Cheat Codes:

Free trees and other stuff:
---------------------------
When you are in any zoo mode (campaign, challenge, and freeform) most zoos should
have already existing trees(and occasionally things like flower beds, benches, etc.)
at the start. All you have to do is left click the item you want and move it to where
you want it.This saves money when you are on a tight budget and is really easy.
Secrets:
--------
Run in Zoo Guest Mode and Photo Safari Mode: Since left-clicking the mouse makes you
walk in Zoo Guest and Photo Safari Mode, and so does W or Up, you can walk twice as
fast (aka run) by holding two of these.
Cheat:
------
Submitted by: CzarnyKot
Hold [SHIFT]+[W]+[UP] for ULTRA FAST RUN
Walk faster:
------------
While in Zoo Guest mode, hold [Cursor Forward] + Left Mouse Button to walk faster (run).
Alternately, press [Up] + W in Zoo Guest mode.
To run even faster in Zoo Guest or Zookeeper mode, hold [Shift] + [Forward] (or W) + Left
Mouse Button.
More starting money in challenge mode:
--------------------------------------
In challenge mode, put the pointer over the "Up" button hat increases your money, but
do not click on it. Press the [Up] key on the keyboard to increase your money twice as
fast.
Africa:
-------
Put a fence around the entrance to the zoo so that the entire zoo qualifies as a cage.
Then, cover the whole zoo in savana grass and add plants and lakes. Place some animals
then walk around as a zoo keeper/guest. To do this faster, do not get staff, food/water
dishes or shelters. It will look unnatural. If you put gazelles in a pack, only put about
two to six of them or some might ditch the pack. If you encounter across a dirty animal,
wash it or all the animals will get sick and die. Note: Plant eaters will get eaten.
Monkey meat:
------------
Make a small pen. Put meat eating animals in it and put a vulnerable herbivore in it.
Eventually a carnivore will kill it and the herbivore will become a carcass of meat.
Babies:
-------
You do not need two animals to have a baby. Just adopt a female animal and wait for about
a month. Then, adopt a male of the same species and place him in with the female. Do not
do anything from the time that you adopt him until the female gets pregnant. When she does,
select "Undo". That will undo
the adoption of the male and your female will still be pregnant.

Make water deeper:
------------------
Choose the "Deep Water" tool, and use it as you normally would. Then, select the "Ditch"
tool and use in the deep water you just created.
Successful freeform zoo:
------------------------
Close your zoo when you first begin a new zoo so that no guests are unhappy while you are
building it. First, put in two food stands, two drink stands, dessert stands, one restaurant,
and one zoo exhibit before opening your zoo again. Guests also like donation boxes. Make sure
three of your four walls are made with the hill device in the "Landscaping" section. The other
wall should be made with a fence so that guests can see the animals. Set all of your prices
low, including the admission price. Do not forget benches, restrooms, and ATMs.
For entertainment, add photo souvenir stands, arches, playgrounds (make an area out of sand
path and put your playground equipment on top), fountains and statues. Also put in picnic
tables and gift shops. With any extra money, crate playgrounds or peacock exhibits with one
male peacock. They are more beautiful and will amuse guests.
Note: Make sure to fully close exhibits with natural walls. Sometimes animals can squeeze out
and chase guests. Double-check the exhibits with big cats, grizzly bears, and elephants.
Hint:

Submitted by: webkinz1996
If you want to have a herd of horses or a pack of wolves or a pride of lions make sure you
have about 2 to 5 horses in an exibit. And 2 to 5 wolves, and 3 ot 9 lions. If you put more
than that some of them will ditch the group.
Swim:
-----
To go underwater go to zoo guest mode, go to a lake or deep water and face it (so you are
looking at it) and click the mouse to go down, then you can actually go under water.
Extra Babies:
-------------
Ok, if you have a pregnate animal after it gives birth put the baby up for adoption after a
while the mother will get pregnate again. MAKE SURE YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING ELSE THAT CAN BE
UNDONE IN THE TIME PERIOD BETWEEN THE ADOPTION AND THE MOTHER GETTING PREGNATE AGAIN.
NOTE: this doesn't work with twins.
Cavemen in iceburgs (it will take a while to melt):
---------------------------------------------------
If you have Z.T 2 Extinct animals then buy an iceburg(Buy an alpine animal or a sabre tooth
tiger and its on animal enrichment) and if you are lucky, then there will be a caveman
inside. It will act like any other guest!
- DONT sell the iceburg or the caveman will disappear.
Unlockable - Animals:

