I picked Planet Zoo up over Christmas in the sales and I've had great fun binging this series for inspiration and also to just generally learn the game. I can't produce anything close to as good as your exhibits but I'd like to think mine have improved since becoming a viewer. And obviously as elephants are the best animal at any zoo this is the best one yet. Chester's one of the few (possibly the only) zoos to almost always keep their bull with the cows and calves. Aung Bo is a very good dad, it's a shame he's moving some time soon. Funnily enough your exhibit is quite similar to the new one being built at Tierpark Berlin, which is definitely worth looking at if just because it's a hugely impressive building and series of enclosures. One interesting thing they will have there, and is currently at Schonbrunn among others, is a deep pool by the guests effectively giving underwater viewing. They're definitely a contrast to the one I know best, which is Whipsnade's giant field (and soon to be EVEN bigger, the largest one of any zoo, at least in Europe). There's so many different ways to design elephant enclosures, but I shall be shamelessly re-stealing your ideas for when I end up building one.
Hey man I've only starting watching since Tuesday and I'm absolutely addicted! Can't wait to see the next exhibit in every episode. Loved the cappuchin and gibbon exhibit! I'm a huge reptile keeper/ enthusiast myself and would love to see more reptiles in the zoo!
The walls also have holes in them at different heights that the keepers sporadically fill with treats from behind, really cool build immediately recognised it was Chester from the thumbnail 👍
You can have trees within the elephant enclosure by creating sort of islands of tall rocks, fill up the middle with soil and plant the trees in there. They'll stick out high enough above the elephants so that they do not ruin the branches and they can't reach the trunk either. I can't remember where, but I've seen it in a zoo before. It of course takes up a lot of space, but it does add a welcome splash of colour and plant life in what is otherwise a rather desert-like enclosure. But the enclosure you made already looks really cool! The diagonal bars on the fences are really clever.
Thanks for the tip, I actually did that for the Rhinos but I wanted a different look for the Elephants. They're going to get their own little forest next week anyway 😁
I can’t express how impressed I’m, i don’t know if you gonna read or not but I rewatched all ur videos on this zoo and slowly trying to catch up. Amaizng pond and wallls Absolutely stunning
i was so happy when i saw the slate pillars in the thumbnail, i love them oh so much and use them fairly frequently. if you go to my workshop there are 6 things im happy with in planzo, 5 of which being slate rocks and the other one being my makeshift pack
Id love to think someday someone will come across this series with ALOT of money and go "This might be cool If we build it for real." Ofcourse that's a 1 in a trillion chance... But that means there is a chance.... ;) Great video as always, keep up the good work! :D
I always love watching your videos. Every week I want upload day to come quicker. I know Africa is not done but it already look so good. Keep up the good work ZHS!
Lovely episode as always ZSH! Im thinking for the next elephant episode maybe check out Valencia's Biopark - they have some interesting rock and water features as well as pathing! It's a beautiful biopark in general which may help with inspiration or creation in the future? See you next week! ;)
Thanks for the tip, not the first time I've had that zoo recommended. I'm almost finished with the other half so too late for that but I will check it out!
I watched 54 EPISODES IN TWO DAYS I’m loving the series man and you have inspired me to make a beautiful zoo when the Xbox version comes out Waiting for the North American area
Looks absolutely amazing! I was wondering where you make your research at? Do you use a specific database? Thank you in advance for your hard work at this zoo, it looks absolutely amazing
Looks really nice! Are you gonna build an enclosure for Asian elephants as well? I suggest you could try to recreate the enclosure of Pairi Daiza (Belguim)
Question about the franchise masters tip: if guests can see another exhibit (ex. the elephants) from a different exhibit, wouldn't it result in them saying "the view of the African Elephants from here is bad"? (or whatever the exact complaint phrase is)
Are you currently building in franchise even with all of the issues? I don’t know when the money and conservation points became unlimited.. did I miss something?
No this is a sandbox version of a franchise save from the day after xmas. Franchise is working fine now but Frontier were unable to replace the 150 animals I lost so I'm currently working on buying them back. Once I do I will blueprint everything I've built since xmas and move it back to frachise. Hopefully for next week's episode!
I was kind of expecting the Indian Elephants honestly, especially since theyre more common in zoos. Oh, and also, will you be looking forward to going back to Franchise once its fixed or will the rest of San Bernandino zoo be set in Sandbox mode?
I've been teasing African Elephants for months 😆I am actually spending today building a breeding zoo to start getting enough CC to fix SBZ now that Franchise Mode is fixed, watch this space!
