The Natural History Museum and the Zoological Society have teamed up to create a place for all those Museum animals you've brought back from extinction: the all-new Prehistoric Park region!



The Prehistoric Park is a brand-new region that allows you to created mixed species exhibits in a magnificent prehistoric setting.

In addition to allowing you to create unique enclosures with mixed communities of extinct animals, the Prehistoric Park will attract significantly more visitors. There are also special decorations for your Prehistoric Park (some for enclosures, some for outside) as well as themed stalls so your visitors can enjoy a real blast from the past!

Unlocking the Prehistoric Park

To gain access to the Prehistoric Park, you must have a Zoological Society in your zoo. This building grants you access to regions with special properties, such as the the Zoo d'Amour, the Serengeti, and the new Prehistoric Park.

To unlock the Prehistoric Park, you must first complete some prerequisite tasks:

- Breed 10 Dodos
- Breed 10 Woolly Mammoths
- Breed 10 Smilodons
- Breed 10 Ankylosaurus
Note: You can skip this task for 290 Diamonds (or less, if you've already completed some of it), but this will only skip the prerequisite. You will not get any baby animals, nor will you get credit for achievements that involve breeding these animals. You are only paying to skip the prerequisite!

Once these tasks are complete, you can unlock the Prehistoric Park for either 40,000,000 ZD or 175 Diamonds.

Expanding and Populating the Prehistoric Park

Your Prehistoric Park starts out with a size of 20x20 fields with a number of obstacles that need to be removed to make room for enclosures. Some of these cost Diamonds to remove.

Of course, there are also a number of expansions for the region unlockable for either Zoo-Dollars or Diamonds. Animals in the Prehistoric Park require special Prehistoric Park enclosures, which can be purchased in the shop while in the Prehistoric Park. While regular space limits apply, there is no herd limit within Prehistoric Park enclosures, allowing you to keep impressive herds of mammoths!

At time of release, the Prehistoric Park can be home to the following species:
Haast's Eagle, Moa, Quagga, Giant Ground Sloth, Thylacine, Woolly Rhinoceros, Dodo, Glyptodon, Triceratops, Ankylosaurus, Bear Dog, Deinotherium, Terrorbird, Woolly Mammoth, Quetzalcoatlus, Smilodon, Paraceratherium, Tyrannosaurus

Breeding in the Prehistoric Park

As breeding in mixed species enclosures is too stressful for the animals, breeding animals in the Prehistoric Park requires special breeding enclosures, in which you can only keep a single species. These can be purchased in the shop and outfitted with prehistoric breeding equipment (watering hole and habitation).

It's getting warmer every day, and already the watering holes and the shady patches under the enormous trees are becoming great favorites with the frolicking youngsters in the zoo. Back in the dens, new mothers are taking care of the more helpless cubs, kits, and kittens. Yep, another Twin Breeding Event has begun with today's patch!

This means that every successful breeding completed* before Wednesday, May 2, at 10:59 am CEST will grant you twins!



In addition to the two baby animals, all players who breed twins will also receive twice the experience. And if the breeding wasn't successful? All players will receive twice the experience anyway, as a bit of a consolation prize.

Please note: The experience bonus is already calculated into the pop-up display that appears for your information after a successful breeding.

*Breedings must complete during the event period; breedings that were started during the event will not result in twins once the event expires.

Dear Zoo Directors,

Birds of a feather stick together! Hidden away in your aviaries, your magnificent flying specimens are often overlooked. Time to change that by luring visitors in with images of fluffy owl chicks - and letting them discover for themselves that the most stunning birds tend to have rather hideous offspring. Our Aviary Week is a fantastic ugly duckling teaching moment for visitors' children!



From now until April 25 at 10:59 am CEST, selected bird breedings will result in triplets! Every successful

• Striped Owl
  
• Galah
  
• Black-Chested Buzzard-Eagle
  
• Glittering-Throated Emerald
  
• Western Crowned Pigeon
  
• Wilson's Bird-of-Paradise
  

breeding completed* before April 25 at 10:59am CEST will grant you triplets!

In addition to extra babies, all players who breed triplets will also receive twice the experience. And if the breeding wasn't successful? Players will receive twice the experience anyway, as a bit of a consolation prize.

Please note: The experience bonus is already calculated into the pop-up display that appears for your information after a successful breeding. You can also find detailed entries with exact exp numbers in the System Log. Just click on the Adviser (the "System log") on the top left!

Enjoy the game!

*Breedings must complete during the event period; breedings that were started during the event will not result in triplets once the event expires.

From now until Wednesday, April 4, at 10:59 am CEST, you can turn your zoo into a blossoming oasis full of enchanting flowers, bushes and trees. The selection is huge and ranges from pinks over dandelions to pansies and cowslip; food and souvenirs are also provided for in form of Easter lambs and hand-painted Easter eggs.

Each decoration you set up will grant you a certain number of chocolate eggs; these will be tallied up at the end of the event, and you'll be awarded fantastic prizes based on how many you collected. Prizes include silver and cold boosters, the East Friesian Sheep known for its robustness and the Patagonian Mara, a close relative of the guinea pigs, native to the steppes of Argentina.

With enough chocolate eggs, you'll get both a male and female sheep and mara, allowing you to breeding adorable offspring in your zoo.

You can also surprise your friends with great items from the friendship shop, such as a mint-green silver poplar or a decorated birch.
