I’m not super into them but they are cool, and I do pick up one every once in a while.
That goat was worth 300$ before they re-released it in that series!
Franklin Park zoo did something like that a while ago. They have this whole paved path area that's pretty substantial going from near the Kiwis to the Condors in some more forested area. For a couple years they had a dino themed walk where they brought in like at least 50 dino models. then they made it giant bugs, which didn't do too well, and it's been closed since covid. The bugs and dinos are gone. I really wish they'd put some habitats down there because right now it's just a really big chunk of unused space.Well damn thats alot. And alot of canadian ones

I think they should make some big exhibit out of it, but I have a hard time deciding what they could add into the space. Like what does the sister location, Stone Zoo, not have. Then what do local zoos not have either. I could only think of a couple different possibilities:
- Moose, no zoo nearby has any surprisingly for New England
- Bison, maybe Bronx Zoo and others could lend some animals for a new herd
- Arctic penguins, considering they are getting new African penguins I doubt it
- Seals or sea lions are always popular
- Keeping with the bird theme maybe they add some more aviaries? Considering bird world, waterfowl ponds, cranes, and jungle world I don’t think Franklin park is itching for more birds.
- A new area, like maybe North America. Once again Stone Zoo has Siera Modre which is Mexican/ American desert. But it’s plausible
Maine WIldlife park does! maybe they could give them a rescue.
Roger WIlliams could too
I would love that but they're probably extremely pricey to keep due to the huge building costs, salt water costs, and the temperature requiremnt.
NEAQ is pretty close by and kinda steal all the good ocean animals. Though they are getting African penguins which NEAQ has as well so its not impossible.
I would love that but it probably wouldn't be too popular with general visitors
Would love this too!
Maybe they could move some of their South American species and add more to a new Amazon themed area?
Actually if they made a smaller “jungle world” for smaller monkeys and birds that would be cool. Would probably be like the jungle world at Roger Williams.
Actually something cool could be if they got a rhino species.
I wish I had a great dino park near me, the closest thing is a bunch of grossly oversized animatronic dinosaurs in a small theme park but it has a tacky feel to it. Went once went it opened and never bothered again. Same with actual natural history museums, my 'local' one has a trex and a I think a stegosaurus in a kids area but I had to go to north america to see one of the proper musuems so I got to chance to learn and see for myself a wide range of dinosaurs. Still a casual dino fan but cool to see.Well damn thats alot. And alot of canadian ones

For the zoo im building, yeah its a much larger area than i expected. At first, i thought - oh a small dinosaur area to showcase local fossil history. Nope, its basically a quarter of the entire zoo dedicated to a static dinosaur area showcasing the canadian fossils where a lot comes from alberta where the zoo is based. Apparently the dinosaur park is dated back to the 1930's where there was hundreds of dinosaurs but the designs aged really really badly. An example is the last remaining orginal dinosaur statue - dinny the brontosaurus:
What is thaaaaat
Yeah absolutely ridiculousI’m not super into them but they are cool, and I do pick up one every once in a while.

A goat worth $300? 
Like really? I should of kept my old lego kits.

it only came in one set back in like the early 2000s and no one bought it at the time. Wait 20 years and that goat is worth a ton cuz there's a ton of demand and not a lot of supply.
The london natural History Museum is amazing tho. Was there in 2023 and i can really recommend it, they got alot of famous fossils like the original Archaeopteryx, the deinocheirus arms and sophie the stegosaurus aswell as alot of marine reptiles that mary anning found back in the day.
I did actually consider the london museum as I've heard great things about it but after hearing the loss the Diplodocus Fossil, I instead went to the museum with the original - the Carnegie museum in pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The sheer abundance of fossils there was outstanding with 5 galleries dedicated to fossils and provided some wonderful photo opportunities with almost zero crowds in the middle of summer
Im pretty certain they still had it when i was there, just not in the main area but further backI did actually consider the london museum as I've heard great things about it but after hearing the loss the Diplodocus Fossil, I instead went to the museum with the original - the Carnegie museum in pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Hey @Marvinb , how’s your fantasy world coming along? Need any more ideas?
Your stuff is really impressive. I absolutely suck at sculpting. And drawing. And really any form of art except building.
I would totally buy some of your sculptures if I wasn’t so far away. Idk how it would hold up going across the Atlantic. Besides, I bet they’d charge a ton for international shipping.
EDIT: How the heck did I misspell Hey as Bye

.If you wanna get into sculpting i can really recommend Northoftheborder and Aceofclay on Yt, they make videos sharing their whole process
The stuff that i ship is usually made so it can be either taken apart into seperate pieces and/or made from a clay that stays flexible after curing so delicate stuff like fingers and such cant break of
Some kind of snake with a mace on it’s tailI mean if you like throwing out ideas im very much open for them
I toyed with the idea of a snake character aswell, but they kinda have the same problem as birds, just even more
Oh… didn’t think of that…I toyed with the idea of a snake character aswell, but they kinda have the same problem as birds, just even more
Well they can wrap themselves around stuff?
