Prevent Animals From Dying Of Old Age

If you want your first animal to live longer, watch it carefuly. First click on animal status then look at the current activity. When it switches to "Dying of Old Age" crate the animal. Take the crate out of the habitat and keep it there for a few seconds. Place the crate back in the habitat and release it from it's crate. Your animal won't die when you let it out! Keep doing this when the current activity changes to "Dying of Old Age" and your animal will seem immortal!

---Was Tested On a Blacktip Reef Shark And Worked---


A Tip On Placing Habitats

When deciding where to place your habitats, try placing very popular animals (Orcas, for example) Near the back of your zoo. If you do that, and then place attractions (Like photo booths) food stands, gift shops, or anyplace where a guest can spend money on the path that leads to your Orcas, then on the way to the Orcas the guests may spend money on these places. Try it out with Orcas, Lions, or Tyrannosaurus Rexes.

Perfect African

First you must choose savanah zoo and then close your zoo ,after that put as many savanah animals as you can.If you want to feed the herbivore animals easy : put a gazzele and give the gazzele a hay and put the hay on a grass.Don't worry with your your carnivore animals if it hungry it will kill the herbivore and eat it ...oh I almost forgot if your animals thirsty just make a shallow water near them


Marine Animals Arluq

For the final challenge you need to raise Arluq's social need. I did this by training her in the marine show training area and was then able to release her without buying another orca!


Perfect African

Saving Money

You need to save money or you will lose the game because all the animals will die if they are not well fed. It has happened to me before I used all my money on the animals and they didn't have any food or water.


Quagga in zoo tycoon

2 get a quagga, you need 2 put a zebra & a ptrezwalskiz wild horse of the diffrent sex into a grassland place and with any luck you will get a quagga!


How to get more money on a tight budget

There are a few ways to get more money, here are the ones I :know:1: Delete ALL excess things(Trees,bushes, etc.)2: In Challenge Mode,below the picture of the zoo your going to make, you see how much money you have in that zoo, you can raise or lower the amount of money.Hope I helped. ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Smile)SmileSmileSmileSmile


Money Money Money

For extra money hold down the shift key while holding the number four.(It might work in other zoo tycoon games.) But you only get about $25 every 5 seconds.


More Money

When you buy a zoo in challenge or campaign game, there will be a lot of trees, rocks, and plants. Delete them all and you will become very rich--I'm talking thousands of dollars. This cheat really works. It helped me get a 5 star on challenge.

Hope this helped!
