Wild Parc Eindhoven

[ajmcspursfan]

Welcome to a tour around my latest Zoo, let me introduce you to Wild Parc Eindhoven.

Wild Parc Eindhoven opened in the year 2000 as part of the city’s millennium celebrations. Built on disused industrial wasteland on the edge of the city, the aim of the new Zoo was to provide realistic environments for the animals and to create an immersive experience for the visitors. The zoo is split into geographical regions with the large Tropical Dome opening in 2010 (Currently closed for renovation). The Zoo holds some of the most endangered animals in the world such as Siberian Tiger, Reticulated Giraffe, Somali Wild Ass & Red Ruffed Lemur, and has contributed to many breeding programs both in Europe and around the world. The Zoo continues its aim to create exhibits that closely recreate the natural habitats of its animals and will soon embark on a redevelopment of its South American area and hopes to welcome Tasmanian Devils in the future.

Hope you all enjoy the tour around the Zoo!

(Around the Zoo are some items that I got from the workshop such as the large dome. I will do my best to try and credit them but some I got from the workshop ages ago but I will do my best to find them again!)

It looks really nice from the above view.

Thank you! How a Zoo looks from above is quite important in how I build

A quick overview of the car park and entrance area. Visitors can chose two ticket gates, one brings you out into the Base Camp area (Shop, Resturant etc) and the other behind Base Camp and opposite the Penguin enclosure.

A quick question, is that sort of stuff interesting or would just looking at the animal enclosures be better

I enjoy seeing the general zoo layouts and such, they can be as fascinating as the animal parts.

Cool! I will show everything then

Visitors to the Zoo first come across the Base Camp Plaza. Here can be found the gift shop, a large cafe, toilet facilities and membership kiosk. Base Camp is used as the starting point as you start to explore the Zoos regions, with Noord Amerika, Suud Amerika immediately accessible.

One of the Zoos main targets was to recreate as closley as possible, the natural habitats of the animals, and to also show aniamals in habitats that they are not commonly known for. Entering the 'Suud Amerika' region, the King Penguin enclosure mimics the archipelago of Tierra del Fuego, with long grasses, rocky beaches and deep pool.

South America is home to a wide variety of habitats, such as the cloud forests and the pampas grasslands. The Zoo provides snapshots into the habitats of the Giant Anteater and Maned Wolf through covered viewing areas and tall glass windows.

Home to mother and sisters, the Giant Otter exhibit mimics the Amazon River Basin that these Otters call home. The enclosure offers underwater viewing, offers visitors a glimps into life under water. The indoor housing also had a deep pool which visitors can look into through a covered viewing area.

Really nice work! And excited to follow along with this tour! You've really found your "style" with this zoo!

Thank you! Yeah I'm really pleased with how its all turned out

Restricted to salt lagoons and soda lakes, Chilean Flamingos (Greater Flamingos in-game) inhabit a recreation of the wetlands that they call home. A large flock adds a splash of colour to the South American region. Visitors can view the Flamingos wading in the large pond or from the indoor viewing area.

 

[ajmcspursfan]

Ending the tour around the SA region is a mixed exhibit for Capybara and Llama. Although they dont typically share the same wild habitats, both species are fantastic representatives of both the lowland and highlands of South America.



The Zoo has exciting future plans for the South American region, which inludes heavier theming and new species.

 

[ajmcspursfan]

Adjacent to the opposite of the Base Camp plaza is 'Noord Amerika'. A continent with many different types of habitats, this region showcases aniamls from the vast prairies to the freezing cold tundras.

Living in a large paddock, the American Bison make for an impressive entrance to this region. A Prairie Dog enclosure (with tunnels for visitors to get up close) enclosure is nearby which reflects the enviroment that both species are found in.

 

[ajmcspursfan]

Ambassador species help raise awareness of the plight of the habitats that these species call home. Neither Raccoon or Striped Skunk are endangered in the wild but habitat loss is a problem for all species at the zoo.


The enclosure features a large pond which encourages the natural swimming behaviour of the Raccoon and has a off show exhibit that allows species to be split up.

 

[ajmcspursfan]

Seperated via the dry moat, the Arctic Wolf enclosure allows a natural look into the habitat for the visitors. The exhibit mimics the wild enviroment that these Wolves call home and provides a large area for the pack to explore.

That 'ceiling' in third picture, was that mod or official part of that game or pack? If that ceiling part wasn't mod, that could be ideal for flying birds like parrots and birds of prey. And for non-holey iron bar types like those in that third picture, larger snakes like green anacondas and larger pythons. What do you think? (Especially to/for Frontier and Planet Zoo creators)

For the third picture I just used the plaster pieces and the conservation slat beams. I often use the plaster pieces as they work well for most builds!
