Zoo Tycoon 2

Submitted by: conner54

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:
------

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:
------------------

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.
