Hey all... I appreciate your support a lot in this episode haha sorry about that! I recorded the intro outro and speed build a while apart... So that explains that. Anyway you guys rock. That is all. Swoop 🦅🦅
Oh gosh it has been so long since work was quiet enough to watch one of your builds on my lunch break. Nature is healing, Swoop! If you enjoy the taiga biome and want to go a bit more modern I wouldn't say no to like ... an ultra swish ski-resort style zoo? Prehistoric Kingdom meets Alpine McMansion? I'm not even kidding, either. The kind of thing you get when you google 'modern ski chalet' looks like it would be a really good meld of your build style and the taiga environment (which is obviously the best biome) and would give a great excuse to play with some of the fluffier dino versions.
I'm glad they have been working on helping those with low end Pc and Laptops! Really shows how the devs care so much Also; keep up the good work Swoop! Always enjoy watching your videos sofar
You have a way of making concrete buildings look very nice and not plain at all. That inclined entry point for the restaurant is a great idea and it rhymes with the ramp access down into the viewing area. Interiors are not my favourite either, but what goes a long way is creating interesting walls, maybe having it part wood or with lintels around all the windows. Happy to see you building this habitat, can you show us what's left of the view from the mammoth observation deck?
Hey newage! I’ll happily show you the view in the next couple of eps ☺️ that’s a great idea for the interior thanks for the suggestion I hadn’t thought of that! 🦅
I know this is an old video but I'm new to your channel (amazing work btw) and I don't want to sound redundant if someone has already commented this but the genus smilodon was only doing in North and South America, other sabercats such as homotherium and machairodus were doing throughout Europe and Asia though!
Regarding smilodon being related to cats, they are true cats! They just aren't in the same group as MODERN cats. Modern true cats are divided into two groups, the felines felinae(small cats like bobcats, house cats, lynx, cougars etx) and the panthers pantherinae(big cats like lions, tigers, jaguar, etc). Smilodon belonged to a third group of true cat, the machairodonts(Saber toothed cats), which are now wholly extinct! They also weren't the only top predator; while they did occupy the top of the food chain, they competed in their range against the equally large ancient lions like the American lion and the Eurasian cave lion! There were also the Running bears, a group of short faced long legged bears that were much more predatory than today's omnivorous types.
Hey Michael! Thanks for your kind comment this is super interesting! I actually didn’t know there were ancient lions like the American and Eurasian! I’ll definitely be looking those up. Swoop 🦅☺️
To get an idea of how closely related they are taxonomically speaking, let's make the comparison to mustelids (Mustelidae). This family consists of many subfamilies where otters (Lutrinae) are furthest removed from badgers (Melinae). So if you'd seen a Cave Lion (Panthera spelaea) who is a a modern felid, next to a Smilodon you'd definitely be able to tell them apart, mostly because the latter's body build is much more stocky.
Yeah, American lions/Eurasian cave lions were basically modern day lions scaled up in size. They were maneless(which we know bc of cave art!)and shaggier, But otherwise identical more or less. And unlike the "sabertoothed tiger", these were ACTUAL lions! They are a sister line/possibly came from the same ancestor as living lions, that spread up into Europe and Asia via the Middle East! (Also a fun history fact: lions existed as native predators in Europe up until 400AD!) Smilodon have that powerful, unique frame bc their jaws were only 30% as strong as a modern day lions, so their forelimbs were overdeveloped to help them wrestle and grapple prey and keep em still for those teeth to do their work.
Lolll wow I'm early. Really excited for this one! Looking forward to what you do next! Unfortunately my pc's arrival has been delayed, for up to 2 months, because of lockdowns and production delays in China. So I'm, always looking forward to new PK content from you! I've tried finding other youtubers to watch as well, but not many are making sandbox parks, and even less have voices that I can tolerate listening to. I'd LOVE to see a more tropical themed park, doesn't have to be like full blown island paradise, but something that looks based in say Florida in the USA, or Brazil in South America. Some multi-species habitats with dinosaurs from the same area/time period would be cool, especially ones you haven't used already. Dryosaurus, Deinocheirus, Torvosaurus, Acrocanthosaurus to name a few. I think there's great potential for a swamp themed exhibit with the Deinocheirus that I haven't seen anyone properly utilize on YT. Anyway, love your videos and they always make my day when I see you've uploaded a new one! Keep em coming!!
Hey Cap! You are too kind. I’m leaning towards tropical for my next project so you might be very happy 😊🦅 shame about your comp! Glad my voice is tolerable haha personally I find it jarring but the grass is always greener! 🦅
@@swoopthere Looking forward to seeing what you choose! And that's honestly so important loll. You could be the best park builder out there, but if your voice sounds like you smoke a pack of cigs a day, or you make no effort in pronouncing the names of the animals you're building enclosures for I'm not going to watch loll. Like it takes 1 Google search and maybe 5 minutes to learn how to say the name of a dinosaur, idk why so many youtubers absolutely refuse to do it lmaoo. Really random btw but the instrumental you chose for the speed build reminds me SO much of Owl City's "Hello Seattle" which is sooooo nostalgic for me loll.
I think humanity will cure every disability when we can resurrect dinosaurs with genetic technology. So I don't think you need to build ramps every time in PK😁 By the way, you have built an amazing building again! i've made several two stories building but using basement like this is quite brilliant I think. And I love those ferns so much as well.
Thanks doomguy! Yeah I think it’s important to try and remain inclusive as it’s consistent with the rest of the park then ☺️💛 I love the ferns too! I’ll miss them if my next project isn’t a ‘fern’ one haha.
Comment to the Free roaming mammoths: They are Mammoths but in heart they are Free roaming Kittys. They get out everytime and want to be free XD To bad that they would die later when the Game evolves fourther. Famous Sabertooth cats on europe are Homotherium they are strong builded relatives who are also very cool :D and some speciemen also discovered in Germany
I would feel so akward if someone sat down right next to me when I was eating lunch #introvert. The city life aint for me. I do love the smilodon she is..... she is.... Fill in the blanks. K Bye! 😆
Hey shing! Dog person definitely but I do love the big cats at the zoos and the smilodon ☺️ no idea the bots 🤖 are super annoying. I’m constantly reporting them.

