Elevated Paths
Move it on up! Elevated paths and
observation platforms give your
animals privacy and your guests a
great new perspective on exhibits,
especially with a well-placed pair
of binoculars.
Elevated paths have
their own tab on the
Construction panel. Place an
elevated path as you would any
other path, but be sure to allow
room for up and down ramps.
Use the new Guest View feature on the
Object Filters panel to see what your
guests can see. And remember to place
donation boxes on your elevated paths to
cash in on your guests’ happiness.
Jeep Vehicle Tours
Off the beaten path! Jeep vehicle tours let you or your guests get
off your feet and ride to or through out-of-the-way exhibits.
You can build a Jeep vehicle tour by
clicking the new Transportation tab
on the Construction panel. Just place a Jeep
vehicle station, and then place a road
throughout the tour area. You can place multiple
stations on the tour, but the road must start and
end at the same station.
After you connect the last section of road,
the station opens for business and you can
buy Jeep vehicles that carry different
numbers of guests.
Safety first! You may want to

World Wildlife Fund, the global conservation organization, seeks to create
a world where people live in harmony with nature. Responsibly managed zoos
can play a key role in balancing human needs with the preservation of wildlife
and wildlife habitat. With Zoo Tycoon 2: Endangered Species, you’re helping
spread the word to your zoo guests about the importance of conservation,
biodiversity, and habitat protection for animals and indigenous people.
You can learn more about WWF’s global activities, including endangered
species, by visiting our Web site. There you will find information on
orangutans, Spanish lynx, and other animals as well as news and publications
about WWF’s many other conservation programs.
Check out our photo galleries, fun facts, and stories about WWF scientists in
the field as they work to save endangered species around the globe. And be
sure to use WWF’s WildFinder, a database of more than 30,000 species at
www.worldwildlife.org/wildfinder. Its powerful search tool will allow you
to explore wild places, find out which species live there, and what you can
do to help!
