A vast, serene duck pond featuring a variety of waterfowl species, both modern and ancient. From the elegant Trumpeter Swans to the larger-than-life Garganornis ballmanni, this pond is an avian Eden equipped with auto-feeders and a luxurious island centerpiece.
#### The Friendly Cleaner
A lab-created, dog-sized rodent roams your home, gobbling up trash and fallen food while efficiently avoiding any bodily waste. This friendly creature keeps your home spotless, a charming alternative to the conventional vacuum cleaner.
#### Modern Conveniences
The mansion includes high-quality air conditioning and indoor heaters, ensuring comfort regardless of the outdoor climate. Infinite high-speed WiFi spanning from 1996 to the present allows you to access and download any content you desire, bridging the gap between time periods.
#### The Miniature Zoo
Within your home lies a mini-zoo containing walkthrough exhibits with diverse species from different periods and regions:
- **Exotic Mammals:** Brazilian tapirs, llamas, Anatolian shepherd dogs, gray foxes, fennec foxes, wallabies, meerkats, and lemurs.
- **Marine Life:** A large tank for harbor porpoises, thoughtfully enriched and well-maintained.
- **Birds:** Various macaws, whistling ducks, and iconic species like shoebills and flamingos.
- **Ancient Beasts:** Dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures, including Palaeoloxodon falconeri, Thrinaxodon, Microraptor species, Simosuchus, and a giant Arthropleura armata millipede, genetically modified to thrive in lower oxygen levels.
Each exhibit is meticulously designed with auto-feeders, auto-cleaners, and auto-vets, ensuring the continual welfare and health of every animal. An ingenious animal-creating machine replenishes each species automatically, providing a self-sustaining ecosystem within your dream home.

Prompt: Write a concept for my dream house located in Hațeg Island (a subtropical offshore island in the Tethys Sea, which is what is now Transylvania, Romania) during the late Cretaceous (in the Maastrichtian stage sometime around 66 million years ago, just thousands of years (maybe 1,000 or 2,000 years before the KPG extinction event occurred, which occurred 66.04 million years ago, so my dream home would exist around 66.06 or 66.05 million years ago instead of during or just before the extinction event, so I don't have to worry about that extinction event occurring in my lifetime), if time travel was real and with no such thing as time paradoxes (so no end of the world scenarios, thankfully). This dream house should be a huge cabin-like house with a nearby gazebo, and be located on the island's shoreline, being made of storm-proof and bullet-proof materials and having strong walls, windows, doors, etc to keep the house protected against any natural disasters and intruders (both native predators like Hatzegopteryx and nonnative intruders like bad/criminal human time travelers), and has self-cleaning solar panels connected to the highly-efficient energy storage to keep the house powered even for many months without sunlight, so it will continue to run even in prolonged periods of storms. For further security (just in case any bad people were going to break into my Hațeg Island dream house), the door should only be opened by the fingerprints recognition tech, only opening when it recognizes my fingerprints as well as any of my family member's fingerprints (so that only me or my family members may enter, unless I invite my friends over). Due to its gigantic size, the house should not only have the main bedrooms, living rooms, bathrooms, kitchen, or a front room, but also have a massive underground room underneath the house (that underground room being about the size of the entire New York City or slightly larger) that contains an indoor playground, indoor pool (complete with a rock water slide and water heaters to keep the pool cool or cool-warm rather than cold or hot), indoor hot tub, indoor koi pond (complete with an indoor waterfall and an auto-feeder), indoor carousel, indoor ferris wheel, indoor go-karts, indoor bumper cars, indoor miniature roller coaster, some defunct attractions from modern theme parks (including but not limited to Snow White & Her Adventures (1555-1980 Disneyland ride), etc), indoor log boat ride, indoor water park, Chuck E Cheese and ShowBiz Pizza Place animatronic shows, large freshwater fish tank (complete with an auto-feeder and filter), large saltwater fish tank (complete with an auto-feeder and filter), butterfly house (complete with automatic caterpillar and butterfly feeders), game room (complete with a PS1, a PS2, a PS3, a PS4, a PS5, a Nintendo 64, a Nintendo Gamecube, a Wii, a DS, a 3DS, a Nintendo Switch, various of free-to-play arcade games that do not require money to play, and two PC laptops with disk drive, and for all the new consoles, they should be able to buy otherwise-payment-required DLCs for free without payment unlike the consoles in modern times), a bounce house, a workout station, and a weather room (which simulates every weather while also being completely safe), all of these I've mentioned and included should be waterproof, fireproof, wear-proof, rust-proof, mildew-proof, and storm-proof for safety and comfort. There should also be a massive duck pond with a large island and containing various waterfowl species (including mallards, greater scaups, northern pintails, ruddy ducks, muscovy ducks, wood ducks, mandarin ducks, turtle-jawed moa-nalos (large ducks originating from the early Holocene of Kauai, Hawaii), Maui Nui large-billed moa-nalos (large ducks originating from the early Holocene of Maui Nui, Hawaii), Oʻahu moa-nalos (large ducks originating from the early Holocene of Oʻahu Nui, Hawaii), small-billed moa-nalos (large ducks originating from the early Holocene of Maui Nui, Hawaii), white-faced whistling ducks, African pygmy geese, musk ducks, Egyptian geese, Andean