I'm so sorryMy laptop repair didn't last long and the computer is having problems again. I'm afraid I won't be able to pay the game in a long time.
I hope you can get a new laptop!
What did you do in Planet Zoo today?

Completely ignored the Americas Pavillion and started a new enclosure for an animal I dont even know yet 
I just did some fencing and made a moat.
I was originally planning for this to be for the Red River Hogs since they are my favourite of the tropical pack and I still havent been able to build for them yet. My other two options were Nile Lechwe or Blue Wildebeest. I'd be glad to take suggestions if you guys have more ideas on who could fit in here, the only rule is it has to be an African animal since this is going in that section of my zoo.

Noooo. I hope some good oppurtunity appears for you so you can play again very very soon.My laptop repair didn't last long and the computer is having problems again. I'm afraid I won't be able to pay the game in a long time
In my local zoo (Franklin Park) They have the Red River Hog and Bongo in the same habitat. You could do that, or maybe othCompletely ignored the Americas Pavillion and started a new enclosure for an animal I dont even know yet

I've had a pretty big creative block for Stringybark Zoo since finishing the South-east Asia area, which is partly because I'm having trouble starting the Drylands area and partly because my building skills have improved significantly over the course of building the zoo to the point I'm feeling dissatisfied with some of the older areas (the Floodplains especially). I might go back and do some renovations later on but for now I feel like working on a new project, and so that's what I've started developing.
I've wanted to do a zoo set in the Australian desert for years now, with my main inspirations being the Alice Springs Desert Park and the old Pearl Coast Zoo. The latter zoo, which was unfortunately closed back in 1991 due to declining visitor numbers, has been especially influential for me, hence why I was originally planning to set my new zoo in the same region (around Broome). However, when I tried to do some practice landscaping today, I found it was impossible to even get close to emulating the kind of vegetation they have around there with the foliage pieces we currently have in-game. Instead, I decided to move the zoo to the southern Northern Territory, likely near Alice Springs, which the limited amount of foliage pieces we have for arid Australia (or Australia in general) is more tailored towards. I was able to get much more satisfactory results for this region, as can be seen below, but I'll probably try a few different things with the landscape work before I start building the zoo to get the vegetation as close to accurate as possible.
I've also begun planning the zoo's roster, which is mostly a mix of desert animals with some common zoo species from other biomes. This may change as planning continues of course:
I haven't thought up a name yet, but I'm sure it'll come to me - Bloodwood Wildlife Park is tempting but I don't want to keep naming my zoos after trees lol.

Almost done the foliage and rockwork for the Red River Hogs. I decided to just shrink the enclosure down a bit and give them the enclosure to themselves.

Finished the Red River Hogs enclosure a couple days ago, forgot to take pictures but heres the video for anyone who wants to see the final product:
Anyway since then I finished the latest (and one of the smaller) exhibit tonight, the Red Fox enclosure:
Been kinda distracted with building these one off builds I havent had the motivation to build the pavillion or work on the other series I have (Safari park). I feel kinda bad that I'm not balancing things out, that said, next up on the OakWood list is Raccoons!

Something new...
Made a Otter habitat with underwater viewing-
and then followed it up with a Clouded Leopard aviary-

Started working on the Raccoon Enclosure, this ones gonna take a bit longer cause I want to put a bit more effort into it than the last couple.
This makes me wish we had motors so we could make our builds actually move
