Gharials or flamingos?Let's go up with Day 5
On the 5th day I closed the gap next to or behind the lemur house with an enclosure for tortoises and beautified the free spaces between the paths with plants and fences.
Admittedly, I made a cut here because I didn't have that much time. But that would have been too little content for a post, that's why I pack 2 days together.
Next, behind the crocodile enclosure, I built an enclosure for malayan tapirs and a second one for black bucks.
The black bucks have already left the zoo, the mods have given me a few problems, so I decided to part with them first.
I don't yet know which animals move into the swan pond, bongos will move into the black buck enclosure.
Maybe you have an idea for the pond.
Aaaaand...

The Macaque Enclosure is really awesome. I like what you did there with the Water, the Rocks and the special EffectsDay 6
Yesterday I saw an episode of the Bronx Zoo on TV. (I think it's pretty cool that German television translates the episodes!)
In it they showed a merging of 4 female Japan macaques with a new male. I thought "Damn it, I've never had Japan macaques in one of my zoos"
Thought, considered concept and implement in my zoo.
I have to admit (self-praise stinks), but I think this enclosure is my most successful one. I think it's really great xD
I spent the rest of the day sorting out the animals.
Suddenly a lot of news came up, the flamingos complained ... no wonder there were 57 flamingos in the 1000 square meter enclosure. Fascinating that from 3 couples, so many animals have emerged, I always thought they die pretty quickly, so I thought I didn't have to worry about them. Thought wrong. How that sounds ... like a factory farmer. So I packed everyone in the trade center, kept 4 young adults and the little ones.
The llamas and ring-tailed lemurs will soon also bless the temporal, I will let them get their bread of grace and have already put together a new group.
In the former Swan Lake, I will probably put capuchin monkeys. I think the lake is good for building some tree houses and climbing opportunities.
Thanks btw. for the gavial idea (I already have flamingos), I'll definitely add them to another place
And last but not least
