## Gameplay

### Tour possibilities

With the addition of this expansion pack, the player can create jeep tours through the zoo's exhibits. The new sky tram routes allow the guests to get a bird's eye view of the animals. Wooden and rock elevated walkways can be built over exhibits and large bodies of water, allowing visitors and players alike to walk right above the exhibits. These even allow food courts to be built above enclosures. Both the elevated paths and sky trams will give the guests a good view of the animals, while still keeping their privacy levels content, creating a win-win situation.[2]

There are also conservation areas that the landmarks are protected. No buildings, scenery, paths, fences, shelters, roads, foliage or biome changes are allowed to be put in there. However, animals can be put there.[1]

### Enhancements

Endangered Species introduces some updates. Players can set the water in Zoo Tycoon 2 reflective by changing water detail to "very high". Animal models and skins are more realistic than the onesfrom the original game. There is also an addition of new animal sounds that can be heard as the player goes around the zoo.[3]

### Animals

Endangered Species contains 20 brand new animals from various countries and habitats. The expansion focuses on endangered and critically endangered animals like orangutans, Javan rhinoceros, Florida panther, and Giant sable antelope. However, other animals are included that are 'lower risk' and 'vulnerable' as well. It updates most of the animal behaviors; basic herding behaviors were added and animals cannot breed with their siblings, parents or grandparents.[4]