Yo man, you've made me a planet zoo enthusiast in the past 3 weeks with this series, sbz is so incredible and the best zoo series ive seen on youtube!
Aw thank you so much!
I learnt from you the importance of taking my time and giving myself space to explore my creativity. Amazing build
Thanks!
Yes yes yes that is the exact replica of Chester zoos I noticed it in the thumbnail.🐘
Excellent!
Same going there today actually!

Thanks for the info! I'll check out Tierpark as I've not seen that one.
I love how impactful the stacked rock walls are! It's such a simple concept but it really adds so much character. Amazing work as always!
Thanks!
I've been here since your second episode and you always continue to make incredible videos! Keep up the good work.
Wow, thanks!
Ooh that rockwork better end up on the workshop, looks sick man
Thanks dude! I hadn't thought about it but will add it once I've finished everything!
I agree. The waterfall enrichment is one of the ugliest and I never know what to do with it. The rockwork on it actually looks decent
Incredible building as usual😊. I went to my local zoo today and there was a newly born addax calf there. It was so cute.
Thanks! Aw that sounds cute!
Hey man I've only starting watching since Tuesday and I'm absolutely addicted! Can't wait to see the next exhibit in every episode. Loved the cappuchin and gibbon exhibit! I'm a huge reptile keeper/ enthusiast myself and would love to see more reptiles in the zoo!
Thanks! I've toyed with the idea of a reptile house but not got to it yet.
Big Toot-toots :)
I hope Aardvarks will be present someday as well
Hah never heard them called that before, I like it!
Yahoo! Finally, my favourite animals are here! It’s such beautiful build by the way. It’s always so fascinating on how u build each habitat.😊😊😊🐘🐘🐘🐘
Yay, thank you!
The walls also have holes in them at different heights that the keepers sporadically fill with treats from behind, really cool build immediately recognised it was Chester from the thumbnail 👍
OH MY GOD I FORGOT TO DO THAT! It was even in my notes, I noticed that at Chester

Amaizng pond and wallls
Absolutely stunning
Thank you! I read every comment, I only respond to the good ones though 😉
Very nice, many ideas here I will be adapting for my Indian Elephants
Thanks!

if you go to my workshop there are 6 things im happy with in planzo, 5 of which being slate rocks and the other one being my makeshift pack
Thanks! I just stole it from Chester Zoo though to be honest!
Immediately recognised Chester Zoo from the thumbnail ❤❤
Good spot!
bean there recently
@@jameswhite4987 it's a lovely zoo. Been a few times myself, can't wait to see the new Africa zone
@@nobodyshekatonchires same the heart of africa!!!
@@ZSHplays whenever i build elephane habitats it looks like they pooed on land. This is rlly going to inspire me!
The elephants are looking good. I can't wait to see the rest.
Awesome!
Love that layered rock work. I’ll have to check out some pictures of that Seoul zoo - must be cool to see elephants in the forest!
Thanks Ralph! Some lovely shots on zoochat.
Beautiful build for these beautiful creatures. Awesome work once again :)
Thanks Explorer!
Id love to think someday someone will come across this series with ALOT of money and go "This might be cool If we build it for real."
Ofcourse that's a 1 in a trillion chance... But that means there is a chance.... ;)
Great video as always, keep up the good work! :D
Haha thank you! If you ever find yourself in Singapore you can see a good chunk of it there 😁
Litterly been waiting all week for this video and it didnt disappoint. Wonderfull habitat!
Aw thank you so much!
I always love watching your videos. Every week I want upload day to come quicker. I know Africa is not done but it already look so good. Keep up the good work ZHS!
Thanks!
I knew it was based on Chester Zoo as soon as I saw the thumbnail. Great work 🙂
Thanks!
Lovely episode as always ZSH! Im thinking for the next elephant episode maybe check out Valencia's Biopark - they have some interesting rock and water features as well as pathing! It's a beautiful biopark in general which may help with inspiration or creation in the future? See you next week! ;)
Thanks for the tip, not the first time I've had that zoo recommended. I'm almost finished with the other half so too late for that but I will check it out!
Can´t wait to see what you have in store @@ZSHplays !
My fiancée washed these elephants at Chester zoo last year with the big water cannon!! I recognised it instantly from the thumbnail, great work 🎉 🐘
Well, that is Oddly Specific 😆
I admire your ideas and videos, I'm always looking forward to new ones!Very cool😍
Thanks!
Amazing video ❤😊
Thanks!
Amazing video made by a amazing creator
Aw thanks!
I love the Chester zoo design it brings back memories
Thanks!