Thanks for the kind comment Cameron! Yeah the devs really do care about the community and their wants/needs which is great! Swoop 🦅

This game is awesome! This content is awesome! My day gets a little better every time there is a new swoop video!! Keep up the good work!
Cheers Brodey! Thanks for commenting ☺️🦅
You are one of my favorite RUclipsrs ever keep up the good work
Wow, thanks Cheese! I appreciate your support 🦅
Also, maybe a tropical mountain park?
For a challenge, each mountain top is an exhibit/Guest area and bridges between each
Hmmm I like the idea of going tropical! 🦅
I know this is an old video but I'm new to your channel (amazing work btw) and I don't want to sound redundant if someone has already commented this but the genus smilodon was only doing in North and South America, other sabercats such as homotherium and machairodus were doing throughout Europe and Asia though!

Pretty sure smilodons were built a lot more like a bear than a normal lion or big cat
Hi Swoop! Love the video! When you go to LA you've gotta see the Getty Center by architect Richard Meier.
Just googled it! It looks incredible! I’ll defs be checking it out! 🦅💛

Brilliant as always love the floating table outside. Will you be doing some help videos
I am considering it Thomas but I’m not really sure what folks would like help with. What kinda of things would you like to see? Swoop 🦅
@@swoopthere I struggling with the terrain tools at moment and resizing well anything
@@Thomas-N-n4m gotcha! I’ll look into it this weekend ☺️
I think humanity will cure every disability when we can resurrect dinosaurs with genetic technology.
So I don't think you need to build ramps every time in PK😁
By the way, you have built an amazing building again! i've made several two stories building but using basement like this is quite brilliant I think. And I love those ferns so much as well.
Thanks doomguy! Yeah I think it’s important to try and remain inclusive as it’s consistent with the rest of the park then ☺️💛 I love the ferns too! I’ll miss them if my next project isn’t a ‘fern’ one haha.
@@swoopthere what about wetland park? There are ferns in those tropical areas too
@@IlIDOOMGUYIlI true!
Hi swoop, i really love all these videos, and this park..i’ve a question, are using any mods?
Hey Simone, no not using mods at this stage ☺️ thanks for your kind compliment! 🦅
Comment to the Free roaming mammoths: They are Mammoths but in heart they are Free roaming Kittys. They get out everytime and want to be free XD To bad that they would die later when the Game evolves fourther. Famous Sabertooth cats on europe are Homotherium they are strong builded relatives who are also very cool :D and some speciemen also discovered in Germany
Haha those mammoths shall live forever in the hills of Fercola! 😂🦅
@@swoopthere then Place them Plants for roaming Mammoths :D who knows maybe they start a Population :D
I would feel so akward if someone sat down right next to me when I was eating lunch #introvert. The city life aint for me. I do love the smilodon she is..... she is.... Fill in the blanks. K Bye! 😆
Hahaha god I sniggered at your comment, the stranger part and the “she is” part 😂💛
when are you going to add aldar species and one roamed Americas.
Hey Nicky, sorry I’m not sure what you mean by this comment? I googled “aldar species” but couldn’t find anything. Swoop 🦅
Hey swoop are you a cat person or a dog person? I'm personally a dog person.Also why are they so many bots here?
Hey shing! Dog person definitely but I do love the big cats at the zoos and the smilodon ☺️ no idea the bots 🤖 are super annoying. I’m constantly reporting them.
