Time Limit:

   12 months

Objectives:

   1. Achieve a zoo rating of 50.
   2. Achieve an average animal happiness of 75.
   3. Exhibit at least 8 different animal species.

Walkthrough:

You start out with a Bengal tiger, a black rhinoceros, two gemsbok (male and 
female), and two chimpanzees (also male and female).  They’re in really crummy 
exhibits, but that’s ok.  It’s nice to have the animals for free.

To start out, immediately delete everything but the exhibits.  Not only will 
this add over $2000 to your coffers, it’ll prevent guests from wandering over 
to the exhibits and viewing the unhappy animals.  Just let your starting 
zookeeper roam free for the moment.

Also, even though guest happiness isn’t listed in the objectives, you should 
still try to make it as high as possible, because it’ll increase your revenue, 
and keeping it high here is good practice for later scenarios when you have to 
maintain a 93 rating.

So plan ahead before building new exhibits.  Try to leave space for wide 
cobblestone paths; a mixture of fountains, statues, and flowers; and 
restaurants, carousels, and animal theaters (one or two of each is probably 
sufficient since the scenario is short).

Then start building exhibits, starting with the animals you already have.  
There are 17 grid squares to the right of the entrance.  That allows you space 
to create a 10x5 black rhinoceros exhibit and a 10x10 Bengal tiger exhibit.  
Leave one grid square between the exhibits and the entrance, and another 
between the exhibits, and use the zoo’s fencing as much as possible.  Add a 
female Bengal tiger to the Bengal tiger exhibit when you’re done.  The two 
exhibits should cost you all of your money (including what you got for 
bulldozing the old exhibits), but you should win an exhibit design award for 
$15,000, keeping you flush in cash.

Now you can build the next two exhibits.  Use the space above your new 
exhibits, about where the old exhibits are now.  Put the gemsbok closest to 
the new exhibits, and make their exhibit 8x10 (enough for four gemsbok).  Then 
put the chimpanzees above the gemsbok exhibit and make their exhibit 9x10 
(enough for 6 chimpanzees).  Your zoo should now look something like:

               CCCCCCCCCC
               CCCCCCCCCC
               CCCCCCCCCC
                             <- 1 grid square wide, for the zookeeper
               GGGGGGGGGG
               GGGGGGGGGG
               GGGGGGGGGG
                             <- 4 grid squares wide, for guests
            RRRRR BBBBBBBBBB
          E RRRRR BBBBBBBBBB
          E RRRRR BBBBBBBBBB

Note: The new exhibits for the gemsbok and chimpanzees will overlap the old 
exhibits.  So pause the game, bulldoze the old exhibits, build the new 
exhibits, and put the animals where they go.  As long as the game is paused 
the entire time, the game won’t consider the animals to have escaped.

At this pint it probably doesn’t look like you have enough money to complete 
the two new exhibits, but you’ll receive $10,000 as soon as your available 
cash drops below $1000, and you’ll receive $15,000 as soon as all six of the 
original animals have a happiness of 95.  So build the gemsbok exhibit first 
(it’ll be much cheaper), and then do as much as the chimpanzee exhibit as 
possible.  Be sure to give the chimpanzees monkey bars right away, or not only 
will their happiness not reach 95, it’ll drop to zero.

Note: If you find you can’t do all this with your available cash, then feel 
free to be less ambitious with the gemsbok and chimpanzees.  The gemsbok 
exhibit only needs to be 4x10, and the chimpanzee exhibit only needs to be 
3x10.  (But the smaller exhibits won’t be as popular.)

Once the scenario reaches February, hire a second zookeeper and assign one 
zookeeper to the rhinoceros and Bengal tigers, and the other to the gemsbok 
and chimpanzees.  (At some point you should also hire a maintenance worker, 
just to pick up the food piles from the old exhibits if nothing else.)  Then 
buy a restaurant and animal theater and put them to the left of the gemsbok 
and chimpanzee exhibits.  If you can’t afford them yet, just wait for money to 
trickle in.  With four good exhibits and lots of happy guests, money shouldn’t 
be too much of a problem.

At this point the scenario is open-ended.  The ten months remaining are more 
than enough to build four more exhibits, so just pick four animals you like 
and then build away.  Once the first year ends, you should win easily.
