Walrus Shows
« on: November 21, 2006, 06:32:45 AM »
Just got MM2, and I could use a little help...

Ever since my brother failed the 'Waldo the Wonder Walrus' scenario, he's been telling me all about the evils of walrus shows. Are they really that bad?

On an unrelated note, one of my walruses insists on slaughtering my penguins when it gets hungry...

No they're not that bad in freeform and challenge, but they are somewhat difficult in campaign mode.  Make sure your walrus doesn't get hungry place more food than needed.  The Sea Lions do the same thing to the Sea Otters when they're hungry, when they were compatible in ZT1.

Thanks for the tips. :original: The problem is Waldo tends to get old before you can do anything with him.

I'm quite sure that particular walrus is anti-penguin. I have 10-20 fish buoys (although they are concentrated in certain parts of the tank) and shellfish scattered all over the floor. They don't even eat the penguin. The key to peace is a full stomach, it seems... : :P :

Yeah, that's basically it. Keep them full.  It could also be that penguins are from the Antarctic and the Walrus from the Arctic?

Even though I don't have MM2, I'd have to agree with what everyone said about the penguin/walrus thing. I once did a Flamingo/Monitor/Buffalo exhibit, and as long as the Monitors had enough food, they only went as far as stalking the flamingoes. Keep them well fed and things 'should' be OK.

The polar bears and penguins get along. : :P : Can animals get to food buoys that are clumped together? That could be the problem...

Edit: What I have are evil walruses that ignore my 20 fish buoys to hunt penguins that they don't even eat. Any suggestions?
