Nice update Hupdo!!
The exhibit looks very good!! Although, it could look better if you used a grassland reskin, but that doesn't really matter.
Great Job anyways. :)
Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.

Thanks, everyone, for the comments! :D They are greatly appreciated!

African Civet and Fennec Fox
Some of the zoo's smallest residents reside near the African wild dog and leopard exhibits. The first one you'll encounter is the elusive African civet.
This little carnivore makes its home in the steamy rainforests of central Africa. Civets are nocturnal creatures, so don't be surprised if he's hiding in his hollow stump shelter or up in the orchid tree. As the sun begins to fade, however, you may catch our lone civet eating or drinking on the ground, or playing with the toys our keepers have provided for him. His exhibit can be seen on the left.
The fennec foxes are likewise nocturnal, but are somewhat more active. You can see them bounding among the tall grass of their exhibit, or resting on the hill under the acacia tree. Their huge ears help them to radiate heat from their bodies in the blazing desert sun; however, here, our zookeepers simply let them play in the water of a garden hose to cool them down. The foxes can be found in the exhibit to the right.

Thanks, you guys! :D Glad you like it.

Unfortunately, these are all the exhibits I've made so far for this zoo. But I'm planning more! Here are the creatures I have yet to build exhibits for.

Nile crocodiles
Nile monitors
Banded mongooses
Falanoucs
Madagascar fish-eagles
Secretary birds
Ruppell's vultures

More pics will come later tonight! Also, make sure to check out my other park, the Island Wildlife Protection Agency!

It's from GLM's Madagascar Pack, which was available at Caldera, but now I'm not sure where you can get it.

Thanks for the comments, guys! I'll have new pics up by the end of the night.

A very productive day at the Preserve! Three new exhibits have been constructed; here's the first and largest of them. :D

Nile Crocodiles
Crocodiles are among the world's most successful predators; their lineage dates back to hundreds of millions of years ago. Today, they are found on every continent except Antarctica and Europe, but are threatened with overhunting and habitat loss. The Nile crocodile is one of the largest and most well-known species of crocodylian. Found throughout Africa's waterways, these crocodiles eat anything from insects to birds, zebras, and more. Due to their dangerous nature, they are only accessable from an elevated viewing bridge. The female crocodile has recently laid an egg.

It was very creative to only have an elevated viewing area because of how dangerous corcodiles are.

In other words, great job :thumbsup:
