fish person, so I won't be a big help with the aquarium. Let me know if you need any more ideas.
