Yeah i tend to go for realistic looking stuff, or at least semi realistic. But thats whats great about this game, you can build however you want!
I'll def consider it, i will probably wait until ive gotten around to doing the african extension. I want to see what animals we get in future packs before i plan it!
Thank you!
Sea Lion Cove is the Zoo's Sea Lion enclosure and presentation area. The seating area provides visitors a place to watch the Sea Lion demonstrations. These 'shows' educate visitors about the Sea Lions and show how the keepers train and look after them. On the way out of the enclosure you pass a small shop. The whole area is 'themed' with murals.
'Land Of The Tiger' is the zoo's Bengal Tiger exhibit. SItuated just along from the Jaguar and Amur Leopard enclosures, the exhibit provides great views of these majestic big cats.
I didnt think i gave a good enough view of the tiger house. The indoor area is practical rather then themed but it gives room to split the tigers up if needed.
Opposite the Giraffe paddock is 'Monkey Row', enclosures currently for Mandrill and Japanese Macaque. Future plans are for the Mandrills to move to the planned African extension and for the Japanese Macaques to be replaced with another species.
The first three pictures are of the Mandrill enclosure, and the other two are the Macaques.

Thank you!
Behind the 'grandstand' of the Sea Lion area is 'Kalahari Sands' a newer exhibit that houses Meerkats and in a smaller enclosure Fennec Foxes. At the far end of the meerkat enclosure is a picnic area that allows you to watch the meerkats as you eat or rest.
Exiting the opposite side of the picnic area, you come to the zoos waterfowl enclosure. Currently home to a small group of Flamingo and Indian Peafowl, it is thought that it may potentially become home to Pelicans in the future.
Outside of 'Reptile Tropics' zoo visitors will find 'Fruit Bat Forest'. The walkthrough aviary used to house birds but in 2012 was converted to house Egyptian Fruit Bats. Fruit Bats tend to be less noctournal then other bats so visitors will see bats flying around them first thing or before the zoo closes.
(obv we have only just got Fruit Bats but i worked them into the narrative of the zoo)

To the left of the waterfowl enclosure is anothe ramp which takes you to the African Plains enclosure. The large paddock stretches along the edge of the zoo site and is home to Ostrich, Oryx and Zebra.
Back alongside the Giraffe house is the Hippo house. The enclosure houses a family of 3 Common Hippos and features indoor pools as well as a large outside one. A covered viewing area looks both into the house and over the outside pool.
Thank you! Yeah i was really pleased with how the sea lion area ended up.
