- [0.1] Note
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- As you can see, the TOC is lotsa smaller (the new TOC is 8 KB smaller!).
- That's because I removed the sub-paragraphs. SoepKip told me the TOC was
- way to big (and the size of my guide also), so... 0.3 versions later I
- listen to his advice and removed the sub-paragraphs. And I must agree: it
- it lotsa cleaner this way.
-
- Chapter [15] was a real pain in the ass to create, and it isn't finished
- yet! Chapter [2] is finished though... chapter [16] will be finished next
- version (chapter [15] too!). Even better: I think the next version is the
- final version :D:D:D
-
- Because it's a new year (2002 if you didn't know :p), I'm going to do
- thing better; I'm going to find a girlfriend (again) and I'm going to
- update my guides quicker, better, bigger etc. Well... I'll try >=)
-
- When this guide is finished and it reached version F (Final), I'll move
- some chapters. Chapter [14] should be last (just check it out to see why),
- but I don't know if I'm going to add any chapters, so I can't place it as
- last chapter. In ver. F (which means I won't change anything in this
- guide anymore), I'll move chapter [14] to a better (best) place. Eeeh...
- :S
-
- Please mail me and tell what you think of this guide... do you miss
- something? Did I add way too much? Just tell me! This is my first
- serious guide (one that is bigger than 50 KB :p), but I want your
- opinion about it. As for as this moment you're reading this, people liked
- my guide (or "love it"), but maybe you think something like "Wo! This
- guide is even worse than the back of my ass!"... let me know (Although I
- like it more to read mail from people who like/love my guide)! I love to
- receive mail about my guide and will try to answer it within 2 days
- (which is not always possible, because I don't have cable... well... on
- 31th of January I'll get cable, so stay tuned... I'll answer mail the
- same day :D). What are you waiting for? Mail me! ;)
-
- One last thing: I'm searching someone who can draw some nice ascii-art,
- for other guide I'll write. I'm thinking of writing a guide for
- other games (sssss! it's a secret :p), and ofcourse, I can't place the
- ascii-art found in this guide... animals just aren't the same as ships and
- vampires ;)
-
- BTW: I reached the 300 KB-limit :D Finally! Thanks to this line ;) Well...
- and this line... :) Next version will be around 325KB I think. A fine size
- for a finished version I guess... I'll try to make my next guide a little
- smaller. This is too big :| I'll create in-depth guides with the help of
- this guide.
-
- Anyway, have phun with this new version and stay tuned for the final
- version!

- [1] Introduction & Stuff
- ==========================================================================
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [1.1] Introduction
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- On a beautiful Saturday, I was at a friend of me (Gerder) and he told me
- he played a demo of Zoo Tycoon and that the game rocked! Well... He also
- liked Skateboard Park Tycoon, but I didn't really like it (Rollercoaster
- Tycoon was much more fun). So he asked me if I did want to see the demo.
- "Nah... I don't want to see it" I told him. So he said to me "Well;
- anyway, I'm going to download it with Kaazaa"... "Suit yourself" was my
- reply. So when he finished downloading the game (it took him 30 minutes),
- he told me he did want to check it out. Np! So he began to play and I
- thought "Wow! This game is great... I want to have it and write a guide
- for it" :D
- I searched the Internet (well; I looked on www.neoseeker.com and on
- www.gamefaqs.com), but I didn't find any guide for Zoo Tycoon :D So what
- does that mean for me? That I write one! I mean, I was the first one to
- release a crack for Skateboard Park Tycoon, so why not being the first to
- write a guide for Zoo Tycoon?
- Zoo Tycoon wasn't official released, so I had to download it with Kaazaa.
- I didn't have cable (and I still don't); I have a 128.8 kb-modem ;) The
- download was about 140 MB. I began the download on 14:00 PM, and it was
- finished around 22:30 PM :D So it took me 8,5 hours to download it! Not
- that I didn't like it... I had enough time to do things I normally didn't
- do. I logged in on IRC (the last time was about 3 months ago), I tried
- to pick up a girl from my class ;), I searched some neat shit, I looked
- for a guide for Zoo Tycoon ;) etc.
- So here's my guide for Zoo Tycoon. I hope you like it and otherwise you
- should burn in hell ;)
-
- BTW: I wrote this guide for the BETA-version of Zoo Tycoon, which is
- version 10.07.00.0005.

- [1.2] About Zoo Tycoon
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- You can't tell me you did never hear of a Tycoon-game; Railroad Tycoon,
- Rollercoaster Tycoon, Skateboard Park Tycoon, Air Tycoon... So here's Zoo
- Tycoon. I don't really think I have to explain it; just build a zoo and be
- happy. There's nothing more to say ;)
-

- is download.microsoft.com/download/zootycoon/Trial/1.0/W9X2KMeXP/EN-US/

-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [1.11] How to install Zoo Tycoon
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- To install the game, you should first download it (I used Kaazaa). When
- the download is finished, unpack the game somewhere in a root of a drive
- (i.e. c:). The game will unpack the game in c:\ZooTycoon.
-
- If you don't want to do some illegal downloading, you can also download
- the trial version of the game at http://download.microsoft.com/download/
- zootycoon/Trial/1.0/W9X2KMeXP/EN-US/ZooTycoon.exe. Please note that I
- don't encourage you to download the illegal version of Zoo Tycoon!
-
- Enter the Zoo Tycoon dir and delete every folder you see (ztst, maps
- with all those numbers etc.). You will end up with the files that Zoo
- Tycoon does use... Now just run zoo.exe to play the game!
-
- Note: When you're finished playing Zoo Tycoon, some folders you did just
- delete, will return. Delete them right away, otherwise you'll end up
- with lotsa files you don't want and need. I recommend to delete the files
- in DOS (with the deltree-command), because that way, you won't have to
- empty your recycle bin.
-
- Super-tip: Extract a ZIP/ZTD-file and zip it again (using store). The game
- will load much faster, because it doesn't have to extract every ZIP-file!

- [1.14] Ratings
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- In this section, you'll find ratings of different people, sites and
- magazines;
-
- Power Unlimited (#12, year 9) - If you like games like RCT and if you love
- animals, this game is made for you!
-
- Maverick - It sucks!
-
- Gerder - It rocks!
-
- SoepKip - "This game is made in a masterly way!" He gave it 85% on
- 12/01/01
-
- GrAwL (that's me) - My rating of this game... righty! The game is quite
- fun and I think many people will like it. The graphics are a little
- simple and the sounds isn't very kewl (not bad though). The bugs in the
- game are very nasty sometimes (like the "people can't eat"-bug)... in
- RCT, the scenario's were much kewler than in ZT... With about 11
- scenario's, the game is a little small... This doesn't have to mean the
- game is bad! It's a nice game, it's fun to play etc. I think I'll give
- it a 70%... This rating can change! I played the BETA-version, but I'll
- get the final version/trial version soon to look if the bugs in the
- BETA-version are fixed. If they're changed: a higher rating, if not: the
- same rating...
-
- Compukids (#46, jan/feb 2002) - Zoo Tycoon is for everybody who loves
- animals, but also has some patience; for the animals and for the guests.
-
- DVDZone (#52, jan 2002) - Try, without yawning, to build a zoo where even
- the management of Artis would be proud on. Try to stay awake! With all
- that action...
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [1.15] Things I need for the next version
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- In order to make the next version(s), I'll need the following:
-
- * People who can draw nice ascii-art
- * Information about the missing animals (you can check this information
- by clicking on an animal, select the button with the zookeeper, and than
- select the "I"-button)
- * More information about animals I didn't place in this guide (like their
- habitats, foes and friends etc.)
- * Information about tools, trainers, editors etc. (give links). I will
- create a special chapter on tools, trainers. etc., if I have enough
- links and information (so keep sending)
-
- If you have any of this, please mail me. You'll get full credits!

- [1.16] About me
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Maybe you don't care about me... maybe you do. At least I think it was
- funny to write this paragraph, so people who read this guide will also
- know me a little bit.
-
- So... I'm GrAwL. Ofcourse, that's not my real name. My real name is Arjen
- Voogt. I'm 15 years old and live in the Netherlands. To give an answer to
- the question that's in your head right now: "No! I don't have drugs!" :p
- I know people think that the Netherlands is the land of the drugs, but...
- well... it isn't. It's true you can get drugs real easily. Just go to a
- coffee shop and ask for it. We have lots of those shops. But... I don't
- think you really care, so you? ;)
-
- When I'm writing this guide, I often listen to MP3-files. I like all kinds
- of music (Red Hot Chili Peppers, AlizΘe, Linkin Park, Bomfunk Mc's, Eminem
- etc.), so my collection is about 1 GB :D I'm sure I didn't hear every song
- placed in this collection ^_^
-
- You can become member of the GrAwL-fanclub ;) Just ask nice :p Pictures of
- me can be found on http://wizard.guruchat.net/guruchat.

-
- How: Welcome to Zoo Tycoon! We'll begin playing soon, but first, this
- brief introductory tutorial will teach you some of the important game
- controls of Zoo Tycoon.
-
- When you play this tutorial, you will see reminder text displayed in the
- upper section of the gameplay area. Click this reminder panel to revisit
- the current tutorial's instructions.
-
- Click the OK button to start. [Click OK]
-
- The first thing to learn about is the Game Options tab. This tab allows
- you to perform such functions as changing screen resolution, saving and
- loading games, and exiting to the main menu. You can click this button
- when you want to exit the tutorial.
-
- Click the Game Options tab (blue disk) on the left side of the game
- screen.
-
- Click the OK button to proceed. [Click OK, click the Game Options tab]
-
- Now let's view the Zoo Tycoon game world. First, you can scroll the game
- map by moving the mouse cursor to the edge of the screen. In addition,
- zooming out allows you to see your entire zoo at once. Zooming in gives
- you a close-up view of the zoo. Let's try this.
-
- 1. Move the mouse from one edge of the screen to another to scroll the
- map in different directions.
- 2. Click the Zoom-out button (minus sign), located above the Rotate
- buttons, and then click the Zoom-in button (plus sign).
-
- Click the OK button to proceed. [Click OK, click the Zoom-out button,
- click the Zoom-in button]
-
- Rotating the game world allows you to see animals and buildings that
- might not be visible from the current view.
-
- 1. Click the Rotate Clockwise button (arrow pointing left), located on
- the lower-left side of the game screen.
- 2. Then click the Rotate Counter-clockwise button (arrow pointing right).
-
- Click the OK button to proceed. [Click OK, click the Rotate Clockwise
- button, click the Rotate Counter-clockwise button]
-
- Now let's try pausing and resuming the game. Pausing the game can be
- useful when lots of things happen at once, and you need some breathing
- room to sort things out.
-
- 1. Click the Pause button, located along the bottom of the screen to the
- left of the Current Data bar.
- 2. Click the Pause button a second time to resume the game.
-
- Click the OK button to proceed. [Click OK, click the Pause button two
- times]
-
- Another very useful tool is the Undo Previous Action button, which is
- located along the left side of the screen. Pressing this button allows
- you to undo your last action, as if it had never happened.
-
- 1. When you close this dialog, the snack machine will be attached to the
- cursor. Place the snack machine in an open space.
- 2. Now select the Undo Last Action button (red arrow) to undo the snack
- machine placement.
-
- Click the OK button to proceed. [Click OK, place the snack machine, click
- the Undo Last Action button]
-
- Finally, let's learn how to remove, or clear, objects from the zoo. We're
- going to remove one section of fence from the lion's exhibit. (We know,
- this sounds like it might be a bad idea, but trust us. After all, we're
- the experts).
-
- 1. Click the Clear Objects tab, located on the left side of the game
- screen.
- 2. Place the cursor over the section of fence you want to clear, and then
- click to remove one or more fence sections.
-
- You'll get a cautionary message that advises against doing this, but
- don't worry, we know what we're doing.
-
- Click the OK button to proceed. [Click OK, click the Clear Objects tab,
- remove a section of the exhibit's fence, click YES]
-
- Good grief! You've allowed the lions to run free in the zoo! What were
- you thinking? Well, we hope you learned your lesson: Never trust people
- who write these tutorials, and never clear sections of fence in the
- lion's exhibit! (Unless you like seeing your guests flee in terror)
-
- In this tutorial, you've learned the basics of controlling Zoo Tycoon. We
- recommend you play "Tutorial 2 - Basic Gameplay" to learn the basics of
- creating a zoo. You are free, however, to play any of the games from the
- main menu.
-
- Click the OK button. [Click OK]
-
- - Select YES to play the next tutorial.
-
- - Select NO to return to the main menu.
- The main menu screen will allow you to select new scenario's, play a
- freeform game, or exit Zoo Tycoon.

