Though balloon bouquets serve no purpose as they are, they can be recycled for $250, effectively netting that amount for every endangered animal birth. If both a male and female are born, there will be mixed ballons. Whenever a Critically Endangered, Endangered, or Extinct animal is born, the player will be awarded a balloon bouquet at the front gate, blue circles for a male baby or pink stars for a female baby. Young animals will also always be born and grow up to the base skin, even if their parents have skin variants. If a female animal finds no suitable male to mate with, a message will pop up to alert the player that she "wants to reproduce but can't find a mate". Only siblings born from the same mother (even from different births) will be considered as such, while half-siblings who share a father are considered unrelated.Īnimals will not mate with related animals, including their parents, offspring or full siblings. When an animal is born, it will automatically have its mother, father and sibling(s) (if applicable) on its family tree window. Some animals are monogamous and will not mate with a different animal once their mate is set, while others will mate again, simply overriding the previous mate. Firstly, with the introduction of family trees, when two animals mate they will be set as eachother's "Mate". Zoo Tycoon 2: Endangered Species introduced several new mechanics to animal breeding. Many campaigns and challenges require the player to breed certain animals, notably those in the Conservation Programs campaign, and the follow-up The Mysterious Panda. Being smaller than adults also means they are more susceptible to predators in comparison (see Predator and Prey Classification in Zoo Tycoon 2). They can't be released into the wild, and they have a higher guest attractiveness than adult animals. Some of them are unable to use certain items, such as food troughs or some toys. Young animals will perform different behaviors, such as nursing from their mother, or playing with eachother. Birth will produce one or more baby animals directly, while eggs will need their own incubation timer to fill before hatching into babies. Each species has its own pregnancy timer, with egg laying animals taking the shortest time, and elephants taking the longest.Īfter enough time has passed and the pregnancy timer has filled up and changed to red, the animal will either give live birth or lay an egg. When this happens, a pregnancy timer will be visible in her status window. Males will respond regardless of their happiness and reproduction needs, meaning newly placed male animals can already reproduce.Īfter mating, there is a chance (going from 50% to 100% depending on the animal) that the female will become pregnant. When this need is high enough, an adult female animal (who is not already pregnant or has any baby offspring) will invite an adult male of the same species for reproduction. It should be noted that though the conditions mention a "baby" animal, they will still complete if the animal born in the zoo has grown up.īreeding animals in Zoo Tycoon 2 involves more steps, but it mostly follows the same general idea as in the previous game.Īnimals have a hidden reproduction need which will rise as they are happy and their other needs are met. There are several scenarios which require breeding certain animals to complete, such as Breeding Giant Pandas, Breeding the T. The player can research for improved reproduction rate to increase the chances of animals breeding. For the first baby Giant Panda, the player will recieve $50,000, and for the first Great White Shark, $25,000. The first time an endangered animal ( Okapi, Snow Leopard, Lowland Gorilla, white Bengal Tiger, or black Leopard) produces offspring, the player will obtain a cash grant of $10,000. Some animals like lions and Gallimimus will have males mate with multiple partners, while others like bottlenose dolphins and giant tortoises are strictly monogamous (only having 1 mate their whole life). Mating habits of animals vary between species. Some dinosaurs, such as Coelophysis and Gallimimus, will eat unhatched eggs of a different species.īaby animals are comparatively less aggressive and will not attack some (or any) of the animals that their adult counterparts would attack. Oviparous Dinosaur Digs animals, such as dinosaurs and other reptiles, will lay an egg instead of giving birth to the young directly. After a certain amount of time, babies will grow up into adult animals undistinguishable from adopted ones. The player will get a notification that the female has given birth, without previous notice, and the baby animal(s) will automatically appear in a random free location of the exhibit. The likelihood of 2 animals breeding is 1% or 2% when not during an interval period both of these factors flucuate depending on the species. In Zoo Tycoon, breeding happens when a female animal shares an exhibit with a male of the same species.
