Looks really nice

I've been considering it but the river is acting as a barrier moat rather than a part of the habitat. I'm trying to think of a way to organically include both the barrier moat and also a swimming hole for buffalo within the habitat itself without it looking weird.
Other than that, I've been inspired to build a mixed pygmy hippo/Nile lechwe habitat, so we'll see how that goes too. The tricky bit will be including an indoor section.
I was feeling terrible yesterday, so I just filled the gap between the deer habitat, the Lynx habitat and the fron of the Lynx habitat in Murmeldorf and build a toilet house.
Really hope to get more done after work today.

Hope you feel better soon! I like the toilet block, it looks very realistic and tidy.
Thank you
Feeling better already. Guess my body just hit the break yesterday. Hope the little viking is sleeping better soon, too. Feel him, sleeping is a challenge at the moment. Gotta love spring... am already longing for fall agai. Guess that's why I'm having more fun in Murmeldorf now. Cool, shadow-y vibes.
Have decided that rather than building new habitats I’d like to renovate some old ones and maybe make the whole zoo more similar to its second inspiration, the smithsonian. Planning on adding an o-line, renovating the orangutan building, adding more trees, and shifting around the entrance building somewhat.
Went back to my big zoo to add some finishing touches with the new DLC.
The Eurasia area has welcomed the newt and the cranes, but also some ibex on the former peafowl enclosure. I know the goats have one of the worse habitats in the zoo, but I couldn't expand it more.
The India area has welcomed the buffaloes, and the peafowls now share with the flamingoes.
In the Africa zone, ostriches share now their home with Nile lechwes.
Finally, the America section has welcomed capybaras into the big shared habitat with anteaters and tapirs.
I couldn't make room for platypus, caiman or Asian otters unfortunately, since this zoo was basically finished before the wetlands pack came out.
I've also decided the name of the zoo

This is a total non-sequitur, but I always found the elk/moose/wapiti confusion fascinating. As an American, I say "elk" for Cervus canadensis and "moose" for Alces alces. I personally think we should adopt the word "wapiti" for C. canadensis, as it reduces confusion as well as using one of the original names for the species... but I always slip up and just call them "elk" anyway!
It is fascinating to me as it brings in questions of language, history, scientific classification, colonialism and more. I quote myself from another thread:
I'm still ill but thanks god it's not covid (just got my PCR result) but still I'm not able to do my internship this week again, so I could spent more time at PZ today after feeling a little bit better.
I started a snow leopard habitat which will have two parts and the first is supposed to be a netted enclosure. I did the netting and was proud of how it worked out but now look how the game shows the net. What an annoying bug, in some angles the whole net just disappears...
(yes, there's a net but it's not visible)

Thank you, that’s really kind. I was stuck in a rut for a long time but I’m now really feeling enthused about the game and what I can do.
Still struggling with building but I have a very clear vision for this zoo and what animals to include.
@markun Thank you! Yeah, it's really a bit frustrating and I'm now thinking if I'm going to remove the net. But I will definetely do the second enclosure without a net (which was the idea before anyway).
Also, your two habitats look great and realistic as well.
Progress on the first snow leopard enclosure. I don't think I will change much on it itself, so next time I'll do the indoor and backstage cages, the second habitat and the visitor area.
