The Superstores Are Here!
Wow your Visitors with Food, Drinks and Souvenirs!
Now you have new options for pampering your guests in My Free Zoo with food, drinks and souvenirs: the superstores are here! There are two types of superstore: gourmet stores and souvenir stores. Each of these is available in three tiers - super, mega and giga stores.
There are two ways to get a superstore:
Option 1: You can buy the superstore for Diamonds straight from the zoo shop.
Option 1: You can trade in existing shops for a superstore.
This is how it works:
You'll need a large shopping mall filled with shops. You can decide, if you would like to turn it into a gourmet store or a souvenir store.
Once you have clicked on your choice, you can remove all decorations, paths and not-relevant shops from your mall with the simple click of a button.
Example:
If you decide to turn your mall into a gourmet store, you'll remove all decorations, wallpapers, paths and souvenir shops, so that food and drink shops are the only thing that remains.
You can then you can transform your store. Depending on how many shops (and they money they could make) you had, your mall will be turned into a super, mega or giga store.
The advantage of a superstore are twofold: You save time because you don't have to collect your ZD income as often and only need to click one pin and they use up significantly less space than a mall.
You can find detailed instructions with everything you need to know in the game. Stop on by and discover the possibilities!
Super Twin Week!
Your Zoo might as well be an aquarium with all the animals currently playing around in their watering holes. Fresh mommies are grateful for the break - they can just doze on a nearby rock with one eye watching the gamboling youngsters. Yep, another Twin Breeding Event has begun with today's patch!
This means that every successful breeding completed* before Wednesday, July 4th, at 10:59 am CEST will grant you twins!
In addition to the two baby animals, all players who breed twins will also receive twice the experience. And if the breeding wasn't successful? All players will receive twice the experience anyway, as a bit of a consolation prize.
For the first timer ever, you can also enjoy the benefit of 50% off of fertility feed! Significantly increase the chance of getting not one, but two baby animals at an unbelievably low price!
Please note: The experience bonus is already calculated into the pop-up display that appears for your information after a successful breeding.
*Breedings must complete during the event period; breedings that were started during the event will not result in twins once the event expires.
World Cup Event
Dear Zoo Directors,
"In Soviet Russia, country comes to you!" Football fever is rampant in the zoo, and you can now get a closer look at the World Cup's host country in this year's World Cup Event!
For the duration of the event, you'll find the seasonal section of your shop stocked with impressive Russian landmarks and international banners - use them to show your enthusiasm for your team and this year's enchanting host country!
Each World Cup decoration you place in your zoo will give you points in the form of Footballs at regular intervals. Just click on the pin that appears above them to collect your Footballs.
One special decoration - the King's Gate - will instantly give you 7,500 Footballs when you charge it for 10 Diamonds.
You can click on this icon at the right side of your playing field to see your progress. Collecting enough Footballs before the event ends on July 11 at 10:59 am CEST will allow you to earn 3 awesome animals for your zoo!
You can also help out your friends by sending pieces of two exclusive World Cup friendship gifts!
Prizes include two former prize animals, the Arapaima and the Kea, as well as a brand-new animal, the Raccoon Dog!
50,000 Footballs - Arapaima
100,000 Footballs - Kea
200,000 Footballs - Raccoon Dog
400,000 Footballs- Arapaima
600,000 Footballs - Kea
750,000 Footballs - Raccoon Dog
While bearing an uncanny resemblance to raccoons, the Raccoon Dog is actually a canine. Native to Eastern Asia - its Japanese name (tanuki) is also quite popular - it was introduced to parts of the Soviet Union between 1928-1958. It is now abundant in large parts of Eastern Europe. Raccoon Dogs are good fathers, helping the females raise their litters. In your zoos, these furry bandits will feel most comfortable in forest and ice enclosures, where they take up six fields of space and can be kept in groups of ten.

