Touring the Gorgeous ZOO SICILY by Rudi Rennkamel | Planet Zoo Best Zoo Tours
hey I'm ZSHplays and today we are looking at somebody else's zoo for once, it's Zoo Sicily by Rudi Rennkamel! This zoo is full of absolutely amazing scenery some of the best Landscaping I've seen in a long time and of course lots and lots of animals let's check it out here we are in zoo Sicily I like it already got some nice Mediterranean architecture in the background Olive Tree some free roaming peal and it's looking good let's get inside and take a look I have not seen a lot of this Sue I remember when Rudy it I think it was around the Twilight pack did something very clever with adding bats into the car park so they were just flying around the uh lamps in there which is cool but I am looking forward to exploring it properly so I've discovered the way in and that's pretty much all I've done so we're going to go and explore it together see what we can find look like we've got a little gift chop over there the frame rate is really good as well there's over 500 animals in this Sue so I'm surprised the frame rate is holding up as well as this we got some wombats down here some like ruins in the habitat there's a lot of these sort of bleached white rocks everywhere as well get that kind of Sicilian feel going on I've been to Sicily it is really dry there dry and hot those are the first things you notice so you get a lot of sort of sun bleach rocks like this see they've got a little burrow to hide in over there as well I like that Cliff up there let's carry on see what we can find got is this another habitat over here or is this more of the wombat's habitat they've got a little indoor area over there what have we got down here H oh yeah I think this is an extension of the womber habitat and we've got a nice what looks like a bridge over here [Music] our koala habitat with the koalas walking around on the floor as is traditional in Planet Z that's a really nice view though these sort of Mediterranean style Villas are really nice there's one see what else we've got let's go down here a lot of height variation in this zoit which is always fun other than trying to build it of course like that so we got another view into the koalas here got a little pool as well kilas do enjoy a swim well they can swim I don't know how much they enjoy it but let see what we've got over here some nice rock work oh we've got this is a whole little Australian area we got wallabies and emus in here tree is really nice I think that's a custom tree got lots of shade as well which you really really want when you're in Sicily like these glass viewing windows if you're not familiar with Rudy's uh builds or his channel he is one of the uh original Planet zoo creators he's been making videos since the Atlantic coaster days I'm sure you've seen his videos whether it's his series or his tutorials but uh just in case you haven't that is who he is he was kind enough to send this to me this is on the workshop but there's uh he's had real trouble getting the file to work quite a lot of mods used in making this Zoo um and he tried to get rid of them all to send them across to me and um Caesar creates maybe some other um YouTubers as well I'm not sure um and it's been a real struggle to get it working and eventually I think he found one mod that he just couldn't get rid of so he sent me that mod so I've installed that so that we can see the zoo the cute little Mir cats here but uh if it's on the workshop and you download it I'm not sure you're going to be able to get it to work unless you have the correct mod but I'll put that I forget what it's called um I don't normally use mods myself so um I'll put that in the description to the video so if you do want to explore this Su you can grab that mod and come in and check it out some really nice views along here loads of layers to the view which I really like it's one of the best things about putting height variations into your zoo and why it's worth it despite being um so difficult to do because you get stuff like this where you can look over here we can see some cliffs in the background we got the steps going up there we got the mircat habitat in the foreground around can see something way off over there in the distance not sure what that is and yeah just really brings the zoo to life when you do that uh we've got another area going down there as well but let's carry on on this path see what we've got here looks like there's a viewing here so that we can see down into that area so let's check that out we got some porcupines down here that's a really nice little porcupine habitat just some mud walls big old log for them to get some shade under I like that these catti are really cool as well sure I've ever used those didn't realize they had the the fruit on them some ruins there as well see what we got around here o nice that is a really cool River and Waterfall oh he's hidden the waterfall pieces in there that's clever I can see something bouncing around in the background there not sure what it is all it's otter got Asian small claw otter in here very cute super otter this goes all the way down here while this is a