- [2.3] Tutorial 3 - Making Animals Happy
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- I can't play this one in the Trial-version of the game, so if anybody
- can help me out with this one, I'll give full credits (I'm thinking of
- buying the final version).
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [2.4] Smallsville Zoo 1 (Beginner)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Information: The town of Smallsville has been given a large monetary
- donation to start a new zoo. You have been hired to manage the
- construction and day-to-day operations. The first task is to build an
- exhibit, purchase a Bengal tiger, and hire a zookeeper to care for the
- new animal.
-
- Remember, habitat fencing must enclose an exhibit. Also note the
- Bengal tiger is from the tropical rainforests of India. Find trees which
- are native to the tropical rainforest and place these in the exhibit. If
- you need more information, select the "info" button on the adopt animal
- panel while the Bengal tiger icon is selected.
-
- Mission: * Adopt 1 Bengal tiger
- * Hire 1 Zookeeper
-
- Built: Nothing
-
- Exhibits: None
-
- Hired: Nobody
-
- Terrain: Grass
-
- How: Alright. This scenario is easy, but I'm going to explain how to
- make the Bengal tiger happy. If the animals in your zoo aren't happy,
- your guests aren't happy! When you see someone walking on the street
- who's crying, you won't laugh... no... you are going to feel sad too
- (I don't say you'll do this, it's just an example).
-
- First, you should make a fence. Select something tropical (no glass).
- Create a pretty big exhibit, like 6x6 tiles (it's just for one Bengal
- tiger remember). Please note that you'll create an entrance as soon
- as you finished the exhibit.
-
- You can now adopt the Bengal tiger. Place him inside the exhibit. Now
- comes the hard part; making your animal happy... It's really hard to
- do so, especially in the beginning.
-
- The first step your should take to make your animal happy is to look
- where the animal's from. A Bengal tiger lives in a tropical climate,
- so an exhibit with snow and ice won't be a smart idea! ;) The Bengal
- tiger likes Dirt, Shallow water, Forest ground and Grass. I can't
- really tell you where to place everything. Just look at your animal.
- If you animal is happy ':)', he likes the stuff you placed. If the
- animal isn't happy ':(', he don't likes the stuff you placed, or
- you placed too much of that stuff (i.e. don't place too much dirt).
-
- Ofcourse, your tiger also wants other things than ground ;) He wants
- plants, trees and bushes. The Bengal tiger likes Rainforest trees,
- so place about 4 trees in his exhibit.
-
- Now it's time to select your tiger. Close the screen with the ground,
- plants etc. and press the LMB (Left mouse Button) on your tiger. A
- new screen will appear with information about your tiger. Somewhere
- in this screen, you'll see a button with a zookeeper on it. Press this
- button to get some advice from a professional zookeeper. Maybe you
- placed way too much dirt, or you placed no shallow water. Whatever you
- did wrong, change it and keep trying until your tiger is happy... If
- your exhibit is good enough for the Bengal tiger, the screen will say
- "This exhibit is well suited for Bengal tiger 1".
-
- It'll get pretty frustrating when you can't make your tiger happy.
- You'll learn how to make him happy later in the game (keep practising!),
- so don't think you're a loser (even if you are one). Just hire a
- zookeeper to complete the first scenario!
-
- Outro: Great job! You now understand the basics of building exhibits and
- hiring staff.
-
- Lose: I can't believe you lost this scenario. What a loser!
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [2.5] Smallsville Zoo 2 (Beginner)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Information: Now that you've learned the basics of adopting animals and
- building exhibits, it's time to turn your attention to the guests. In Zoo
- Tycoon, it's important to balance the happiness of the animals with the
- happiness of the guests. Buying lots of exotic animals won't matter if
- the guest can't buy any food.
-
- Buy a burger stand, a drink stand, and a family bathroom. You can place
- the buildings wherever you like, but it will be more effective if they
- are near each other. That way guests can spend less time travelling to
- the buildings and more time watching the animals.
-
- When guest buy food, they generate trash. Buy and place 3 trashcans.
-
- Guests need placed to rest and eat. Buy and place 4 picnic tables and 4
- benches. Remember, the closer you place these items to the food
- buildings, the more effective the will be.
-
- Mission: * Purchase 1 Burger Stand
- * Purchase 1 Drink Stand
- * Purchase 1 Family Restroom
- * Purchase 3 Trash Cans
- * Purchase 4 Picnic Tables
- * Purchase 4 Large Benches
-
- Built: Nothing
-
- Exhibits: Tiger world (Tony - Bengal Tiger)
-
- Hired: Jane (zookeeper)
-
- Terrain: Grass
-
- How: First, take a look at the Bengal tiger. This way you should build
- exhibits. I know I didn't mention the cave and bushes, but otherwise it
- was a little too much ;) So next time, also build other things your
- animal likes.
-
- This scenario is very easy; just build what you should build and you're
- good to go!
-
- Build the Burger stand, Drink stand and Family restroom somewhere close
- to the tiger.
-
- After that, build the 3 trash cans, 4 picnic tables and 4 large benches
- and you've finished the second scenario ;)
-
- Outro: Congratulations, The Smallsville Zoo is off and running. The tiger
- is drawing in new guests and the new buildings satisfy the guests basic
- needs. There is still much to learn, but this zoo is off to a great
- start.
-
- Lose: It is important to provide the proper amenities for the guests.
- If they can't satisfy their basic needs they'll go someplace else. A
- well fed guest is a happy guest!
-
- Try this scenario again and remember to watch out for the completion
- time.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [2.6] Smallsville Zoo 3 (Beginner)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Information: The Smallsville Zoo is off to a great start. Now is the time
- to think about expanding the zoo by adding more animals and attractions.
- Guests will quickly become bored and leave the zoo if there are not
- enough things to see and do.
-
- Animals are the main attraction for the zoo. Adopt and build exhibits for
- a gazelle, zebra, giraffe and chimpanzee. Try putting the gazelle and
- zebra in the same exhibit. The animals like to be housed together and
- the guests like seeing multiple animals in one exhibit.
- Make sure the animals live in an exhibit they like because you'll have
- to keep the animals' happiness above a certain point to be successful. If
- you need more information about these animals, select the "info" button
- on the adopt animal panel with the animal icon selected.
-
- Some buildings satisfy the basic needs of the guest - food stands,
- bathrooms, etc. Some buildings provide entertainment. Purchase an
- elephant ride. Kids will love it. You should also purchase a gift shop
- to increase your cash flow. Guests also like to view animals in a
- pleasing environment. Try and spice up the zoo by adding an elephant
- fountain, and some topiary bushes.
-
- Mission: * Months to complete: 4
- * Adopt 1 Thomson's Gazelle
- * Adopt 1 Plain Zebra
- * Adopt 1 Giraffe
- * Adopt 1 Chimpanzee
- * Have animal rating of 60
- * Purchase 1 Elephant Ride
- * Purchase 1 Gift Shop
- * Purchase 1 Elephant Fountain
- * Purchase 1 Giraffe Topiary
- * Purchase 1 Elephant Topiary
-
- Built: 1 Burger Stand (Burger Stand 1), 1 Drink Stand (Drink Stand 1)
- 1 Family Restroom (Family Restroom), 6 Picnic Tables, 4 Large
- Benches, 3 Trash Cans
-
- Exhibits: Tiger world (Tony - Bengal Tiger)
-
- Hired: Jane (zookeeper)
-
- Terrain: Grass
-
- How: The first scenario with a time limit. It doesn't matter! You can
- finish this scenario within 2 months. In the other 2 months, I
- played Chuchu Rocket on my Dreamcast ;)
-
- First, build a exhibit and adopt a Thomson's Gazelle and a Plain
- Zebra. Place the 2 animals in the same exhibit. Use the zookeeper's
- information to check what the animals like. Create a perfect exhibit
- for the animals. If you want to have very happy animals, adopt from
- every animal 2 more (for the moment only 2 Gazelles and 2 Zebra's).
-
- After that, build an exhibit for the Giraffe. When the Giraffe(s)
- is/are happy, create an exhibit for the Chimpanzee. When the
- Chimpanzee(s) is/are happy, build the other things you must build to
- complete the scenario; Elephant Ride, Gift Shop, Elephant Fountain,
- Giraffe Topiary and Elephant Topiary. Please note that the
- topiaries can be found in the same screen where you plant bushes and
- trees with.
-
- BTW: If you check the information for the Drink Stand, you'll see
- it's build in year 7 :D
-
- Outro: Great job! The Smallsville Zoo continues to grow and expand. The
- response from the community is overwhelmingly positive.
-
- Lose: You have failed to achieve all the objectives.
-
- Remember to keep the animals happy. If your zookeeper is overworked,
- hire another to reduce the workload.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [2.7] Smallsville Zoo 4 (Beginner)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Information: The National Association of Zoos has recognised the
- Smallsville Zoo as the Best New Zoo in the Country. Continue your great
- work by increasing zoo admissions. Also focus on maintaining the
- happiness of the guests and animals.
-
- If the trash starts to pile up, hire a maintenance worker to keep the
- zoo clean. Also consider hiring a tour guide. They will walk from
- exhibit to exhibit lecturing the guests about the various animals.
-
- More animals will increase admissions, just make sure you have enough
- zookeepers to satisfy their needs.
-
- Mission: * Months to complete: 12
- * Have 100 guests in the zoo
- * Have a zoo rating of 50
- * Have a guest rating of 70
- * Have an animal rating of 60
- * Have at least 10 different species
-
- Built: 1 Burger Stand (Burger Shack), 1 Drink Stand (Drink Shack)
- 1 Family Restroom (Family Restroom), 6 Picnic Tables, 4 Large
- Benches, 3 Trash Cans, 1 Gift Shop (Smallsville Zoo Gifts),
- 1 Elephant Ride (Elephant Ride)
-
- Exhibits: Tiger world (Tony - Bengal Tiger), African Safari Exhibit
- (Dolly - Zebra, Zarly - Zebra, Zoe - Zebra, Gabby - Zebra,
- Gerry - Zebra, Gertie - Zebra), Giraffe Land (Jake - Giraffe),
- Monkey World (Bobo - Chimp, Bonzo - Chimp, Bungo - Chimp)
-
- Hired: Jane (zookeeper)
-
- Terrain: Grass, 1 Elephant fountain, 1 Giraffe Topiary, 1 Elephant
- Topiary
-
- How: Well... if you finish this one, you aren't a beginner anymore ;)
-
- If you look good, you'll see some animals are escaped!!! Build a stronger
- fence for the Chimpanzees and the Giraffes, then search the animals and
- place them back in their exhibit. I think this is just a bug in the
- BETA-version of the game.
-
- If you understand the things I taught you in the previous paragraphs,
- you don't have problems with this scenario. Just keep building exhibits
- with animals and the ratings etc. will go up. A zoo with no animals,
- won't attract guests, but if you have 10 different species, guests will
- take a look at your zoo. So: the more species, the more guests, the
- higher the rating. After 12 months, the scenario is finished. Have phun!
-
- If you get any problems with money, try to sell some animals...
-
- Outro: The Smallsville Zoo has become to represent all that is good about
- zoos. Your ability to master the basics of managing and running a zoo
- will increase your career options.
-
- Lose: The National Association of Zoos has rescinded their "Best New Zoo"
- award and the community is grumbling about mismanagement problems at the
- zoo.
-
- Make sure you complete the objectives within the allotted time. Keeping
- the guests happy can be the hardest task. Add more food and drink
- buildings if guests are having a hard time satisfying their needs.
- Think about decorating the zoo with statues, fountains, and flowerbeds
- to increase guest satisfaction.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [2.8] Revitalize Burkitsville Zoo (Intermediate)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Information: The Burkitsville Zoo has been badly managed for the last
- few years. The National Association of Zoos has threatened to close
- down the zoo because of the substandard living conditions for the
- animals. The town's mayor has appointed you the new Zoo Director with the
- mandate to return the Zoo to its once former vibrancy.
-
- Your first step should be to repair and upgrade the existing animal
- exhibits. After that, focus on increasing guest enjoyment by providing
- much needed services and attractions. Watch your spending, though if
- you get in real trouble, donations may be available.
-
- Mission: * Month to complete: 12
- * Have 100 guests in the zoo
- * Have a zoo rating of 50
- * Have an animal rating of 50
- * Have at least 8 different species
-
- Built: 3 Large Benches, 2 Picnic Tables, 1 Burger Stand (Burger Shack)
-
- Exhibits: Rhino Pen (Old Ralph - Rhino), Tiger World (Tony - Bengal
- Tiger), Monkey Pen (Charlie - Chimpansee, Andrew - Chimpansee), Gemsbok
- Exhibit (Gertie - Gemsbok, Gerry - Gemsbok)
-
- Hired: Jack (Zookeeper)
-
- Terrain: Dirt, Grass, Sand, 1 Elephant Statue
-
- How: This one is quite fun...
-
- First, pause the game and remove every fence. After you did this, build
- new fences and hire staff. But you shouldn't only build new fences, you
- should also make the exhibits bigger.
-
- Remove the dirt paths and place concrete paths in stead of the dirt
- paths.
-
- The zoo is running... but the animals aren't happy! Make the animals
- happy; edit their exhibits. The best way to do this, is by removing
- his/her mate, edit their exhibit (using the zookeepers recommendations
- button), selling the animal, and adopting 1 male and 1 female of that
- type.
-
- Now build restaurants, burger stand, drink stand, restrooms etc., so your
- guests are happy...
-
- And the final step; expanding your zoo... One big hint: create a big
- exhibit, and place plain zebras, common wildebeests etc. Check chapter
- [15] to find out which animals like each other.
-
- If you follow these instructions, the guests will come in no time and
- you'll have the scenario finished!
-
- Don't be afraid to use money... you'll get about 3 donations of $15000,-
- each time.
-
- Outro: Great Job! You have succeeded in returning this zoo to its once
- former glory. Your career as a zoo administrator is looking up.
-
- Lose: Unfortunately your efforts to save the Burkitsville zoo have failed.
- Too many years of neglect have finally taken its toll. The National
- Association of Zoos has closed the gates and sent the animals to other
- zoos where they will have a better quality of life.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [2.9] Inner City Zoo (Intermediate)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Information: As part of the Mayor's taskforce, you have been put in charge
- of creating the city's first Zoo. The over-cramped conditions make this
- task very tough. Land is at a premium and the city can only afford to
- give the Zoo so much of it. Your main challenge in the scenario will be
- space, which you'll have to pay close attention. Your Zoo's layout will
- effect how much you can fit within the space allotted. You have 3 year
- contract in which to complete these tasks.
-
- Mission: * Months to complete: 12
- * Have 100 guests in the zoo
- * Have a zoo rating of 55
- * Have a guest rating of 80
- * Have an animal rating of 55
- * Have at least 6 different species
-

-
- Exhibits: None
-
- Hired: Nobody
-
- Terrain: Dirt, Grass, Sand, Brown Rock
-
- How: Just build a new zoo, just like I've learn you in the first
- scenario's. This shouldn't be a problem...
-
- Outro: Congratulations, You have become the Star of the Mayor's taskforce.
- The city has its first ever Zoo, which is thriving and successful. You
- managed to over come the over-cramped conditions with in the Mayors time
- frame. Are you ready to take on the next challenge?
-
- Lose: Disappointed by your performance, the mayor has asked that you try
- to create this zoo again. This is a big loss for the city, and its
- citizens. You have failed to meet the mayors goals.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [2.10] Save the Great Cats (Advanced)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Information: A wealthy benefactor has come forward with a plan to help
- save some of the world's great cats. She has hired you to open a zoo

- donated by the US government, is located in the desert near Flagstaff,
- Arizona. The zoo will be the focal point of a revitalization plan for
- the area.
-
- You need to have a zoo with all the cats in the game. Some need to be
- researched and some are harder to care for than others. These cats need
- to have a certain level of happiness, especially with regard to their

-
- Hire staff...
-
- Start to build an exhibit for the lions, place a male and a female lion
- and be sure they are both 100% happy. When you did this, create an
- exhibit for the Bengal tigers. Again one male and one female etc.
-
- When you can adopt the new animals you need, create an exhibit for them
- and make them happy.
-
- You don't have to focus yourself on your guests. Just be sure they have
- everything they need and give money.
-
- If you're using the BETA-version, first check paragraph [4.7] before you
- save and quit.
-

- Information: The government of Kenya has hired you to run a new Safari
- Park.
-

- [4] Bugs and glitches
- ==========================================================================
-
- Note: I test all The bugs and glitches you'll find here. If you
- have any bugs or glitches, just mail me.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [4.1] Animal is stuck
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- I saw this bug when I was at Gerder's place (read the credits and intro).
- He built a exhibit with hippos and so far there was no problem. But
- suddenly, a hippo couldn't move anymore! He tried to moved up and down,
- but he didn't move! The only solution for this bug seems to sell the
- animal and buy it again. Moving the animal may also help, but we didn't
- try this. As long as the animal is stuck, it can't eat.
-
- "Hi - your guide is great. I just wanted to let you know that for
- 'Animals get stuck', sometimes if you move them into another pen (I do it
- with gazelles, zebras, and hippos) they will eat and get out of the loop,
- and then you put them back. That usually works but not all the time.
- Keep up the good work."
- -Rhiannon Brooks
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [4.2] Animal is escaped
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This is a pretty irritating bug. No matter what kind of fence you build,
- the animals will escape!!! You can see this in the fourth scenario (also
- see chapter 2).
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [4.3] Animal can't die
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- I'm not sure if this is a bug, but I consider it as a bug ;) If a animal
- doesn't get food, isn't happy, is sick and doesn't like it exhibit, in
- real life it will die. Well; in Zoo Tycoon it won't die :| Animals can't
- seem to die...
-
- "Hello,
- I am enjoying your Zoo Tycoon FAQ!! cannot wait to see the finished
- version. In your section 4.3 (Animal can't die). In the released
- version (just got it!!! :) ) animals do die, I have had several die of
- old age, but none so far from them being sick"
- -Mike Riley
-
- "U said that animals can't die right?
-
- Well ur wrong, escaped, unhappy, hungry or sick animals can't die, but
- happy animals can. Wanna know how?
- Well here it is. If u wanna see an animal die just research the endangered
- animals and after u get the WHITE BENGAL TIGER, just buy 1 male n 1
- female. After about 13 to 14 months, both of the tigers will have at
- least 1-2 cubs n they will go into their shelter and won't come out. Then
- u will see a RED messege saying,'White Bengal Tiger 1 had died of old
- age. See.... U have 2 trust me B'cos I've seen this in both Senario n
- Freeform Games."
- -Alvin
-
- Note: Alvin; I didn't try it out yet, because I don't have the time right
- now, but I'll try it out soon ("Or else I hope ur cpu catch a virus")...
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [4.4] Blinking cursor
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This is a common bug in the BETA-version of the game; the cursor keeps
- blinking and blinking. There's nothing you can do against it, so just
- ignore it...
-
- Note: I found this bug on my old system (Pentium II 266 MMX, 2MB Videocard
- (S3), 128 MB RAM), but I can't find this bug on my new system (AMD XP
- 1700+ Mhz, 32MB Videocard (GeForce II), 256 MB RAM). On both systems, I
- installed DirectX 8.0a.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [4.5] Guests won't eat
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Source: NeoSeeker.com forum, T1000
-
- "Yes!! This problem happens after the 500th guests. No matter how many
- seats (benches and tables) and food outlets in your zoo, the nos. of
- guests who gets hungry will escalate after 500th mark!!
-
- After much investigation, most of the guest have some sort of food in
- their hand. But they are just too stupid to find a seat to sit down and
- eat them!! Even if the seat is right in front of them!"

