Originally released: September 2003
Updated July 20, 2026 by Jay and includes some changes made by Jordan in 2007. This was updated to prevent the animal from disappearing sometimes when rotating a zoo, to make the sound file smaller without changing how it sounds, to have the sound play as often as intended, to adjust the spacing and punctuation in the animal info and animal tooltip, to have images without backgrounds for the animal list window, to allow the animal to appear in the purchase menu for the MM Kid's Map and zoos based on that, to have the preferred object tooltip match the preferred object image, to have females move at the same speed as males, to give ZT more time to check if a tranquilizer dart hit an escaped animal, and to remove duplicate images and unnecessary files and configuration lines.