geese, Orinoco geese, spur-winged geese, common shelducks, ruddy shelducks, torrent ducks, whio/blue ducks, comb ducks, Falkland steamer ducks, smews, greylag geese, wild swan geese, emperor geese, bar-headed geese, Canada geese, barnacle geese, Cape Barren geese, trumpeter swans, black swans, black-necked swans, mute swans, Cygnus falconeri (giant swans originating from the middle Pleistocene of Malta and Sicily), Garganornis ballmanni (very large anatids/waterfowls originating from the late Miocene of Gargano, Italy), magpie geese, southern screamers, Presbyornis pervetus (tall flamingo-like waterfowls originating from the early Eocene of the Green River Formation located in Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah of the United States), Gastornis parisiensis and Gastornis gigantea (both species of very large flightless herbivorous birds originating from the early Eocene of Europe and North America respectively), shoebills, American flamingos, and greater flamingos), so my duck pond has a wide variety of birds, while also having fish and shrimp auto-feeders for the piscivorous waterfowls, shoebills, and flamingos. There should be a friendly/tame lab-created dog-sized rodent-like mammal that only feeds on trash, fallen food, hair on floor, and other unwanted debris, therefore cleaning up trash (but not eating food that didn't fall on the floor) whilst also comfortably (without harming the animal) unable to defecate or urinate, being a simple and carefree alternative to a vacuum cleaner. As with other good houses, it should also have proper air conditioning, indoor heaters, several bedrooms, two mildew-proof bathrooms, an attic, a garage, a living room, a front room, and a kitchen with any food and drinks that are cloned and brought from modern times for free (no payment required) with no issues (even any kind of modern restaurant/fast food/mall/zoo/theme park foods and drinks instantly bought to my dream house for free and no money or credit card required due to me being in Hațeg Island during the late Cretaceous), so there's no chance of there to be a food or drinks shortage. Plus, I'd like everything I have in my modern home duplicated in this house located on Hațeg Island during the late Cretaceous. There should also be infinite and free excellent WiFi so I could access the internet between the year 1996 to modern times (while also being in the late Cretaceous Hațeg Island) so I'd be able to view and download stuff that would be otherwise lost to time. There should also be an indoor miniature zoo with several walkthrough exhibits containing my pets for this mini-zoo, including Brazilian tapirs from modern South America, domestic llamas from modern South America, domestic sheep from modern Europe/North America (as well as Anatolian shepherd dogs to keep the sheep safe), gray foxes from modern North America, fennec foxes from modern northern Africa, Bennett's wallabies and yellow-footed rock wallabies from modern Australia, meerkats from modern South Africa, several lemur species (including ring-tailed lemurs, crowned lemurs, mongoose lemurs, common brown lemurs, blue-eyed black lemurs, crowned lemurs, red ruffed lemurs, black-and-white ruffed lemurs, Coquerel's sifakas, and diademed sifakas) from modern Madagascar, harbour porpoises from modern oceans (although my pet harbour porpoises must be in a big enough aquarium/marine mammal tank with a bunch of enrichments and filtration systems to keep them happy and healthy), few macaw species (Spix's macaws, blue-and-yellow macaws, great green macaws, and scarlet macaws) from modern South America, white-faced whistling ducks from modern South America and Africa, Palaeoloxodon falconeri from middle Pleistocene Sicily and Malta, Thrinaxodon from early Triassic South Africa, Arthropleura armata (a giant millipede, but genetically modified to tolerate lower oxygen levels) from late Carboniferous North America and Europe, a Microraptor zhaoianus and Microraptor gui from early Cretaceous China, and Simosuchus from late Cretaceous Madagascar, all of which should have adequate space, food, water, biomes, enrichments, and vet care, thanks to auto-feeders, auto-cleaners, auto-immunizers, and auto-vets (which appear from nowhere so there's no shortage and the animal's exhibits are clean) keeping them happy and healthy without me having to care for them. The exhibit's animals should appear (thanks to an animal-creating machine) within each of the appropriate enclosures every time an animal of a respective species in an exhibit dies from old age, illness, etc, so I don't have to worry about having to buy new animals. With all these (please include all these details), my house would basically and truly be a dream come true. Plus I get to see native dinosaurs that are alive at the time in Hațeg Island, including but not limited to Balaur bondoc, Bradycneme draculae, Elopteryx nopcsai, Gargantuavis philoinos, Magyarosaurus dacus, an indeterminate small theropod (possibly a dwarf genus of abelisaurid), Paludititan nalatzensis, Rhabdodon priscus, Struthiosaurus transylvanicus, Telmatosaurus transylvanicus, Transylvanosaurus platycephalus, and Zalmoxes robustus. I would also see other native Hațeg Island animals as well, such as azhdarchid pterosaurs (Albadraco tharmisensis, Eurazhdarcho langendorfensis, and Hatzegopteryx thambema), crocodyliforms (Allodaposuchus precedens, Aprosuchus ghirai, and Sabresuchus sympiestodon), stem-turtles (Kallokibotion bajazidi), squamates (Barbatteius vremiri, Oardasaurus glyphis, Becklesius nopcsai, Bicuspidon hatzegiensis, and Nidophis insularis), anurans (Hatzegobatrachus grigorescui and Paralatonia transylvanica), the Multituberculata order of small mammals (Barbatodon transylvanicum, Barbatodon oardaensis, Barbatodon ungureanui, Kogaionon ungureanui, and Litovoi tholocephalos), and others found on the island; however, I would have to be cautious around Hatzegopteryx.