Serengeti Collection
Dear Zoo Directors,
Summer's here, and while the lions and antelopes are busy scratching at pesky flies, we bet you're itching for a challenge! We have just the thing for you: the all-new Serengeti Collections!
Just like previous collections, you'll find these new challenges in the "Animal Collection" tab of the achievement menu (the trophy/250 in the main menu bar):
There are two challenges, Serengeti Beginner and Serengeti Specialist. You want details? Then have a look at the spoiler!*
Missing some of the required animals? Keep an eye out for some hot deals!
Each of these tasks rewards a Kirk's Dik-Dik - a brand new animal for your Serengeti Region!
Weighing at most just over 7kg, Kirk's Dik-Dik is the largest of the Dik-Diks, the world's smallest antelopes. These quaint nocturnal creatures are well-adapted to their hot and arid habitat. Their large ears and strange snout help them keep cool, and they make sure to always eat the juiciest plants to stay hydrated!
These tiny ungulates can be kept exclusively in Serengeti (or Serengeti breeding) enclosures, which limits them to being kept in the Serengeti and the Zoo d'Amour, which can be unlocked through the Zoological Society.
Enjoy the game!

They eat mostly fruits and insects, but can also eat other plant parts and small vertebrates. In your zoo, it can be kept in forest and jungle enclosures, where it will feel right at home in groups of up to 12. Each one needs six units of space.

Zoological Time Traveling!
The Natural History Museum and the Zoological Society have teamed up to create a place for all those Museum animals you've brought back from extinction: the all-new Prehistoric Park region!
The Prehistoric Park is a brand-new region that allows you to created mixed species exhibits in a magnificent prehistoric setting.
In addition to allowing you to create unique enclosures with mixed communities of extinct animals, the Prehistoric Park will attract significantly more visitors. There are also special decorations for your Prehistoric Park (some for enclosures, some for outside) as well as themed stalls so your visitors can enjoy a real blast from the past!
Unlocking the Prehistoric Park
To gain access to the Prehistoric Park, you must have a Zoological Society in your zoo. This building grants you access to regions with special properties, such as the the Zoo d'Amour, the Serengeti, and the new Prehistoric Park.
To unlock the Prehistoric Park, you must first complete some prerequisite tasks:
- Breed 10 Dodos
- Breed 10 Woolly Mammoths
- Breed 10 Smilodons
- Breed 10 Ankylosaurus
Note: You can skip this task for 290 Diamonds (or less, if you've already completed some of it), but this will only skip the prerequisite. You will not get any baby animals, nor will you get credit for achievements that involve breeding these animals. You are only paying to skip the prerequisite!
Once these tasks are complete, you can unlock the Prehistoric Park for either 40,000,000 ZD or 175 Diamonds.
Expanding and Populating the Prehistoric Park
Your Prehistoric Park starts out with a size of 20x20 fields with a number of obstacles that need to be removed to make room for enclosures. Some of these cost Diamonds to remove.
Of course, there are also a number of expansions for the region unlockable for either Zoo-Dollars or Diamonds. Animals in the Prehistoric Park require special Prehistoric Park enclosures, which can be purchased in the shop while in the Prehistoric Park. While regular space limits apply, there is no herd limit within Prehistoric Park enclosures, allowing you to keep impressive herds of mammoths!
At time of release, the Prehistoric Park can be home to the following species: Haast's Eagle, Moa, Quagga, Giant Ground Sloth, Thylacine, Woolly Rhinoceros, Dodo, Glyptodon, Triceratops, Ankylosaurus, Bear Dog, Deinotherium, Terrorbird, Woolly Mammoth, Quetzalcoatlus, Smilodon, Paraceratherium, Tyrannosaurus
Breeding in the Prehistoric Park
As breeding in mixed species enclosures is too stressful for the animals, breeding animals in the Prehistoric Park requires special breeding enclosures, in which you can only keep a single species. These can be purchased in the shop and outfitted with prehistoric breeding equipment (watering hole and habitation).
