Can Animals be placed in other biomes?

[Seraphii]

Not only are most animals able to "switch" biomes, you may prefer them in other biomes! =)
I like to place my Orcas and GWS in Costal.
Hammerheads look REALLY cool (i.m.o.) in benthic and reef.
I like a mix of scrub/desert with my camels, and I love combining boreal, wetlands, and a bit of pelagic with my beavers and moose!
Spectacled bears and Tapirs look pretty cool with a mix of TR and temperate, and a bit of alpine.
One of the best parts of this game, is that YOU get to decide what your exhibits are like! I have made multiple biome exhibits, like a Chimp exhibit with Costal/Tropical rainforest/scrub/wetlands/benthic!
It all depends on you! ^_^

I sometimes put my Great White Sharks in Reef and they look good!

I had mod all the animals I have but the DD ones (User Downloads too) to be comfortable in any biome. It's really easy: How an animal likes a biome is determined with a value from 10 to -10, with 10 being perfect comfortability and -10 being total uncomfortability. 0 and above means an animal is comfortable there, but anything under -5 means uncopatibility. Just a few tweaks change how they are.

I had wrote  big article on what every animal liked on zoo tek but i lost it now and the werdiest result was the lemur liked the savannah :eggthumup

Yes.  Some animals can. I wouldn't put a polar bear in desert or a camel in tundra though.  A lot of scrub and desert animals can live in savannah with no problem.   Ratels and secetary birds do fine there too.

animals can go in similar biomes (savannah -> scrub/desert, alpine -> tundra, and vice versa).  It helps if you choose a ground biome, let's say tundra, then add foliage, rocks, and trees from another biome, let's say alpine.  That way you could have caribou with markhors, making a really cool mixed exhibit.
