Has anyone ever tried dedicating a whole zoo to one animal? Well I've started one and I'm trying to release as many Ibex into the wild as possible. :P
-
i did tip use peafowl or musk ox they breed breed breed Fast fast fast!
-
I have never done that but usual set up breeding programs by building several exhibits together so i have room to breed them for release into the wild.
I did this with ZT1 in one I had breeding programs for panda's, orangutans, cheetah's, leopards(excluding snow leopards) siberian tigers. and most of the time i had the exhibits full to capicity, but still had many other exhibits for other animals
I am quite animal mad, I always ignore the guests!!
-
i made a zoo with just giant pandas and black rhinos (cuz they are the 2 hardest animals to breed).
-
ilovemyweasel, black rhinos are very hard to breed, but I recommend this, but them with an african elephant, they'll breed.
As for the giant pandas, they breed like bunnies for me.
-
I've done this with evry animal in the game (inc downloads official and user) i find that the African Elephants are the worst to do because they take so long given birth. My favourite are pandas because once they are settlede they dont stop breeding. Tip, keep the male and female seperate when you first get them as they wont breed for a few months. After the first or second month put ONE female in the males exhibit then once she is pregnant put a new female in, and keep doing that, they will breed quicker plus u can control the amount of babies. Also make sure you have plenty of males, if you have a lot of females. otherwise they forget to eat and only mate.Last thing, animals do breed better in mixed exhibits, especially predator/prey exhibits.

This is my first post but in real zoos you have to keep cheeaths seprate to breed them
-
I've done this with lemurs before. It's really annoying at first because they don't want to breed, but once they start, they breed like crazy!!
-
lol :lol
-
I once did it with beavers. I love those beavers.
-
I've devoted zoo to breeding only one biome, usually tropical or savanna as they have the most animals
Once i had a red panda, giant panda, peafowl zoo
-
Maybe the Oct. ZA contest should be, who can breed the most giant pandas within one year of game time! :w00t
Ibex, gazelle, and kangaroos breed like crazy.
-
My rhinos are really easy to breed, they breed within the first 3/4 months.
-
Yeah, my black rhinos start out as six but soon i'll have herds of 12 or 14.
-
I've done this with Beavers and Moose. However, I don't like doing it so much. Alot of times i have Savvanah Zoos with just savvanah animals, because I loves them! Lol. I have a big zoo with almost all of the savvanah animals, except for like, 2, and I speicalize in cheetah breeding. I've got 9 generations so far! Lol. I had one who had 8 total cubs, instead of like, 6, like most of the others. It was really cool. (Tip, though, If you want 8 cubs per female, remove them after they nurse, and put them into a cage with another nursing female. That way the female will get pregnant really soon again. It's cruel, yes, but I get more cubs that way)

This is my first post but in real zoos you have to keep cheeaths seprate to breed them
The time seems to have flown past. I find That Black Rhinos breed best in large herds in the own biome. However I like keeping animals on grassland, to make it more realistic. So i came up with a great idea i made a zoo with animals on grassland then i made soom really big naturel exibits for animals to hard animals to breed in. Then take a pregnat female and a male out of the "wild" and put them in "captivaty".
-
I'm good at breeding pandas, I've devoted whole zoos to them before.
-
It's harder to breed red pandas than giants !! I make asian elephant breeding zoos.
-
i am doin that with zebras i have i have 6 zebras and when the babys grow up i will set them free or sell them to a zoo so they don`t take form the wild (i now it is a game but still)
-
i lik to dio this with small animals all the time. never big animals
-
i like to do this to.
the meerkat's always breed really good
-
I do that with Przewalskis. I had a good one going once.. I should start it again :bounce:
-
im making a pana sanctuary with 50 pandas - for breeding and re intoduction
-
I often build breeding centres in my zoos, with 3-4 exhibts , where i keep several specimens of an endangered species. First i raise a pooulation, where there always are young animals to take over from the old ones, so i never have to buy any new, and the i start releasing a whole bunch of the into the wild
-
but be carfull the ones left arn't related!
-
Yes, i know. Thats the trick with breeding centres, moving some of the animals around the different enclouseres, so that you always have some unrelated babies to mate when they grow up..
-
i love to do breeding programs with horses and other animals that live inherds/groups along with small animals
-
Some animals seems to love inbreeding. I once had a male Markhor breed with his own daugther, his son's mate, and his granddaugther (who was the daugther of his daugther, ironically).
-
I usually dedicate my zoo to ethier jaguars or orangutans.
-
-
i do red panda breeding program :halo2: :jedi: :halo2:
-
I have never done this before but i am going to try with 3 female giant pandas and 2 male pandas and there the only animals in the zoo can't wait
-
Me and my friend always close down a large grassland zoo and devote it completely to 30 or more P.'s Wild Horses. It is so much ffun cus we make up town and put the mares in their own little area when they are pregnant and everything! We love to do it and love giving them names like: Stop Short, Forgotten Appearence, Simple Melody, Lovely Rose, Tight Run and just like race horse names. It is so fun when you have 2-5 stallions and 25+ mares!
-
What is the point in holding breeding programs? Does releasing an animal in the wild give you a sort of bonus or do you just do it for fun/good will of it? I am asking because I have yet to get my zoo tycoon 2 cds(I got one but its italian :ohmy )
-
well it boosts your fame up and its fun! :laugh2: :whistling: :wub:
-
personally, i nearly always have at least one breeding program zoo at at time, right now, i have P.w. horses-on to our second foal season and still have soo many foals yet
to be born, but i have had zebra's, bengal tiger's, and i was thinking of starting a grey wolf breeding program.
