Zoo progress pt. 4

 

 New year, same updates. Working on some more exhibits on the zoo, as well as finalising all the guest and staff access paths. I'm thinking I'll surround the entire zoo in a 5 or 6 high wall of logs, although I am unsure how that will look at this stage.

The desert/savannah exhibit. I've built a mesa-type wall around the back with some acacia trees for shade. I took advantage of the new /fillbiome command to change the grass and leaves to a more brown colour fitting of the savannah theme. Some llamas were wandering around near the library so I brought them over with leads. I have a whole host of llamas over in Tanisen City, but getting them over to the zoo would be a long way to travel, even in the Nether.

The polar exhibit. I am unsure at this stage how to further decorate this area, apart from variegate the background stone, and perhaps a few more layers of snow.

The freshwater exhibit. I've finished decorating this one for the moment, but I'll maybe add some foliage over the back to break up the white rear wall. There's two turtle eggs surrounded by glass for protection, but they haven't hatched as yet. I've already brought some salmon over to this exhibit.

The ocean exhibit. I plan on having cod, dolphins and squid in this one, but I will not attempt any of that until it is decorated. Both this ocean exhibit and the freshwater one can be viewed from a building that site between them, from both high above and under the water.

Spider exhibit. I wanted this to feel more organic, but now there's spiders in it and they don't like people hanging around in their caves, so I guess it will have to remain a little stale for the moment. There's only two spiders (named Charlotte and Shelob) in there at present, but I'm hoping there's a Abandoned Mineshaft nearby I can bring some cave spiders over. Hopefully I don't get *too* poisoned.

The taiga exhibit. There's presently 6 wolves in this enclosure (named Accalia, Gonzalo, Ookami, Rolo, Skoll, and Tamaska). They appeared wandering in a taiga biome only 300m north of the zoo.

Taiga exhibit. Threre's three foxes in this enclosure (named Fox McCloud, Tails, and Tamamo-no-Mae). They are not the first three foxes I brought over either, as the first three jumped the middle glass fence (which you can see clearly in the Wolf picture above), and got into a fight with the wolves. It didn't end well for the foxes.

A bit more progress made on the aviary, to bring it more in line with an overgrown jungle/forest scene. I have to move a beacon out of it before I do any more however.
