A balanced self praise is totally ok, Ms. Fini. Especially when your little town is as detailed and amazing as it is.
I typically don't have much self praise in my builds EXCEPT for the latest version of Longview Zoo
What did you do in Planet Zoo today?

Love the gharial! So much so that I’ve used it in practically every one of my zoos so far. For that reason, I wanted to skip it for this zoo. Plus I want to make a separate reptile section of the zoo.
I was thinking of adding the binturong, dhole, or wild water buffalo
personally i love seeing the binturong in a small forest like habitat. Any of these options would work great
Dhole would be dope, i love those guys
Welcome to a small update to the WZO. We have big news.
We found an abandoned crocodile farm in Cozumel, Mexico which was run by unsavory characters in the illegal pet trade fronted as a tourism spot.
We bought the farm and will use it to raise awareness of the dangers crocodiles face, as well as help the animals here become more comfortable.
We can't wait to redo this sanctuary, save these animals, and hopefully help raise funds for the WZO for more conservation efforts...
(Y'all, I need help with naming it. What should I make it?)

The Righteous Racoon Resort
Ok, that works. Strangely enough, we lack raccoons
Raise awareness for crocodiles + naming it that
Sounds like some exciting enrichment
Ok, figure out the name for the zoo: Rancho las Golondrinas.
Why? I'll tell you:
Cozumel is from a Mayan word, Cuzamil. Roughly translated, it means Isla de las Golondrinas, which means Island of the Swallows.
So, I decided to name the zoo after the island's name meaning. Hence, Rancho las Golondrinas (The Swallows Ranch)

@scullivan is/will your zoo be shared on the workshop?
puts on best Gollum voice "I wants it..."
I have to admit I haven't played for a few days, I ran out of steam.

I’ve never uploaded to the workshop before, but maybe I will if this becomes a true complete zoo!
Today I built a small reptile house as part of Stringybark Zoo's native wildlife area, detached from the larger reptile house I plan to build between the tropical and desert sections of the zoo much later on. All of the exhibit reptiles from Australia we have in the game are kept in desert-type exhibits despite also occurring in temperate environments, and this was an issue given this area is themed specifically around temperate south-eastern Australia. Therefore, I used a combination of backgrounds (using my own photographs) and placeable foliage to make each exhibit better fit the climate of the area whilst also being unique from one another and representing different environments.
For the eastern bluetongue skink, I chose for its exhibit to be set in a tall eucalyptus forest surrounded by sandstone escarpments.
The eastern brown snakes got a nice wide exhibit portraying coastal mallee woodlands (in fact I actually took these habitat photos last month while looking for wild brown snakes, so it was very appropriate lol).
And the common death adder got a drier shrubby woodland.
As an additional note, here is a rough sketchup of my current plan for the rest of the native wildlife area now that it's beginning to become more concrete in my mind. I'm not having emus and wallabies free-roaming throughout this section of the zoo as I originally planned, but they'll still have a large walkthrough enclosure that also contains the viewing area for the koalas. I'm also going to be building a ready-made habitat for the Tasmanian devil in the hopes that it'll finally be added this year, a temperate Australian area just feels that much emptier without it.

Guess who got a bit inspired by the essential animals post and is building on his next faux habitat. Guess who will live here once they are added/i get a mod for them
Looks really nice. And which essential animals post? We have like 50+ million posts like thatGuess who got a bit inspired by the essential animals post and is building on his next faux habitat. Guess who will live here once they are added/i get a mod for them
