      @@LeafProductions You know I'm sure you could create real life zoo tutorials. You could use Planet Zoo as a teaching aid, edit your videos in a similar fashion. Educate people on how to design zoo entrances, enclosures, enrichment etc.
      I'm sure a lot of people would find it helpful and I doubt such content exists on youtube. I know you're a planet zoo youtuber and that's your passion, but I figured it'd be worth mentioning anyways. My friend especially said your content is good quality and he doesn't play video games.

Leaf, if you're not already subscribed to ZAA membership, they allow the public to join without being enrolled in a school. They have webinars every couple weeks on zookeeping, like welfare, transport, enrichment, etc. I think they have videos on Rhinos right now. It helped me build better habitats for sure

    Honestly, the thing I have the most trouble in Planet Zoo is doing the layout. Every time i make a zoo it looks weird because the habitats are either too separated or too close. I hope you address that in a video because it would help me a lot.

    Maybe not for the next video, but I'd love to, at some point, see a video where you discuss how to fill in gaps between enclosures, and how to add realistic terrain changes in your zoo - as the steep path options and intense terrain don't fit most zoos super nicely. Cheers 😁

    this is so funny considering my local zoo's entrance animal for the longest time was a Snow Leopard. Which was either never out or always asleep. Few years ago it passed away and they replaced it with Lynxes....which have the same problem.

    Another example of entrance animals are South American animals since the they tend to mainly be small animals and a lot of zoos have a transition from the smaller and less popular to the larger and more popular animals and a lot of South American animals are brightly coloured and can be very noisy.
    Examples of zoos that have South American animals as entrance animals are Hemsley Conservation Centre which starts off with a capybara and Brazilian tapir enclosure, Jersey zoo has a mixed enclosure for giant anteaters, black and gold howler monkeys and Visayan warty pigs (temporarily) along with having a hooded katydid vivarium in the queuing point for the entrance, Drusilla's has a mixed enclosure for Linne's two-toed sloths, green iguanas, pygmy marmosets and red-footed tortoises, Port Lympe has a black and gold howler monkey enclosure in front of their entrance and Colchester zoo has a transition from having mostly South American animals near the entrance, to Asian animals, to African animals when you go further down the zoo.

    If you for some reason ever come to Alabama, hit me up and I'll show you around the Birmingham Zoo here and completely nerd out to tell you what used to be there back in the day versus the modern atrocity that the entrance is now amongst how they got rid of and buried money island that then became the gator pit after that before they got rid of it, amongst our red river hogs, the two duck ponds where the useless wide open green field is now that's only used for events at the park and has NOTHING in it, where out hippo house used to be as well as the enclosure where our Maned wolf and African wild dogs used to be, and our American bison as well before all of those animals were gotten rid of to make room for the African elephant enclosure that's HUGE for the 3 bulls we have to replace Mona and Suzie after they passed away. My uncle also used to work with Mona and Suzie before he had a heart attack in their enclosure and fell in the empty mote. He was their baby and they wouldn't let any of thr keepers retrieve him. Unfortunately he ended up passing away, and Mona and Suzie were never really the same after.

    I used flamingos and peafowl for my entrance animals, built them a nice habitat that met/exceeded all their needs, made sure there were at least 10 adult flamingos...their social need is always at 0 and I can't figure out why. It started as my franchise zoo got more popular and there were more guests, so I switched the barriers to 1 way glass (even though it's ugly and ruins the effect I was going for). I added multiple do not disturb signs. I gave them more hard shelter. I moved a number of guest facilities out of the entrance so there'd be less traffic/congestion. None of it makes a difference. Their overall welfare is always 0 just because of this one thing. I agree that flamingos are a beautiful entrance animal and I really wanted to use them because they remind me of an irl zoo experience that I wanted to emulate, but I just mechanically can't get them to work and I don't understand why.

  • @TheNukedNacho
    @TheNukedNacho 4 месяца назад +1

    Personally, with the zoos Ive made so far, I've always made my entrance animals one of or multiple of my favorite animals. One zoo had Saltwater crocs on one side, Gators on the other. Another had a mixed wolf habitat. Another had wolves on one side, Salties on the other.
    My local big zoo has Arapaima as their entrance animal. Not the best choice IMO. Their water is really murky, so you cant see them all that well. But the zoo does offer feeding them treats

    I understand wanting to build realistic, but if I am able to make habitats actually animal friendly and big (also known as 'bare minimum' if you truly care about the animals) then I will most certainly do so... I find it really sad seeing how many planet zoo builders (and other games as well) on yt build such small enclosures (sadly how they mostly are in rl) when they can freely choose the size. It just shows that the mindset to stop making animals live under horrible conditions/exploiting animals is so far away for most of humanity - they won't even accept that those problems exist (and in such mass)... Heartbreaking to me. (Just something I notice in many videos and it hurts me every time. Humanity won't stop treating irl animals like shlt if they don't even make any effort with fake ones.) Otherwise great tips and your foliage looks amazing! :)

      it’s just a different way of building! flamingos typically don’t require a lot of space anyways as they’re colonial species that tend to stick together (: I always build with the best welfare in mind on a realistic scale of what a zoo is after all! and overall there’s so many different ways to play the game! i enjoy the challenge of getting it to feel like real life ingame but I’m sure people like you enjoy challenging reality and giving the animals more than they need as well! 🫶
