Transforming a TERRIBLE Old Habitat into an Ethical Habitat! | San Bernardino Zoo | Planet Zoo

[@mehrsamyaghoubi91]

If you haven't already, add a sign similar to the one at the monorail station which explains how the habitat was once for the polar bears but was changed to a raccoon habitat because there wasn't enough space for them

[@ZSHplays]

Yeh I’ll do this before the final tour, ran out of time

[@cabbage2984]

The little bits of lore that you add make the zoo much more realistic and IMO a lot more solid and interesting. I love it!

[@nobodyshekatonchires]

Those poor irl Polar Bears! The build looks amazing as usual

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks!

[@malloryjonn3418]

I’m born and raised in Vancouver, this such a staple in our city and very cool to explore if you’re in the park. So cool to see you build this! :) it looks exactly like the real thing!

[@ZSHplays]

Thank you!

[@andromeda_lw]

Yeah! Raccoons are one the most underrated animals ❤ this crazy habitat suits their vibe perfectly 😂

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks!

[@Scorptique]

I love abandoned structures. This is perfect!! Please do more . I wanted to make a whole abandoned-looking zoo but got tired after the first building

[@lexiebutler1706]

Woo Stanley Park & Vancouver mentioned! Wish it was for something better than a sad and defunct zoo but putting raccoons in is very fitting since stanley park is basically run by them.

[@ZSHplays]

Hah, I wanna go there!

[@sparrow838_]

This build is SO your style and I love the updates you've made to it with the raccoons. I walked past this on my visit to Vancouver last year but totally forgot about it until this episode! May need to go visit Van again soon just to take a peek 👀

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks! Did you go to the aquarium?

[@sparrow838_]

@@ZSHplays I did! It was a great trip, weather was perfect for all of the animals to be out and about.

[@NewCascadia70]

Wow! Immediate memories of my childhood visiting Stanley Park!

[@ZSHplays]

Awesome!

[@joelmorris2997]

Absolutely LOVE this habitat and the lore behind it! Really enjoy your story making/commentary it really brings the zoo to life! One thing I would like to see added is a few climable branches for them to get round and I think it would look tie into more of the renovation, can’t wait to see what you cook up next 🔥

[@ZSHplays]

Yeh I’m not 100% happy with the ‘new’ version, will look to add more stuff

[@goodbyesheesha]

I passed by the old Stanley Park polar bear habitat recently and it is currently full of overgrown brambles and spotted towhee. Spotted towhee are my favourite local bird and it seems like a good habitat for them, at least.

[@ZSHplays]

Hah! More size appropriate I’m sure!

[@BaconBit_Builder]

Awesome build ZSH! The contrast of different colors and materials really makes it feel just right! Can’t wait to see the Polar Bears in their new and improved homes!

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks!

[@BirbMonster]

Really nice build! I love how you made a snippet of lore for the zoo :D

[@ZSHplays]

Glad you like it!

[@rutchjohnson]

Love this idea of taking old habitats and repurposing them in Planet Zoo. Great build! :)

[@ZSHplays]

Thank you! 😊

[@reblueka]

LOVE this idea & execution, you absolutely nailed the vibes! Such a good episode!

[@ZSHplays]

Thank you!

[@connoroneill9406]

I can’t believe how far along this zoo is getting 😢❤

[@ZSHplays]

I know!

[@jameswhite4987]

WOOOOOO i can see why your excited about this!!! Great video and storyline!

[@ZSHplays]

Thank you!! 😁

[@Xeveria98]

Absolutely fantastic episode 😍🤩

[@ZSHplays]

Thank you!

[@Cesar_Salad26]

I love the lore starting to develop

[@RSPGamez12]

Such an inspiration based on the modern zoo habitats. This build alone can be modified for most of the animals in the game with small and cool features. I guess polar bears not this week, perhaps next week or week after? (got excited with the cool intro). Either way it is great to see how many different habitat possibilities you can do with even such basic animals in the game like the raccoon. Keep up the amazing work!

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks!

[@melinastrindh2494]

When the series is done, are you able to make a compilation of all the franchise masters? Love the build as always

[@ZSHplays]

I've already done one, may do more though!

[@hannahbanana7182]

Omg yes!! I remember asking if raccoons were making it in because of the sign, love these little guys!

