The visit to this North America zone is now over. It was not easy to achieve insofar as I did it first in my park (after the entrance of course) then the other areas.
When the North America DLC arrived, this area had to be reworked without destroying it and starting from scratch. I trimmed the main river to house the alligators, moose, beavers and cougars but also the polar area and the polar bear enclosure (luckily the enclosure size requirement for them had decreased).
This first preview of the zone has allowed you to see that I didn't try to build a hyper-realistic zoo. By this I am thinking of the buildings in each enclosure with a night lodge for the animals and spaces for the keepers.
Concerning devices harmful to visitors (electricity production) I used solar panels as much as possible so as not to need to hide them.

I like the new photos too!
Just one little suggestion even if it might be too late now, but I didn't know it until someone told me, so I wanted to share it with you. When you take the screenshots, you can press G and all the menus will dissappear from the screen. That makes the screenshot look better.

Looks really good!
Is it possible to achieve this in the workshop?
I know it turns out I'll have a really big lag but I think it's worth it.
By the way, welfare is off? It seems like the cages are really big, and it amazes me that all the animals came in, (or so it should be and only I do not plan space and place well).
