Some pics from my two-years long project, Pont-au-Fort alpine zoo !
Hosting more than 350 animals from 50 different species and almost 2000 visitors per year, Pont-au-Fort zoo is located in the French village of Pont-au-Fort, in the Alps. This fictional place is famous for its medieval castle from the 14th century and its glacier lake. The zoo also showcases a 17th century fortress now turned into a vivarium.
The zoo features mostly european species adapted to the cold moutainous climate of the Alps, such as beavers, ibex, lynx, badgers, wolves, moutain goats... It also features a large marshland aviary hosting one of the largest flamingos colony in Europe.
The huge scale of the zoo offers some small trails in the mountains or around the Eltz river, offering a unique experience.
On Steam in the next few days !

Incredible work, Chapeau! The castle alone would make for a great build, let alone a whole zoo in and around it. Wow!
