Because elephants are migratory, Zoos like the Sydney Zoo will regularly take their Asian elephants around the entire zoo so that they can get exercise and experience a familiar "trail" so to speak. It's really interesting how different zoos try to help their animals feel fulfilled. :D
I got to visit an elephant sanctuary while I was in Thailand, they are seriously intelligent and so full of personality. Really amazing animals and an amazing experience to get so close with them
Definitely take a gander at Oregon Zoo's Elephant Lands expansion, I love our new elephant house. We have Asian elephants, which are a little smaller than African Elephants, but they love our climate and it's always a hoot when the zoo gives us video of them playing in their pool in the summer or in the snow in the winter!
I‘m in love with your wish to make it look realistic. I never thought of what an elephant house would actually look like in a real zoo and I didn’t know that the males are separated from the females either. Really good job! 😳💞
Dear Geekism! I thank you so much for the Cologne Elephant House!!! I live in Cologne and my (longterm ;-) )PZ-projekt is to build the Zoo of my hometown. Unfortunately I am complete noob in building complex structures. So how happy I was to find this on steam workshop :-D If you ever visit Cologne be shure to contact me, some rounds of the Cologne Beer "Kölsch" will be your reward at least :-D
Nice Build. I always wish i would have such patiance to build such things. Funfact: the habitat in Cologne is a former Bicycle Race Track. Thats where i got its size from. Ofc they added a lot of stuff to it. I wish the publishers will add birds in the future. I would love to build big aviarys with diffrent climates in it. People enter it via entrance and exit and you can have diffrent birds from various continents in it which have the same needs. Keep going. Love you videos
I've been playing this game since Saturday and I love it, I discovered your channel and 2 other youtubeurs (Deladysigner and PaulsLay) at the same time and I want to tell you that you sell me dreams, you do such beautiful things, I don't have as much imagination and I love to see what you create. Thank you.
I'm planning on recreating the old elephant house located at Taronga Zoo Sydney. It's designed to look like an Indian temple but by today's standards, it would be too small for an Asian Elephant to live in it. You can walkthrough it and there's information boards explaining the history of the house and methods they no longer use on taming the elephants. Nearby, there's a giant elephant barn that is more modern that houses the zoo's bull elephant which is out of the view from guests.
Sadly my laptop died, but Geekism made me laugh with the F's so I guess that's a good way to end the day. Now it's time to go sleep and lay in bed awake worrying about the money for a new laptop. Also since you have a cat in your home, does that make your home a habitat as well?
This habiat looks so cool! By the way, Acacias is pronounced just as you said it, but the c is pronounced as a 'sh' sound. You got the vowel sounds right though. Interesting fact: the reason they are in an umbrella shape is because animals such as giraffes will chew all the young leaves off underneath and then you're left with an umbrella shaped tree :)
I tried the same sort of “split habitat” with bears as well, and it was even worse. Despite not having access to the extra bear (i had my current breeding pair in together on one side and another female on the other, intending to switch them off with the male) the two that were together still argued over the social limit. While fun and realistic to play with, I agree that it’s probably better to have two separate habitats, pretty up their “access” points with null barriers and scenery, and move them manually when you want them together instead of opening a door like I tried 😞
God the elephants are gorgeous in this game, definitely something I'll be working towards when I finally get to playing. You did well giving the exhibit some flair without being plain but I wonder if you overdid it with the large rocks on the ground. Perhaps the only criticism I have is that you build with so many pieces that only the very best computers can run it in a full zoo. This build is great inspiration but not easily plopped down. I suggest you find a balance in that, like making a lite version.
The ditch is so cool! Only ever seen those once before at a zoo in France (check out Chateau Bourbansais). They look amazing and are so natural but it's really scary when you're 5 metres away from a pack of wolves and there's only what looks like a tiny ditch between you.
A sound from English that comes very close to 'ö' is 'ea' from 'earth'. So instead of curling your tongue back like when saying 'o' you push your tongue against your lower front teeth while keeping everything else the same. Also, if there is no trouble with copyright and it's not too much effort I would love the occasional picture from the zoos you reference. If you omit them on purpose just ignore, love the videos!
I hope they bring out a petting zoo dlc with pigs and goats and horses and chickens and rabbits 😂 with walk through goat enclosures and the goats terrorise the guests for food 😂😂😂
You come close to the ö in Köln if you speak it like the o in world. :) If you find a good source or are in germany any day, you should definately check out Zoo Hannover. It's highly themed but soooo beautiful. Great content as always. Thank you so much for all the reasearch you do. I like that style of video a lot.
Beautiful build! I'm new to PZ and didn't know that things like logs could be used to block animals. Yet, I've seen guests walk through centerpieces. Is there a way to know what objects have physics for guests and animals?
@@Geekism - thank you! I am constantly amazed at the number of little tricks I learn watching you do your thing. I also built a new high-end computer for this game. I'm very glad I did! I haven't had any problems yet but knowing that gorgeous fancy roof lagged yours, I know what kind of building to avoid.
Did you know: elephants can communicate by using very low frequencies, which travel several miles, and is then picked up by other elephants through their feet.
Bottom right is a little square icon and you can use that to select things when they aren't in a group. If they are in a group you can just click and drag as long as you are editing the group
I have an odd cat story. A few weeks ago I was playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey and fighting Medusa. The fight was frustrating because I kept wiping. After half a dozen wipes, I was so close to killing her, but at the very last second, I wiped. Man, I was pissed! In my frustration, I expressively exclaimed excessive explosive expletives. As a result, I startled the cat, who had been curled up on my lap fast asleep. The frighted feline dug its claws into my legs, narrowly missing my unmentionables, and my balls. It unceremoniously lept from my lap and bolted out the back door, into the nighttime of my garden, vanishing into the darkness. Now. Here's the odd part of the story. I don't own a cat. 0.o
Males can live with females as long as there's only 1 bull, I went to Chester yesterday and they have a bull that lives in the main reserve but he also has a section of the house that is specific to him but the keeper said that most of the time he's in with the females
I keep having trouble getting items, such as construction objects, to duplicate so I can just move over with the x fine modification key. Can you or anyone tell me how to do that? I have "shift x" but it does not help. I think I am doing it incorrectly. I would appreciate your help. Thank you!
I did this split exhibit in franchise for gorillas for the challenge. It’s two separate exhibits so that I can have twice as many females and then I just move the male back and forth to get everyone pregnant
This game uses too much from your graphic card. I play a lot of games on this computer, never had any problems. Since I play planet zoo I experienced lag for the first time in forever :'(
I downloaded Planet Zoo, and it would not launch so I had to get a refund. I’m very disappointed and when the problem is fixed I will try to get it again.

