Description:  This hack deals with the things in nature that aren't correct in Zoo Tycoon. In this version (1.2), these are the following hacks available:

- Sperm Whales are to be made compatible with Elephant Seals
- Anteater will eat Insectivore Chow
- Grey Stone will be put in the African Elephant exhibit
- Asian Elephants will have more foliage, will like bamboo and eat it
- Komodo Dragons and Saltwater Crocs will have a burrow for a shelter
- Giant Tortoises, Giant Ground Sloths and Macrauchenias will live in a rainforest habitat
- Mangrove and Bald Cypress Trees will be placeable in water and tanks
- Sea Turtles will be able to walk on land (sand, dirt) (FIXED)
- The Loch Ness Monster will like coniferous terrain
- There will be more diversity in the Saltwater Crocodile's terrain (i.e. brown stone, savannah)
- The Harbor Porpoise's name will be changed to Dall's Porpoise (FIXED)
- There will be a new animal for the Harbor Porpoise, smaller and plain grey
-----------------
The hack is pretty straight forward to use (put files in the updates folder), with a few exceptions:

- Inside the dallporp folder, there is a .ztd file and a .dll file. Put the .dll file in the main Zoo Tycoon folder, and the .ztd file in the Updates folder.

- The megatherium hack and the .dll files overwrite those in the game, so be sure to make backups.

- Each file is labeled by what animal it edits, and if there is two hacks for one animal, they are labeled by the name plus what the hack does.
-----------------
Lastly, are thanks. I (Sideshow_Bob) would like to thank my partners, flamethrower and Tasmanian Tiger for volunteering for this grueling task. Your expertise are the reason this hack is as good as it is. Also, I'd like to thank anyone who contributed an idea for the hack, especially Supercrochunter, who started the original "Nature vs. Zoo Tycoon" thread. Without these ideas, I would have never started this!

A very overlooked hack these days where there are many mods trying to make the vanilla games more realism compliant, and I know some people were unaware of Taz's invaluable role with the Harbor Porpoise change. This was a mainstay of my game folders for many years and pretty ambitious for the time, with subtle enough changes to mostly not radically alter the intended gameplay while still bringing it a little more in line with reality. I remember being really impressed by sea turtles moving to land and the porpoise switcheroo, but smaller changes like the anteaters eating insectivore chow are also very welcome. I did have some mixed feelings on moving the Ice Age grassland species to the rainforest, as their icons were unchanged and it made the menu look disorganized - but another cool thing is you only have to install what parts of the hack/mod you like.