habitat there's even one swimming down there loads of them very cool let's get back around here and looks like we can go right over the porcupine habitat [Music] here yeah likely amount of shade in this Su like I said it be really important in Sicily so it's cool that that has been uh considered I like this bridge as [Music] well some little custom drystone walls there and then we've got another path [Music] here really nice foliage work as well look at [Music] that the gardens really nice actually captured feel of a sicilian Garden really nicely here like I say I'm lucky enough to have been to Sicily it's a beautiful place I'd highly recommend it uh unless you don't like it hot in which case I would not recommend it got some Red River Hog down there and then what do we have in here [Music] see I'm presuming this is just a bit of a habitat seems a bit small for rapes yeah we can go all the way down there these definitely needs a break from the Heat this pathing is pretty crazy so we can see right down into the Red River Hog habitat oh we got some Red Crown crane over there as well [Music] like habitats like this where you're not entirely sure what you're looking at or where you are it's much more immersive than just having a path with a big Square exhibit in front of it we got another waterfall [Music] there and then we got a bridge here to go under uh looks like another Garden coming up here not sure these Billboards are blank I'm not sure if there should be custom signage o Panda not sure if they should be custom signage in there or not that's a really nice view very nice ah so the panders can actually go over the bridge that's cool see if we can uh get that before he's gone over it yes we can oh that would be a really cool experience in the zoo got a little custom kind of climbing swing for them here as [Music] well see where we're going [Music] here I like these little signs yeah I'm pretty sure there should be some custom signage in there but um Rudy didn't send me any so they'll just be blank for the purposes of this tour this is really cool habitat don't know if it's for like Gibbons or lemur or something of the island there let's go up here and see if we can see oh wow Jaguar I was not expecting that wonder if we can see it oh yeah having a little [Applause] swim another nice view here that scratching post is enormous feel like we could potentially do with some oh wow like potentially we could do with some more uh incentive for the guests not to climb into this habitat uh if a jaguar or two Jaguars isn't enough for that tend to see more kind of um barriers than that in a big cat up attack but it's very pretty let's go around here see what we've got here a lot of different r through this zoo I don't know where to go I'm going to go over this way can see some roofs over here so presumably there's something up this way see the guest way up over there as [Music] well oh this is very cute little habitat wonder what's in here oh ah fic Fox cute let's go up to we got some more viewing up here yes we do what's gone look at all that wall the way it's all um degraded that's really cool it's done a great job with the pathing here I'm presuming yeah I don't think these are 4 M wide I think he's used a little thinner path trick that looks really cool [Music] looks like we got a restaurant over there yeah this is cool the bark pieces I think it's a little peek into the habitat yes it is oh nice that's very cool and then we got a bigger habitat here maybe for some a sand cats nice climbing he's integrated the Burrows really nicely into all these habitats as well so that they're um part of the scenery rather than just a enrichment item that's been stuck down there there's a little sand [Music] cat and then over here I think is the restaurant that we just saw let's check that out at there's tablecloths that's really clever oh that one's even better that looks so good little al fresco dining experience all right let's head up this way cuz I can see some paths up there so let's see what's at the top of the zoo this path is really good [Music] all the foliage surrounding you this little fence here really do feel like you're in a Mediterranean Forest here that's awesome so hard to make good paths in Planet zoo it's just hard to get inspired by making something as boring as a path but when you get it right it is absolutely 100% worth it just check that view out of these custom lamp shades as well wow there is some gorgeous stuff in this sua now we're going to get a view down over the majority of it by the looks of it [Music] whoa see down into the jaguar habitat there in fact you can see him just down there let's see what we've got up here oh wow something big at the top of the zoo got a little habitat in here ah underwater viewing oh it's a penguin habitat nice King Penguins that's a really cool view there's even a little viewing dome in there as well nice let's go up to the top love a habitat with multiple views so let's take a top view of the Penguins see what we can see again lots and lots of shade I can hear sounds like a lion somewhere nice not sure how happy King Penguins would be outside in Sicily but I'm not