    I used African Buffalo to build my CC, currently have 180k so spending some of if get the more expensive animals. The enclosure is big enough to have a big herd of giraffe and young.

    I'm hoping to recreate parts of Paignton Zoo at some point. It has a nice mix of older and newer enclosures, so should be fun to do!

    So busy, wish I had more time to play. But looks like Sunday mornings are the best to get a couple of hours in.

    Finally finished the giraffe and buffalo main enclosures. Just need to sort out the offshow areas but they can wait till I have a need.

    Wanted a different fencing something that you'd expect them to be kept behind.

    Aardvark enclosures to pad out the mega fauna I have in the zoo. Building on the right hand side guest can walk in and see the aardvarks sleeping area.

    Next on the plan is to start African rain forest area east of the giraffes and hippos, starting with new enclosures for the Bongos and Pygmy hippos. Once they have been moved over I am going to redo the entrance area and build a new grizzly bear enclosure.

    Need to decide if I am keeping the gemsbok and nyala. Not sure where I will put them yet. Also need to sort out guest refunds again, as they are seriously eating into my profits again.

    Overview, next up is creating the African rainforest area, with pygmy hippos, bongos, okapi and mandrills. Hoping to run it up the right hand side with guest walking through a winding path with lots of trees and glimpse in to see the wildlife. With an indoor house for pygmy hippos.

    I have always been fascinated by the older style zoos, such as the tierparks and zoo's in europe in places like Germany and Holland and how they are being brought up to date whillst keeping the older asthetic look. I based my zoo on them.

    What do you guys think? What enclosures do you think are for what species? I can post photos of enclosures as well if you guys would like.
