Making Animals Happy-er

[lsugirl123]

I've learned that zebras and gazzels on the African Savanah cross athe Mara River every two seasons(one side for spring and summer, the other for fall and winter) to get to better gazing lands, and so the can reproduce. Wildebeasts do it too, but I havn't found any wildebeasts for my zoo yet. Anyway, the lions and other animals just stay in one spot. The zebras and gazzels cross the river out of instinct, so i thought, hey, why not make a Mara in my zoo, in this one huge mixed exibit(I use my african zoo as a wildlife reserve)? So, I built the Mara going through the middle of my zoo, and despite the lions, my Zebras and Gazzels were happier(the lions, surprisingly, paid no interest in them and ate the meat and fish that I gave them). Now my strategy with every zoo, in ZT or ZT2, is to give the animals what comes naturaly to them wether it's living in herds with other animals, crossing a river to get to grazing grounds, or even hunting(I put a prey animal in with the tigers, one at a time, but it's usualy a smaller animal), it makes them happy. Sorry if this post is flooded with typos.

Another natural thing: Tigers, in the wild, are solitary, so if you want tigers and want cubs, I'd suggest one male and female tiger in an exibit.
