[. . . ] These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms-- children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. [. . . ] Purchase tank filters by clicking the Fences tab on the Construction panel. Marine specialists also clean tanks, but it keeps them from other tasks, like running shows. If you see one sitting idle, get a maintenance worker on it right away. In-Ground and Above-Ground Tanks Unlike for land exhibits, in marine exhibits you can control the height of the tank walls and the elevation of the bottom, allowing you to create a variety of tanks for different sizes of animals. After you place the tank, you can raise and lower the tank walls and tank base using the Modify Tank tab on the Exhibit Information panel, which you can access by clicking the tank's platform. Combined land and water exhibits One of the advantages of Marine Mania is that not only can you create tank exhibits for marine-based creatures, but you can add a tank exhibit portion to a regular land exhibit for any animal that enjoys a good swim. Construct combined exhibits by building a tank exhibit adjacent to or within an existing land exhibit, making sure the animal can get into the water. But make sure that your animals can't climb out the other side of the tank and escape! Draining Tanks Tanks are filled automatically when you create an exhibit. If you need to drain the tank, click Drain/Fill Tank on the Exhibit Information panel. Salinity Marine exhibits have a few more variables to keep track of than other exhibit types. Although the water defaults to salt water, you can drain the tank and refill it with either salt water or fresh water. Hiring the Appropriate Staff Member In Marine Mania, you'll notice that some animals and dinos who love water require zookeepers or scientists to care for them instead of marine specialists. Refer to the following table to determine which staff member you should hire to care for each animal. Marine Specialists Your zookeepers are great for elephants and tigers, but they're in over their head when dealing with the special needs of marine life. You can hire marine specialists from the same place you hire zookeepers and other zoo staff, on the Hire Staff panel. Zookeeper California Sea Lion Emperor Penguin Hippopotamus Northern Elephant Seal Pacific Walrus Polar Bear Saltwater Crocodile Scientist Deinosuchus Giant Tortoise Plesiosaurus 2 3 CREATING AQUATIC SHOWS For step-by-step instruction on setting up a show, see the interactive Marine Mania tutorials. CREATING AQUATIC SHOWS Adding an Advanced Trick Area Performing animals need a specific area set aside in their show tanks where more advanced tricks are performed. Purchase an advanced trick area by clicking the Show Objects tab on the Adopt Animal panel. Everyone loves seeing a dolphin jump through a hoop or an orca perform a spectacular breach. Marine Mania gives you the ability to have your marine animals perform and make additional money for your zoo. Adding Show Toys Some tricks will only be performed if the animal has the required toy. Purchase toys by clicking the Show Objects tab on the Adopt Animal panel. Toys cannot be placed in the advanced trick area. Constructing a Show Exhibit To set up a marine show, you'll need to construct a show tank where the animals will perform. Show tanks have their own special walls, which you can purchase on the Construction panel just like all other walls in Zoo Tycoon. Show tanks must be constructed alongside an existing exhibit tank--when you construct the show tank, a portal will be placed between the two. The animal will live in its exhibit tank but will swim into the show tank for its scheduled performances. Setting up Performances Now it's time for the script!When you build a show tank, a program will be scheduled automatically. You can adjust the performances for maximum effect using the Show Script panel, accessed by clicking a grandstand or the feeding platform in the show tank exhibit. Remember that you make more money the more shows you have, but it will make your performers unhappy. FREQUENCY Change how often the animals will perform. POTENTIAL BENEFIT Shows how much happier your guests may be with this sequence of tricks. SPECIES Change the species to perform the show. Purchasing a Show Animal Not every animal wants to be a star.

Dinosaur Recovery Team Even the best-laid plans (and fences) sometimes fail. Accidents happen (how else would one of your dinosaurs escape?), and when dinos escape you've got to get them back to their exhibits--quickly!That's where the Dinosaur Recovery Team (DRT) comes in. To capture escaped dinosaurs, purchase a DRT and place it in your zoo. [. . . ]