I love ELEPHANTS🤩🤩🤩🤩 they are my fav herbivores! Loved the habitat great vid as always Frd!
Thanks!
WHOO WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE GANG!
Enjoy!
I watched 54 EPISODES IN TWO DAYS
I’m loving the series man and you have inspired me to make a beautiful zoo when the Xbox version comes out
Waiting for the North American area
WOW! Great work! Welcome to the channel!
Another great habitat from the undisputed planet zoo goat!
Another great video my guy!
Thanks!
My favourite animal is in SBZ 🥰 Really looking forward to seeing how this forest between the two habitats comes together!
Whoop woop!
another banger vid KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry i was late some fam problems
Hey I don't mind when you watch it 😆 Thank you!
It could be so cool if you made a mountain/arctic biom next!!!
I think you will enjoy the final section in the zoo then 😁
Looks absolutely amazing! I was wondering where you make your research at? Do you use a specific database? Thank you in advance for your hard work at this zoo, it looks absolutely amazing
Thanks! Normally I use a mix of my own zoo visits, the animal care manual and zoo chat
The Planet Zoo GOAT doesnt miss🙌🙌
Thanks!
i love Chester zoo i live in north Wales so its not too far away. i recommend you go to Welsh mountain zoo in Colwyn bay if you haven't already.
Ooh I've heard of that! Would love to go!
@@ZSHplays it's not very big but it's still a good place
Fantastic build! I do think that it could be cool if you put in some dirt/mud mixed with the sand
There is, the habitat I based it on is pure sand though so I just mixed some in for the looks
Amazing build and amazing park
Thanks!
Love the build! Are going to build a night house in the zoo?❤❤❤
Thanks! I am planning one!
Looks really nice! Are you gonna build an enclosure for Asian elephants as well? I suggest you could try to recreate the enclosure of Pairi Daiza (Belguim)
I don't think so. I have so many things I want to build still and I don't want to fill the map and get 1fps 😆
your to good at planet zoo!
Thanks!
This Habitat looks amazing, also I am just wondering are you planning on making a North American area?
Thanks! That's the plan!
great video for great animals not as great as wombats but still great😍
Haha thanks!
I love idea of the wooded area for the elephants! Do you know how many Asian areas there will be coming up in the zoo?
Just the 1 I think but maybe more!
Elephants can climb horizontal bars? 😲
According to the care manual!
Love the video ❤😊
Thanks again 😆
Great as always you could probably become an actual zoo designer
Thanks!
Wow,it’s so nice
Thanks!
can you build the golden takin mountains from pairi daiza
Maybe!
Do you think you could try playing Prehistoric Kingdom? Its like Planet Zoo bit with accurate Dinosaurs and its pretty fun!
It looks pretty good but I don't have time for other games 😁
@ZSHplays that's fair, can't wait to see more of San Bernardino!
Question about the franchise masters tip:
if guests can see another exhibit (ex. the elephants) from a different exhibit, wouldn't it result in them saying "the view of the African Elephants from here is bad"? (or whatever the exact complaint phrase is)
I don't think it would affect them from this far, I hadn't considered it to be honest! I will report back when it is finished!
Yay a me habitat
Haha yes!
You should build for Lions soon
We will be!
I like elephants.
Haha glad to hear it!

@@ZSHplays Oh Ok. Thanks so much for responding 😊. I was just wondering because I know a lot of creators were having issues with franchise mode.
Anyone else excited Planet Zoo is coming to Console
How much of Africa is left after the elephants are complete?
Just the Lions to go!
san zoo bernard is my favorite real life zoo can i go here i am able to yes
You will always be welcome Leaf 😆
I was kind of expecting the Indian Elephants honestly, especially since theyre more common in zoos.
Oh, and also, will you be looking forward to going back to Franchise once its fixed or will the rest of San Bernandino zoo be set in Sandbox mode?
I've been teasing African Elephants for months 😆I am actually spending today building a breeding zoo to start getting enough CC to fix SBZ now that Franchise Mode is fixed, watch this space!
Chester Zoo Contest How Many Times Have You Gone? Ive Gone Around 100 Times
I think we can safely call you the winner 😁 I've been once!
Hello
Hello!
I need two videos a week 😭😭😭
If only I had the time!
what... This thing is still going on? i got lost since you built the flamingo habitat, i need a recap!!!!111111!!!!111
Wow that was a year ago 😆
Bro it literally says he has unlimited cash at the bottom, he said he was in franchise mode
The zoo had to temporarily be moved to sandbox due to the franchise server issues, it moves back to franchise shortly after this episode
🦣
👌
First
Congrats!
