The title says it all – you get to create your own zoo, from choosing which animals will populate the zoo to caring for them and even interacting with them! Among the cool and sometimes exotic animals you can put in your zoo: monkeys, lions, tigers, polar bears, elephants, rhinos, giraffes, goats, cheetahs, penguins, hippos, kangaroos and crocodiles, and lots, lots more. You also get to plan the zoo's contents, including building hills and water bodies for the animals' homes, refreshment stands, ticket sales areas, water fountains, gift shops, etc., and you also get to manage the zoo's profits. One of the best features of the new Zoo Tycoon is the new Zookeeper Mode, which actually allows you to get into the pens with the animals and interact with them!
