Leaf's Urban Jungle Set - San Cabrillo Zoo

Leaf's San Cabrillo Zoo - (V1. Urban Jungle)

Major Update 1: Urban Jungle & Entrance Plaza

Super excited to show off this section! While it isn't even my favorite part of the zoo, or anyone's for that rate, the Urban Jungle section is one that definitely has a lot of that old zoo charm. It was a fun challenge trying to channel the vibes of the historical section, of what used to be Elephant Mesa at the San Diego Zoo, and transform it into something that works for me in San Cabrillo Zoo.

Great work Leaf...you build so fast.

That was so soothing to watch, Leaf. I was in the perfect mood to just watch a 45-minute speedbuild this evening, and what beautiful work you've done on top of that. I love the little tunnel intersection between the two halves of their habitat!

 

[Leaf Productions]

Thank you both! The tunnel intersection was a suggestion by my good friend @President of Zoo (hoping that it tags him haha)

Welcome to Koallywood! This is our Koala section within the greater Australia section, a bit of a play on Koalafornia, but this time, some leitmotif's showcasing the stars of the show!

What kind of deal with the devil did you make to obtain that much talent?

The Tasmanian Devil went down to Georgia

Some of you guys are freaks of nature. I don't know where you find the patience to go into so much detail.

I have the desire to make my zoos look that good but not the will.

In the end you start to see the game as a living diorama simulator. It’s the same way people get with their little model train sets.

Maybe I have undiagnoed ADHD or something.

Then again, I'm not really architecturally inclined. I have a fine imagination but it's very "big picture"; layouts, habitats, that sort of thing. The little things elude me - building decorations, small-scale terrain modification, that sort of thing.

It's a Wombat day.

Wow you did not need to attack me like that

They're just a Platypus. They don't do much.

Woah! I love the use of viewing domes as little terrariums!

 

[k_kamilla_a]

Wow! This is so cool
What an amazing idea with Viewing Domes, I love it
Night shots the platypus habitat is magical

 

[SalamAnders]

I do wonder how you would open those terrariums
