Ah fantastic ecosystem you’ve made there! How disappointing about your trip to South Africa and Namibia. I live in Cape Town, South Africa so when you find yourself in this part of the world, give me a shout and I can organize a tour showing you our unique wildlife and nature. So many tourists come to Cape Town to see table mountain and drink wine, while very few know that this area is one of the most biodiverse in the country. Give me a shout and I’ll show you around! Great video as always! 🤩
A South African coast line would be awesome, you could even slit it into the tropical Kwazulu Natal side (Indian Ocean) and the Western Cape (Atlantic Ocean) where the two oceans meet. I am definitely using the Californian sea lions as Cape Fur Seals in my South African zoo. Well done on a great build. Love the vids keep it up!
This is a very solid attempt with what is possible in PZ. Even though we have so many African animals the foliage never convincingly reminded of places in Africa I visited. There is a real challenge in making ¨empty¨ areas look interesting, in which creative games exceed the limits of alternative uses of pieces. I will definitely use this as an example, but I feel there should have been more implied grass roots and low growth, as well as more bushes. This really would have created high contrast between greener areas on the riverbeds and drier areas near the rocks. I think I would have played with elevation a lot more too, also as a way to have trees and bushes grow between the cracks and shades. In terms of animals, I would have left out the giraffe and gone for much larger populations of Gemsbok and Springbok. It's a shame the AI works as it does with herding not really existing, but elephants grouping together would have been a very charming sight. Looking forward to seeing more!
Hey, thanks for the analysis! I completely agree that it would look better with more shrub etc. The reference photos I used had hardly any and, as you say, it's really hard to make empty look good as you don't have the tiny cracks, pebbles etc that you get IRL. I should have added more gemsbok just roaming the map without worrying about keeping them in. The Serengeti is on the list of viewer's suggestions so maybe I will revisit an African build at some point.
I want to see your take on the Mammoth Steppe or the Alaskan Wilderness. Currently working on a crap ton of animals from the Cenozoic for such an environment.

Thanks for the inspiration! Thank you as well for the offer, one day hopefully I will be able to take you up on it!
I love how you can take a Theme or style and completed through across your Zoos
Thanks for the upside down elephant grass tip! I love this series
No problem and thank you! I’ve had too much on with Pamoja Wildlife Park & Jurassic World Evolution but I’m hoping to make some more Planet Wild soon!
Beautiful work! Always love to see gemsbok in a build. One of my low key faves!
Thanks again Tally. I LOVE gemsbok!
You are going to love this week's Tekton ;)
@@ZSHplays ooh, yay! :D
Beautiful environment and creative. I enjoyed this build. Sorry to hear about your cancelled trip. Hopefully you can do that soon!
Thanks Mathletee, one day I will make it!
Really well done! You make it look so natural
Thank you! 😊
Interesting building series. Maybe try and recreate an Yukon Forest housing wolves, moose, bison and beavers. Reindeer could also be added onto it.
Thanks Tim. I think the next episode could be right up your alley 😃
You should definitely upload these to the workshop.
I will do that Juan, thanks. Might be tonight!
Juan, episodes 1 & 2 are now on the workshop! Sorry it took so long, links are in the descriptions to the videos now.
@@ZSHplays Thank you

Thanks Krynz! That is definitely on my list, will be making it one day!

Did you changed the grass texture?
How?
Also, love your videos, congrats!
Thanks OTakeshirr! I didn't change the grass texture, it's the standard texture for the north american desert map.
@@ZSHplays Really? Thanks man!
Yeah, zsh is in Africa fever🤪😅😍
Haha I am!
I want to see your take on the Mammoth Steppe or the Alaskan Wilderness. Currently working on a crap ton of animals from the Cenozoic for such an environment.
I will add them both to the list! Thanks.
Great idea I love it 😍
Thanks pal!
wait maybe you could make the outback for a new place
That is on the list Daniel, thanks!
@@ZSHplays ok
you should make an asian environment, like a bamboo forest
Yes! Asia is on my list!
@@ZSHplays I'm so excited to see that video, with all your other work from you that Ive seen I know its gonna be beautiful.
@@teendiagram655 Awesome! It might be a while but one day we will get there!
