Man, this is a masterpiece. The reptile house, welcome area, and the overall layout is great. Curiously in the Jaguar habitat you made it showcase both their North and South/Central American habitats. Now why do I feel like renovating much of my Amazonian zoo after seeing this...
Mate, you were one of my top favourite builders in ZT2 and now you have proven the same excellence in Planet Zoo. Despite the simple aesthetic, this park is a masterpiece and one of the best finished projects I've seen in Planet Zoo. 🔥 Loving the realism!
Okay we’re going to need some tutorials because I get frustrated enough just using the terrain tools and adding paths. I’ve been wanting to build a tropics house but I can never make it work 😢. This zoo is amazing!
I remember looking at your Zoo Tycoon 2 zoo builds at the The ZT2 Round Table when I was learning how to do more advanced builds. It must have been 5 year ago or something like that. I am so glad the UA-cam recomended me your video, you are amazing builder 😁.
An Amazing Build, and honestly i could see this as an actual real world zoo or as a subsection of a zoo. That being the case, i did have three criticisms with the build that would go to make it more realistic. 1st) The Gator habitat is small, not abhorrently small, but small none the less. Alligators are large carnivores who can get up to 13ft long and weigh half a ton. Many Zoos here in the USA give our Gators full Deep ponds to call home. In time, a irl Gator put into that habitat will quickly outgrow it and attempt to burrow out. 2nd) An inward facing fence would be placed around the Beaver Pond, both to keep the Beavers from climbing out, and to keep people from sticking their hands in or just out right falling in. 3rd) The Jaguar Pool's side look a bit too steep, which would cause problems down the line with older animals. Also, this is a personal preference, but the geometry of the jaguar pool is a lil off putting when compared to the Capybara and Giant Otter Naturalistic ponds. Overall just a fantastic build, and something i would love to see in an IRL zoo one day. 4/5 stars.
Thank you for the praise and for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback. I'll address each point below: 1. I agree that the enclosure is small but I wouldn't say it's completely unrealistic; Gatorland, for example, had one of their biggest gators (Chester) in an enclosure just as small for many years. Also, in the UK, crocodilians housed indoors don't tend to have huge enclosures as space is at a premium. In retrospect, I should have probably chosen a smaller gator but I just went with the first one that appeared in the list and threw it in the enclosure for the video and screenshots. I'll be more careful with sizing in future though. 2. I 100% agree with this and I picked up on it after I finished building the enclosure. Sadly, by that point, I just didn't have the energy in me to wrangle a guard rail into place and wanted to move onto other areas of the zoo. 3. I also agree with this. The banking is too steep and I'll keep that in mind when building future pools. I also know what you mean about the geometry. I went with a concrete pool as most of the pools with underwater viewing areas that I'd personally seen had concrete pools. I think it might have something to do with water clarity. I could have definitely rounded the edges more though instead of making it look so faceted. Again, thank you for the useful feedback, you've given me a lot to think about. 👍
Gorgeous realism. Reminds me a bit of ZooAmerica, a zoo in central Pennsylvania I used to visit a lot as a kid that houses exclusively North American animals and which, despite being quite small and unassuming, has a fantastic desert house. Now that we have three new North American animals, would you ever try to fit them into Wild Americas, or is it totally finished?
Mr Weasel is there any way you can upload this to steam workshop so I may download it? I’m trying to show my wife the magic of This game and the endless possibilities and having this zoo would be amazing thank you!
I love how even the filming adds to the realism by looking like a vlog style movement
Please upload to the workshop. I could spend hours in here! excellent work
Heyo just a quick request could you upload this zoo onto the workshop it looks so amazing that I want to see it for myself..
Hey, when the twilight pack comes out you can add the red fox, striped skunk, and raccoons in that zoo of yours.
Man, this is a masterpiece. The reptile house, welcome area, and the overall layout is great. Curiously in the Jaguar habitat you made it showcase both their North and South/Central American habitats.
Now why do I feel like renovating much of my Amazonian zoo after seeing this...
Such a beautiful zoo, very realistic! Well done !
Realism in this zoo is ultra top hight. All habitats is impressive and very inspired! I liked it. Great job!

This is an absolute blast to see and so well done.

Thanks! I may make a tutorial series at some point, watch this space!
Wow!!! Ok, this is absolutely jaw-dropping!
Fantastic build. I especially like the signage and appreciate that it goes for the plants as well as the animals.
Absolutely mind boggling. Wow
I was really impressed with your work in zoo tycoon 2 like ten years back, and found this now by chance, you do such great work, I love this!
The day this gets added to the workshop I'm so jumping in to look around for inspiration and ideas!
What a beautiful zoo !
Oh my god I'm obsessed with ur style of building

Thank you ♥ It's very heart warming to know I'm remembered for something.
Just found out I've been playing the game wrong this whole time lol
Awesome work, congratulations 👏🏻
Oh My God! This is so impressive!!!! Thank you for sharing :) its so accurate to real zoos!
I love the tropical house!
this is the best zoo i've ever seen!
Congratulations, you've just earned a new subscriber! Such feats!!
how do you build the pools for the crocs? I've been trying to figure out how to make a concrete pool.

Thanks! I think I'm finished with it but we'll see 🤔
This zoo is so amazing ! Are you gonna put it on the workshop ? I’d like to steal some of your ideas 😅
Thank you! I plan to at some point in the future🙂
how did you make the larger exhibits??
Those are just regular exhibits. I'm guessing the frame I added around the windows made them look smaller.
omg this look so real that is actually better than real ~~~ now problem is just my computer won't run a zoo like this!
Wow what an amazing zoo!
How do you create these big terrariums/exhibits?
Thanks! Those are just the regular exhibits that you get with the game. I just covered them with wooden building pieces.
But there are no glass between the two exhibit?
Mr Weasel is there any way you can upload this to steam workshop so I may download it? I’m trying to show my wife the magic of
This game and the endless possibilities and having this zoo would be amazing thank you!
Hello?? This is amazing
great video, loved it! but what is with the human voice sound effects lol
Thanks! The voices are from staff members walking around haha
How do u get stone walls to holding water. In your beaver habitat
There's a glass barrier inside them that's holding the water in. I just covered it over with the stone walls. 🙂
Gostei muito do seu trabalho. Parabéns 🎉
Hi Mr Weasel do you have email and I have a news in china about a wild zoo.
Can you make content for planet coaster on ps4
Zoos, only zoos.
@@Bloodnut4life man I wish it would release on consoles already
@@NPC_5120 why'd you say that to him?
@@frowner_and_co cause I would like to download his park and enjoy cause it seems fun to explore
