That animal being?

Are those cougars?

[Wowman]

They are caracal 

[wolfpaw]

Woo, some animals in the zoo! No idea what a caracal is but looks cool, haha 

[Wowman]

its a medium size cat

[Wowman]

Looking in at the caracal

[JB]

I know my caracal very well, thank you. Her name is Cara.

That monkey balloon is frightening! Looks too much like the toothy Steeplechase Park guy.

[Gin]

That monkey balloon is going to give me nightmares. lol

Ahead, it looks like more balloons. I'm afraid to ask. haha

[Wowman]

looking back at the guest walkway from inside the caracal habitat.

[JB]

Wow, that's a huge pile of red meat for the caracals. Or maybe they're just spreading their sleeping bags out for the night.

[Wowman]

yep

[Cody]

This is just getting more and more impressive. I bet the animals love their habitats, especially all that meat as JB pointed out.

[Gin]

Haha I really like your cactus on there.

Have you ever tried those cactus' pink fruits?

They are really sweet. Closest comparison would be like a kiwi.

This is coming out really interesting - nice job!

[Wowman]

nope never ate cacti

[Wowman]

Going back to another habitat inside the Fragile Kingdom building...I had a habitat reserved for a porcupine in case it was ever added to the game. This is because this is a real animal in the real zoo that is in this building (like all the others that are already added). I only need like two or three more to fill the building out like it is real life.

[Wowman]

This habitat can be seen from both sides of the circular walkway.

[Wowman]

Back to the North Mall updates - A few items found in the North Mall walkways are a small swing ride and a water stand.

 

[Gin]

I really like the lushness of green foliage and trees in these photos.

I also didn't know PLANZOO had rides - unless it's a workshop item.

[Wowman]

workshop faux ride

[Wowman]

Here is a shot looking north up the North Mall from above the fountain. Playground is on the far right. The large area on the left is the next construction area. It is the first section of Africa, and is the mixed ungulate habitat. It will have a safari jeep ride that goes through it.

[wolfpaw]

Love seeing layouts come together - it's coming along nicely!

[Gin]

Ooh, I can't wait to see what it ends up looking like!

 

[Wowman]

The gardens around the Roosevelt Fountain.

[Gin]

Beautiful!

I really like that fountain, with the tall grass detail.

The flower beds are a really nice way to divide and decorate the large path.

[wolfpaw]

No zoo is complete without a fountain - looks lovely!

[Cody]

That is a beautiful fountain and surrounding area!
