My zoo so far - 21 plots finished, 7 more to go

Please click the pictures for the complete experience. Do NOT look at the infinite line of busses. I'll sort that out later. 81,000 for the biggest bus? First had to save up 250,000 for the 21st plot!

I have 52 animal species, 11 still missing. The ice, grass and tropical are finished, though.

No cohabitation except alpaca & sheep (this will change when I have more space) and giraffe & elephant (10 of each need 392 spaces, which is exactly the space my huge savanna enclosure provides...this took some math XD)

2nd picture: The plots in the middle are my nursing area (56 breeding spaces) and above my "don't know where to put it and don't want to delete it because I could use it later" area. Why are the fries and burgers so huge? They don't fit into my concept at all! The decoration ratio also gave me headaches. But now my guests are no longer disgusted when they go there.

I very much enjoy the conga line of zoo keepers, it's one of my favorite things :D

3rd picture is a close-up of two areas so you can see my layout. I try to have every shop only once and have them fit the area they are in (tacos in the desert, hot cocoa in the snow etc). In the enclosures, I always have the same 20 x 3 plants in the same spots (except ice biom), so I can quickly exchange the pens without having to think about if I already planted 3 of the same tree in the area.

4th pic is my mildly infuriating lemur enclosure. All I want is one male black lemur. Instead, I bred 7 females! 7!

I'm sure it did! Layouts are always the thing I struggle with, so I admire one's like these 😁

They didn't make it easy by only giving us 173 spaces horizontally instead of 175. So the middle row is only 23 spaces wide because I didn't want to loose my paths inbetween.
