  • Using the market to make credits by buying and selling animals. Like most markets, prices change. If we can predict the price increase of an animal, we can purchase in advance and sell at a higher price in the future.
  • Breeding animals to release back into the wild. If you’re able create a successful breeding strategy, putting up animals for sale with superb genetics, you will be rewarded with a wealth of credits.
  • Breed animals that have quick pregnancies and that have more than 1 spawn. African Dogs and Wolves can be useful to start with due to the size of their litter. Further down the line when you have expanded your zoo try Elephants and Tigers.

Using Conservation Credits To Adopt Animals

When adopting animals, conservation credits are the primary payment method, although it is possible to use cash when adopting animals.

As the market decides the price of an animal, the price will change overtime. If you want to sell animals quickly, you can list them for less conservation credits than the market average to increase the chances of a sale occurring. If you’re listing an animal for a higher conservation credit price than the average, you’ll earn more credits but the transaction will take longer as other players will look for more affordable offers.

There are a few factors that affect the value of your animal including:

  • Species
  • Age
  • Genetics

Players can only trade habitat animals and if you have the deluxe edition of the game you’ll be able to trade deluxe animals.
