Defeated by Peary Caribou by Ghirin

[fountain]

Defeated by both the first and second exhibits in two separate zoos.  Second exhibit I put 4 Peary Caribou in 160 sq L-shape exhibit, grassed, snowed, grey rock terrain, and mini-reindeer shelter by Toodlepops, some snowy rocks that all rated happy green faces, plus zookeeper rated 90.  So I work on my 1st Nordic Lynx exhibit until they are happy kitties.  Then check on animal population. then my second ever Red-Crown Crane exhibit and success.

Then all the Peary Caribou are red faced unhappy and the exhibit is yellow 87-ish.  So I sold them all for $200 each after $1K loss, which it what happened in the first zoo. What makes and keeps them happy?  Thanks.

 

10 min after posting I checked that I had latest version loaded and and yes. Then I discovered in my files I also have a version by John T so I'm going to try one.  I am making Xmas-theme zoo the Large Concrete map used in the "City Needs Help anytime Contest".  Tundra and snowy living animals are in the magical Xmas section so caribou are important.

Some animals can't be made to 100% no matter what and that includes some ingame ones. This might help.
