The Build-It Zoo

Hello hello hello. Today we will announce the winner of this week's poll. I have to admit, the results surprised me:

Flamingos - 1 - so sorry guys. Looks like we won't enjoy y'alls flamenco anytime soon

Aldraba giant tortoise - 2 - oh my, looks like slow and steady doesn't always win the race

Nile monitors - 4 - we have a winner. And an observant one at that. Let's give a nice round of applause to our contestants

Thank you for your donations at the Boogaloo Zoo. The animals are happy, too

(I truly thought that the flamingos would win)

Thanks. DeLadySigner has an easy video about how to make them
I really should learn to go watch others stuff and take some inspiration.. I guess that might be possible now that its summer.
The domes I have made has not been on your level! So I will stick and watch some of your stuff.

Wow, thanks. But as many have said, practice makes perfect. So keep up your stuff, as well
 
Ok, the Nile monitors, wow, I wish I can live in my own animals' habitat😆:

Not 1, but 2 habitats for Nile monitors. A large pool for each pair, a cozy cave, everything they need. The odd trenches are for the staff to be able to cross to the other side.

And now for the rest of the zoo:

The small power/water facilities for the new habitats, and a garden to hide it all.

Updated the Congo habitat (okapis and bongos). I changed some of the trees to make it look more natural (thanks to tips from @NZFanatic and @KönigDerKaffeebohnen)

And the whole zoo itself. Y'all can see the unfinished habitat in the tip right that'll feature the big star of Tropical Africa. And on the bottom left will be the next section for the zoo, which will feature a host of mysterious, beautiful animals.


We hope that you're enjoying your visit at Boogaloo Zoo. All your donations will be used to further improve the zoo, thereby ensuring that many of our animals will live comfortably and also to help conservation efforts around the world.

So, looking at the habitats, you may ask: "Why are they huge? They're tiny animals"

Well, part of it is i wasn't thinking when I built it, but also because I want to breed them and get a cool amount of CCs to hopefully acquire rarer species. Since they're huge, I won't worry about space issues when they have their young (don't they have about 7 each time or am I thinking of Komodo dragons?). By the way, I'm keeping any leucistic animals born, like what a real zoo would do, and I may make a backstage area just for them. Not sure

they’re good animals for CC so I understand!

Some updates around the zoo, including a pond/lake, a tiny gift shop. I also acquired some desert scorpions, leaf insects, centipedes, and giant snails.

One of the females in her cave, and both females gave birth, with a little surprise:

This here is Blizzard, so I moved her to a little out of the way enclosure:

In other news my bongo was walking along the staff path that crosses the habitat to reach 2 more habitats:

And I had a very special visitor: Me (the blonde dude)

Monday again. Are you ready kids? (Aye-aye, captain)

So far, we've had a wonderful trek through the forests of Africa, coming across partying lemurs, finding an elusive family of pygmy hippos, explored the darkest areas of the Congo, and found lush grounds for Nile monitors (Land Before Time vibes in that one).

Our adventure through Africa is coming to an end, but not before we add 1 more, just 1 more species to our magnificent roster.

Let's give it up for:

  1. Bonobo - imagine a chimpanzee that went on a diet and stopped lifting weights
  2. Western chimpanzee - cute, yet very territorial. Don't underestimate them
  3. Western lowland gorilla - a majestic animal, patrolling the deepest jungles of Africa

We hope that you have enjoyed your walk on the wild side of Tropical Africa. The zoo is working really hard to help preserve these stupendous species and restore their former habitats. Thank you for your contributions.