-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [4.6] Animal walks on water
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Source: A friend of me; SoepKip
-
- Sometimes, an animal will walk on water. SoepKip was playing Zoo Tycoon at
- my place and he said: "Look! That hippo is walking on the water"... my
- reply was: "Take a screenshot!"... and he did! So I have a screenshot of
- a hippo walking on water ;)
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [4.7] Research & Conservation away
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Another bug found by Gerder. When you researched anything, or found
- endangered species, you will lose all the information when you restart the
- game (even if you save).
-
- Note: This only seems to happen in the BETA-version.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [4.8] Guest sits behind bench
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- I was working in chapter [2]. I finished that scenario and was looking
- around in the zoo. And suddenly, a guest sat down... behind a bench. I
- also took a screenshot of this bug... ;)

- [5] Manual
- ==========================================================================
-
- This isn't the official Zoo Tycoon manual! I don't even have the original
- game, so I had to write my own manual. I hope you find it useful :D
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [5.1] Main menu
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- When you loaded the game, you'll see the main menu (after the loading
- message). The main menu looks like this:
-
- Play Scenario Game - Ever played Rollercoaster Tycoon? In Rollercoaster
- Tycoon, you had to play mission in order to continue to the next level.
- This is the same idea; you'll get a mission and when you finished that
- mission, you can move on to the next one. See paragraph 3 for more
- information on Scenario Games.
-
- Play Freeform Game - Just like Simcity... you'll get some flat land and
- your mission is to create a zoo. No mission or something, just play
- until you don't want to play anymore ;)
-
- Load Game - Load a game you saved in Scenario or Freeform mode. In the
- version you can download with Kaazaa, some savegames are included.
- Savegames have the extension ZOO.
-
- Continue Current Game - Doesn't work in the BETA-version. It seems clear
- to me what is does; continue a game if you're playing one.
-
- Check for New Zoo Tycoon Items - With this option, you can connect to
- the internet and download new items for Zoo Tycoon. I did not test
- this BTW. See paragraph 2 for more information on downloading new
- items.
-
- Game Credits - Doesn't work in the BETA-version. It'll show the credits
- if you don't understand :p
-
- Exit Zoo Tycoon - WTF do you expect? ;)
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [5.2] Check for New Zoo Tycoon Items
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- From time to time, Microsoft will release new items. Select this option
- from the main menu to show a new screen.
-
- [The following information is taken from the Microsoft-site]
-
- First, click on "Check Internet". Wait until the game is finished. Select
- the items you want to download and click on the "Add Items" button. When
- the download(s) is/are finished, the game will restart and you can use
- the new items.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [5.3] Play Scenario Game
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- When you select "Play Scenario Game" from the main menu, a new screen will
- appear;

- [5.5] Zoo finances
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.5.1] Zoo finances
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Money is very important in Tycoon-games, so check this screen from time
- to time. You can get and lose money in 9 different ways:
-
- Admissions - How many guests paid admissions this month?
- Admissions income - Looks clear to me... what does the guests pay for
- checking your park out?
-
- Private donations - Some guests think your Zoo is very beautiful and
- they'll give you donations in order to keep it up. See sub-paragraph
- 5.5.2 for more information about donations.
-
- Concessions - I don't know this one for sure... Please mail me if you know
- what it means.
-
- Recycling benefit - When you removed an object with the "Remove objects"-
- button, you'll get some money back.
-
- Construction cost - Everything costs something. When you're building
- exhibits, benches or stands; you'll have to pay for it.
-
- Animal purchase cost - A zoo needs animals; wild animals. Unless you can
- find a tiger in your backyard, you must pay for the animals.
-
- Animal upkeep cost - When you have an animal (maybe the tiger from your
- backyard), they'll have to eat, sleep etc. And those things cost money.
- And unless your tiger doesn't eat, you'll have to pay for it ;)
-
- Employee wages - Someone has to tour the guests, clean the park and
- feed the animals. In other words: you'll need staff. Unless your little
- brother wants to do this all for you, you'll have to pay for it :D
-
- Research cost - In this first scenario's, you won't need this. But after
- a while, your guests want to see some new animals. And unless your
- teaches want to do the research, you'll have to pay for it :p
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.5.2] Zoo donations
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Like I told you in the previous sub-paragraph, if guests like your park,
- they'll give you donations in order to keep up the good work. In this
- screen, you can view the incoming donations. You can choice between a line
- and a bar.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.5.3] Zoo profit
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- This is a simple version of the Zoo finances-screen. No strange numbers,
- just a simple line (or bar).
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.5.4] Zoo attendance
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- This screen will show you how many guests you have at the moment. You can
- choice between a line and a bar.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [5.6] Zoo status
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- You can also activate this screen, by clicking with the LMB on the zoo
- entrance.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.6.1] Zoo status
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Some nice statistics about your zoo;
-
- Admission price - In order to keep the animals and guests happy, you'll
- need money. And one way to get that money, is by asking an admission
- price. The minimum value is $0.00 and the maximum value is $100.00. An
- adult will have to pay the full price, a child on 50% of that price.
-
- Number of animals - Nice to know... but do you care ;)
-
- Number of exhibits - Yes... very interesting. Thank you Microsoft for
- this function :p
-
- Number of attractions - This isn't Rollercoaster Tycoon dear Microsoft...
- well, I guess an elephant ride is an attraction...
-
- Number of guest - In some scenario's, you'll have to get an certain
- amount of guest in order to complete that scenario. So this one is
- useful.
-
- Number of staff - In the first scenarios, you'll have to hire staff.
- Check this function to know how many you have (but you can count to
- one, right?)
-
- Number of Zoo members - I have no idea... please mail me!
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.6.2] Zoo awards
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- In the BETA-version, you can't get any awards. You'll have the "Best
- little plastic animal award, 2001" 5 times ^_^
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.6.3] Zoo rating
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- In some scenario's, you'll have to get a rating in order to complete the
- scenario. I don't recommend to go all this way to the screen; just hold
- your mouse over the Zoo rating-bar ;) The minimum value is 0, the
- maximum 100 (Rollercoaster Tycoon used a better system).
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.6.4] Scenario information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- So you forgot what to do? Don't worry, check this screen to know what to
- do? But why do you need this screen anyway? You're a smart person, and
- you've this guide ;)
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [5.7] Animal list
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- You'll find various button in this screen (if you click on an animal, a
- new screen will open. See paragraph 17 for more information about this
- screen);
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.7.1] All animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- If you are a very active person (or when you're bored), you can count the
- animals in this list in order to know how many you have. If you're lazy
- (like me), you can also just use the Zoo status-screen.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.7.2] Sick animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Like humans, animals also get sick. If you encounter this problem, you
- should hire more zookeepers. If the animal is sick, he will make the
- other animals unhappy and even sick. The only reason an animal gets sick,
- is because he's unhappy (gettit?).
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.7.3] Unhappy animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- This is the reason why animals get sick; because they're unhappy. If you
- encounter this problem, you must trace the animal and look why he's
- unhappy. The 2 most common problems are: 1) it's escaped or 2) it doesn't
- like it exhibit. If the problem is #2, look why he's unhappy (see
- paragraph 17 to read how to do that). Most of the time, you didn't use
- the right terrain-combination, or you placed animals in his exhibit it
- doesn't like.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.7.4] Angry animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Your animals also can become angry. Most of the time, the animal doesn't
- have access to its food. Find out what's wrong and make it happy again.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.7.5] Hungry animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- In the BETA-version, this often happens. See paragraph 4.1 for more
- information about this bug. If it wasn't the bug, you don't have enough
- zookeepers :p
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.7.6] Escaped animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- This is also a common bug in the BETA-version. See paragraph 4.2 for
- more information about this bug. When the animal is escaped, trace it
- down and place it in its exhibit. If it keep escaping, build a stronger
- or higher fence. You must understand that a low wooden fence won't prevent
- a tiger from escaping ;)
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [5.8] Guest list
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- You'll find various button in this screen (if you click on a guest, a
- new screen will open. See paragraph 18 for more information about this
- screen);
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.8.1] All guests
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- If you are a very active person (or when you're bored), you can count the
- guests in this list in order to know how many you have. If you're lazy
- (like me), you can also just use the Zoo status-screen.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.8.2] Thirsty guests
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- I know this problem; I have to deal with it every day on school :D Build
- some drink stands to help this guests.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.8.3] Bathroom guests
- __________________________________________________________________________

- Sometimes, you'll have to urinate. The same goes for your guests. Build
- some bathroom and they'll do fine.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.8.4] Angry guests
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- They don't like your zoo. Check for escaped and angry animals and fix the
- problem.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.8.5] Hungry guests
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- A second school-problem; when I'm hungry. I'll have to buy some food or
- wait until I'm home (In the Netherlands, you bring your own food with
- you). Buy some nice stands to help this kind of guests.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.8.6] Tired guests
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Another school-problem; when I'm tired ;) Most of the time, I'll get my
- sleep in the lessons, but sometimes I can't. Place benches, tables etc.
- to help this guests.
-

- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.10.2] Unassigned staff
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- In order to get your staff doing the right thing, you should assign them
- to an exhibit. If you don't do this, they'll just wander around and do
- very little.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.10.3] Assigned staff
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Good work (if every member of the staff is in this list); if you have

- your zoo.

-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [5.11] Construct exhibit
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.11.1] Fences
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- A zoo needs cages. If you don't have them, the animal will run free
- around in your zoo; and guests don't like that ;) So build fences to
- create cages. See chapter 6.1 for more information about fences.
-
- When you've finished a complete fence, a gate will be placed
- automatically. If you want to move the gate, use the manual gate
- placer-button to move it.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.11.2] Paths
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The guests will walk on paths, if they exist. If the guest can't find any
- paths, they'll walk on the grass... See chapter 6.2 for more information
- about paths.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.11.3] Exhibit foliage
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- If you place foliage, your animals will like their exhibits. If you don't
- place foliage, your animals will get angry and sick... See chapter 6.3
- for more information about foliage.
-
- Use the buttons below to turn the foliage around.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.11.4] Exhibit rocks
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Some animals (like penguins), like rocks in stead of foliage. See chapter
- 6.4 for more information about rocks.
-
- Use the buttons below to turn the rocks around.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.11.5] Change terrain type
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Most animals (read: every animal) don't like grass only. You'll have
- to change the terrain type in order to make the animals happy. See chapter
- 6.5 for more information about changing the terrain type.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [5.12] Adopt animals
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Do you know a zoo without animals? I don't! So adopting animals is really
- a main factor of the game. If you don't, you'll get no guests and no
- guests means no money. So; adopt those animals. See chapter 7 for more
- information about the animals available in the game.
-
- You can also choice between male and female. Below, you can find
- information about the animal you've selected.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [5.13] Buy zoo objects
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.13.1] Zoo object
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- In order to make your guests happy, you need animals. But only animals
- won't be enough! You'll have to place stands, shops etc. in order to
- really make the guests happy... See chapter 6.5 for more information about
- objects.
-
- Use the buttons below to turn the objects around.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.13.2] Zoo scenery
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Guests get tired and hungry. If you're tired, you'll take a rest. So if
- your guests are tired, they'll also take a rest. Placing benches will
- help them out. Another problem; the guests get hungry! So you'll have
- to place picnic tables, so they can eat their food. See chapter 6.6 for
- more information about scenery.
-
- Use the buttons below to turn the scenery around.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.13.3] Exhibit Shelters
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- You'll also have to make your animals happy. Sometimes, it's cold outside.
- You won't like to sleep outside when it's cold, right? Your animals won't
- like that either. So give them shelters, so they can sleep inside! See
- chapter 6.7 for more information about shelters.
-
- Use the buttons below to turn the shelters around.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [5.13.4] Exhibit toys
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Imagine this: you have food, you have water, you have a house and you
- have a bed. That's all! A pretty boring life isn't it? So give your
- animals some toys to keep them busy please! ;) See chapter 6.8 for more
- information about toys.
-
- Use the buttons below to turn the toys around.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Do you know a zoo without staff? No, you don't! (if you do: please give
- me the name of the zoo, so I can check it out :p) So you'll have to hire
- some staff in order to keep the zoo up and running. See chapter 7 for more
- information about staff (I know, staff aren't animals, but I had to place
- them somewhere!).
-
- Below, you'll find the name of the staff member, the monthly salary
- and the staff duties.

- [7.1] American Buffalo
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.1.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The African, or Cape, Buffalo is the only African species of the large
- international family which includes the American bison and European
- domesticated cattle. At the speed of up to 35 mph, buffalo's are capable
- of outrunning a pursuing lion, but can be ambushed in spite of this since
- it is difficult for them to get up to speed quickly. With poor eyesight
- and hearing, these animals depend greatly upon their keen sense of smell,
- which can detect a predator 800 feet away.
-
- The African Buffalo roams the Savannah in large herds. Each herd has an
- established tang, which rarely overlaps with the ranges of other herds.
- The social behaviour among buffalo's is highly cooperative; for instance,
- if a herd crosses into a solitary bull's territory, that bull will lead
- the herd through its land, and then allow the next bull to take over at
- the boundary. At rest, related animals within a herd will often lie with
- backs touching or with chins propped on each other's backs.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.1.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The native habitat of the African buffalo is the Savannah found in
- central and southern Africa. While these animals can survive under all
- sorts of conditions found within the northern and southern Savannah and
- even within certain areas of the rainforest, its ideal habitat is an open
- area containing high grass thickets and the occasional tree for cover, and
- where there is a permanent supply of water and mud for wallowing. The
- buffalo grazes on a wide assortment of the Savannah grass. Its long,
- prehensile tongue allows it to consume the taller, coarse grass usually
- avoided by other herd animals.
-
- Although these large animals need space in which to roam, they tend to be
- tolerant of the close proximity of other animals.
-
- As with most animals in captivity, buffalo's require a place in which they
- can escape from the hot sun or inclement weather. These are usually
- stables or wooden structures with a protective overhang.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.1.3] Compatible animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The African Buffalo is a social animal. Buffalo's are often fount in
- herds of 500 to 2000 individuals in the open spaces of the African
- Savannah. Because of their relatively large size and need for space, in
- captivity they are found in much smaller groups of around 2-10 animals. In
- general, buffalo's prefer to be with their own kind and become agitated
- when grouped with other animals. They are made uncomfortable by animals
- which are foreign to their native habitats.
-
- While adult buffalo's, weighting in at over 1000 pounds, are generally
- safe from attack, they will vigorously protect their young from such
- predators as lions and hyenas. Only lions are capable of bringing down
- a healthy adult buffalo, and, in so doing, run a considerable risk of
- being treed, gored or trampled by an enraged herd.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.1.4] Animal behaviour
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Buffalo's tend to be quiet animals, expect for the grunts and bellows
- common to the mating season. On the whole, the African buffalo is
- rather placid, expect when it is injured or threatened. When threatened,
- the buffalo will aggressively shake its head, presenting its formidable
- horns to its opponent. An angry buffalo will also stamp its feet and
- charge. In a herd, this behaviour is contagious; one enraged buffalo can
- quickly upset the other animals.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [7.2] Giant Anteaters
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.2.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Giant anteaters are Gray with destructive black and white markings, and
- their narrow bodies are about the size of a large dog. They are covered in
- coarse hair which helps to protect them from insect bites. Anteaters lack
- teeth and their jaws can only open half an inch. Their chief
- distinguishing characteristic is an extremely long, cylindrical snout,
- which the anteater is able to thrust directly into ant and termite
- colonies. Its long, sticky tongue is well-adapted for catching insects,
- and can flick in and out its mouth at a rate of up to 160 times a minute.
- These animals are efficient eaters, and can consume up to 30,000 insects a
- day. Giant anteaters get most of the water they need from the insects they
- consume. This species prefers large ants, such as carpenter ants, which
- have neither heavy jaws nor chemical defences. They will not eat fire
- ants.
-
- The anteater has an excellent sense of smell, which they use to locate
- their prey. They have good hearing but terrible eyesight.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.2.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Giant anteaters are primarily found in the Savannah and grasslands of
- Central and South America. They prefer open, grassy areas, with some
- trees. Although this species of anteater doesn't climb trees, they
- reportedly can climb out of enclosures with ease.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.2.3] Compatible animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Anteaters are not social creatures. In the wild, they roam in solitude,
- expect for mother-young pairs and during the breeding season. In
- captivity, they are usually found in groups of 1-3 animals.
-
- The principal predators of the anteater are members of the cat family,
- such as the puma and the jaguar. Humans pose the greatest danger to this
- threatened creature, by the systematic and ongoing destruction of its
- habitat.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.2.4] Animal behaviour
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Anteaters walk on the sides of their hands with the claws tucked inwards
- in order to keep the claws sharp. They will sleep up to fifteen hours a
- day. While sleeping, they cover themselves with their long fanlike tails.
- Depending on the temperature and the humidity of the area, these animals
- may be active day and night.
-
- A female giant anteater gives birth to one baby each year. The mother
- carries her offspring on her back for up to a year, even though a baby
- anteater is capable of a slow gallop one month after birth.

