Building an Ethical Underwater Viewing Habitat for Sun Bears

[@Darkviney]

Hey, Paws! I've studied zoo management a little and have actually been an intern zookeeper. I just wanted to make some suggestions about the keepers in your ethical zoo based on my actual experience: While most zoos generally have habitats grouped together by the region the animals living in them are from (just like your zoo here), they tend to divide up the keepers based on animal type. For instance, the zoo I worked at had the following departments: aquatics, herptiles, birds & small mammals, and mammals. Large departments like mammals were further divided into subdepartments, such as carnivores, hoofstock, and primates. The zoo as a whole also had floating keepers who were usually assigned to 2 or 3 smaller departments and some keepers who floated within the larger departments. Basically, I think your keepers might end up being more efficient if you divide them up by animal type within each region of the zoo, and then have floaters within each region. Most larger zoos do something similar. These are my main suggestions: 1. In each region, have 1 or 2 floating keepers. 2. Divide the other keepers in each region into these or similar categories: herptiles & invertebrates, hoofstock, carnivorous mammals, primates, birds, aquatic mammals, and small & medium mammals. You could even broaden "aquatic mammals" into aquatics, covering things like penguins and fish if you ever do put any into your zoo. You could even move things like crocodilians and water monitors into aquatics, but I would suggest leaving them with herptiles or making a separate aquatic reptiles group. Frogs and salamanders are best left with general herptiles. 3. For all multi-species habitats, have 2-3 keepers dedicated solely to those habitats. Sorry for the length of this comment, I just wanted to provide suggestions based on my actual knowledge of zoo management. I don't even know if my suggestions would work in Planet Zoo, but I wanted to provide them just in case!

Wow, that’s a lot of words😅

[@KaterTotz]

Definitely going to keep this in mind if i ever get the game! Thank you for your knowledge!😊

[@manonkuntz3445]

I just downloaded the game (console version) I'll keep in mind your suggestion. So clever ! Thank you so much.

[@macattac6643]

For anyone who's watching this on the 24th when it came out and doesn't already have planet zoo, it's on sale rn for like $16, also, really love this series

[@Piddypng]

Offer ends on the 29th of July too

[@AccordingtoJexi]

I wish I could bottle up the feeling I get when I see a new Paws Build video and save it for times when I need a little boost!

[@pineapplelegends3477]

I was so excited when I saw that you added the Sun bear as a Malaysian, the Sun bear is my favourite bear! I was wondering if you could name one of the bears, Madu. Madu is the malay word for honey and I thought it'd be cute! I've been binge watching your Ethical zoo series for about 2 weeks and I've always wanted to leave a comment for a name suggestion😃👍

[@GamingSub_]

Good vid,Paws but I have one suggestion:that you should have a welcome to (what section you are entering) for example ”welcome to the African section,home of the cheetah”

[@SBry22]

Been binge watching the back catalogue of planet zoo over the last few weeks can’t believe I’m up to date with videos and the series is still going 🥳

[@princessfairytroll]

Thanks for making the barriers of this habitat align with the curvature of the paths! It looks so much more realistic. This might be your best build yet!

[@PawsBuild]

Thanks it did take a while haha! Glad you appreciate it ☺️

[@potatopatahto]

I'm so excited for this!!! Sun Bears are one of my favorite animals 🥰🥰

[@susanne4882]

I've been watching your video's since before the Eco zoo. I dont think I've ever commented but I wanted to say that you're an amazing youtuber and I absolutely love your video's. They are very entertaining and your voice is very soothing Plus the great building is amazing!

[@SillyGooseGracie]

Can you please name one Goose? That was the name of my cat that died in February 😢

[@reginagarciaoliveira]

Get this to top comment so paws sees this. I am so sorry for your loss, i know the feeling of losing something you love

[@SmashGuys21]

Of 1943? 💀💀💀

[@SillyGooseGracie]

@@reginagarciaoliveira thank you 😊

[@rowanmccracken5041]

Signal booooost!!!

[@Alfieriddle2809]

I really hopes paws sees this, so sorry for your loss ❤

[@cho7879]

props to you paws! I would have screamed the whole time fixing those barriers 😂😂😂😂

[@CFB_Content]

You know it’s gonna be a great day when PawsBuild uploads!

[@ginks123]

paws you should put habitat cameras in the bear caves, that would be so fun!

[@me-si4xx]

I started watching on the second video of the eco zoo, and in between every episode I would binge you previous zoo's. My favorite channel by far!

