Compatibility : All Game Versions

Description : Guests will like these Yangtze rocks, like those deep in the Yangtze River of China. Asian Aquatic animals such as Tasmanian Tiger's Baiji will also enjoy these rocks and the Tape Grass (Vallisneria spiralis) growing beside them. There are 3 types of Yangtze rocks: Large, Small, and Square. There are 3 versions inside each of the 3 ".ztd" files. One version is in the Aquatic area of the Rocks Purchase Menu. This type counts toward the rock portion of suitability. When placed in a tank, it will show the plant as part of the rock if the water is deep enough, otherwise it will only show the rock. When placed on water terrain, it will show the plant as part of the rock. Although it can also be put on land, this version is not meant to be put on land, since it will work differently on land, depending on the version of ZT, due to how MM and CC were made. Another version is decorative, which can be put in any exhibit and does not count toward suitability so that you can add as many as you like to an exhibit. A third version uses just the nonliving graphics, so that it does not show the plant no matter where it is used: on land, on water terrain, or in a tank. This version can be put in any exhibit and does not count toward suitability. This version will work the same on land no matter which ZT version is used.

Description by Dr Rick : Inspired by Taz's beautiful Baiji leading to research on rocks and plants of Yangtze, the research revealed that the characteristic rocks of large rivers are big, smoothed off ovals like the lion rocks, and that vallisnaria floats serenely in the slower reaches of the river.