a penguin expert so maybe there R's doing that is really cool though let's go up to this huge building here that looks really cool this is really fun to see I think Rudy's a very different Builder to me I think he pays less attention to the realism of the builds in terms of um how the animals are kept he's more of an imagination guy and he makes some really really cool stuff sometimes it can be really frustrating to trying up with habitat designs and then you're researching the animals and reading the Animal Care manuals and it's like no you can't have them do this you can't have them do that they don't accept this temperature you can't keep this many of them together it can be really difficult to um follow through a cool idea if you pay that much attention to that kind of realism and I'm put words in his mouth here I could be completely wrong but I think he thinks that the making stuff look awesome is uh is more important than making it look exactly like what you'd see in real zo which is completely valid and it enables you to make amazing stuff like this like these big barrels he's put everywhere ah we've got a little farmyard section presumably this is the newest part of the zoo that's really cute wa those chickens are loud I love this building I'm guessing this is a reptile house but we shall see could be an amphibian house maybe oh we got the donkeys I have never seen the donkeys in Planet Z let's check those out there a pie Bal one as well that's very cute and it's a walk through this is awesome I love the bar animal pack I was so unimpressed when they announced it and then now I absolutely love it just such a different vibe to the rest of the game it's really cool all right yes we've got a reptile house what is that it's a boa constrictor presumably a albino so this must be a very rare morph that you can get let's explore the rest of the building there's so much light in here this is great we have here so we got some more exhibits down this wall maybe the Terra pins from the look of it then we got some more down here oh yeah here we go wow is this a sloth or an implied sloth habitat that's very clever means a load of tropical houses where you just have um a branch or a log over the path and then there's just like a a sloth or sometimes a uh tree porcupine just chilling out on it it's so cool to be that close to them let's go up these stairs and have a look these thin paths are really cool although unfortunately explore cam doesn't seem to want to go down them a there we go I want to see what this is all about up here maybe it's just implied yeah I don't see the actual sloth exhibit up here presumably couldn't squeeze it into this space it is pretty huge yeah that is a gorgeous little reptile and amphibian house that is one of my favorite things I've seen in this Zoo so far and we are at the top of the zoo so we need to go down and find our next route through the zoo before we move on can we just talk about this view wow it's really making me want to build an entire zoo on a hill that's just awesome all right so across from the Penguins we've got another building up here a very interesting facade on it oh and a really cool looking habitat down here like the word reminds me of my one habitat a little bit in San Bernardino Zoo see what we've got in here look at the Landscaping in here that is Lush presumably some sort of semi- aquatic animal in here all right I've just checked I think this habitat is for a modded animal which is why we can't see it but let's go into this crazy build it's a Lem habitat that's very cute I love that basket for them up there I cannot get over the frame rate in the Su I don't know how it runs so fast with this many animals it's not like the builds aren't detailed or anything so not sure why this is running so much better than uh San berino Z that's really nice more Cliffs up there and we've got a little like a little Sicilian Street up here got a fountain and another exhibit over here I see now so we've got iguanas over here and this is an implied habitat for them that's a great idea shame they won't be leaving their little house but that's very [Music] clever love that see what we've got up here really like the street oh we've got disabled access as well nice these houses and streets Etc and the Sunshine is actually making me want to uh just sit down and grab a beer I think sadly no way to do that in Planet [Music] zoo wonder if these are just facades or if these would be shops IRL oh yeah we got one here little counter [Music] and we've got what looks like a viewing platform up here okay we got seals up [Music] here what a great view so maybe this is for sea lions or African penguins or something oh it's the same habitat one really big habitat with a path going over the top of it cool so I'm assuming this is going to take us down to some underwater viewing I think this might be the windiest Zoo I've ever been in I love it so hard to build stuff like this this is what real zoos feel like you're always going around corners not sure whether to go left or right habitats on either side this is really good oh no we got Sealands in here and then seals over here cool I think