particularities

As the first game of its kind, Wildlife Park focuses on simulating functioning ecosystems . The player must satisfy the animals with appropriate planting and feed, otherwise they can become sick or die. Fences and floors must be tailored to the species, and the programmers tried to recreate real relationships between the animals. In the campaign mode, the satisfaction of the park visitors is second only to the welfare of the animals. A window can be called up for each animal species, in which information is provided about the real distribution as well as the feeding and courtship behavior. A separately accessible lexicon offers further information on all animals and plants.