I loved that you measured the amount of doors you needed for the accordion style doors.
Details! :D

“The f’s, fight or fff...fornicate” my family were concerned because of the noise this caused me to make 😂
I absolutely love all of the little details like making the logs uneven and the small rocks in the ground, anyways keep up the good work👍

This elephant house is gorgeous! I look forward to seeing some actual gameplay with the elephants.
Nobody:
Jonti: "Whale for scale"
I’m from Cologne and when you mentioned it my heart jumped a little bit 😍
I mean, the creativity that goes into this. Speechless
I saw that thumbnail and thought „that’s my home city zoo“! Greetings from Cologne!

absolutely incredible!
I love that you used the cologne zoo as inspiration!!! I live near this exact zoo and I visit it like 3 times a year it’s awesome!!
I want to see the cat (and I’m always amazed by how creative and patient you are)
You should have added a large thick baobab tree. Elephants love them.
Just WOOOAAAH ! what a build. very amazing.

Yep! I agree with all of that... but hey, we have to try to learn these things right? :D
Once again amazing; keep it up! Thanks again for taking the time to help on Discord. Have a good one
Beautiful! So much inspiration

Wow just beautiful!
every time i watch your vids i learn something new :)
I’m love this😳 your work is so good 😊
Great build!
My cat was sitting with me, and your cat meowing set mine off.😂Zeeva was also very confused
Nice build mate keep them coming, i love this game a loads!!
I am half German and visit my grandma a lot . Köln is one of the only huge zoos in my range I've not been to
Lovely as usual! Would you consider putting pictures of your inspiration in these builds?
Oh Jonti, your day sounds so tough, just how do you cope? :P
I know! God forbid I ever have to do a real job again... I won’t know what hit me! Lol
Sign me up for that "send the wife off to work, send the son to daycare" so I can build zoos all day package!

love this habitat! (and your cat - cute!)
Always looking foward to your vids
Beautiful build! I'm new to PZ and didn't know that things like logs could be used to block animals. Yet, I've seen guests walk through centerpieces. Is there a way to know what objects have physics for guests and animals?
As a rule of thumb, ALL objects have collision for animals and none have it for guests (the exception being trash cans and benches)

Will this be on Steam Workshop?
Ok nvm
Awesome vidios keep up the good work
The ö in Köln is pronounced the same way as the i in dirty :D
Are you going to do one for Indian elephants?
In the future, perhaps!
Love your vids!
Did you know: elephants can communicate by using very low frequencies, which travel several miles, and is then picked up by other elephants through their feet.
Look at Hanover Zoo or Hagenbeck in Hamburg
Keep it up man, love it
how do i multiselect by dragging? i cant for the life of me figure it out
same question
Bottom right is a little square icon and you can use that to select things when they aren't in a group.
If they are in a group you can just click and drag as long as you are editing the group
@@noahzabala6931 check my other comment in here
Please make an okapi exhibit!
You mean the cologne zoo? In Germany we call this town Köln😂

speed! like the sonic movie, speaking of that, whats your opinion on it?
I haven't seen it, sorry!
My cat Salem does the same thing. Hes noisey. He walks around crying for no reason.
Rip I'm late😅😔
in a zoo in the netherlands they have the ditch for the elephants but they still have fences for the people not the elephants i find that funny
Now I hate my elephant habitat. LOL.
First commentary please heart
Me with my ugly zoo: I'm not crying༎ຶ‿༎ຶ

its this for download? :D
Yep, check the description :)
what would happen if you house an elephant with a pride of lions? Will they actually attack? I'm asking for a friend
I did this split exhibit in franchise for gorillas for the challenge. It’s two separate exhibits so that I can have twice as many females and then I just move the male back and forth to get everyone pregnant
Elephant don’t play kick ball
Why aren't you putting ads in your videos it would make more money
I select space for adverts to go into every video. Although it isn't up to me if you are actually served an advert. That's down to Google :)