[@PawsBuild]

Thank you that’s so kind! I really appreciate your support ☺️

[@millahenderson9340]

I love this series so much 💗💗 it would be amazing to see a video with a tour of the whole zoo once you finish building all the habitats

[@AnimeEditsByMeh]

Luvvv the video cant wait for the next one ❤❤

[@xricea6102]

it would probably be easier to change the vet surnames to their region instead of checking every time, plus susie zoo sounds cool

[@HenryKeable-gl1wz]

Hey paws I’ve been subbed for quite a while now you have became my number 1 planet zoo / off all time KZbinr I love the way you deal with scenarios and how long of a patience span you have I can’t decorate habitats with treees or bushes like that without making it look bad thanks for reading this number 1 fan weeble

[@PawsBuild]

Thank you that’s very kind and I’m so glad you’re enjoying the channel! ☺️

[@NorthernWolfSoul]

Using the angled/triangular construction pieces could make the transition to the double height walls look better. As well as the taller walls as the terrain gets higher both in this and other habitats

[@bellibooo]

My morning just got infinitely better 🤩🐻🐻‍❄🧸 ❤ Thanks Paws, for always giving us quality content.

[@PawsBuild]

Thank you! I’m so glad you’re enjoying ☺️

[@Luvbug006]

Im first :D I love it it all looks!

[@taylorjaffe8299]

Sun Bear names: Pooh for the male and Elderflower for the female, because they love honey!

[@sjordan9355]

Would actually love if you put together a playlist of al the music you use for these vids! Half the time I'm just vibing out with the nice beats and getting chores done lol!

[@PawsBuild]

I’m actually just using the game’s soundtrack which you can probably find on KZbin - it’s called “You, me and other animals” ☺️

[@FluffHyune]

Paws, have you considered uploading your builds to the steam workshop?? I love your builds and would love to implement them into my own parks!

[@Mets2015WorldSeries]

It would technically be most ethical to have no speakers spill into the habitats so that when you send animals into the wild they aren’t as used to humans

[@SirOwlsworth]

i was wondering when he notices that the sunbears can basically jump the guests on the head :>

[@kacpergochowiak397]

Sun bears can go into one exhibit with binturongs maybe you should concider adding them

[@lukahprimo]

Hi Paws, The Sun Bear actually has an unique enrichment (the hammock) its really fun, and also, i reserved a workzone just for the Exhibit animals maybe that will work for you

[@kamiforbush5703]

The zoo is looking really great! I think it would be a cute idea if you added a mini farm in the zoo, like a kids petting zoo. I think that would be really cute. 🥰

[@PawsBuild]

Thanks! That’s such a cute idea too ☺️

[@caminur]

Meu deus como eu gosto desses videossss

[@annina134]

Hi Paws!! 👋👋

[@Ryneoceros]

You should totally name one of the bears Honey. I have no idea if that one was already said but it just fits too well.

[@josesalinasmorales5332]

Some Asian subspecies of brown bear also have chest markings.

[@E_Scopee]

Dang it hasn’t even been 2 minutes

[@PadenMichelle]

Oh how I wish to be a planet zoo sun bear in your zoo

[@areie2051]

Honestly Paws! How do you not have 87957945797593 subs? Your vids are amazing. Just got done binging all of them! Made my night to see a new one pop up.

[@PawsBuild]

Hahaha thank you that’s v kind! ☺️

[@HeatherForan]

Sunny for one of them since there sun bears

[@gerritvalkering1068]

there's a setting to turn off how barriers interact with altering terrain

[@mariannefoucrault]

Since they are also called honey bears, pretty please! Name one Pooh!! ❤

[@PawsBuild]

Great name suggestion thank you! ☺️

[@gordonmorgan3131]

Can you name a moonbear or sunbear Beelz after my cat ? She looks like a sunbear she's very mischievous and fat, i adore her for this bc it REALLY makes her look like a tiny bear

[@Gamez_Pokemon]

Can you please get a albino wisent it would add good contrast to the Europe section

[@harrisonedwards3918]

first ;)

[@eholmes0462]

The male sun bear should be named Surya after the Thailand sun god.

[@Wodfamchocsod4]

I don't think you ever fixed the problem with the gift shop, so people can't use the loo you put in there. Definitely time to work on customer satisfaction again!

[@PawsBuild]

Unfortunately I don’t think it works in the game - at least on this save 😅 will have to see if it works in future zoos

[@AustinChalut-hs4fp]

Can you name a sun bear honey named after my dog

[@EmīlsRožuleja]

can you name one sun bear honeypot

[@_MASTER-PKG69]

When u start the indian section of the zoo can u pls name the first male u add in Pratham (means first in hindi) and as an extra bonus thats my name😊😊😅

[@jamieeli444]

Will you name an animal Molé after a friend of mine’s cat who passed? He was the best cat ever! 🐈‍⬛

[@bjam89]

ok what is up with the power in this game, why did they go for a radius like that, why not a power grid? why do the stuff break down so often?

[@PawsBuild]

Haha I know it’s definitely something I’d change if I could - would be more fun imo if they just had an amount of power (like a number) you produced with power generators and then all your buildings and education cost power to run it ☺️

[@bjam89]

@@PawsBuild jup, maybe have a new speaker system with clear sound and muddled sound, like the further away from a speaker system you are the less you get from it, and if you have too many different too close and whatnot

[@MrGreenMonkey-p4x]

Why don’t you call one joy from inside out 😊

[@PawsBuild]

Thanks for the name suggestion ☺️

[@Pukei-Lukei]

You should name the male sun bear “Pooh” after Winnie the Pooh
