Neighbors!

Update: it wasn't nothing.

"Hi! :D"

Neighbors?

(Previously at this particular park: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

The Velociraptors get more space finally, with renovations having concluded in the part of their paddock that has been closed with a gate so far. What kind of renovations? Oh, just power going out in parts of the electrified fences, nothing major - and it's fixed! So all is well. :)

Well akshually JWE already has feathered dinosaurs

Some pretty screenshots of the parrots that take flight when you delete forest in Jurassic World Evolution.

Which is a neat detail... but also really sad. Did I just destroy habitat of dinosaur species, potentially including endangered ones, native to their present-day ecosystem, to make room for my theme park of dazzling rich tourists with cloned dinosaurs that became extinct so long ago that their niches in nature have long since been filled, making them non-native everywhere on present-day Earth? Probably did, yeah. It's not like Islas Nublar and Sorna were blank slates devoid of wildlife before the clone dinos got released there.

Just cute seaglets

Screenshots (cw: includes prey in view) from the past week at Sydney White-bellied Sea Eagle nest. The chicks have gone from these scruffy, little fluffballs:

(Older chick SE29 left, younger chick SE30 right in both pictures)

...to these bigger and ganglier fluffballs, with both having pennaceous feather growth clearly visible.

Infestation

Things that go chirp in the night

Charlie, and Delta, have a little more dignified visit to the grooming station cage. How they got in there is a mystery that park security is still trying to solve.

POV: you are a goat or perhaps a lawyer

A small new world

Some more screenshots from my latest JWE park (previous posts about it are here: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8). This time, a peek in the officially empty paddock near the high-security research facility, featuring its unofficial resident.