- [7.5] American Bighorn
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.5.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The American bighorn sheep possess massive brown-spiralled horns and
- beautiful brown fur. These animals live in the western mountains of North
- America, ranging from southern Canada all the way to northern Mexico.
-
- Bighorn sheep are very alert and, in addition to keen hearing and a good
- sense of smell, have remarkable vision that allows them to judge distances
- accurately in jumping and locating footholds. Their eyesight also allows
- them to see other animals moving up to a mile away. Bighorn hooves are
- hard on the outside and soft on the inside, and so act as shock absorbers,
- contributing to the sheep's ability to rapidly scramble up rocky terrain.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.5.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The ideal habitat for a Bighorn Sheep is the brown and Gray rock of a
- steep mountainside, broken by an open alpine meadow carpeted with some
- grass and a variety of succulent low-growing vegetation.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.5.3] Compatible animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Bighorn sheep are gregarious, sometimes gathering in herds of over 100
- individuals, although small groups of 8-10 are more common. In general,
- these animals gather in herds led by a dominant ewe, expect for bachelor
- males, who form small bands of their own. In captivity, this animal
- prefers a herd size of 3-10 animals.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.5.4] Animal behaviour
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Bighorns are generally active during the day, alternately grazing and
- lying down to chew their cud.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [7.6] American Bison
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.6.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The American bison, sometimes referred to as the American buffalo, once
- comprised the largest community of wild animals in the history of the
- world. By one estimate, there were sixty million in North America when
- Columbus landed. During the late 1800s, millions of the animals were
- wantonly slaughtered, bringing them to the verge of extinction. Today,
- bison's live only in parks and reserves.
-
- Bison's are very alert animals, with a keen sense of smell and hearing. A
- bison can detect a scent from up to three kilometres away.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.6.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The more common variety of bison -- the plain bison -- is by definition
- a creature of the grasslands. These animals thrive on a variety of
- grasses. Bison's need an adequate supply of water, which they take once a
- day, and a great deal of space. They also appreciate some areas of dirt
- and sand in which they can wallow when the mood strikes. In their natural
- habitat, bison's will use the occasional tree for shade and protection
- from insects. In captivity, a stable-like shelter can provide the same
- function.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.6.3] Compatible animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Bison's are very social animals, and in their native habitat, range in
- herds of about sixty individuals, comprised of cows, calves and young
- adults. Adult males range singly or in smaller groups. In captivity, due
- to the bison's need for space, their herds are smaller, containing 3-10
- individuals.
-
- As the largest mammal on the North American continent, a healthy, adult
- bison need not have much fear of predators. Bison's can charge at speeds
- over 30 mph, and both male and female bison's have massive heads, which
- are not only equipped with lethal horns, but are also effective as
- battering rams. As if this arsenal were not enough, a bison's hind legs
- can also be used to kill or main any animal perceived to be a threat.
- Grizzly bears and cougars were once formidable foes of the bison, but are
- now relatively uncommon in the areas bison dwell today. Young, old or sick
- bison's may still be preyed upon by wolves.

- [7.8] Black Rhinoceros
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.8.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- After the elephant, the rhinoceros is the second largest land creature.
- The black rhino can stand more than five feet tall and weight as much as
- 4,000 pounds. Two horns and a hooked distinguish this species
- prehensile upper lip. The black rhino's hide is actually Gray, but often
- looks darker due to the coating of black mud it frequently wallows in. The
- rhino's skin hosts many external parasites which are eaten by the tick
- birds and egrets that live with the rhino. These birds provide an
- additional benefit in that their startled flight alerts the rhino is
- potential danger.
-
- The rhino's horn, coupled with its massive size and volatile temperament,
- make it a dangerous creature to mess with. The black rhino can charge at
- speeds up to 30 miles per hour. The rhino has poor eyesight but an acute
- sense of smell and hearing.
-
- In the wild, the rhino feeds on bark, leaves, twigs and the occasional
- wild fruit. A browser, this animal is known to consume more than 200
- different kinds of plants and herbs. In captivity, rhinos can be fed
- alfalfa and hay, oats, horse feed and mixed vegetables.
-
- The rhino has roamed the earth for over 50 million years, making it one
- of the most venerable species in existence. Venerable has given away to
- vulnerable; today, the back rhino is one of the most critically
- endangered species on the planet. The entire black rhino population in
- the wild currently hovers at around 2500 animals.
-
- Although rhinos can live up to 45 years in captivity, they rarely
- reproduce under these conditions.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.8.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The native habitat of the black rhinoceros is the wide Savannah found
- in central and southern Africa. Black rhinos can be found in South Africa,
- Zimbabwe and Namibia. The black rhinoceros prefers hilly areas of the
- Savannah. They appreciate open dirt or muddy areas, which can become
- opportunities for wallowing. In addition, the availability of a sizeable
- quantity of water is quite important to these creatures.
-
- Large animals, they tend to dirty their habitat more quickly than other
- animals. Their size also means that rhinos tend to need larger habitats.
-
- As with most animals in captivity, rhinos require a place in which they
- can escape from the hot sun or inclement weather. The are usually stables
- or wooden structures with a protective overhang.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.8.3] Compatible animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The rhino is a solitary animal, coming together with its own kind only
- to mare. These animals can sometimes be found in small family groups,
- usually a female and her young. Young rhinos may stay with their mother
- for 3-4 years, or until the next calf is born, at which time they are
- driven off. In captivity, it is unusual to find more than two rhinos in
- one habitat. The rhino's nature also means that enclosure with other
- species will tend to make it nervous and upset.
-
- Occasionally, a hyena will manage to take down a baby rhino. Other than
- hyenas, the rhino's only enemy is man, but this particular enemy poses an
- extreme threat to its survival. Since 1970, the black rhino population has
- declined 90 percent. Today, the entire black rhino population consists of
- about 2700 animals. Their main value to poachers rests in their horns,
- which are a valuable ingredient in Asian medicine, and are also prized for
- making daggers in Yemen. Another threat to this creature is the ongoing
- destruction of its habitat.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.8.4] Animal behaviour
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Black rhinos are known to their fierce temperaments. They are aggressive
- animals, which will charge when, threatened. As they are very
- near-sighted, however, it is thought that these charges may either be
- blind rushed meant to scare off attackers or an attempt to quickly get
- closer to a potential threat in order to identify it. Before charging, an
- agitated rhino will make a distinctive snorting call, often while shaking
- its head and stamping its feet.
-
- Rhinos are most active early and late in the day and tend to wallow in
- mud during the hottest part of the day. The mud both cools off the rhino
- -- a necessary measure due to its lack of sweat glands -- and provides
- a barrier to repel annoying insects. Rather sedentary by nature, a content
- rhino can often be seen lying around in the sun.
-
- Black rhino's calves are born in heavy cover, and stay hidden for up to a
- week. After leaving cover, they walk behind their mothers.

- [7.10] Chimpanzee
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.10.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The chimpanzee is a highly social animal, living in groups of 9-120
- animals. In captivity, they can be found in groups of 3-15 individuals.
- They are likely to get agitated when they are placed alone in a habitat.
-
- The chimpanzee's diet varies according to region but consists mainly of
- fruit, leaves and bark. In the wild, much of their day is spend foraging
- for this food, whereas in captivity, they tend to use this time for
- social activities, such as playing, grooming and other interactions.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.10.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The native setting of the chimpanzee is the tropical rainforests of
- central Africa. The large trees and dense vegetation of this region
- generally allows little light to reach the forest floor, and only the
- occasional clearing allows grass to flourish.
-
- Chimpanzees prefer to spend their time in and among the large rainforest
- trees. When in danger, they can quickly scamper up the tree trunks,
- thereby avoiding most predators.
-
- Scattered rocks found in their rainforest habitat afford many
- opportunities for fun to the playful chimpanzee.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.10.3] Compatible animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Chimpanzees prefer to socialise with their own kind. They will often
- become upset when placed in a habitat with other animals, especially if
- these happen to be large carnivores.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.10.4] Animal behaviour
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Chimpanzees spend much of their time exploring their habitats. When
- agitated, they are very vocal -- hooting and hollering. One angry chimp
- can set off the entire group.

- [7.12] Dromedary Camel
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.12.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The dromedary camel is a semi-social animal, equally at home alone or with
- up to 15 other animals. Camels are no longer found in the wild, being
- completely domesticated. They are commonly referred to as "the ships of
- the desert", by the native peoples of North Africa who use them as bears
- of burden. On captivity, they can be found in groups of one to ten
- animals.
-
- Camels are highly resilient animals, able to go five to seven days with
- little or no food or water. They van survive eating thorns, dry
- vegetation, and saltbrush that other mammals avoid. In captivity, they
- prefer dates, grass, wheat and oats.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.12.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The dry, arid deserts environment of North Africa are the home to the
- camel. This harsh and unforgiving terrain is known for its exceedingly
- high temperatures, lack of water and vast empty expanses of sand, broken
- by the occasional stretch of dirt or rocky ground. Camels are well-adapted
- to the harsh conditions of their desert habitat, and prefer it above all
- others.
-
- As with most animals in captivity, camels requite a place in which they
- can escape from the hot sun or inclement weather. These are usually
- stables or wooden structures with a protective overhang.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.12.3] Compatible animals

-
- Camels prefer their own company. They often become agitated around
- unfamiliar animals.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.12.4] Animal behaviour
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Camels have an ill-deserved reputation for being bad-tempered and
- obstinate creatures which spit and kick. In reality, they tend to be
- amiable, patient and intelligent. An upset camel will stamp its feet and
- run around the habitat.

- [7.13] African Elephant
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.13.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Elephants are herbivores, eating various grasses, hay, and even trees.
- They eat frequently, which is not suprising, given their enormous size.
- Their long, flexible trunks allow them both to reach down to pull down
- tasty branches inaccessible even to a giraffe. All that eating means that
- elephants tend to dirty their habitats more quickly than many animals. A
- herd of these creatures can tax even the most decicated keepers cleaning
- efforts. Elephants are hardy animals which don't get often sick. When they
- do, their strong constitutions allow them to weather the illness a
- relatively long time before it becomes life-threatening.
-
- Elephants reproduce poorly in captivity.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.13.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The native habitat of the elephant is the open savannah found in central
- and southern Africa. The region is noted for its wide swatches of tall
- grasses broken by the occasional stands of acacias and the large African
- baobab tree, which the elephants like to use for shade. Areas of dirt and
- sand near waterholes form cool mudholes for the elephant to wallow in, and
- the occasional large rock provides a prefect stratching post for removing
- the dried mud.
-
- In the wild, elephants occupy a wide geographic range, often travelling
- many miles in a single day. In captivity, elephants need relatively large
- spaces in which to love and move about. The more elephants, the more space
- they need. Zoos generally provide special houses for their elephants to
- use at night and during inclement weather. These shelters also allow an
- elephant to escape from the crowd should it begin to feel uncomfortable.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.13.3] Compatible animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Elephants are very social animals. While they are often found in groups
- of 5-25 individuals in the wild, keeping great numbers of elephants in a
- zoo setting would tax even the wealthiest of zoos. In captivity, groups
- of 2-6 individuals are more common. Elephants can quickly become upset
- when they don't have enough contact with others of their own kind.
-
- As the largest land mammals in the world, elephants can afford to feel
- relatively safe in the wild, at least from other animals. In general,
- elephants only tolerate their own kind. While they have nothing to fear
- from even the largest predators, they still get very agitated when
- placed in close proximity to these animals. Elephants can also made
- uncomfortable by the buffalo and the rhinoceros.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.13.4] Animal behaviour
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Elephants are very vocal animals. When they are angry, they tend to make
- the familiar loud trumpeting sound. In addition, they will often run
- around and make other agitated movements. Their highly social nature means
- that one angry elephant can quickly upset the rest of the herd.

- [7.14] Emperor Penguin
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.14.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Emperor penguins are the largest species of penguin, standing 3.7 feet
- tall and weighing 60-90 pounds. As birds which spend most of their lives
- at sea, penguins have traded flight for the ability to swim underwater.
- Emperor penguins swim at speeds ranging from five to almost nine miles
- per hour.
-
- They are terrific drivers; dives of up to 1700 feet and 18 minutes have
- been recorded, although the usual depth and duration of their dives is
- much less.
-
- Emperor penguins have little or no sense of smell and their sense of
- taste is also limited. It is thought that they may be nearsighted on
- land, but see better when they are underwater. They are able to endure
- extremely cold temperatures because their thick layers of overlapping,
- oil-coated feathers forms a waterproof coat that provides excellent
- insulation. Their black and white colouring makes them nearly invisible
- to predators from both above and below.
-
- Female Emperor penguins lay their eggs, then head out to sea to feed
- for up to sixty days. During this period, the male stands waiting her
- return with the egg balanced on his feet, covered by a loose piece of
- skin called the brood flap. During this incubation period, the father
- penguin can lose up to half his body weight.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.14.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Emperor penguins are found exclusively in Antarctica within the pack-ice
- region. These birds can survive temperatures of -40 degrees Celsius. They
- avoid the open water beyond the limits of the floating ice, and are
- usually found near nutrient-rich, cold-water currents that provide an
- abundant supply of food. In general, penguins live on a diet of small fish
- and crustaceans; however, Emperor penguins have been known to take larger
- fish and even squid.
-
- In captivity, penguins require some sort of cave-like shelter from the
- heat of the sun. They will use rocks for diving and for congregating.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.14.3] Compatible animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Penguins are among the most social of all birds. Penguin colonies, or
- rookeries, may contain thousands of individuals. Emperor penguins swim,
- feed and dive together, even at sea. The group offers its members
- protection against hunger and cold. In captivity, penguins are generally
- found in groups of 2 to 15.
-
- Emperor penguins have no predators on land, and so are fairly fearless
- around humans. The chief predator for adult penguins is the leopard
- seal. The giant petrel accounts for about a third of Emperor chick
- mortality.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.14.4] Animal behaviour
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- People enjoy watching the comical gait and head movements of penguins, as
- they awkwardly waddle about on land on their paddle-like feet. For
- Emperor penguins, a more efficient way to travel over the snow is to
- "toboggan" on their stomachs, using their flippers and feet for
- propulsion. In the water, these birds are adept swimmers and divers. Like
- dolphins, penguins leap out of the water every few feet in order to
- breathe.
-
- Emperor penguins communicate with calls and through a range of ritual
- displays, such as head and flipper waving, bowing, gesturing and
- preening. Aggressive postures like stares, pointing, and charging can
- occur in disputes over territory. A simple threat call is used to warn
- against predators.
-
- Emperor penguins rely upon their dense coat of overlapping feathers to
- protect them from the freezing temperatures of the Antarctic. Their
- survival depends upon keeping these feathers properly maintained. These
- birds will preen for several minutes in the water by rubbing their bodies
- with their flippers while twisting and turning over.
-
- When penguins are hungry, they will often start walking together in large
- groups. Penguins will huddle together to conserve heat. If a penguin is
- too warm, it holds it flippers away from its body, so both surfaces on
- the flippers are exposed to air, releasing heat.

