London Zoo 1904 Carnivore Terrace Tour

[@Catherine-j4e]

I've just spent hours trying to recreate the geography of London Zoo in 1855 for a children's novel I'm writing. It's just incredible to see it brought to life like this - thank you so much. This is the exact part of the zoo I needed!

[@ralphthestick]

@@Catherine-j4e amazing - glad it’s been useful! Let me know if I can help if there are any bits you’re struggling with!

[@Catherine-j4e]

@@ralphthestick Thank you, I will, but I think that my own research plus your wonderful video has pretty much sorted everything for me. I just stumbled on your video by googling Carnivore Terrace!

[@ZSHplays]

Love it!

[@ralphthestick]

Glad to hear it!

[@wolfystein1]

Beautiful Job as always. Hope you are doing well.

[@ralphthestick]

@@wolfystein1 thank you!

This was so cool! I loved hearing about the history of the zoo and how it's changed over time, as well as the story about the hat-nice little detail.

[@ralphthestick]

Thanks Sparrow! It's certainly changed a lot over the years, and changed very, very quickly right after this time period. Got to get those little Easter eggs in there, even if they're just for yourself!

You made this on Planet Zoo?!? It's absolutely fantastic and I love history, the old real world photos next to your creations were very good, and such interesting facts you shared. Subscribed 🇬🇧

[@ralphthestick]

@@gazf6163 thanks so much! Hopefully I’ll be able to put something else together before too long!

[@Nunovski04]

The proof that your recreations are good is that i get frustrated by the size of them. Congrats!

[@ralphthestick]

Yeah, this was definitely one of the tougher ones to actually get animals into - the bears in game are particularly big specimens!

[@andrewchandler625]

Another really interesting video! Love the Easter egg of the man’s hat!

[@ralphthestick]

Thanks pal!

[@SlayerMoon98]

Fascinating! I adore this series. Great work!

[@ralphthestick]

Thank you very much!

I had to come back to watch again. I wonder if in another 100 years people will look at our zoo practices of today in the same way we look at those of the past, in the same uneasy way?

[@ralphthestick]

@@gazf6163 thanks Gaz, good to know I’ve got some repeat customers! Interesting question - I suppose that’s the hope really, isn’t it? To assume we’re doing things the best they could possibly be done is to stop trying to improve

[@dodoxasaurus6904]

damn no fencing on the platform around the bear pit?

[@ralphthestick]

Not that I could see in any of the references. Health and Safety hadn't been invented yet…

[@Cy10280]

Amazing!

[@ralphthestick]

Thank you!

[@Cy10280]

Also I have a question, do you plan on adding thylacines to the zoo? If so, will you use a mod or a faux one similar to faux birds? Just curious.

[@ralphthestick]

I do indeed - there were thylacines in the zoo in the year 1904. I’ll probably use the dhole or something while I’m still building, but might get some modded species in once the entire zoo is finished so I can keep a finished version ‘safe’

[@jacobwalls1686]

Can’t wait for the entire zoo to be on the workshop I’m very eager to walk through myself.

[@ralphthestick]

Me neither... Turns out working three jobs really eats into historical zoo building time!

[@jacobwalls1686]

Understand perfectly. Still excited I love exploring the houses you upload.

[@lisaroske8300]

Love it! ♥

Thank you!

Hello, Ralph Stickley, put the London 1904 Zoo in the steam workshop, it will be very interesting for us to see.Hello, Ralph Stickley, put the London 1904 Zoo in the steam workshop, it will be very interesting for us to see.

[@ralphthestick]

I definitely want other people to be able to explore it - once it's all done and completed, it will be going up on the Workshop, but I've still got a lot of work to do yet! Some individual buildings are up on the Workshop already.

[@andregames8487]

@@ralphthestick in your videos I saw that alpaca and reptiles house is ready, but why you don't put in steam workshop?

[@ralphthestick]

@@andregames8487 Laziness and piece count respectively 😆I do need to do another batch of uploading to the workshop - I'll see if blueprinting the more piece-heavy buildings as habitats works when I have time to sit down and do it.
