Eastborro Zoo

(A Work In Progress)

Greetings Traveller! And welcome to the Eastborro Zoo! The project started as a small farm owned by Oswald McLatter in 1994. He had a passion for animals and had quite a collection of cool and unusual creatures. For some time he held the title of the ‘Animal King of Maryland.’ He sadly passed away in 2009, and the land was sold to the town to build an apartment complex. The builders stumbled upon his farm, and notified the town about it. They funded the construction of a zoo, showcasing all of his animals, plus more, in the fashion he would have dreamed of!

So far, the zoo has a small Australian section at the entrance with a mixed habitat of Wallabies, Kangaroos, and an Emu, as well as a Cassowary habitat on the right hand side. To the left there is a North American section with Cougars, Red Foxes, Armadillos, and Rattlesnakes. In the opposite direction there is the Children’s Zoo with Porcupines, Aldabra Tortoises, and Prairie Dogs. Following the right-side trail you’ll find the Asian Expedition. Currently only housing an under-construction Komodo Dragon habitat.

I am calling upon the help of the community:

There is a building for the indoor viewing for the Komodo Dragons. It’s roughly 8x12 meters in size and I have no idea what to put there. I need some ideas from the people!

Well some komodo dragons would be a good start :ROFLMAO: A water pool, tropical plants, tropical rocks, and generally either dirt or sand terrain.

Example of a indoor komodo dragon habitat from a past build of mine, the background is a custom media screen:

To clarify, I meant the part where the guests are 😅

Though the indoor dragon habitat isn’t entirely done either so that does help!

Ah I missed the indoor viewing part 😅 I like to have a tropical hut like indoor area so the wooden planks path, natural looking wood, bamboo or thatch material for walls and roof. The Dwarf Caiman can act as a komodo dragon looking statue since we don't have any suitable sign or statue for the dragon.
 
Guys, I have a little builder's block. Any ideas for what to add next would be appreciated. I have a start of an asian section going and the Wonders of the San Marcos if that helps
 
Today I finally got myself the Oceania pack and built a Kiwi House in Eastborro! It’s located in the small section in between the Cassowaries and Mixed AU habitat. See if you can guess what zoo I based it on 👀

Also, @Pentoleaf , I built your playground idea! It’s next to the crafts building in the Children’s Zoo and it’s called Play like a Prairie Dog! Kids can burrow and scout like a Prairie Dog and learn about the importance of grasslands with an education station.

Today the Eastborro Zoo has opened its Lar Gibbon habitat! These guys can swing through their climbing frame, frolic around on the ground, or hide away in a backstage area! (that has nothing in it atm)

Along with a couple habitat enrichments, I added an Oceania barrel with some dry grasses sticking out to act as a barrel of hay. I also put a bucket of watermelons and some oranges on their bedding.