- [7.15] Greater Flamingo
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.15.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The word flamingo comes from the Latin word for flame. Greater Flamingos
- are beautiful birds known for their distinctive pink plumage and their
- long graceful necks and legs. They reach an average height of four feet,
- making them one of the tallest birds in the world. They have good hearing
- and eyesight. In zoological settings, flamingos recognise their uniformed
- keepers among visitors.
-
- Flamingos use a unique filtration system for feeding. Their bills contain
- comb-like plates which can skim algae, seeds, insects and tiny shrimp from
- the water they live in. Their tongues act like pistons, sucking water into
- the beak and then forcing it out again so that the food remains trapped
- against the plates lining the beak. Flamingos can filter as many as 20
- beakfuls of water per second. In captivity, submerged food trays are used
- to accommodate flamingos' filter-feeding habits.
-
- The shrimp and algae consumed by the flamingo are rich in carotene, a
- bustance which is responsible for the bird's pink colour. In captivity,
- this pigment must be artificially introduced into the flamingo's food, or
- else the bird would be a dull duff colour.
-
- Greater flamingos have a life expectancy of about twenty years in the
- wild, but can live over forty years in captivity.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.15.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Greater Flamingos are found all over the world. Large populations live in
- Northwest India, the Middle East, the western Mediterranean, and Africa.
- Smaller flocks can be found scattered throughout northern Europe.
-
- These bird live on shallow lakes and coastal water. Soda lakes, salt
- lagoons and tidal mudflats are all appropriate habitats for flamingos.
- Flamingos are one of the only creatures designed to survive in the
- caustic environment of a volcanic lake. The foods they eat (shrimp, worms,
- blue-green algae, snails) can be found in water with a high concentration
- of saline or alkaline salt. Little shore vegetation grows in these areas,
- where only a few of the hardiest savannah grass can survive.
-
- Flamingos require lots of mud, as they use substance to create their
- large conical nests. Some flamingos are known to use the same nest year
- after year. The parents take turns incubating their egg, and must take
- care, after the chick hatches, that the baby bird does not fall off the
- nest into the caustic water.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.15.3] Compatible animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Flamingos are very social birds. In the wild, their flocks usually number
- in the thousands. In captivity, they are comfortable in groups of 2-20
- birds.
-
- The greater flamingo has very few predators because of the harsh habitat
- it prefers. It competes with no other animals for its food. Jackals and
- hyenas are potential predators of adult flamingos, although they are more
- likely to alarm the flock than to actually catch a flamingo. Eggs and
- chicks are prey for a number of birds, such as fish eagles and storks. The
- greatest threat to the flamingo is posed by the destruction of its
- habitat.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.15.4] Animal behaviour
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Flamingos spend most of the day feeding, preening, resting, and bathing.
- As water birds, preening is particularly important in order to disturber
- the oil which keeps their feathers waterproof. Flamingos are shy birds,
- and will often take flight at sudden movements or noises.

- [7.16] Thomson's Gazelle
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.16.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The Thomson's gazelle, or "tommy", is a small antelope found in central
- Africa.
-
- This species mainly congregates in the open grassy plains where there is
- abundant food and enough space to range freely. Large numbers of these
- animals migrate together following the rains. Once the grass in an area is
- exhausted, they move on.
-
- Tommies have a great number of predators and rely exclusively on flight
- to escape from danger. As a result, they are very good at fleeing; able
- to leap 10 feet into the air, bound 30 feet at a time, and turn much
- faster than a cheetah.
-
- These animals reproduce well in captivity.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.16.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The native habitat of the Thomson's gazelle is the wide savannah found in
- central and southern Africa. This region is noted for its wide swatches of
- tall grasses broken by the occasional stands of acacias and the large
- African baobab tree.
-
- The gazelle is an efficient grazing animal which can eat the shorter
- grasses other animals can't use. Ninety percent of its diet is made up of
- young, tender grasses and scrub. When grass is unavailable, these animals
- may also browse on low hanging branches and bushes.
-
- Because gazelles travel in large herds, they are most comfortable in close
- proximity to each other. As a result, small herds are able to exist
- contentedly in captivity in smaller habitats than one might expect.
- Gazelles prefer the open areas of the grassland where they can see any
- predators approaching heavy stands of trees will make them nervous.
- Although some gazelles can do without water, Thomson's gazelle require a
- dependable water source, as it needs to drink every one or two days.
-
- As with most animals in captivity, gazelles require a place in which they
- can escape from the hot sun or inclement weather. These are usually
- stables or wooden structures, with a protective overhang.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.16.3] Compatible animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Thomson's gazelle is one of three migratory animals that dominate the East
- African plains. This social species generally gather in loosely affiliated
- herds which can vary in size from 2 to 200 animals. During migration,
- herds can number in the thousands. In captivity, they are generally found
- in smaller groups of 2-20 individuals.
-
- Gazelles have an affinity for fellow migratory herd animals -- the plains
- zebra and the wildebeest -- as well as for the giraffe. Predators such as
- the lion and hyena will cause the gazelle herd to swiftly flee.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.16.4] Animal behaviour
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- To communicate, gazelles rely on visual displays and odours, rather than
- sound. As a result, they are quieter than other animals. Angry gazelles
- can be seen rearing up, bucking, and stamping their feet. As with other
- highly social animals, one angry gazelle can often upset the rest of the
- herd. A happy gazelle can be often be seen running and jumping around its
- habitat, or just lying contentedly in the sun.

- [7.17] Gemsbok
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.17.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Gemsboks are the largest of the straight-horned African antelopes. They
- are striking animals, with distinctive black striped marking their faces,
- throats and backs. Their horns are very long and straight. While the
- gemsbok is one of the slower gazelles, and will prefer make a stand, even
- against large predators, it can run faster than a swift horse when
- necessary.
-
- The gemsbok is an animal that is peculiarly adapted to deal with a dry,
- hot climate. Rather than cooling its body though perspiration when the
- air temperatures increases, the gemsbok's body temperature will rise as
- well. After several hours, the gemsbok's body will radiate this excess
- heat. Should their bodies reach too high a temperature, the gemsbok may
- cool off by panting. Its kidneys and circulatory system are also adapted
- for water conservation and hear regulation. Gemsbok have excellent
- eyesight, hearing and smell.
-
- Gemsboks are herbivores, grazing at night when plants have a higher water
- content. These animals supplement their diet with moisture-rich wild
- melons, roots and tubers. Experts at locating water sources, gemsboks
- will dig into dried river beds to expose hidden ground water.
-
- These animals reproduce well in captivity.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.17.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The gemsbok is found in arid regions ranging from eastern to south-western
- Africa. It can be found on dry plains, desert, open grassland, open
- savannah and duneland regions. It prefers semi-desert areas or hills with
- sparse vegetation and tree coverage. Gemsboks can endure temperatures
- ranging from 99 F to 113 F.
-
- In captivity, the gemsbok requires a stable-like structure to shield it
- from the elements.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.17.3] Compatible animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Gemsboks are social creatures which range in small herds of variable size.
- In captivity, they are usually kept in groups of 3-15 animals. These
- animals have a strict dominance hierarchy within the herd.
-
- Predators of the gemsbok include lions, spotted hyenas, leopards, and wild
- dogs. Gemsboks will defend themselves against their enemies, and can be
- dangerous prey. It is reported that their long, sharp horns can be
- successful even against a hungry lion.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.17.4] Animal behaviour
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- A gemsbok has two threatening postures; the head held up, with a slow
- ducking head motion; and head lowered, horn tips pointing at opponent.
- When nervous because of the proximity of predators, members of the herd
- may begin a exaggerated trot, with erect heads swinging from side to side.
- An angry gemsbok will stamp its feet and jerk its head.
-
- Newborn gemsboks immediately hide themselves after birth. Their mothers
- will be cautious when visiting the calf to nurse it, and will move their
- offspring to a new location each morning. The calf and mother will not
- rejoin the herd for about six weeks.

- [7.18] Giraffe
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.18.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The word "giraffe" comes from the Arab word Xirapha (zee-RAF-ah), which
- means "the one that walks very fast". The Egyptians and Greeks believed
- that these creatures were a mixture of camels and leopards, and so called
- them "camerlopards".
-
- with its distinctive long neck, the giraffe is the tallest animal in the
- world. Giraffes feed on the leaves at the top of trees, and their long
- supple necks and 18-inch tongues allow them to reach up high to graze on
- the tender new growth. Giraffes get hungry fairly often and so need to
- eat frequently, consuming about 75 pounds of leaves in a day. If
- necessary, they can go without water for weeks, as they derive much of
- the moisture they need from their diet. In captivity, giraffes eat
- alfalfa, hay, and dry food.
-
- The giraffe's extreme height, coupled with its keen eyesight, allows
- this animal to spy predators from a great distance. The giraffe's hide,
- with its unique pattern of dark brown spots upon a tan background,
- provides it with excellent camouflage against the savannah plain. An
- individual giraffe's markings are as unique as a fingerprint.
-
- Giraffes tend to reproduce infrequently in captivity.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.18.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Giraffes dwell on the African savannah south of the Sahara. They are
- generally found in wooded grassland areas which contain the occasional
- stretches of dirt and sand common to this region. These animals enjoy
- munching on a variety of foliage -- their diet includes about 100 species
- of trees and shrubs. One of the giraffe's primary sources of food is
- acacia trees, so a plentiful supply of these is particularly important.
-
- Giraffes are large creatures and voracious eaters, and will tend to dirty
- their habitat fairly frequently.
-
- Zoos generally provide special houses for their giraffes to use at night
- and during inclement weather.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.18.3] Compatible animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The giraffe is a sociable animal. In the wild, they live in small, loose
- herds which can range from 2-50 individuals. In captivity, they are
- usually found in groups of 2-10.
- A typical herd might consist of a one bull with females and young. Bulls
- may also be found ranging alone or in pairs. Herds are very loosely
- structured for a variety of reasons; giraffes derive little safety benefit
- from close congregation; their height and keen eyesight allow them to
- maintain visual contact with their herd at a distance of up to half a
- mile; and the grazing habits of giraffes require that they be able to move
- independently from tree to tree. In fact, giraffes rarely cluster together
- unless they happen to be munching on the same tree or are nervous over the
- presence of lions.
-
- Adult giraffes are generally too big to fall prey to the predators of
- Africa, although they are vulnerable to lions when lying down or drinking.
- The adult giraffe is a risky prey, however, as a well-placed kick can kill
- a lion. Calves are frequently preys upon by lions, hyenas, leopards and
- African wild dogs. A mother will defend her calf by standing over it and
- kicking at attackers with front or hind feet. Even so, a first year calf
- mortality is about 58%.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.18.4] Animal behaviour
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- While generally quiet creatures, giraffes are not mute. Calves will bleat
- and make a mewing call, cows will bellow to their calves and bulls may
- make coughing sounds during the rutting season. When upset, giraffes may
- grunt or snort. Unhappy giraffes will also run or gallop about, and lower
- their heads into an almost horizontal position. Giraffes can run up to 35
- mph.
-
- An alarmed giraffe will stretch its head to its highest position. An angry
- or nervous individual will affect the other giraffes in its herd.
-
- When lowering its head to drink or graze on low-growing foliage, a giraffe
- must spread its forelegs widely and well to the front or bend at the
- knees. Giraffes usually sleep standing up but do lie down occasionally.
-
- Calves enjoy playing and will race around their mothers and gambol with
- other calves. Older calves may playfully spar with each other.

- [7.18] Gray Wolf
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.19.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- As the largest member of the dog family, a Gray wolf will weight anywhere
- from 70 to 115 pounds and is bigger than the average German shepherd. The
- coat of the Gray wolf can actually range in colour from pure white to coal
- black. All dogs are descended from Middle Eastern wolves tamed around
- 12,000 years ago.
-
- A wolf has a finely developed sense of hearing, and is able to hear other
- wolves howling at a distance of many miles. It also has a keen sense of
- smell, and is capable of detecting prey more than a mile away. Wolves are
- carnivores, and will normally hunt as a pack, bringing down large animals
- such as elk and deer. Their diet will also include smaller animals, such
- as beavers, rabbits and even field mices.
-
- Today, wolves are endangered. The loss of wolves in the wild have led to
- the overpopulation of certain species. Wolves can help to keep a prey
- population rebust by eliminating the old, sick and weak animals.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.19.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Throughout the world, the Gray wolf has populations in the United Stated,
- Canada, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Russia. Although Gray wolves
- were once numerous across the North American continent, today they are
- found primarily in regions of northern Canada and parts of Mexico. There
- are fewer 2,500 wolves in the continental United States. These are mostly
- in the forested areas of Northern Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
-
- Wolves prefer heavily forested areas, but can also be found in desert,
- plains, and tundra regions. In captivity, their habitats are generally a
- combination of forest and grassy areas.
-
- In their natural setting, wolves need a lot of space. The hunting
- territory of a Gray wolf may range between 50 and 1,000 square miles,
- depending on food availability. Wolves sometimes travel 30 miles in a
- single day. Because wolves need wildlang territory and an abundant food
- supply, the loss of its habitat has become a leading threat to their
- survival in the wild. Wolves have specific habitat requirements, and
- will be unhappy if those requirements are not met in captivity.
-
- Wolves live in dens in the wild, and need to be provided with a cave-like
- structure when in captivity.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.19.3] Compatible animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Wolves are social animals. They live in packs, which usually consist of a
- set of parents, their offspring, and other non-breeding adults. The wolf's
- social system is strictly ordered within each pack, there is a male and
- a female hierarchy. The highest-ranking male is referred to as the alpha
- male, and the top female is the alpha female. Wolves have been known to
- mate for life.
-
- In the wild, wolf packs can range in size from 8 to 35 animals. In
- captivity, wolves are usually kept in groups of 4-20.
-
- Gray wolves will hunt large animals such as Moses and deers. However,
- Gray wolves are more successful taking the old, weak, or injured animals.
- In addition, Gray wolves will also eat beavers and other smaller
- animals. Wolves in the wild are afraid of humans and generally avoid
- contact with them. There are no documented instances of healthy wolves
- attacking humans in North America.
-
- The loss of habitat, reduction in prey species, and illegal hunting,
- trapping and poisoning pose the biggest threats to the wolf's survival.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.19.4] Animal behaviour
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Wolves are highly intelligent and communicate with each other by scent
- marking, vocalisations, and facial and body language. Howling helps them
- keep track of each other, establish territories, assemble the pack, and
- defend a kill. They may also sometimes howl just for enjoyment. On a calm
- night, howls can be heard from as far as 120 miles away.
-
- Wolves run on their toes. This lengthens their legs, making it possible
- for them to run faster and turn more quickly.
-
- When angry, wolves will shake their heads, growl, and run about their
- habitat. They may also bark and howl in frustration.

- [7.21] Hippopotamus
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.21.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- "Hippopotamus" is the Greek word for "river-horse", a name which aptly
- describes these large, semi-aquatic mammals. On land, this animal is
- second only to the elephant in size; and the size of its mouth is second
- only to that of the whale. Unique among land animals, the hippo can open
- its jaw a full 180 degrees, thereby creating its distinctive yawn.
-
- Hippos have skin which becomes easily dehydrated, and so spend most of
- their day wallowing in water. They are excellent swimmers, and are capable
- of remaining under water for up to five minutes. When partially submerged,
- only their eyes, ears and nostrils are visible.
-
- Hippos tend to reproduce infrequently in captivity.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.21.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Hippos can be found in the lakes, rivers, and swamps of sub-Saharan
- Africa. They are voracious grazers, and need large open areas of mixed
- grasses to supply their dietary needs. In their natural setting, these
- animals will typically range two or three miles during their nightly
- foraging, and so are more comfortable when placed in larger zoo habitats.
- Their sensitive skin requires that they submerge themselves beneath water
- for most of the sunlit hours. They also enjoy wallowing in muddy areas
- along the edge of the water. Hippos prefer solitary foraging, but will
- cluster closely together when in the water, so an ideal hippo habitat
- would have a greater proportion of land to water, with relatively few
- trees to interrupt the available grazing.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.21.3] Compatible animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Hippos are herd animals and, in captivity, are comfortable in groups of
- between two and ten individuals. Adult hippos are generally safe from most
- carnivores because of their size; however, immature hippopotamus can be
- vulnerable to aggressive predators such as lions, hyenas and crocodiles.
- Mother hippopotami are fiercely protective of their young, and have been
- known to snap an adult crocodile in two with their huge jaws. Hippos enjoy
- the company of their own kind during their daytime socialising, and prefer
- to be alone during their daytime foraging.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.21.4] Animal behaviour
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- During the daylight hours, hippos are generally seen sleeping and
- socialising in the water with the other members of their herd. When hippos
- become uneasy about something in their environment, they will stamp their
- feet, shake their heads and make honking noises. An angry hippo has a
- deep, reverberating roar which van be heard a great distance. Although
- generally slow movers, a hippo can gallop at a speed of up to 18 mph in an
- emergency.

