When I first built this there were meerkats on the left side and fennec foxes on the right side. The foxes were SO STRESSED that I just had to remove them. They had a lot of hiding spots, but I guess the massive influx of guests was too much to handle. They are in the trade center for now. What I did with the habitats is I've connected them with a tunnel that runs below the path that goes in between the habitats. I've kept the meerkats and put in a female aardvark. I've made sure almost all the shelters and paths are accessible to the aardvark since it has a bigger hitbox. I figured the aardvarks were a perfect companion, and I didn't have to change much to fit them in.
This is my empty habitat waiting for the clouded leopards. I wanted to try the new mesh pieces and the new one-way glass pieces, but since there's an issue with them at the moment, and until we get a new patch, the habitat will have to stay empty.
sad clouded leopard noises There are only 2 viewing spots and one has the mesh fence, and the other has the one-way glass. I was thinking of putting up a sign that says "coming soon" or something like that. I think that would be pretty cool.
I wanted to have another cat next to the leopard so I've built a habitat for the jaguar. I quite like it. It's dynamic, and they have a few hiding spots where they can relax from the guests. Lots of climbing structures, and a pond to swim in.
My WIP pygmy hippo habitat. I think this is my first underwater tunnel build. There's going to be 2 more viewing spots, one reserved for the animal talk, but the main thing will be the tunnel.
I've started doing this more frequently - I have a simple bamboo wall with a door and a "Staff only" sign. I just copy these pieces all over the zoo where there's a staff path leading to the staff facilities. As I don't really care too much about making the staff areas pretty, I can just put this down, and hide the ugliness of the backstage.

I have noticed that I also don't really like to build for the guests, so I've downloaded some shop blueprints that I plan on using. I much more prefer building for the animals and decorating around the habitat, and of course, managing the zoo.
Yes I know there's trash, my caretakers are useless.
