Zoo Tycoon Tips

If you ever wanted the chance to design and run your own zoo, then it is likely you have picked up the recent copy of the popular Zoo Tycoon 2. But if you are like most people, you will find the game can be difficult at times.

Here are a couple of Zoo Tycoon 2 hints and tricks to make your playtime more enjoyable.

Hints
When you are designing your exhibit, there are several things you should consider to help make it more enjoyable for your guests and animals, along with being easier on your wallet.

Water Bowls – There is no need to add them if you have a natural water, like a pond, in the exhibit.

Food – Do not place food down in your exhibit until it is necessary for the carnivore. If the animals are herbivores, they will only need branches added every so often.

Animal Happiness – Make sure to have a secluded spot in the exhibit for the animals. The last thing they want is to be stared at all day and not have a retreat.
