Sheila, I'm not real sure what your question is, but if you're saying you downloaded the arctic fox and it doesn't appear in the game, here's the fix:

The solution (just applies to ZT2 and ZT2 ES) seems to be:

1) after unzipping (you will need WinZip) the files to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Zoo Tycoon 2
2) inside that folder, you'll see another folder, created by the MAKER (e.g. exitree, penguinman, martin1990)
3) inside THAT folder will be yet ANOTHER folder (e.g. arctic fox), plus a .dl file also called arctic fox
4) cut the zoo tycoon 2 file (inside that 2nd folder) and paste it next to the arctic fox .dl file
5) Now you have two files side by side, both named arctic fox
6) then, take both THOSE files (artic fox.dl and arctic fox.zoo tycoon 2) and CUT and PASTE them into
7) C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Zoo Tycoon 2
8) This virtually always fixes the problem

Some computers are configured differently, and some won't 'recognize' those individual folders. Mine, for instance, won't. I always have to do the above to get my downloads to work. Hope that helps! :happy

Well, now, this may seem like a stupid question, but how CLOSE to them are you? I have that trouble with baby koalas, sometimes. They're SO small that you have to get really, really close to them to see them. Could that be it? Try going into Guest Mode and see if they're really there. (Especially if they're against snow).  ;)

Do you have the xp? That would probably mess it up if you dont. ;)
