Porcupine

**Porcupines** are one of the base species of animal available in *Let's Build a Zoo*.

## About

> The word porcupine means Thorn-Pig. Porcupines cannot shoot their quills despite popular belief that they can.
>

## Ideal Living Conditions

* Separation Space Per Animal: 2

## Cohabitation

Cohabitation indicates which animals can safely share an exhibit together. Safe cohabitation depends on two factors: what the species is threatening to, and what the species is threatened by. You must consider both of these when sharing enclosures, as the "Move Animals" menu only shows whether the animal being moved is threatened *by* animals in the enclosure, and not whether the animal is threatening *to* animals in the enclosure.

Fishing Boat

Fishing Boats are a new mechanic exclusive to the Aquarium Odyssey DLC.

## The Sea Warrior

> The Sea Warrior is a ship full of dedicated ocean protectors. They follow large fishing vessels and regularly dive into the waters to inspect their nets to free any trapped animals! Regularly freeing dolphins, turtles and whales is a rewarding job, however, sometimes these animals are injured and cannot survive on their own. These animals are nursed back to health, then sponsored by Zoos such as yours, where you can give them a long and healthy life outside of their natural habitat.
>
>

The Sea Warrior is the moral good option of the two available ships.

## The Megaship

> The Megaship is an international trawler. It is amazing at catching fish and ignoring international boundaries. This factory of the sea collects nature's never ending bounty, however, sometimes it catches things that governments and conspiracy theorists have deemed as protected. In this case, the ones that don't die should be thrown back into the sea, but the Megaship Corp has decided to sell all living specimens to you!

Morality

**Let's Build a Zoo** uses a **morality** system where certain choices can earn positive or negative morality points, which may influence the behavior/appearance of certain characters, zoo buildings , and what actions can be taken during questlines.

## Morality Categories

Morality points are affected by four categories, as seen in the top of the screen when you click on morality and is further divided when you click on one of the categories.

### Animals

* Unwanted animals
* Breeding
* Black Market trades
* Released animals

### People

* Visitor's Food Quality
* Employee Severance Pay
* Salaries
* Bribes

### Business

* Critical Choices
* Black Market purchases
* Reporting the Black Market
* Factories/Crops

### Pollution

* Garbage/Recycling
* Electricity
* Water
* Fuel
* Food from animal death

## Positive Morality

Positive morality points can be gained by choosing morally positive options.

## Negative Morality

Negative morality points can be gained by choosing morally negative options.

## Building Morality Requirements

Some buildings require positive or negative morality to unlock in the Research tree.

Each building has a minimum morality to function, meaning you ***cannot*** have evil and good buildings at the same time in the same zoo.
Animal Keeper

**Animal Keepers** are the most important zoo employees in *Let's Build a Zoo*, as they'll be the ones feeding and taking care of the animals.

## Hiring animal keepers

First, a Store Room must be built, as they are the base of operations for your Animal Keepers. To hire more Animal Keepers, click on the building, and then the staff button to be shown current staff. Click on the other tab to post a job opening. There will be an alert in the top left when there is an applicant to hire.

## Zoning

Once the zoo starts getting larger, it will be necessary to start zoning Animal Keepers to make sure all animals are getting fed and looked after. To assign keepers to a pen, click the heatmaps button in the top right of the screen, and click the Animal Keepers heatmap. This shows which pens are already covered, and by clicking the keepers on the left, they can be assigned to individual pens.

If animals still aren't being fed, make sure there aren't any decorations blocking the Store Room or the animal's gates, and that there are enough keepers to cover all the animals. Also, check the Store Room to make sure enough food is on hand.
Owl

**Owls** are one of the base species of animal available in *Let's Build a Zoo*.

## About

> An owl's eyeballs are actually long tubes. This allows them to have exceptional vision, even at night. The downside is that they can't move their eyes, which is why they turn their heads so often.

Please feel free to contribute by creating new articles or expanding existing ones.

About

It's time to Build a Zoo! Construct and decorate enclosures, buy and breed animals, hire zookeepers and vets... then try your hand at DNA splicing, and stitch together over 300,000 different types of animal. This can only go smoothly...

Import and breed rare creatures, hire the right staff, keep your visitors happy, and deal with plenty of weird and wonderful events. Then try your hand at DNA Splicing, and stitch together over 300,000 different types of animal, ranging from the majestic Giraffephant to the peaceful PandOwl!

Let's Build a Zoo lets you import a variety of animals from other Zoos around the world! Breed your animals and start families to expand your wildlife and fill your enclosures. But if that doesn't suit you... you could just create animals instead! With DNA splicing at your finger tips, you have the power to bind together over 300,000 different types of animal, creating monstrosities and oddities as you go!

Researcher

**Researchers** are zoo employees generate research points used to unlock various items and bonuses for the zoo.

## Hiring researchers

Researchers can't be hired until the Research Hub is built, as it is their base of operations. Once this is done, hiring Researchers is done through the research hub. Click on the building, and then the staff button to be shown current staff. Click on the other tab to post a job opening. There will be an alert in the top left when at least one applicant is available to hire.
Peafowl

**Peafowls** are one of the base species of animal available in *Let's Build a Zoo*.

## About

> Only male peafowl have impressive plumages which are used to show off and attract a mate.

## Ideal Living Conditions

* Separation Space Per Animal: 5
* Territory Space: 20

## Cohabitation

Cohabitation indicates which animals can safely share an exhibit together. Safe cohabitation depends on two factors: what the species is threatening to, and what the species is threatened by. You must consider both of these when sharing enclosures, as the "Move Animals" menu only shows whether the animal being moved is threatened *by* animals in the enclosure, and not whether the animal is threatening *to* animals in the enclosure.

## Diet

The following is an example of an ideal diet for peafowl that offers them 100% nutrition and satisfaction. You may find other ratios that work!
