San Bernardino Zoo is set in Southern California and is inspired by some of the finest zoos & architects around the world from Singapore to San Diego. It is the sequel to Tekton Zoo and will be my main zoo for the next year or two.
A collection of most of the habitats & any workshop items is on the Steam Workshop here: steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...

I believe it’s crucial to acknowledge not only your exceptional park builds but also the meticulous video editing you incorporate into this series. This video serves as a superb encapsulation of your talent; every small detail contributes significantly. For instance, the subtle addition of the small text and lines beneath Palm Cafe enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of the presentation remarkably. Keep up the excellent work!

[@ZSHplays]

Thank you!

This is probably the single most useful Planet Zoo video I've ever seen. You cover so many aspects of designing and running the zoo in an easy to understand, well put together, and beautifully filmed and edited video-all in 15 minutes! The zoo looks fantastic and I'm SO excited for the start of the Frozen North section.

[@ZSHplays]

Aw thanks Sparrow! I actually decided to bin this episode on Tuesday and just miss a week as I thought it was pointless but I woke up with a new resolve and improved it so glad you enjoyed it!

[@JacksonJacobs-if9vp]

Literally shed a tear when I saw the entire zoo. Absolutely amazing!

[@ZSHplays]

Hah that is the exact effect I intended 😉

[@callumhunt2624]

Man I always wish this zoo would exist in real life so I could visit it

[@beardiesandbros]

Me too it's absolutely beatifull

[@epikgamercotw]

The backstage areas and the small details like the billboards just make the zoo feel so much more alive! Love what you're doing man keep it up!

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks!

[@MrOtter1234]

one of the best zoo's i ever saw in planet zoo, i didn't realise Australia was so small

This is simply unreal. Extraordinary. Wow!

[@HarrisonAndWest]

Once you finish the Zoo, you should defiitely send it to DeLadysigner for her to tour, that'd be amazing!

[@ZSHplays]

Hah I’ve not sent a zoo to DeLady for a while, maybe I will when I’ve done the final tour myself

[@HarrisonAndWest]

@@ZSHplays It's always a pleasure to watch you create these fantastic and beautiful builds, San Bernadino Zoo deserves to have the views and to be spread far across the Planet Zoo community for the recognition it deserves!

[@ZSHplays]

I held off on doing an episode like this until there was a lot to see and I’m very happy with how it’s looking!

[@protyushchoudhury1]

Love the series so far! I'm really excited for your implementation a gondola system to move guests around from one section to the next. Hoping we get to see that soon!

[@ZSHplays]

Yeh I’ve been waiting for their to be enough zoo for it to be worth it so will be implementing it pretty soon now

[@Luckoftheirish-ot2he]

This zoo is amazing I have been watching this series since the beginning and I have been on the edge of my seat to see the finish product. Your work inspires me to make better enclosures. Great job!

[@ZSHplays]

That's awesome! Thanks!

[@JenniferSalming]

This is lovely! Love to watch and learn new stuff every time! A question, the monorail? Are there going to be more stations? How will they fit? So curious! Haha

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks! Yes, there will be stations at the entrance, Frozen North and possibly elsewhere. As soon as I have an unbroken strip of zoo for it to run through we will be building the next station and the track.

[@JenniferSalming]

@@ZSHplays So cool! Thank you, looking forward to it. Frozen North is going to be exciting

[@worldzerogaming3082]

I would love to see a video like this focussed around how you determine what exhibits, habitats, species and so on go where, and how you hash out spaces for the habitats!

[@ZSHplays]

Sadly the viewing figures on this episode would suggest you are in a minority there 😆

[@worldzerogaming3082]

@@ZSHplays Fair enough 😅which is a shame as it would be very useful to me. Unrelated... any word on the possible tour videos from your European zoo excursions?

[@ZSHplays]

@@worldzerogaming3082 SBZ takes up 99% of my time so zoo tours take a while to get together. I will definitely be doing them though, hopefully the first will be out this month.

So cool! Have you ever visited the Bristol Zoo Project? It. Is amazing and so underrated. If you haven’t been there then I couldn’t recommend enough that you go! The bear enclosure is probably the best i have ever seen.

[@ZSHplays]

Sadly I never saw Bristol Zoo, I will get to the project at some point though

[@rad_my_g]

I’m currently working on a zoo named “Sath Haven Zoo” and I’ve been using ur building kits to make the park look realistic. Trust me, it’s not as chill as I thought it would be😅

[@user-wk8yi9zb1m]

Hey ZSHplays, are you planning on making a panda habitat in the San Bernardino Zoo? I think it would be nice to make a few Chinese style habitats (like giant pandas, red pandas) between the Indian forest and Africa. I really like the style of this zoo!