- [7.22] Spotted Hyena
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.22.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- After the lion, the spotted hyena is the second largest carnivore in
- Africa. While these animals will scavenge food whenever possible, even
- daring to steal kills from other carnivores, they are also efficient pack
- hunters. able to take down adult wildebeests and zebras. Hyenas have
- wonderfully efficient digestive systems which are capable of digesting
- the bones, horns and even teeths of their prey. In captivity, hyenas are
- supplied with a steady diet of meat and dry foods.
-
- Male and female hyenas possess reproductive organs which are similar in
- appearance, making it difficult to differentiate between the genders in
- this species.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.22.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The native habitat of the spotted hyena is the wide savannah found in
- central and southern Africa. This region is noted for its wide swatches of
- tall grasses broken by the occasional stands of acacias and the large
- African baobab tree. The hyena roams the open savannah, often resting in
- the shady dirt beneath the various trees. Hyenas prefer to drink every
- night, if water is available, but like many savannah animals, can do
- without if necessary. Waterholes provide an additional benefit in that
- they attract other animals upon which the hyena preys.
-
- As with most animals in captivity, hyenas require a cave-like structure in
- which they can escape from the hot sun or inclement weather. Captive
- hyenas strongly prefer settings resembling their own natural habitats.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.22.3] Compatible animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The hyena is a highly social animal which lives in matriarchal clans of
- 35-80 animals. In captivity, they are more commonly seen in groups of 3-15
- individuals.
-
- Hyenas have a contentious relationship with most other animals on the
- African savannah. Generally, the hyenas are either trying to steal their
- food or kill them. Lions and hyenas have a particular dislike for one
- another. Adult male lions will go out of their way to kill a hyena;
- perhaps because it is not uncommon for a pack of hyenas to chase away
- lions from a fresh kill.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.22.4] Animal behaviour
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Hyenas are among the noisiest of African mammals, with 11 different sounds
- and calls. Angry hyenas will emit a number of vocalisations, including a
- loud whoop and a high, cackling laugh. A loud hyena is often an angry one.

- [7.23] Ibex
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.23.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The alpine ibex is an extraordinarily nimble goat who lives high in the
- mountains of central Europe. The ibex's colouring changes from a brownish
- Gray in the summer to a dark, richer brown over the winter. Both males
- and females have heavy, gnarled, backward-curving horns, although the
- horns of the male are much larger. The male is also bearder.
-
- The ibex has keen senses of sight, hearing and smell. When alerted to
- danger, the ibex escapes by climbing up into the rocks to hide.
-
- Active during the day, the ibex will forage both at higher elevations, and
- in lower pastures where vegetation is more plentiful. During the winter,
- it moves down the mountain in search for food. Its diet includes grass,
- moss, flower, and the leaves and twigs of trees and small shrubs.
-
- Young ibex live with their mothers until they reach maturity, at which
- times the males strike off on their own.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.23.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The alpine ibex lives near the snow line in the Alps and other
- mountainous regions of central Europe, at elevations of 6,500-11,500 ft.
- Once hunted almost to extinction, this animal was saved by the Italian
- royal games preserves. It has now been reintroduced to much of its former
- range.
-
- Ibexes frequent a steep, rough, and rocky environment where few predators
- can safely venture. They usually remain high in the steep cliffs during
- the daytime, then descend to lower alpine meadows to feed during late
- afternoon and evening. In the summer, ibex need to drink every few days,
- so they prefer locations near permanent sources of water.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.23.3] Compatible animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The alpine ibex lives in herds consisting of adult females and their
- young. Males are usually solitary, coming together with the females only
- during the breeding season. In the wild, herd size is generally between
- 10-20 animals. In captivity, herd size is generally between 3-10 animals.
-
- The ibex is preyed upon by wolves, lynxes, bears, jackals, and foxes. The
- kids are also preyed upon by eagles.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.23.4] Animal behaviour
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- A swift and able climber, the alpine ibex leaps with ease among the crags
- and ledges of its habitat. This animals is an outstanding climber, and
- its ability to manoeuvre on steep, rocky cliffs forms its first line of
- defence against predators. When cornered, it will also defend itself with
- its large horns.
-
- A foraging ibex will often stand on its hind legs to reach leaves, twigs
- and tender shoots.
-
- During the breeding season, the male ibexes perform fight rituals to win
- mature females. The strongest males with the longest horns win the right
- to breed with the available females. In these battles for breeding rights,
- the male ibexes generally do not injure each other.
-
- In captivity, an angry ibex may trot or run agitatedly around its
- enclosure, bleating, jerking its head, and possibly bucking.

- [7.24] Red Kangaroo
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.24.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Red Kangaroos are the world's largest marsupial. Despite the name, not all
- red kangaroos are red. In the eastern part of their range, males are
- usually some shade of red, and females are blue-Gray; elsewhere, both
- sexes may be reddish brown. Male kangaroos are called "boomerang", female
- kangaroos are "blue fliers" and young are called "joeys".
-
- Kangaroos are so well-designed for hopping that they are unable to walk.
- They have large, powerful hind feet which cannot move independently of
- each other, and a tendon in their legs that behaves like a rubber band,
- conserving energy as they move. The faster they move, the less energy
- they use. Red kangaroos can hop as fast as 40 mph, making leaps as long as
- 20 feet. Kangaroos will run from danger, rather than fight, although they
- have a large claw attached to their hind leg which can make them quite
- dangerous at close quarters. The kangaroo's long and heavy tail provides
- balance and support.
-
- Kangaroos feed at night. On the wild, their diet consists of green grass,
- leaves and roots. They shallow their food whole, later regurgitating a cud
- and chewing it. Like other animals adapted to a dry climate, kangaroos can
- go for a long time without drinking, deriving most of their moisture from
- the plants they eat.
-
- Baby kangaroos are bean-sized when they are born. The tiny, hairless
- embryo makes its way across the mother's belly into the pouch, where it
- attaches itself to one of the four available teats. Once nursing begins,
- the teat will swell up so that the baby will remain attached. The joey
- will remain in the pouch for 5-6 months as it continues to mature. At the
- end of that period, it will be fully developed, and can emerge to explore.
- Over the next 2-3 months, the young kangaroo will gradually spend more and
- more time away from the pouch. Joeys are usually weaned around 1 year of
- age, but will remain close to the mother for another six months.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.24.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The red kangaroo is found primarily in the dry grasslands and plains of
- central Australia. The terrain in this region consists of savannah-like
- grasses interspersed with barren areas of dry dirt, sand and the
- occasional rock. Kangaroos prefer open areas, with a sparse scattering of
- native bushes and trees for shade. In captivity, a shelter such as lean-to
- can also meet this need. Kangaroos are semi-nomadic, and their movements
- are not restricted by most types of fencing. In the wild, this animal
- does not need continual access to fresh water, as long as green herbage
- is available for grazing.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.24.3] Compatible animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Red kangaroos congregate in loose and temporary social groupings, called
- mobs. While a mov can contain up to 100 animals, it usually consists of
- 10 or fewer animals. Although the makeup of a mob can vary, it will
- commonly contain a dominant male, several adult females and young of both
- sexes. Mothers and young can remain together for years. In captivity, due
- to their need for space, they are usually found in groups of 1-3.
-
- European Foxes and Wedgetailed Eagles prey on the very young. Dingoes prey
- on young and adult like. Kangaroos are considered pests, because of the
- damage they can do to crops, and are destroyed accordingly. Red kangaroos
- are also commercially hunted for skins and mear. This animal is on the
- list of threatened species maintained by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
- Service.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.24.4] Animal behaviour
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Red kangaroos are shy, alert creatures, docile expect when cornered. These
- animals are able to survive high temperatures by seeking shade and
- avoiding activity during the day. They regulate their body temperature by
- panting and by licking themselves. When necessary, they will dig for
- water.
-
- To warn other members of their mob of impending danger, such as a dingo
- attack, red kangaroos will thump on the ground. Hearing this warning,
- young kangaroos will jump back into their mothers' pouches. Male kangaroos
- will not fight to protect the members of their mob: in the event of an
- attack, the mob will scatter, relying on individual speed for defence.
- However, male kangaroos will fight each other for breeding rights. The two
- kangaroos will attempt to push each other off balance by jabbing or
- locking forearms. In some cases, they will lean back on their tails, and
- kick each other in the belly with their powerful hind feet.

- [7.26] Lion
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.26.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The lion is the largest African carnivore. The lionesses do most of the
- hunting while the male lions protect the pride from predators, including
- other lions.
-
- lions hunt both singly and in groups, although their success rate is much
- higher in groups. For every dozen attempts, they average one kill. Their
- diet varies by region but may include gazelles, zebras, and wildebeests.
- Lions will also scavenge from hyenas, cheetahs, and leopards. In
- captivity, they eat a steady diet of meat and dry foods.
-
- Lions reproduce very well in captivity.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.26.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The native habitat of the lion is the wide Savannah found in central and
- southern Africa. This region's wide swatches of tall grasses provide
- excellent coverage for lions on the funt, and the occasional tree provides
- shade for resting lions. Lions also enjoy lying in the shady dirt and sand
- around the various rock formations on the savannah. These large cats
- require a regular supply of drinking water, although otherwise they do not
- care for this element.
-
- As with most animals in captivity, lions require a cool place in which
- they can escape from the hot sun or inclement weather. These are usually
- cave-like structures.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.26.3] Compatible animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Unlike other large cats, lions are social in nature, living in prides of
- up to 40 animals, primarily females and cubs. In captivity, groups of 3-10
- are more common.
-
- Lions compete and sometimes prey on the other carnivores found on the
- savannah. They will sometimes kill and eat leopards and cheetahs. Lions
- and hyenas have a particular dislike for one another. Adult male lions
- will go out of way to kill a hyena.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.26.4] Animal behaviour
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The lion spends over twenty hours a day resting, usually in the shade of
- trees or rocks. However, the lion is a very athletic cat capable of
- impressively long and high leaps. They are also terrific climbers.
-
- When agitated, a lion will emit its legendary roar, which can be heard
- more than six miles away. Lions tend to get quite upset when there is not
- enough food available.

- [7.27] Markhor
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.27.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The Markhor is an endangered species of wild goar found in the rugged
- mountains of central Asia. Largest of the goats, this animal's most
- distinctive feature is a pair of thick, heavy, spiralling horns which
- have been known to exceed 5 feet in length. Males have long hair on the
- chin, throat, chest and shanks. Females are much smaller than males.
-
- The name Markhor is derived from the Persian words "mar", a snake, and
- "khor", eating. Despire the name, the Markhor is a herbivore, although it
- has been known to kill snakes.
-
- In the spring and summer, the Markhor mainly grazes on tussocks of grass.
- When these have dried up, it browses on leaves, twigs and acorns. The
- Markhor is an excellent climber -- not only can it clamber up some of the
- sleepest mountainsides in its alpine habitat, but it an also climb trees
- in search of food. The Markhor has been seen standing on the branch of an
- oak tree, 15-20 feet off the ground, calmly grazing on its leaves.
-
- Markhors are not the easiest animals to keep happy in captivity. Unhappy
- markhors are unlikely to reproduce. The gestation period for a Markhor is
- about five months.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.27.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The Markhor occupies arid cliffside habitats in sparsely wooded
- mountainous regions of Central Asia at altitudes ranging from 1,900 feet
- during winter and spring up to 11,500 feet in the summer. Its range
- stretches from southern Russia to the western Himalayas, wit populations
- found in Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikstan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and
- northern India. Within this range, Markhor herds are usually quite small
- and isolated from each other.
-
- Markhors are most comfortable in open, rocky alpine regions, with
- scattered stretches of dirt and grass, fallen boulders and the occasional
- tree.
-
- The Markhor avoids deep snow and higher altitudes as its coat does not
- have the thick underfur which would allow it to tolerate extreme cold.
-
- The Markhor is a creature which prefers its natural habitat, and it tends
- to be unhappy if placed in an setting which does not meet its
- requirements.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.27.3] Compatible animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The Markhor population had steadily declined in recent decaded, due
- primarily to intensive hunting. The Markhor is one of the most
- sough-after of hunting trophies. In addition, the field of Adian medicine
- provides a profitable market for Markhor horns. Other humans threats to
- the Markhor include the disturbance and loss if habitat due to human
- settlement, and competition from domestic livestock. In 1996, the Markhor
- was declared endangered.
-
- As a result, Markhor herds are generally quite small in size, averaging
- about 9 animals in the wild. In captivity, they are usually seen in
- groups of 2-7. A herd consist primarily of adult females and young, with
- one or more adult males.
-
- The markhor's primary predators, apart from humans, are wolves, leopards
- and snow leopards. For the snow leopard, the Markhor represents a major
- food source.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.27.4] Animal behaviour
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The Markhor spends most of its time eating, generally in the mornings,
- late afternoons and evenings. It tends to rest and chew its cud during the
- middle of the day. Throughout the summer months, the Markhor mostly
- grazes on grass. In the winter, it forages for acorns, leaves, and other
- foliage. Markhors will stand on their hind legs in order to reach high
- vegetation, and will even climb tress.
-
- During the rut, males fight for breeding rights. These competitions
- involve lunging and locking the horns, followed by twisting and pushing
- movements which attempt to force its opponent off balance. An angry or
- agitated Markhor will run or trot around its enclosure, bucking and
- rearing in displeasure. The markhor's alarm call is a nasal "a",
- resembling the sound made by the common domestic goat.

