Zoo Tycoon Cheats & Tips

If a zookeeper can't access an exhibit because it's blocked, you can either:

1. Put the zookeeper in the exhibit, he/she will place the food, then take him/her out again and put him/her back on path.

2. Adopt a herbivore, such as a tom gazelle or a sheep family animal into a carnivore's cage. Although red angry faces will rise up from the carnivore's head, it will chase after the herbivore and BOOM! Then wait and the herbivore will be gone.

Zoo Tycoon isn't just for creating animals in exhibits, tanks, cages, or whatever. Try putting a patch of salt or fresh water on the ground. No exhibit fencing is needed. Then watch the guests as they might swim in the water, like you would play a game called Pool Tycoon! And, in Marine Mania, there is a shack called a Swim with Dolphins ride. Make a tank, and watch the guests swim with dolphins or other tame animals.

When you got a sick camel, thomas glalz, or a zebra and you have a straving lion,jaguar,bear,leopard, or anyother meat-eater. Put the straving animal and the sick animal togeather, and the lion or whatever will run after the sick animal and eat it. Problem solved. The sick animal is gone and the straving animal is not straving anymore.

if your animal has to much and not enough of a terrian (ex: too much concrete and not enough snow) replace a terrain with a too much terrian(ex: grass with rainforest) and your animal is more suited with the exibit. simple. <img src="http://i.neoseeker.com/d/icons/wink.gif" border=0 vspace=2 alt="" />

Last glitch I told you was about a man drowning. But this time it's about a LITTLE GIRL disapearing. First start with the same exihibit I told you about on the Drowning Man glitch. If you didn't hear that then I'll tell you. First put a patch of salt water anywhere on your zoo. Next make an exihbit with decorative water rope fence. Next put a LITTLE girl in it. She will swim around for a little bit then stand up and disapear. It's better if you put the salt water in the back corner of your zoo ( just don't make it touching the wall!!!) And it would be better if your zoo was the large ocean one . Otherwise the trick is boring. Now go to the entrance of your zoo and there she is walking around!!! But please use a new large ocean zoo to do this. ( it doesn't work on little boys or Women only on little girls)!!!

Some of you may not think this is cool, but it's fun to watch so... put a patch of salt water terrain anywhere on your zoo. Next put a decorative water rope fence making an exibit (only the game won't actually tell you to name it). Then take a grown male adult and put it in the exibit you just made. He will swim around for a minute (if you make sure he doesn't have any land to stand on)then he will start to go under the salt water. He'll do this about 3 times then he will go under and disappear. This is because he's gone totally and he WON'T come back!

Here are a list of cheats that always work, but not if you have the expansions, just for Zoo tycoon...The only ones that work with the expansion are the Unicorn cheat and Triceratops cheat, although I wouldn't recommend the Dino one unless you have Dino digs. The fence cheat and money cheat and mermaid cheat all work with the expansions too, but that's about it. The rest are for Zoo Tycoon only! {I found out the hard way}

Misc.
Pressing $ (Shift+4) will give you 10,000 bucks but the drawback; it damages fences. Add the money at the very beginning before you start building so that there are no fences to deteriorate.
Ctrl+F disables foliage for you to see your zoo better. Helps you to find all the trampled terraine.
Ctrl+G turns off the grid.
To get more money put 10 different animals in the same exhibit.

Click on a guest, and name him/her Andrew Binder to make all endangered animals available

Normally thye limit is $500,000 or something rather but I know a cheat that can expand that! This isn't the Shift+4 cheat so listen up:
Go into the Zoo Tycoon folder and locate the main .ini file. Open it and find "MSMaxCash=" (without quotation marks). Change the number next to it to alter the set limit. Enjoy!

Put a mermaid statue in a tank and it will break open and a mermaid will come out. There are ONLY females, and they aren't gay. they do attack people.

for money hold down shift and tap "4" until desired amount of money is met and your fences will be deteriated.

build a marine exhibit. under the buildings find the Giant Pacific Clam statue. Place on in the tank and the clam will open and close its mouth. water will shoot the pearl up too!!

when a person goes into the animal theater, at the roof, it will show a bear standing and sitting

Triceratops Exhibit:
Rename your exhibit Cretaceous Corral, then try it to rename your exhibit Xanadu.