[@ZSHplays]

Maybe…

[@BaconBit_Builder]

It’s amazing how far this zoo has come! Also, with the Asian area you mentioned, could it be an East Asian area, perhaps? Or an Asian Highlands-type thing? 🤔

[@ZSHplays]

I am making no further comment at this time 😆

[@frufru4860]

I'd love to see a more detailed video on habitat design and research for making the zoos, maybe a longer episode of SBZ where you show the research and you building the enclosure?

[@ZSHplays]

I’ll consider it but I’m not sure the world needs to see any more of my drawing ‘skills’ 🧐

[@frufru4860]

@@ZSHplays 😂😂, i must say i disagree with you there, you could even argue we need more

Great Video: HERE ARE MY COMMENTS! 8:40 we will be soon? meaning new indian forest animal? 14:55 reserved for the next dlc meaning he knows what it is When are polar bears coming to the frozen north? What animal next week?

[@ZSHplays]

I can assure you I have no idea what the next DLC is. The exact animal line up in the frozen north is a secret haha but there will be Polar Bear there!

[@number1world]

@@ZSHplays do you think frontier will add cetaceans such as dolphins, orcas, belugas or maybe other sea animals such as manatees and walrus?

[@ZSHplays]

@@number1world cetaceans definitely not, manatee etc is a very slim possibility imo

[@Keenakeen]

For 8:40 I was hoping we could add one more large Indian animal, preferably the Indian Rhinoceros.

[@AlejandraJimenaDelosReyes]

you are truly Alexander the Great of Zoo Building and Video Editing btw is the new area gonna have animals like Snow Leopard, Siberian Tiger and Amur Leopard?

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks! The new area animals will be revealed next week!

@@ZSHplays I'm still delusional for some sneaky bonobos

[@eleanorlaird6029]

And now I’ve caught up with the san bernardino zoo build I don’t know what to do next

[@ZSHplays]

Less than 24 hours til the next one 😁

[@Jurrasic215]

Once you finish the zoo can you do a full tour of the whole zoo?

[@ZSHplays]

Absolutely!

[@SuperBrand1234]

Keep growing your zoo in case the next DLC Pack comes, but we never know what kind of animal will get next?

[@number1world]

Are african penguins coming? i would love to see the initial idea before penguin cove for that african coastal exhibit

[@ZSHplays]

There’s a slim possibility, you’ve already seen their habitat, I used the design for the little penguins 😆

[@rowanbromley645]

Is there a steam link to download the full Zoo as it is ?

[@ZSHplays]

Not yet but you can download most of the habitats, just search ZSHplays

[@megakoopa-pokemonandmore6152]

Two questions: 1. Do you plan and draw out where everything’s going to go or do you just kind of wing it? 2. When you say you’re saving a spot for the next DLC, does that mean you know what to expect?

[@ZSHplays]

I planned it vaguely, you can see it in ep 3 I think. I have no idea what’s in the next dlc

[@megakoopa-pokemonandmore6152]

@@ZSHplays would that include the exhibit designs and the animals in each area or do you just wing it?

[@ZSHplays]

Area first, habitat designs later

[@beardiesandbros]

How do you keep going in a zoo without going back and thinking about everything that could be better because that's what I get stuck doing would love advice if you have time thanks

[@ZSHplays]

I build everything perfectly in the first place. Hah, no, this is my fifth zoo I think so I already knew what I was doing in the first place. I did delete my London zoo build when I was half way through and start again. I guess I jut try and get everything as good as possible before I move on to the next build so I don’t feel the need to go back to them

[@beardiesandbros]

THANK you this made my day

[@user-tz9xz1fe3g]

When are you going to start season 3?

[@ZSHplays]

Er… we’re like 3 months into it? 😆

[@beardiesandbros]

Lol you can sometimes miss the sentence if you use KZbin as background noise so missing it being season 3 is understandable

[@FoxaNature]

I really wonder how you can manage such a big zoo without too many fps drops, I can't even do half of the map without lagging once I have 3000 visitors, and I have a good PC that can easily handle this game 😭

[@ZSHplays]

When I shoot the cinematics I cap the guests to 500 and remove all the animals except the ones I’m filming. The things I do for you… 😆

[@FoxaNature]

@@ZSHplays Oh wow xD I never thought of that. In franchise that must be very hard