- [7.28] Moose
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.28.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The majestic moose is the largest member of the deer family, measuring
- up to 7.5 feet in height. Male moose (bulls) are much larger than female
- moose (cows); a large bull can weigh up to twice as much as a typical
- cow. During most of the year, the bull is distinguished by a magnificent
- set of antlers, with an average spread of 4-5 feet and with as many as 30
- tines, or spikes. The shape of these antlers is unique to the individual.
- Mature males shed their antlers once a year in the winter and replace them
- with larger ones. Moose range in colour form brown to dusty black
- depending on the time of year and the animal's age. Other characteristics
- of the moose include large muscular shoulders, a "bell" or dewlap of skin
- under the chin, a drooping nose, long legs and a small tail. Mooses have
- poor vision, which is compensated for by acute hearing and smell. They
- are swift runners, reaching speeds of up to 35 miles an hour. They are
- also excellent swimmers, and can dive a considerable depth, having
- valvular nostrils which seal upon submergence.
-
- Mooses enjoy munching on a wise variety of foliage, with a particular
- fondness for willow. They also frequently browse on aquatic plants
- growing in swampy areas, lakes and ponds. And adult moose consumes an
- average of 44 pounds of plants a day, but will eat more in spring and
- autumn. In the autumn, they can consume as much as 130 pounds of food a
- day.
-
- Mooses reproduce well, and can quickly fill their habitat to capacity if
- they are not limited by perdition and hard winters. When food supplies are
- abundant, cows will frequently give birth to twins, or even triplets.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.28.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Mooses are a very hardy and adaptable species, wintering successfully in
- some of the coldest regions of the world. Mooses can be found in the
- northern forests of North America, Europe, and Russia. There is some
- confusion surrounding this animal's name: whereas a moose is always a
- moose, an elk in Europe is also a moose, and an elk in America is a
- different species known in Europe as a red deer, or wapiti.
-
- Mooses live in temperate regions where there is snow cover in winter and
- where the average summer temperature does not much exceed sixty degrees.
- In the wild, mooses occupy a wide variety of different habitats, ranging
- from densely forested areas, to the swampy areas around bogs and streams,
- to relatively open forest-tundra regions. A typical moose habitat might be
- a forested area which contains a water source and an abundant array of
- plant life. Their favorite tree is the willow tree.
-
- Mooses are solitary creatures who do not like crowding. As an result,
- their preference of for larger habitats. A lean-to will provide this
- animal with adequate shelter against inclement weather.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.28.3] Compatible animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Mooses are solitary animals, expect during the rutting season. The
- strongest social bond is between mother and young. In captivity, mooses
- are generally kept in groups no larger than three.
-
- A healthy adult moose has little to feat from most predators, for few
- animals are able to kill it. The two main predators of mooses are bears
- and wolves. black bears will prey on calves, and grizzly bears will attack
- adult mooses. Wolves will take on the sicker, weaker animals; however,
- there are documented accounts of adult mooses successfully fending off
- entire packs of wolves. Many more mooses fall to humans, as these animals
- are a favorite target for big game hunters.
-
- The primary limiting factor of mooses population is habitat. A harsh
- winter will greatly increase moose mortality during these months. As well
- as restricting available food sources, deep snow leaves mooses more
- vulnerable to wolf predation.
-
- One of the most serious threats to mooses comes from a suprising source -
- the white-tailed deer. These deers carry an illness which can be fatal
- to mooses, known as "moose disease."
-
- Other causes of mooses mortality include competition for forage with
- other animals, and collisions with vehicles.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.28.4] Animal behaviour
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Mooses are retiring animals and generally avoid human contact. However,
- these animals can be unpredictable and dangerous under certain conditions.
- For instance, cows with calves and rutting bulls have been known to charge
- people, cars, horses and even locomotives.
-
- In the spring, last year's offspring, a close companion of its mother
- throughout the winter, will be driven off by the cow as she prepares to
- hive birth again.
-
- Mooses are most active at dawn and dusk during the summer months. Several
- may gather near streams and lakes to feed. To escape black flies, mooses
- will submerge their bodies in water, or roll in a wallow to acquire a
- protective coating of mud.
-
- During the fall rut, bulls compete for mates by bringing their antlers
- together and shoving. Occasionally this process can cause fatal wounds in
- one or both of the contestants. generally quite creatures, both sexes give
- out a cow-like moo during the breeding season. The bull has a shorter,
- louder bellow which rises at the end, and the cow has a call which ends in
- a cough (moo-agh). Mooses courtship is elaborate, consisting not only of
- battles between competing males and vocalisations between the sexes, but
- also of visual displays and subtle chemical signals.
-
- When a moose runs, it lifts each leg straight up, which allow to animal
- to easily free its legs from the mud at the bottom of a stream or lake,
- or from wet or icy snow.

-
- The polar bear is the great wanderer of the north. It will roam hundreds
- of miles across the arctic wastes in search of food.
-
- In the wild, polar bears are constantly on the hunt. Seals are their main
- prey. Their technique relies more on stealth than on agility. A favorite
- gunting method is to lie in wait at a seal's breathing hole. Once the seal
- surfaces, the polar bear strikes.
-
- In captivity, polar bears consume a steady diet of fish and sundry dried
- foods. They are often hungry and can eat large quantities at a single
- sitting.

- [7.32] Siberian Tiger
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.32.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Siberian tigers are the largest members of the tiger family, just as
- tigers are the largest members of the cat family. Siberian tigers differ
- from other tigers in length of their coats, the brownish colour and lower
- density of their striped, and the face that heir coats become lighter,
- sometimes almost white, during the winter months.
- This coat is thick and shaggy, with the longer hair surrounding the male's
- fave forming a cuff. A tiger's striped are similar to a human thumbprint;
- there are no two tigers with exactly the same stripe pattern. Loose skin
- over the tiger's belly reduces the chance of injury from kicking prey. The
- tiger has round pupils and yellow irises. The night vision for these cats
- is six times greater than that of humans.
-
- A Siberian tiger will ear just about anything it can catch, including wild
- boars, deers, elks, lynx, bears, badgers, and hares. It will also catch
- salmon and other fish. Usually, only one out of ten hunting trips is
- successful. To sustain itself in its cold habitat, this animals need to
- eat over 20 pounds of meat a day. It is capable of eating 70 pounds of
- meat in a single night.
-
- In captivity, Siberian tigers eat a steady diet of enriched horsemeat,
- bones and dry foods. Tigers become quite upset (and loud) when they do
- not receive an adequate supply of food.
-
- tigers reproduce well in captivity.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.32.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Siberian tigers live in Siberia, northern China and Manchuria. Most of
- them can be found in snow-covered evergreen and deciduous mountain
- forests, up to elevations of 3,000 feet. They prefer rocky slopes, near
- rivers. A tiger's habitat will also include some grassy areas, since it
- preys mainly on herbivores.
-
- tigers are territorial, requiring a large home range, between 500-620
- square miles. In captivity, these animals need lots of space.
-
- tigers require a place to escape the crowds and retreat during inclement
- weather. These are usually cool, cave-like structures.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.32.3] Compatible animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The Siberian tiger is a solitary animal, only coming together with other
- tigers during the spring mating season. Mother tigers will generally
- associate inly with their young.
-
- Tigers have no relationship with other animals, expect as a source of
- food. the only enemy of the Siberian tiger is man. The tiger has become
- endangered through hunting and the destruction of it habitat. Today, there
- may be as many Siberian tigers in captivity as there are free. It is
- estimated that there are only between 150 and 430 Siberian tigers still
- living in the wild.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.32.4] Animal behaviour
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Tigers are excellent swimmers. They will often escape the heat of the day
- by lying in pools of water. They may also rest in long grass or rocky
- caves.
-
- Tigers have a variety of calls ranging from a "whoof" to a full-throated
- roar.
- A tiger roar can be heard over a mile away. In captivity, when tigers are
- distressed, they will roar and race around their habitat.
-
- Tigers depend on their sight and hearing more than on their sense of smell
- to locate prey. They hunt as night, stalking slowly and stealthily through
- dense cover until close enough to spring. They kill their prey by using
- their canines to bite the throat or neck. Siberian tigers will then hide
- their kill, and are capable of dragging a weight that a dozen men would
- have difficulty moving.
-
- although these tigers do not have the stamina for long, swift runs, they
- are capable of covering huge distances. One Siberian tiger travelled 620
- miles in 22 days in search of food.

- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.34.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The male Bengal tier can get up to ten feet long, from the end of its tail
- to its head, with a shoulder width of up to 3 feet, and can weigh up to
- 575 pounds. Though very large, the Bengal tiger is not the largest tiger.
- Its cousin, the Siberian tiger, is the world's largest cat.
- When a Bengal tiger roars, you can hear it almost two miles away.
-
- The Bengal tiger's stiff whiskers enable it to move through thick cover
- in the dark. If the whiskers fit, the whole body can follow. These tigers
- have white ears spots which may help mothers and cubs to keep track of
- each other when travelling through the dim tropical forests. Tigers will
- take advantage of human-made trails and roads.
-
- Tigers reproduce well in captivity.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.34.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- In the wild, Bengal tigers make their home in the tropical jungles and
- tall grasslands of Bangladesh, Nepal, India, Bhutan, and Burman. They
- prefer areas with dense thickets, long grass and shrubs along river banks.
- These tigers will often be found in areas around old ruins, which provide
- shelter for cubs. In captivity, rock caves will meet this need.
-
- Bengal tigers are solitary and do not like to share their hunting grounds.
- Male hunting ranges are about 20 square miles, females require about 17
- square miles. In captivity, these animals prefer larger habitats.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.34.3] Compatible animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Bengal tigers are solitary animals. The male and female only come together
- during the mating season, when sharing a kill, or when sharing the same
- watering hole. Tiger litters range from 1-6 cubs, which stay with their
- mother until their second year. In captivity, tigers are usually kept in
- groups of 2-3 animals. Other than as prey, they have no relationship with
- other species, and do not like to share their habitat.
-
- In the wild, Bengal tigers prey on wild oxen (guar), buffaloes, wild
- boars,deers and monkeys. Although a Bengal tiger is capable of killing a
- bull guar more than twice its size, it prefers to attack younger or older
- animals that are easier to take down.
-
- The tiger's principal enemy is man. Tigers are hunted for sport, for fur,
- and for use in traditional Chinese medicine. Tigers may also be attacked
- by hyenas, leopard, pythons and even other tigers. It is estimated that
- there are less than 3,000 Bengal tigers left in the wild.
-
- Ten years ago, there were eight sub-species of tiger, and now there are
- only five. The other four sub-species of tiger other than the Bengal are
- Siberian, South China, Indochinese, and Sumatran. All tigers are
- considered endangered.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.34.4] Animal behaviour

-
- Although not very good at climbing, the Bengal tiger is a good swimmer and
- can commonly be seen wading in pools to cool off. They are slow runners,

- mostly at night.
-
- Bengal tigers are coracious eaters and eat 65 pounds of meat each night,
- or yearly equivalent of 30 buffaloes.
-
- In captivity, tigers lend to be lazy beasts, spending the majority of
- their time lounging in the sun. tigers tend to get loud when they are

- [7.35] African Warthog
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.35.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The African warthog is the only pig adapted for grazing on the African
- savannah, They get their name from the prominent warts on their faced. The
- warthog is slimmer than other hogs, with a level back and comparatively
- long limbs. They have scattered bristles, whiskers and a mana of long
- hair. Both the boar and the sow have tusks, although the tusks on the boar
- are longer and much more prominent. The eyes of this animal are located
- high on their faced, enabling them to spy predators from quite a distance.
-
- During the wet season, warthogs graze on the long grasses in the savannah.
- In the dry season, they use their tusks and snouts to dig up underground
- bulbs and tubers. These animals have an unparalleled ability to locate
- tasty tidbits beneath the soil. They will also eat fallen fruit, and
- occasionally, carrion. In captivity, they are fed a diet which may include
- such foods as carrots, sweet potatoes, endive lettuce, broccoli, bananas,
- apples, and a grain mix.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.35.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The native habitat of the warthog is the wide savannah found in central
- and southern Africa. The warthog thrives in fertile areas with a mix of
- good grass cover and dirt, and containing lots of edible roots and bulbs.
- Warthogs prefer the wide-open spaced of the savannah to the tree-lined
- borders, and use burrows to escape when danger threatens.
-
- The weathgos relies upon a dependable water source, needing to drink
- daily. in hot, dry weather, they frequently wallow in mudholes to cool
- off.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.35.3] Compatible animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Like all pig species, warthogs are very social animals. They are most
- commonly found in a small family groups, called sounders, consisting of
- one or more adult females and young. Single adult males will sometimes
- join these sounders. In captivity, warthogs can be found on groups of 2-6
- individuals.
-
- In the wild, warthogs coexist in the same area as aardvarks, whose
- abandoned holes they use for burrows.
- Apart from predators, they are indifferent to most other savannah animals,
- going about their business in relative peace.
-
- Warthogs are the prey of many African carnivores, including spotted
- hyenas, wild dogs, cheetahs, lions, leopards, and eagles. When threatened,
- warthogs will retreat to their burrows if possible. However, in a fight,
- warthogs are able to defend themselves, using their lower canine teeth to
- great advantage.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.35.4] Animal behaviour
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Warthogs use burrows for sleeping, shelter from predators and protection
- from the sun. Although quite good at digging themselves, warthogs use
- holes excavated by aardvarks for their burrows. When entering, the hogs
- back in, which enabled them to use their tusks against invaders. in the
- morning, they burst out of their burrow at high speed to try and avoid any
- predators which may be lying in wait.
-
- Warthogs have a top speed of 34 mph. Generally, they prefer to trot with
- their tails held straight up. Feeding warthogs will graze and root while
- resting on their knees. As social creatures, warthogs like to lie in
- contact with each other, and will engage in social grooming using their
- snouts and incisors.
-
- Warthogs have a symbiotic relationship with birds such as the yellow
- hornbill, which they allow to eat the parasites living on their bodies.
- Warthogs will also wallow intensively, covering their bodies with mud,
- both in an attempt to get rid of these bothersome parasites, and to cool
- themselves off in hot weather.
-
- Warthogs are beneficial to the land they live on, as their rooting churns
- up the soil and aerated it, aiding in future plant growth.

- [7.36] Common Wildebeest
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.36.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The common wildebeest is a large, beared antelope found on the savannah
- grasslands of Africa. It is a grazing animal, using its teeth to take
- large bites of the short green grass it favours. This preference for the
- shorter grasses allows the wildebeest to eat its fill even when grazing in
- close proximity to other species. In captivity, the wildebeest enjoys a
- steady diet of grasses and other greens.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.36.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The native habitat of the common wildebeest is the wide savannah found in
- central and southern Africa. This region contains wide swatches of tall
- grasses, interspersed with some dirt and sand, and broken by the
- occasional rock or stand of trees.
-
- Because wildebeests travel in large herds, they are most comfortable when
- in close proximity to each other. In captivity, this allows them to exist
- in smaller habitats than one might expect.
- Wildebeests prefer the open areas of the grassland where they can see any
- predator approaching. Heavy tree coverage will make them nervous.
- Wildebeests also require an available supply of drinking water.
-
- As with most animals in captivity, wildebeests need a place in which they
- can escape from the hot sun or inclement weather. These are usually
- stables or wooden structures with a protective overhang.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.36.3] Compatible animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The wildebeest migrated across the savannah in large herds. In captivity,
- they do best in smaller herds of 3-20 individuals.
-
- Wildebeests have an affinity for their fellow herd animals, such as the
- plains zebra, the Thomson's gazelle and even the giraffe.
-
- The wildebeest is the preferred prey of lions, although far more are
- killed by the spotted hyena. When threatened, the wildebeest will give a
- short alarm snort that alerts the herd to trouble. Other large predators
- and non-native animals will cause the wildebeest to become uncomfortable.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.36.4] Animal behaviour
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- An agitated wildebeest will make distinctive alarm calls while shaking
- its head, stamping its feat, and running around its habitat. One angry
- gazelle can quickly upset the rest of the herd. A happy wildebeest can be
- found placidly grazing, or lying contentedly in the sun.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [7.37] Plains Zebra
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.37.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Along with wildebeests and Thomson's gazelles, the plains zebra is one of
- three migratory animals that dominate the East African plains. Large
- numbers of herd animals travel together in an established pattern
- following the rains. Once the grass in an area is exhausted, they move on.
- The zebra will often go before their fellow herbivores, trampling and
- cropping the taller grasses for those following.
-
- Zebras reproduce well in captivity.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.37.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The native habitat of the plains zebra is the wide savannah found in
- central and southern Africa. This region is noted for its wide swathes of
- tall grasses, interspersed with areas of dirt and sand, and broken by the
- occasional stands of acacias and the large African baobab tree.
-
- Because zebras travel in large herds, they are most comfortable in close
- proximity to each other. Due to this preference, zebras in captivity can
- be comfortable in smaller habitats since they do not mind moderate
- crowding with their own kind. Zebras prefer the open areas of the
- grassland where they can see any predators approaching; stand of trees
- will make them nervous. Zebras require the presence of a dependable water
- source such as a waterhole, since these animals need to drink fairly
- often.
-
- As with most animals in captivity, zebras require as place in which they
- can escape from the hot sun or inclement weather. These are usually
- stables or wooden structures with a protective overhang.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.37.3] Compatible animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The plains zebra is a social animal. They are often found in herds of over
- 400 individuals in the wide-open spaces of the African savannah. In
- captivity, they are found in groups of 3-20 animals.
-
- Zebras have an affinity for other herd animals, such as Thomson's gazelle,
- the wildebeest and even the giraffe. Large predators, such as the lion and
- the hyena, will cause a zebra herd to flee. On rare occasions, a zebra
- stallion has been known to try and save a young zebra from these fearsome
- predators.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.37.4] Animal behaviour
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- An angry zebra looks and sounds very similar to a horse. It will buck and
- rear while making a distinct whistling noise.
- Because of their social nature, one angry zebra can quickly upset the rest
- of the herd. A happy zebra will often run and jump around its habitat, in
- addition to lying contentedly in the sun.

