@ Luciano: Thanks! Yeah, I can only keep it up for two weeks. But setting it up is the fun part, anyway! So I'll get to do it again differently next time. ;D And I have a really really organized system of storing things, so that makes setting it up a lot easier.

@ Verity: Thank you! I have a lot of fun looking at all different themes to spot things I can use in my zoo. 8-)

It's an amazing set-up, Bonnie, truly impressive.   The polar bears caught my eye most.

Wow. That's GREAT!

Is that a brown elephant?

LOVED the vegetation near the pandas...

Yes, it's painted to be a bronze statue. I need to find something to use for a pedestal for it.

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.


Okay ... (Did you make it up, or have you actually seen it in a zoo? :P )

As for trenches (that's the word I was trying to remember), I guess they wouldn't be easy to do on a table diorama :-[

No seriously, it's becoming common at zoos around here. The beautiful beautiful beautiful BEAUTIFUL new african exhibit at the Dallas Zoo (seriously it's AWESOME) has a giraffe feeding station similar to this one where you can buy romaine lettuce leaves to feed the giraffes... for $4! :o And the Houston Zoo also has a giraffe feeding station. It's a nice way to interact with them up close. And they are such peaceful, gentle animals, with long eyelashes and beautiful long purple tongues that they wrap around the leaves. :love: I've fed giraffes pellets out of my hand before, and their soft little lips tickle your hand. I love giraffes... :cloud9:

Yes, most zoos are non-profit, so the prices of that and gifts and concessions all goes towards better care for the animals. That makes it a little easier to put up with the ridiculous prices of food and drinks!

Well, I'm not much into Playmo's modern themes but I must say this is an impressive setup with lots of details! :clap:
