There are over 500 kinds of animals, from relatively smaller ones such as chickens and monkeys to larger ones like giraffes and elephants. Players must create enclosures with environment\/foliage suitable for each animal, attract visitors, and expand the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The highlight of this game is the \u201cDNA splicing\u201d feature that lets you bind together animals to create new species, with over 300,000 possible combinations. For example, mixing a panda with an owl will create a pandowl. Combining a chicken and a cow will create a chickow. You have the freedom to create whatever monstrosities you wish. In addition, you have the option to \u201crun your Zoo above board\u2026 or break the law and pocket the extra cash.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mike Rose, founder of No More Robots, shared his experience on Twitter: \u201cYesterday, I realized that a breed of gorilla only existed in my zoo \u2014 it was extinct in the wild. So I started breeding *loads* of them, and eventually I released a bunch of them into the wild. A couple of hours later, the breed\u2019s population was rising. I MADE THAT HAPPEN!!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems like you can toy around with the visitors as well. Rose continued on to say: \u201cI realized that if I fed sugar and barely popped kernels of popcorn to customers, it made me way more money, and made my visitors buy more things. A dentist practice then approached me to work out a deal together, where I got them more customers.\u201d Suggesting you can customize the recipes for foods sold at the zoo and serve outrageous snacks to visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/RaveofRavendale\/status\/1448047506311495685\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/news\/app\/1547890\/view\/2997700369452878373\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">announcement<\/a> page on Steam, \u201cyou&#8217;ll be able to put on your Zoo Keeper&#8217;s uniform and build the best (or worst) zoo to ever exist, splicing up animals, running farms and turning your animals into bags and belts!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wonder how far players can go in pursuit of profit.
