Zooskooñ

Zooskooñ puts you in charge of building a zoo from the ground up. Not just placing animals in boxes and watching money roll in – you’re dealing with the actual work that goes into keeping a wildlife park running.

Every animal has specific needs. African elephants require mud wallows and scratching posts. Big cats need vertical space and hiding spots to feel secure. Primates get bored fast without enrichment, and bored animals become stressed animals.

You’ll balance habitat temperatures, manage breeding programs, and figure out which species can share enclosures without turning lunch into each other.

The business side matters too. Zoos don’t run on good intentions alone. You’re setting ticket prices, negotiating with food vendors, hiring vets and keepers, and deciding whether that panda exhibit is worth the insane bamboo costs. Visitors want gift shops and clean bathrooms, but they also want to learn something – educational programs boost your reputation and bring in school groups.

Some animals arrive through rescue programs. Confiscated exotic pets, wildlife injured in the wild, species pulled from breeding mills. Rehabilitating them takes resources, but successful releases earn conservation credits that unlock endangered species for your collection.

Start with a handful of enclosures and a tight budget. End up running a facility that actually contributes to species preservation – or just build the flashiest tourist trap you can manage. Zooskooñ doesn’t judge.
