Can I have more then one animal from this pack as long as their in the same habitat, I was going to do a Dik-Dik and Tortoise mixed habitat.Fantastic guys! Lovely to see both old and new faces hereCan't wait to see what everyone builds! To recap:
Zoolympic Games: Round 5 - Zookeeper's Favourite
October 15th - 30th
Create a habitat for one of the new DLC or anniversary species as if you are their zookeeper and this is your favouritest zoobaby.
Specifications for this round:
- Possible species include the African Leopard, Pallas Cat, Markhor, African Spurred Tortoise, Kirk's Dik-Dik, Coquerel's Sifaka, Spectacled Bear or Hamadryas Baboon.
- One habitat only.
- You may include other species within the habitat, but the Zookeeper's DLC/Anniversary animal should be the highlight or 'main event'.
IMPORTANT!
- If you submit an entry, you are kindly requested to join in the scoring. Here is an explainer of why this is so important.
- Use the template here to submit your entry. There is also a link in the first post of this thread to the template.
- Message me here if you have any difficulty accessing the template.
- You can submit anytime on the 30th October in your own timezone, i.e. midnight on Oct 30th wherever you are. But please don't hurt yourself
If you are nearly finished and you need one more day, just message here and it will be granted. Just make sure you let us know so you are included in the scoring.
- Please ensure you submit lots of good screenshots showing the whole build. There is advice in this presentation guide.
- Builds that do not meet these specifications, or that are too difficult to judge, will be scored at 50% of their total, i.e. only receive half points. This is to reward the effort that goes in to creating good submissions and to compensate for the difficulty of judging poorly presented entries. I will let you know if the submission is below quality and give you another opportunity to submit.

Yes that's okay: one habitat, any number of animals. But imagine you're the zookeeper and one of them is your favourite: is it the tortoise or the dikdik? How can you make the habitat extra special for them? Just a fun way to approach the challenge and match the DLC theme
Okay then, honestly I like them both equally and had a fun idea on how to build a habitat that works for both.Yes that's okay: one habitat, any number of animals.

Go for it, it's not a big deal
Ok, thanksGo for it, it's not a big deal
Awww, I'm flattered. Don't hold back though. I don't want you to feel intimidated.
So what animal(s) are you guys going to do, for me I think I am going to do a Dik-Dik and Sulcata Tortoise mix or a Baboon Habitat but I want to see what you guys got in mind (also mention Non-Zookeeper Pack animals if they are also apart of the habitat).
Baboon as thats the only animal of them i plan to have in my current zoo, so im just gonna build a standalone habitat for them and plop them in later.
I'm currently working on a Madasgar zoo for the Sifaka ( or however it's spelt rofl ) . Hopefully by the time I work on the Sifaka the zoo will have plenty of money to show it off more than the others rofl.
Haven't quite decided yet but I think either the tortoise or the pallas' cat. Both would fit in my current Franchise so I'm gonna make some room for one of them there.
Okay, it's kick off! Or it was a few hours ago 
Have fun everybody! Looking forward to seeing what everyone builds! I still haven't decided what animal I'm going for but I'm definitely going to be trying out those new building pieces!

Legend! Thank youI won't be joining in on this round but feel free to @ me for voting
So I am going to join, I am also going to vote
Ill try and join, dont have much time currently because of uni and even if ill play i got another build i need to atleast finish the outline for first, but maybe ill manage to squeeze the tortoise into somewhere and perhaps ill even start building for the sifaka and the rest of my madagascar house.
Alternative my old zoo got a spot perfect for pallas cat and i even started building a spec bear habitat over there last year when i expected the eurasia pack to be a mountain pack, so we will see about that.

There you go .. a nice selection to choose your best one for the challenge
Currently working on a remodel of my A zoo as those animals are taking up half my storage space rofl.
But, honestly have no clue how to make a habitat special for one animal in a zoo full of animals of the same type having the same items rofl.
