my tips: dont place carnivores and plant eating animals in the same exhibit. guest get unhappy when lion start stalking the gazzeles and frightening them...or you lion might get huingry and eat it. :o

also whatever you do. tropical rainforest and tundra dont make good mixed exhibits!

for all our sakes,dont block the entrance for the zookeeeper to get in with water or an objecy,or you'll get some pretty unhappy animals.

Another what not to do is do not put free-roaming peafowls in a half made zoo (they will get pregnant and lay eggs on the side with nothing near it)

for javan rhinos, don't put the large concrete shelters back against the exibit wall, the rhinos somehow manage to climb out of the lil' window and escape!

Don't ever put aa food court in an exhibit once I did that in an elephant cage to make it look like a village and guest got mad because they cuodn't reach it so then I elevated it wth terain and the trash can where in the cage and people got stuck in the exhibt. :unsure: :doh: :lol:

Never save while the game is paused. I'm not sure if it's my computer but if I do that my game crashes an I have to turn my computer off. :huh:

Never ever put nile monitors in with komodo dragons in the same exhibit.
All the dragons ever do is chase the monitors everywhere and both speicies
get realy hungry and thirsty. :angry: :doh:

Never pu live food lizard in with a user made animal made before AA.
THey do nothing but stalk it and never attack it. They eventually complain because they are hungry and thirsty and its really annoying.

Never let Blacktips have access to any land, they jump out of the water and on land.Be careful, even in tanks they do this and I don't know the solution!

Never let Green Sea Turtles or Rockhoppers live with Sea Lions.The Sea Lions eat them!!

don't let them in with dolphins or orcsa either!!!they eat them too,i only have demo.

You mean the dolpihins eat the Rockhoppers and Turtles!!!Cool, I might try that...

Nothing yet, wait...

do not place people in a exhibit cuz the people well get killd and lave the zoo

That's obvious.

STILL NOTHING...

There is no reason to state that you have nothing to say. You can just say your comment and end your post.

Never create a big pack of wolves.Even if they are happy they will kill often each other.Once I had a pack of 7 and when I came back I only had 4 left!(6 or 7 if you include the babies)

Do not put more than 5 or 6 live food lizards in an exhibit, especially if you are just putting the animals in the exhibit. They will stalk the lizards untill they are all dead. And wil become very hungry, thristy, even tired.
Also, I'm not sure if this is true,[I assumed] but when all the lizards are dead and uneaten the animal will complain about the smell.
This is mainly will the Ratel and Secretary Bird as far as I know. And I'm sure others.

If you put t-rex and tricaratop's you have to whach the babys becaus the tricartop's will kill the baby rex and the rex's will kill the baby tricaratop's. ( they usully don't kill the older one or there the same speseas.)

Never build a big zoo with the game paused and unpause it when you have finished unles your computer is VERY GOOD.

About the Nile monitor/Komodo dragon issue, they can be together if you pay them A LOT OF ATENTION.

To add on. Never build a large zoo unless your computer is terrifcally amazing. Mines a pretty good computer. But ZT2 is it's enemy. It cannot stand too many animals or a large zoo. It slows down and eventually freezes. But that's what you ahve to risk for a good quality game.

Never put a meat-eating exbit under a exelvated path the guestes some how get of the path and in the exbit :mad: :blankstare: :dunce:

oK>for some of you NEVER put a galapagos tortiose in you zoo cuz the game will crash UNLESS u don't have that one buggy.

NEVER put a meerkat in with a baby aardvark, the meerkat will stalk it.

Yay, I'm so lucky I don't have a buggy tortoise!

Ive also never had issues with meerkats/Aardvaks. Meerkats and Rhinos on the other hand...

Never EVER keep a dino inside a weak enclosure. they break out and gore/eat everyone. the only exception is if you keep them in a ditch like i do...

Never put two male meat eating animals in the same exhibits.At some point they start to fight each other until one of them is killed

Really? The only ones ive had issues with were my wolves. Everything else was fine.

yes it once happened with my cheetehs :blink: :blink: and polar bears

Don't use pits or cliffs to contain animals. They'll run straight up the side and get out.

depends on the animal, ifind if you make a sunken exhibit with clifs around it aswell its fine for most animals, but pandas, gazzeles and a few others always get out.

Anything that can move fast can run right out.

I've had no problems...Usually i raise the land to make an exhibit and lower the land the animal will have to walk on a little so I can put low fencing. It's kept most animals, haven't tried on all but even polar bears like it.

Actually, they are MAN-eating, they only eat adult men. not girls, not women, and not boys.

Yah, in Zt and Zt2, the only guests that can get eaten are adult males.

One more

If u ahve a bazilosaurus (which u can get at zt volcano) don't put it on dry ground or in shallow water, they'll get sick and die, fast!

Well about the wolf thing. (it may be my computer) Only the Females attack each other, same with my E. Wolves. The wolves fight and one turns into a carcass!

Guests seem to get unhappy about the G. Sable Antelopes fight each other. (its play fighting I know).

Another thing that you shouldn't do is get the Masai females to breed with R. Giraffes, the babies never get nursed ehrn they are Masai. (this is a glitch and may not happen to everyone)

Females will do the same, it is not just males.

I put a galopagos tortiosie in MY zoo and nothing happened!! Everything was normal. BTW, I ALWAYS have my zoo on pause and create a BIG zoo then i unpause it, ITS FINE! :giggle: :lol:

Never put a rex anywhere but rainforest. It will get mad, sick, and just fall apart.

Ur lucky, this thing with the galapagos Tortiose happens to some people not everyone, and unfortenately, I'm one of those people who have the glitch.

So the game crashes EVERY time?

Only if you placw the g tortoise but i don't have that problem so I am happy

The tortises not working are already in a seprate topic. Click here for the topic.

There are numorous things to keep in players mind while playing the game. :blink:
I don't think I could remember all of them.

Never put a Giant Sable Antelope and a Meerkat (or UCAs from the meerkat) together! The GSA will just keep chasing it until they die from hunger and thirst.

It happens to me. :( :( :( :( :( :( :(
That's why I never use the tortoise.
Also, Never put a meerkat in a Scrub rail fenced exhibit next to another exhibit with the same type of fence. If you do so, the meerkat may get under the fence and dig it's way into the other exhibit. It gets even worse when you have a carnivore. It will stalk, chase, and try to kill the meerkat.

LOL my meerkat was just stalking a zebra. :blankstare:

NEVAR EVARmake a pit exhibit without a fence. Guests wil actually jump in and get eated. Oh and once a guest jumped into my penguin exhibit from the sky tram, an the penguin walked up to them, his status message saying "Going to interact with Joe Shmo" and then the guest just dissapeared!
