Hi, this is my first zoo, its in challenge mode. There's no real plan, I'm just making it up as I go along.
It's very much a work in progress, those buildings and paths that are just randomly placed will be reworked as I go along. I started the zoo off with just the central mountain and a pack of Arctic Wolves, which have since been joined by a flock of dall sheep. This whole area needs improving. On the left hand side is a Reindeer Enclosure with an elevated walkway, the zoo hit a major financial crisis when I was building this, so its a bit basic and I'm going to make some major changes to it all.
Next up came the pandas, which rescued the zoo from financial disaster. I'm mostly happy with this enclosure, but I plan to put in a custom shelter, expand it out the back, and merge it with the mountains on the right.
Then I put together the first section of staff buildings, mostly just experimenting with elements until I settled on a design that I was happy with. This contains two exhibits, with Boas and Poison Frogs. Drinks and Food (I'll probably swap these stores soon), and a seating area. Behind is a staff room, mechanic workshop and keeper's hut. I need to do something with the power and water here, and add more trees.This style will probably continue around this part of the park.
Then came the Polar Bears, where my ambitious plans ended up eating time, and are still unfinished, but are almost there. Just some more rockwork to do, especially on the ice cave tunnels to the viewing areas. I will blend in the mountains with the rest of the landscape when I get time, and inclination. I was in need of a rest from this exhibit!
Whilst having a break from the Polar Bear complex, I've made a start on the main entrance, still lots to do on this as well
