fee too high, the guest may stop his or her payments. Income obtained through adoption fees is added to your cash amount. Park guests who adopt animals will also experience an increase in their happiness levels.

ANIMALCAM

Once you have animals in the park, you can see the world from their perspective using the AnimalCam. The AnimalCam works just like the CoasterCam. To activate it, double-click an animal to bring up its Animal control panel and then double-click on the mini-view of the animal to open the AnimalCam. To turn off the animal’s camera, or switch to another cam- era, move the cursor to the bottom right of the screen and click on that option.

ENRICHMENT

You can purchase enrichment objects from the Enclosure construction panel that will help your ani- mals have a happier, healthier existence. Select an enrichment object and drop it into the enclosure. The animal will play with the object and become happier.

The enrichment object will slowly degrade as the animals use it, so you’ll need to replace the objects periodically.

PREDATOR/PREY

Predators will attack prey. For example, if you drop a lion in an enclosure with several zebras, it may get hungry and decide to have one of the zebras for a snack. You will lose any investment in animals that fall victim to a predator, including all adoption income.

It’s best to keep carnivores of the same species in an animal enclosure reserved just for them. Herbivores may be mixed together in the same enclosure provided you have enough room and enough of the appropriate types of animal houses for each animal.

BREEDING

To allow breeding, an adult male and female animal of the

same species must be in the same enclosure, must be very healthy and must have not recently bred. The enclosure must also have space for another animal. When one of your animal pairs breeds, you will be notified via the dashboard.

DART CAM

If an animal escapes – either through fence breakdown or deliberate placement, you must use DartCam to cap- ture it. Click on the escaped animal and then click on the Dart button, or click on the flashing icon in the dash- board. This enters the DartCam. Move the camera by holding down the left mouse button, cycle through escaped animals, or exit DartCam, by dragging the cur- sor over the panel in the bottom-right of the screen.

Toggle the crosshair by pressing the right mouse button. When the crosshair is displayed, fire the rifle by clicking

the left mouse button. Once the animal is tranquilized it will be crated up. Exit DartCam and click the crated animal to attach it to your pointer and drop it back into its enclosure by clicking there.

Prevent further escapes by clicking on a viewing gallery for the animal enclosure with the damaged fence, clicking the Maintenance button, and then clicking the Call For Repairs button. Note: A damaged fence for an animal enclosure cannot be repaired until at least one viewing gallery has been added to it.
