zoo keepers-try to place food on water.

[mrspiggy]

Does anyone know why zoo keepers try to place food on water instead of on land??? I'm using the Super Hack, does this have anything to do with it. My swans are starving because the keepers won't place food on land unless I pick them up and move them to land.

Yeah, that's the one thing about the Superhack that can be irritating. Since they can stand on water, it makes them think they are on land, so they try to place it there. When I'm using it, I try to put all the land area for animals like the sea lion all together. If they keep swimming and 'not' placing the food, pick them up and place them right inside the gate. They will take a few steps and try to place food. Once it's down, you can wrap fence around it to make it's own exhibit. Place the keeper at the gate again and he will place more food. Once you get several groups of food, remove the fences and you have enough to last for a while. I learned this little trick from Aqua Dragon, who later became something else.... can't remember. Sure would love to see her visit again.
