This thread is where I reveal the animals that will be in the zoo, but my fellow zoochatters choose how I create it (eg. which animals go together and where, and the style and theming). I think it will help me with my zoo building skills and learn more about habitat construction. But enough of this introduction, here are the animals that will be in the zoo. The reply with the most likes will be built( to make it fair I will not be liking any of the posts): African Bush Elephant African Lion Grizzly Bear Plains Zebra Reticulated Giraffe Common Hippopotamus Eastern Timber Wolf Thompson's Gazelle Southern Ostrich Common Warthog Bornean Orangutan Jaguar Giant Panda Red Panda Snow Leopard Polar Bear Orinoco Crocodile American Flamingo African Penguin Asian Elephant Indian Rhinoceros Galapagos Giant Tortoise Aardvark American Alligator Red Kangaroo Blue Wildebeest Bald Eagle Sea Otter Pronghorn American Bison California Sea Lion Koala Komodo Dragon Amur Tiger Giant Anteater Gemsbok Lowland Gorilla Western Chimpanzee Ring-Tailed Lemur Cheetah African Leopard Meerkat African Wild Dog Spotted Hyena Bottlenose Dolphin Harbor Seal Llama Vìcuna Beluga Pacific Walrus West Indian Manatee Southern Cassowary Black Caiman Blacktip Reef Shark Eastern Bongo Pygmy Hippopotamus Maned Wolf Andean Bear Capybara Malayan Tapir Binturong Malayan Sun Bear Emu Let's hear those ideas!

Mmm... are Giant Anteater/Maned Wolf/Capybara compatible in ZT2? Sadly I don't have access to the creator content, have to use the standard packs. If so, then I vote for that since I like that particular combo. I would say Orinoco Croc, American Flamingo, GGT, Andean Bear, and Llama/Vicuna as neighbors for a nice South American complex. Far as style/theme I don't know what you have available so hard to say!
UPDATE: Added Moose, Ocelot, Florida Black Bear, Nile Crocodile, Okapi, Gila Monster, Central American Squirrel Monkey and Mandrill.
I have multiple themes, such as Savanna, Jungle, Arctic/Antarctic, and Chinese themes. Since this thread even confused me, let me clarify. I will tell you 5 animals and you guys describe and exhibit and I will design it. If you see any other animals on the list that you think will go well in a mixed species exhibit, feel free to add them. The post with the most likes will be the exhibit that will be designed. This will continue until all the animals are in the zoo and then we will start again, but with more or less animals. The biome is temperate grassland and is located in Long Island, New York.
I have made this before and I really liked how it turned out. Basically, I built a big cliff and on one side I built a waterfall flowing into a central waterhole which the animals would drink from (Thompson's gazelles and Masai giraffes) and on the other side, I put some pygmy hippos. I gave the hippos some land and a water part. There was a bridge that would overlook the entire exhibit and a few windows where you could look into the water. I made it look like a swamp with mangroves and on the land, I put a savannah.
