jbnbsn99's Exhibit Design Thread

And I find it rich that a New Zealander can even say we're tucked away, most people think your country is just part of Australia... :p

To the point to where my Biology teacher thinks Australian wildlife such as Koalas are also native to New Zealand.:rolleyes:

There's no real need for a Camargue area, as those species are found in many Iberian places, specially in the South. But Camargue is nice too.

I wanted to have a visual break between Iberia and the Alps. A sort of contrasting area.
 
Alps

Alpine Ibex, Alpine Chamois
Pine Marten
Eurasian Lynx

Alpine Village

Scandinavia
Polar Bear
Gray Seals (+other possible seals)
Reindeer, European Elk
Waterfowl
North Sea Aquarium

More to come soon...
 
Have you thought of including a sturgeon species in your Danube Delta area?

I might as well wait for your next update, but I couldn't help but ask.
 
I guess I should give the rough outline of the next exhibit.

Black Forest
Wisent, Red Deer, Wild Boar
Brown Bear, Red Fox

Danube Delta
Walk-through aviary
River fish exhibit
River Hippopotamus, Water Buffalo, waterfowl
Asian Lion
Striped Hyena

That last one should be controversial enough :D
 
I really enjoy seeing all of these updates about the new exhibit. Sadly I don't know very much about European habitats so can someone please explain to me where the Danube Delta is and why there are hippos, buffalos, lions, and hyenas in it?

jb is going back in time to a period not too long ago when all these species inhabited the second largest river delta in Europe, located in Romania and Ukraine. If I remember correctly, the extinctions of these species in the area was natural which is why i personally find this to be controversial. Though I didn't know River Hippopotamus once inhabited the region.

Thanks Thylo! I have never heard of this region until today. I didn't even know that hippos used to live in Europe.

Well I never heard of it either until jb told me about it one day in the chatroom!:p Well there have been entire species located in Europe like the European Hippo (H. antiquus) and the Cretan Dwarf Hippo (H. creutzburgi). Perhaps the River Hippo is just a fill-in for the now Extinct European species.

H. amphibius was also found in the region. The water buffalo, however, is a substitute species for the European water buffalo.
 
Are you planning on resuming designing that European exhibit anytime soon jbnbsn? I think it's time you return to this thread.
