Live lizards swim!
« on: February 27, 2007, 10:34:06 PM »
I was making a live lizard hunting park for carnivores when I put some water into the area. And the live lizards started swimming!!!!! If any of you want to test this, remember you can't put the live lizards directly in the water. You must put the live lizards first then the water on them. Then they swim!

Yeah, wierd. I've found out once the live lizards are in the water, they'll be trying to swim out of the pool, so they don't go in the water by themselves.  :offtopic: What website was it, Chimpinater?

EDIT: Oh, I get it now.

I wonder if that means that animals will chase them in the water too.

That happened once, and the live lizard bodies were floating on the surface...

I like to have the lizards running around my zoo as an 'ambient' animal.

I do too. Sometimes my animals are so bust chasing them they forget to eat and drink and then they get angry, so I turn the live lizards loose as ambients.