- [7.38] Lowland Gorilla
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.38.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Gorillas are the largest primates, weighing up to 400 pounds. There are
- three subspecies of gorillas; the western lowland gorilla, the eastern
- lowland gorilla, and the mountain gorilla. Of these three groups, the
- mountain gorilla is critically endangered, with only a few hundred
- individuals left in existence. The eastern lowland gorilla is in slightly
- better shape, with 3,000-8,000 individuals remaining, but is still
- endangered. Only a handful of these are found in captivity. The western
- lowland gorilla is the most numerous of the gorilla groups, but its
- survival is threatened.
-
- The eastern lowland gorilla is blacker in colour than the mountain
- gorilla, and has shorter hair, a longer face, and a broader chest than the
- western lowland gorilla. As in the other gorilla subspecies, the males
- develop silver backs as they mature.
-
- Gorillas are mostly vegetations. They love fruit, and will eat large
- quantities of it when it is available. They will also eat leaves, bark,
- ants and bamboo shoots. They use their long and powerful arms to strip off
- bark and leaves, but they will not eat all the leaves from a single plant.
- Instead, they will move on to forage elsewhere, allowing the vegetation to
- quickly regenerate behind them. The gorilla rarely drinks, as its diet
- contains most of the moisture it needs. In captivity, the gorilla's diet
- is similar to its diet in the wild. Gorillas require large quantities of
- food, with the adult males eating about 70 pounds daily.
-
- Gorillas are the smartest of the primates. They are capable of learning
- sign language to communicate words and simple sentences.
-
- The gorilla gives birth to a single offspring every four years. They
- reproduce very poorly in captivity.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.38.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The eastern lowland gorilla dwells in small pockets of tropical rainforest
- in the eastern part of the Congo. This gorilla prefers open-canopy forests
- which allows some light to reach the forest floor, and with abundant
- vegetation for munching.
-
- Young gorillas enjoy playing on the rocks of their forest habitat.
-
- The remaining natural habitat of the gorillas is being threatened by the
- encroachment of domestic grazing animals, such as sheep and cattle. The
- deforestation caused by increased agricultural activity is also reducing
- the available food supply.
-
- In general, gorillas tend to be unhappy in captivity.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.38.3] Compatible animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- A single silverback and a verying number of females and offspring make
- up a group of gorillas. Unlike some other primates, the group is held
- together by the bond between each female and the silverback, rather than
- by ties between the females. This is due to the face that most of the
- mature females in a group are not related to each other. When females
- reach maturity, they leave their family, often travelling long distances
- in order to join a lone male or a male with only a few females. When male
- gorillas reach maturity, they are generally driven from the group by the
- dominant male. This behaviour limits inbreeding among gorillas.
-
- In the wild, eastern lowland gorillas travel in groups of about 11
- individuals.
- In captivity, they are fairly rare, and generally found in groups no
- larger than 4. Gorillas get along well with other gorillas. Often several
- groups will have overlapping territory, and will feed alongside each other
- with no conflict.
-
- Other than the occasional leopard, the only predator of the gorilla is
- man. Natives hunt gorillas for food and visitors hunt them for sport.
- Collectors will often shoot shole groups of gorillas in order to capture
- the infants.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.38.4] Animal behaviour
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Lowland gorillas have an undeserved reputation for being ferocious. In
- reality, they are fairly gentle creatures which rarely fight among
- themselves or with other species. If the group is threatened, the
- silverback leader will perform a threat display by roaring and beating his
- chest. However, this behaviour is seldom followed through with an attack.
- Gorillas show moderate aggression or annoyance by starting at the
- transgressor with head down, eyebrows lowered, and lips pursed.
-
- Gorillas generally do not walk upright, expect when engaged in threat
- displays. Instead, they walk on all fours, using the knuckles on their
- hands instead of their palms. Each hand has four long fingers and an
- opposable thumb. Although ground-dwellers, lowland gorillas will climb
- trees, even the mature males.
-
- Although usually quite creatures, gorillas are capable of a large range of
- sounds including purrs, grumbles, humming, grunts, screams, laughs,
- growls, hoots, chuckles, and barks. Like humans, they use their eyes to
- gather basic information about a situation. They are very alert to
- suspicious or threatening movements. They also react swiftly to unusual
- noises; for example, gorillas will vanish suddenly from an area at the
- sound of human voices. Again like humans, their sense of smell is
- relatively weak and not used very much.
-
- When the group is on the move, infant gorillas will cling upside-down to
- the mother's chest, with only occasional support from her. When her
- offspring matures a bit, the mother will lift it onto her back where it
- can ride. As they get older, young gorillas spend a great deal of time at
- play.
-
- Although matual grooming is not as common among gorillas as it is in
- other primates, it is often practices between a mother and her child.
- Occasionally a female will groom the silverback. Immature gorillas will
- congregate around the silverback, grooming and sometimes being groomed
- in return. They will also groom each other.
-
- In captivity, gorillas tend to be prone to a variety of illnesses.

- [7.39] White Bengal Tiger
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.39.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- All known white tigers are descendants of a white Bengal tiger named
- "Mohan", captured in 1951 in India. The white coloration is the result of
- a double ressive gene. The white tigers are not albinos; they have
- chocolate striped and blue eyes, although several variations in eye and
- stripe colour have been seen. White Bengal tigers are extremely rare in
- the wild -- no sightings of white tigers have been reported in India since
- the capture of Mohan, and only about a dozen sightings were reported in
- the 50 years before that.
-
- The Bengal tiger is the only subspecies of tiger to carry the recessive
- gene for the white colour. Mohan was bred to a normally coloured Bengal
- tiger, then bred to one of his normally coloured daughters. This resulted
- in the first white tiger cubs bred in captivity.
-
- Due to the extreme popularity of the beautiful white tigers among zoo
- guests, and because these animals tolerate captivity very well, they have
- been part of an aggressive breeding program. Some conservationists find
- this disturbing, since some subspecies of tigers hover on the verge of
- extinction, and the white tiger is considered an aberrant Bengal tiger,
- rather than a valid subspecies of its own.
-
- Since white tigers have been bred indiscriminately with the other
- subspecies of tigers, particularly of Siberian, it is assumed that most of
- the white tigers in captivity today are hybrids.
-
- Many people assume that white tigers are Siberian tigers, possibly due to
- the sumption that their white colowing would be protective camouflage
- against the snowy Siberian landscape. Ironically, no white tigers have
- ever been reported in Russia, and their startk white colour would be a
- decided handicap in the jungles of India.
- __________________________________________________________________________

- areas around old ruins, which provide shelter for cubs. In captivity,
- rock caved will meet this need.
-
- Bengal tigers are solitary and do not like to share their hunting grounds.

- [7.42] Okapi
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.42.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The okapi, a shorter-necked relative of the giraffe, lives in the
- rainforests of Central Africa. Like its cousin, the male okapi has two
- small, skin-covered horns. The okapi stands 5-6 feet high. It has a
- striking appearance: a coat ranging from reddish-brown to almost black,
- with zebra-like stripes on its flanks and upper legs, white upper legs and
- a creamy face. The okapi's colouring provides it with excellent camouflage
- in the forest. Its ability to hide itself, its shy and solitary nature,
- its relative scarcity, its nocturnal habitat, its keen sense of smell and
- hearing, and its speed at making getaways -- all combine to make the okapi
- a difficult animal to study in the wild. This animal's existence was not
- even discovered by Europeans until 1901, making it the last large land
- animal to have been found. okapis are still rare in zoos.
-
- Living in the densest part of the forest, okapis are herbivores, feeding
- one grass, fruit, new growth, and leaves. The okapi's extremely long and
- sticky tongue not only enabled it to easily strip branches of leaves and
- twigs, but also allows it to thoroughly groom itself. They can even reach
- their eyes and ears using their tongues. The okapi's clean habitat are a
- big help to zookeepers -- when a okapi needs medication, the keeper will
- pour it over the animal's back, and the okapi will immediately lick it
- off. okapis are prone to parasitic infestation.
-
- An okapi mother bears a single calf, which is kept hidden for two weeks.
- Okapis are very difficult animals to breed in captivity.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.42.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Okapis are found in the tropical rainforests of the Democratic Republic of
- the Congo. In this country, there is an Okapi Wildlife Reserve, which
- occupies much of the Ituri Forest. About 5,000 of the estimated 30,000
- living okapis are throught to live here, protected by the government.
-
- Okapis are found in the densest parts of the rainforest at middle
- elevations. They tend to frequent river banks and stream beds.
-
- In a zoo setting, the shy okapi strongly prefers a habitat with generous
- tree coverage, few rocks and access to a water source. Some grass for
- grazing should be available. A lean-to can provide a refuge from large
- crowds, as well as sheltering the okapi from unpleasant weather.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.42.3] Compatible animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Okapis are solitary creatures. In the wild, okapi generally travel alone
- or in mother-offspring pairs. Adult okapis get together only to mate. In
- zoos, okapis are generally kept in male-female pairs, in the hope that
- they will reproduce.
-
- The okapi are prey for large hunting cats, such as leopards. An even
- bigger threat to the okapi is the one posed by human poaching and
- destruction of habitat.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.42.4] Animal behaviour
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Okapis are herbivore which spend most of their time eating or chewing
- their cuds. Social grooming and play behaviour seem to be common for both
- juveniles and adults. Whereas the okapi's cousin, the giraffe, is almost
- mute, the okapi has a cow-like call. Young okapis will bleat for their
- mothers, and females in heat will bellow to attract males.
-
- Newborn okapis will spend a day or so following their mothers. They will
- then find a hiding spot in which to make a nest. For the next two months,
- they will spend 80% of their time in this nest. By nursing relatively
- infrequently and not defecting during this period, the young okapi is less
- likely to be discovered by predators. A threatened calf will lie
- motionless in its nest, while its mother rushes aggressively to its
- defence.
-
- Okapis are difficult animals to keep happy in captivity, due to their shy
- and solitary nature. Angry or unhappy animals will pace agitatedly around
- their habitats while tossing their heads and pawing at the ground.

- [7.43] Giant Panda
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.43.1] General information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The giant panda is one of the rarest of all mammals, with probably fewer
- than 1000 left in the wild. They are non-social animals, coming together
- with their own kind only to mate.
-
- Pandas have poor digestive systems, and so must constantly brose in order
- to fill their nutritional needs. They spend up to eight hours a day
- muching on bamboo, their primary food. In the wild, a panda eats up to 26
- different plant species, although bamboo still accounts for more than 99%
- of the food eaten. In captivity, pandas exist on a steady diet of bamboo.
- With all this consumption, a panda's habitat will get dirty pretty
- quickly!
-
- pandas are poor breeders, and rarely reproduce in captivity.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.43.2] Exhibit information
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The giant panda lives in the highlands of Sichuan in Southwest China. The
- damp climate here supports dense stands of bamboo, the panda's primary
- food source. The landscape is varied, composed of forest floor broken by
- grass, Gray rock, and snow. This forbidding, inaccessible terrain also
- offers a defensive advantage for the panda.
-
- Their eating habits, combined with their need for solitude, make it quite
- important that pandas have adequate space. a cramped habitat will cause
- the animal great distress. A permanent source of drinking water is also
- necessary to the panda's comfort. Pandas have less tolerance for
- captivity than other animals.
-
- Pandas require a cave-like place in which they can escape from the hot sun
- or inclement weather. In addition to using caves for shelter, pandas
- generally enjoy climbing on rocks.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.43.3] Compatible animals
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- Expect during the spring mating season, pandas are generally solitary
- creatures. in captivity, they prefer to be alone, or to share their space
- with a single mate, at most. They are finicky animals and get very
- agitated when placed in the same habitat as other animals.
- __________________________________________________________________________
- [7.43.4] Animal behaviour
- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- A panda expends much of his energy eating. An agitated panda will often
- growl and swing its paw. A happy panda makes soft yipping noises and may
- even do a somersault.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [7.44] Zookeeper
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Zookeepers are staff members that provide care to the animals in the zoo.
- They clean and maintain the xhibits and are paid and maintain the exhibits
- and are paid on a monthy basis. Zookeepers can be assigned to a specific
- exhibit to specialize in the care for the animals in it or left to make
- their own decisions and perform their routine duties.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [7.45] Maintenance Worker
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Maintenance Workers are staff members that patrol the zoo for trash and
- debris left by guests. They also service the park trees, shrubs, and
- plants to ensure a clean healthy looking zoo.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [7.46] Tour Guide
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Tour Guides are staff members that walk from exhibit to exhibit and teach
- the guests about the animals and their natural habitats. They can be
- assigned to a specific exhibit or left to make their own decisions.

- [8] Hex-codes
- ==========================================================================
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [8.1] How to use the hex-codes
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- "What are the Hex-Codes and how do you go about using them?"
- -Michele
-
- I'm not going in-depth on this subject... Download Trainer Creation Kit
- and read the help-file in order to find out more. You can also download
- GameHack, which is a little easier to use, but also bigger.
-
- To find Trainer Creation Kit (and other tools on creating trainers), see
- paragraph [12.9]...
-
- Note: To understand hex-codes, you will need about 2 days reading
- tutorials. And after these 2 days, you should keep practicing. I now
- fully understand hex-codes, and it took me about 12 months or so (I must
- confirm I didn't do much with hex-codes within this period; the last
- month I began with hex-codes again :D). You also need lotsa patience;
- first to find the right hex-code, and second because it takes quite some
- time to calculate everything (at the moment I'm writing this, my PC is
- busy for about 10 minutes calculating everything and I'm on a AMD XP
- 1700+ Mhz system :p).

- [9] FAQ
- ==========================================================================
-
- This FAQ isn't finished... ever! When you have a (normal) question about
- the game, I'll place it here. When you know something I don't know, you
- can mail me and I'll place it in my guide somewhere.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [9.1] Guests aren't happy enough
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Question:
- "hi I read your thing on zoo tycoon so I thought u knowing a bit about it
- and all, u may wanna answer a question for me. I cant keep my guests happy
- ????? no matter what I try I cant get the rating to stay at 93%. ive done
- everything else for this scenario correct, ie the animals being happy n
- having babies and the zoo rating is good, I got the guest rating to 93%
- then it went down in the last month to 89% and I couldnt get it back up,
- no matter how many attractions, food stalls, restaurants, flowers,
- statues, benches etc I put in they still were not happy. im now at
- screaming point with this level PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME !!!!!!! I even
- bought the official stratergy guide but that just says add more food
- stalls n benches and beautify your zoo, tried it didnt work. Please
- reply soon before I break the disc in half. thanks elizabeth uk"
-
- Answer:
- Alrighty! So placing stands etc. won't help you out in that scenario?
- Well; how about the admission price? Try to lower it, so guests will like
- your park even more...
- Also check for every single animals if it's happy. One unhappy animal can
- lower your guest rating, so take care at that point.
- Another nice solution: try to search the reason why the guests aren't
- happy enough. Open a guest screen and look for it thoughts.
- You also told me the guest rating dropped to 89%, and you once got 93%...
- try to find out why the rating dropped; there must be a reason for that,
- don't you think?
-
- If this all doesn't work, the best solution is to break the disc in
- half; I agree with that one ;)
-
- Reply:
- "I saw my e-mail in the guide I sent u about the endangered species
- scenario. I completed the scenario, I found out the problem I had way
- to many guests in the zoo, I cheated and let the lions loose em, this
- reduced my guest numbers thus making my guests happy as the zoo wasnt
- crowded and the guests could eat and drink with relative ease ( no
- queueing ) . I then wacked up my admisssion price so no more guests
- would come in , I passed the level with a 97% guest happiness rate.

- [9.2] Closing the zoo
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Question:
- "hi the game I get but it really hard like I know all the things you
- have to do for the animals like their cages and the zoo keeper like
- but ummm its hard to get it out on words sorry but one thing I really
- would love to know is can you close your zoo so you can get everything
- ready the way you like and not get complaints from the guest and if so
- how can you do that cause well I don't know but thanx sorry bout my
- confussing note if you say"
-
- Answer:
- A brother of Elizabeth UK I guess (just kidding)? Anyway... to find out
- about the animals, you'll have to wait for the next version, because I'll
- tell you all! (I promise)
- It isn't possible to close your zoo :( The only think you can do it to
- pause the game. In the BETA-version, it's possible to build when the game
- is paused (I don't know about the TRIAL/Final version, please mail me if
- you know) etc., so that might help. If it doesn't work, you have a little
- problem, because there's no other way to close the zoo... (stupid
- Micro$oft).