[@ZSHplays]

So cute

[@patriziobasilico4030]

I would love to see more often this kind of lore

[@ZSHplays]

Me to, it takes a lot of effort for a weekly series though

[@mistyquest7560]

From pandas to trash pandas! Seeing these guys take over an abandoned space is kinda perfect, looks like just the natural course of things

[@ZSHplays]

I hadn’t considered that but I like it now you mention it!

[@DeafeningZap]

Love the idea with the lore of this one man

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks!

[@-Czacho-]

Can't wait too see the polar Bear habbita

[@AlejandraJimenaDelosReyes]

I saw a picture of this habitat with 4 polar bears while it looks like it's similar in size to the indoors area for Sun Bear in Łódź Zoo.

[@ZSHplays]

Yeh it was pretty crazy

[@MrOtter1234]

I can't wait for the New Polar bear Exibith. I don't know how it's gonna look besides the terrain, but it's gonna be Amazing

[@ZSHplays]

That's the plan!

[@LionFireRG]

Hey ZSH! I absolutely love your videos and the amount of detail that you put into every habitat that you make. You were the main reason why I got interested in Planet Zoo. I jut have one question. I'm a console player and, like many people out there I'm sure, would love it if you would create some more builds on console so that we can use your creativity to help us in our builds. I know it's quite of a biggie but it would be really awesome. Again, love your vids and keep up the great work!

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks! I just don’t have time to do console as well I’m afraid, sorry

[@LionFireRG]

@@ZSHplays No worries. Keep up the great work!

[@LionFireRG]

@@ZSHplays Oh and do you have any tips for getting habitats to look as natural and as modern as you make them?

[@cyndakon1479]

I used to work at the Vancouver Aquarium! It does a much better job than the zoo did (although the penguin habitat is a little sad)

[@leon-y2i]

You are one off y idols to be real love your videos

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks!

[@JacquiArdley]

I know some people will be a bit disappointed that it wasn’t the poker bear habitat but if it’s by ZSH 11:36 plays you already know it’s gonna be a banger

[@burningcaiman]

1:20 hey Z fyi if you dupe the pieces around the column you dont need to leave the group and dupe the column as well, if you stay in the group and just dont select the column the gizmo will still be centered! it took me way too long to figure that out but i learned it eventually from poisonblade

[@ZSHplays]

I will investigate this 😁

[@megakoopa-pokemonandmore6152]

Anymore history on the other habitats of San Bernardino Zoo?

[@ZSHplays]

Most of the zoo is pretty new so not really. Obviously there’s the platypus, tropics house, monorail

[@noah_mantel]

surprised that this habitat wasn’t also in some way inspired by the old “bear pit” in the swiss capital of bern. they had something similar back in the day but built a newer much bigger and better one right next to it

[@ZSHplays]

Not seen that, old bear pits are always interesting though

[@rad_my_g]

In 3 weeks time, I think we’ll have a Frozen North tour. Next week’s the Wolverine and the following week is the Polar Bears finally!!!!!

[@ZSHplays]

There won't be a frozen north tour, it will be the end of the full zoo tour!

[@skibbitypapp]

Hi again, I was watching this series while building and I happened across something I wanted to ask about. I’m working on a habit for koalas that has an indoor & outdoor area. There’s a small tunnel above that connects them and a backstage hallway for the keepers. The problem is that I want the staff to use the hallway but not the koalas. Do you have any tips for how to make areas staff traversable but not traversable for animals?

[@ZSHplays]

As far as I'm aware this cannot be done for animals smaller than a human. You can use the animal hitboxes to achieve this if they are bigger but it won't work for little Koalas.

[@skibbitypapp]

@@ZSHplays Darn, I was hoping there was a trick that I was missing. But that’s good to know for creating backstage areas for other larger animals!

[@GULFISCOOL]

How do you get the inspiration for your zoo entrance I've made one like 10times and I can't get something I like any tips?

[@ZSHplays]

Check out Mandai Wildlife Park

[@cheese-x3m]

Why did you choose the platypus house in the Australian house to be outside?

[@cheese-x3m]

The only outside platypus habitat that I know of is at the toronga zoo

[@ZSHplays]

It was designed in the 1930s so I figured what the hell

[@cheese-x3m]

@@ZSHplays they actually are sometimes active during the day, and The Taronga zoo in Sydney has an outdoor platypus habitat.
