Looks really great Bonnie, and your custom souvineer items look great in the shop :)9

What did you use for the bamboo in the Panda enclosure?

I really love it as well. And I too love the use of the old temple.

How did you get all those animal prints on the items in the gift shop?

This is a beautiful zoo.  The gift shop is my favourite, and all the different animals.  Well done.

Thanks so much everybody! :love:

@Damo: I really don't know exactly what that stuff is. My mom was throwing away some greenery a few years back and asked me if I could use any of it for playmobil. I spotted the potential of that stuff to look like bamboo and shaped it like that.

@Saskia: All of the prints are hand-drawn with a fine-tip permanent marker.

Amazing!  I had no idea that PM made so many different animals. 

(Me too ... There were one and another I really thought they hadn't done yet! ;D )

Hello @bonniebeth :wave:

I enjoyed it really much! Felt like I was visiting the Zoo! :)

(The shop is really awsome too ;) )

However :-[
~Shouldn't people be forbiden of feeding the animals? :hmm:
& ~In some places I felt there should be better protection between people & animals :o

It's a fantastic work, thanks for sharing! :) I guess most of us were longing for it for quite a while :yup:

They are only allowed to feed the giraffes, not the other animals, and they can only give them the lettuce leaves and specially formulated pelleted diet they buy there at the feeding station. ;) There's a keeper sitting there watching to make sure they don't feed them anything else. Giraffe-feeding stations are very common in zoos.

And yeah, I know.... some of the fences don't look like they'll hold the animals! :lol: Like the rhinos and jaguars. But most of the exhibits have invisible trenches that we can't see. :P

Impressive!
It's awesome to see such a large setup like this (my boy will go bonkers when I show him these pics :woohoo:!), but since it's in your parents dinning room, I magine you won't keep it up too long, will you? That's a problem when you start to get your themes too big, an issue that has giving me a lot to think about :-\.
Cheers!

Wow!  It's amazing.

I especially like the way you have incorporated lots of different sets like the temple and the conservatory and I love the cameras and binoculars all lined up in the gift shop.
