Here is one of the nifty new features of ZT2 in action.

The game is now heavily concerned with conservation and one of the features of this is the oportunity to release animals into the wild. This is accompanied by the animal being crated up and then carried away by helicopter:



Here is one of the cool new animal shelters that you an research and use. In this case the Ring Tailed Lemur climbs into the shelter and looks like the king of the zoo!



The Zoo Awards have undergone a revamp, and these ones even list EXACTLY what the award is for:



And finally...
I "accidentaly" allowed a couple of crocodiles to go and play with my flamingos. There was a PERMANENT reminder that this is a bad idea (the Flamingo carcass!):

Permanent reminder, eh? Does that mean you can't clean up the carcass?

I like the conservation/release into the wild idea. That is pretty cool. Thanks for the pics!!!

Wow! M$ really went in depth with this game. Those moose look pretty realistic. This is definitely going to be worth getting.

it's pretty realist and cool looking! I just cant wait to get it!

When you have a muti species exibit and you use the Biome Brush, does it creat the exact amount of foilige needed?

Nope
you need to fiddle around
I've placed BENCHES in exhibits with no reaction from the animals!

I like the 'release back in the wild' possibility, but I would also have like exchange programs with other zoos to increase biodiversity

Nice

That CAN happen to a degree
you can let another zoo adopt one of your animals and in the campaign games you recieve donated animals from other zoos in some scenarios

sweet

Nope.
Mine just reamed right in.

all carcasses are the same size i think. im not sure about elephants thouhg. anyway, carcasses are not permanent. zookeepers think they are food dishes and refill them, but you CAN delete them.