More money:
-----------
When you start a game or start a scenario there will be a lot of trees. get rid of all of them
then you have money...
Prehistorica:
-------------
Name the first person to come in your Zoo "DinoMan" and go to the animal adoption section. You
will see a number of prehistoric creatures such as Dinosaurs, Pterasaurs, and Plesiasaurs.
Safari:
-------
Put a cage around the whole perimeter of the park and put the path at the entrance. Put a path
through the door and in the cage. Put tons of animals in the cage. As long as your path doesn't
end the guests will keep walking through.
Screaming Globe:
----------------
Click on the globe and move the mouse left or right really fast. Do this a few times and the
globe will scream!
More Cash:
----------
When you need more cash I find this works great,you must have the african Adventure though
and a little starting money at least $60 to begin.Go to build a jeep path and make several
rows next to each other(out of the way of you main zoo perferablly) then build the cheapest
fence across the rows forming rows of gates instead then you bulldoze all the gates and
repeat till you think you have enough cash.I have tryed other cheats for more money but
this one that I discovered works. The path is $10 and the fence is $50(using the cheapest)
this all you need and keep building up from there.Dont sell your paths though just the gates!
The fence cost $50 and you sell them as gates for $128!Thats a nice profit I think.
Reviving animals:
-----------------
If your animal is "going to die", crate it, and hopefully it will decide to do something
else instead.
Walk twice as fast:
-------------------
Run in Zoo Guest Mode and Photo Safari Mode: Since left-clicking the mouse makes you walk
in Zoo Guest and Photo Safari Mode, and so does W or Up, you can walk twice as fast (aka
run) by holding two of these.
Few hints:
----------
1. When placing buildings, these are the basics:
Make a little area and put buildings around the edges of it. Then put picnic tables/umbrella
tables on the area, along with garbage cans/recycling bins.
The usual buildings for a small zoo are this:
1/2 areas
2/4 small restrooms
6/12 picnic tables/umbrella tables
7/16 recycling bins/garbage cans
and grow as you keep expanding your zoo.
2. When dealing with animals, 3 words- choose the cheapest.
It's good for you and hey, your guests will like it too.
Also:
Put at least 3/12 trees/plants/rocks for scenery.
To save money, put natural water instead of bowls. It saves you money and looks better, too.
Only put food when absolutely needed(I.E. carnivore). Herbivores can graze, but they need the
occasional pile of branches.Put a little quiet spot for your animals in the exhibits. They won't
be happy if they're being stared at from every corner of the exhibit by guests.

To get 2 stars on zoo tycoon 2 put lions, thomson gazzeles, and tigers in because the guests
really like theese animals.
Annoying zookeepers No More:
----------------------------
I found that it is very hard to get zookeepers to do what they are supposed to do.
Unless, you do what I do:
-Make the exhibit so that there is atleast one corner big enough to fit a staff center in.
-Place the staff center in that corner and fence it in with a strong fence and place a gait
that leads into the rest of the exhibit.
-Place the zookeeper in there.
- If you haven't actually set up the animal exhibit do so now.
And there you go, that (or those) zookeepers can only go into the staff center and back into
the exhibit. Never will you have to worry about your zookeepers being in the wrong place again.
Underwater objects:
-------------------
First buy an object like lets say an ice cream cart*. Next move the cart to a pool of water,
tank ect.. Now move the cursor over to the menu and click on the pick up/drop item. Finally exit
the window. Voilla!! You now have an underwater icecream cart!
*-Any object will work.
Sometimes a caveman will me in yur glaciers. When that happens go to camera mode and take a pic
of him to find out his name(optoinal). Mine happened to be Stone Grindstone:D. Now go to the guest
list and click on him. Then click the pick up button and drop him inside your zoo.
Hint:

Submitted by: Lux
If you have Extinct Animals, then get out your Fossil Finder. Hold down ">" on the keyboard,
then, keeping the other key held down, hold down "shift" and while holding down both of the
keys press "?" on the keyboard, not on the screen. It will pause your game while you are in
Zoo Guest Mode, and you can run through walls or buildings! It will stop if you put your Fossil
Finder away, I think. It might not work the first few times but keep trying and it will work.
Cross-bred baby giraffe:
------------------------
So when you are creating a Savannah exhibit, put in one Masai Giraffe( male or female) and one
reticulated giraffe( male or female). You will get credit for two different species, and get a
baby in return. Either it will turn out to be Masai or reticulated.
Zebra/Quagga:
-------------
Submitted by: James Morgan
If u put zebras and quaggas in the same exibit they will quite happily live and breed together
the end reslt will either be zebra or a quagga.

Dfferent Colors:
----------------
Submitted by: lila
To make exhibits more interesting for you and your guests you can get different color or
pattern varients for your animals these are the ones i have discovered so far, african wild
dogs, zebras, jaguars, tigers, saber toothe cats, green sea turtles, dolphins, and thats all
that i can remember right now. but all those are already in the game, no downloads nessasary
and all you have to do is make a bunch of those animals, find what colors you want in your exhibit,
and adopt out the rest. Note: these changes will only be evident when the game is not paused.

Giant red pandas:
-----------------
Submitted by: lila
Okay, this is really cool and easy to do. get two red pandas and breed them so they have a baby,
wait untill the phrase "red panda # has just grown from young to adult!" pops up on the message
bar. hurry up and click that then click the little hand icon and pick it up then put it down,
then, as soon as you do this adopt it out, then press undo and then you will have your own giant
red panda. and btw, it's not giant, like king kong giant, but it is roughly the size of a regular
panda. oh, and you have to all those steps really quickley because, if not, then the red panda
will just shrink back to normal size.
The Screams Heard 'Round The World:
-----------------------------------
On the zoo select screen with the globe, if you spin it fast enough, you'll hear the entire
world scream!
Hint:
-----
Submitted by: Jake
Put a coffee stand in your zoo. When you put in zookeepers it should say at the top something
like 'zookeepers on coffee run ' or something.
Three headed entertainer:
-------------------------
All you gotta do is get a stage for entertainers then get an entertainers and then when the
entertainer takes out the puppets sell the stage while it has the puppets out and then it
can't take of the puppets! (Hint: You have to have extinct animals for this).
Survival Hint!:
---------------
Submitted by: zt2luv
If you make a safari (wild) zoo, only place herbivores in at first. Small groups do better,
and about 3-4 species. Wait until they breed, then place in carnivores. If you do this,
you can have a sustainable population of prey for your carnivores.
PS, No more than 12 carnivores (individuals) in a large zoo. Some will starve of lack of
prey, others will ditch the pride or pack, and some will kill other carnivores.