this is the end of the zoo in this direction we will make sure more nice decal work there little water stand definitely need that here and a little viewing Point as well at the end of the video I'll show you the whole zoo from the air it is quite a sight halfway down the hill we find ourselves at this cute African penguin habitat look at this little guy waddling along he was in a hurry and this is a whole little African area here we go across to here we're going to see some much larger African animals there we go black rhinoceros and a little sort of water feature there that's really cool a little watering hole for them love [Music] that very nice if we go down here we got another habitat on this [Music] side not sure what's in here some nice ruins well I'm going to call that a no-show never go through a trip to the zoo without at least one noo need to keep it realistic oh we got some butterflies around here another gorgeous view little tour point oh they look so nice out here and we've got a bridge see where this this is going to take us it's going to take us into another gorgeous garden and this is taking us back to the entrance so let's head down the other side of the hill all right so we've come down from that big hill we were just on and now we're going to explore in the other direction and go up around here see what we can find up here so we got the Jaguar away on our left got a little counter there and I can see a building here we're going to go and check this one out more amazing planting he's just captured the vibe of Sicily so nicely here uh I think this is the entrance so let's go in aha okay I think I know what we're going to find in here which way should we go we'll go in this way sloths and lens I have not seen that before this would be very cool to visit sloth up [Music] there multiple sloth exhibits possibly by the looks of it and then loads of extra parts to tie it all together so the Gibbons can move around it as well this is really cool [Music] that's a nice little touch that actually there's even decal so the water extends across the floor that's brilliant love this circular window just giving you a little Glimpse out there some more amazing planting we got another sloths up here this one's even moving [Music] what a gorgeous little house think that's everything in here yeah go out the exit here and then find out where we can go next well this is cute we've got a Vineyard for prairie [Music] dogs nice to see the grape vine being used as an grap Vine for once un like how I always use it oh there's one got a huge habitar this is just past the uh the pandas getting back towards the entrance here almost like a plaza here quite an open space that's the panda habitat back there we got the Jaguar over there and this presumably is the end of the prairie dog habitat this might be some indoor viewing or something got these giant wine barrels here have been turned into is that flower pots these like little terrariums that's a cute little idea we got a load of Staff buildings [Music] here oh and then arars with Mir cats that's a cute combo this is one of the cool things about building a sandboxy I want it to have arar and Mir cats together in San Bernardino Zoo but because it's in franchise mode the space requirements for the arvar were just so huge it would have um destroyed my build so I wasn't able to do it but in sandbox mode you can do whatever you want over here we got the other side of the mirat habitat you can see the Emu away in the distance there now behind the sloth house is something really cool the aboreal garden you can see what is in here on these giant climbing platforms I love this this is a really cool orang habitat reminds me of tear Garden shern Brun and a few other orang habitats that I've seen that's very cool loads going on in this habitat loads of different areas all interconnected by these huge climbing frames you can get right underneath them and we got some sang over here it is very noisy in [Music] here that's very [Music] cool and that's pretty much everything in Zeus Sicily except for one really cool thing which I'm going to show you at nighttime after dark we can head down into the car park and see something really cool so it's just over here you can see some lights we got the coach behind us some more nice rock work here and then over here and you can already see them we've got the car park with the bats in it obviously these bats are here all the time there's no uh nocturnal behavior in Planet zoo but when you switch it to night if we come in here it's such a great idea they're just flying all the way around the car park more of them down here actually is this a car park maybe it's a a bike park or something I'm not sure how you'd get a car in here maybe it's for the staff but yeah just look at that got some uh custom Roost for them as well and yeah there's a very cool end to this here as promised is the entire Zoo from the air it really does look amazing thank you so much to Rudy rankel for sending this to me check out his channel if you want to see more of his work and I'll see you again on Saturday for some more San Bernardino Zoo thanks for watching bye
