Map 9: Geographical Zoo
This zoo map has 5 areas of6 spaces each. Each of these areas is color coded toa specific continent.
At the start of the game, place 1 player marker each on the 5 spaces that belong to those areas.
These spaces are also color coded to the continent and have a black outline of the respective continent
on white ground next to it.
~ .4ll.il Example: Continent area
This is the Africa area.
At the beginning of the game,
place 1 player marker on the yellow
space on the bottom with the Africa
outline next to it. Do the same for
each of the other 4 areas.
When you play an animal into your zoo and at least 1 space of the enclosure you put the animal in
is in the area belonging to the same continent as the animal, then you may remove the player marker
from that continent area and get one of the 5 bonuses depicted. Put the marker back into your supply.
It does not matter whether the enclosure is a standard enclosure or a special enclosure.
You can gain the bonus once per continent icon/area. If you have already removed the player marker
before, you cannot gain the bonus for this continent again.
Each time you gain a bonus, you can choose any 1 of the 5 bonuses. So you can take the same bonus
multiple times during the game.
When you remove the 5th and final player marker, you gain 1 Conservation point in addition to the bonus
you get.
Special cases:
Flock Animal:
When you take this bonus on the left side of your zoo map, you can remove any 1 player
marker from 1 of the 5 continent areas (without having to play a matching animal).
Gain 1 bonus as usual (plus 1 Conservation point if this was the 5th and final player
markeryou removed).
When using the Flock Animal ability, you cannot gain a continent bonus (because you do
not use a specific enclosure).
Reptile House and Large Bird Aviary:
When you build this special building and move an animal from a standard enclosure into it, you can gain
the continent bonus if the animal moved shares a continent symbol with an area this building is in.

~ Digging 1: Choose up to 1 x: EITHER discard 1 card from the display and replenish OR discard
1 card from your hand and draw 1 other from the deck.
If the discarded card is an animal card (except for a Petting Zoo animal@), you may slide it underneath
your zoo map from the top, at one of the 3 slots marked by an O that does not have a card yet, so that
only the top of the card is visible. The animal counts as "in your zoo"from that moment on and triggers
any other card that looks for icons or animals being played into your zoo. Ignore the rest of the card.
That means you do not gain any effects from the animal card itself.
If you gain Digging through another card, for example an animal card, you cannot also place the
discarded card under your zoo map.
You can have upto 3 cards at the top of your zoo map. If you gain the bonus more than 3 times, for
example because of Sponsor card 221, Archaeologist, you cannot replace one of the cards with a new
card. In that case you can only use Digging 1.
You do not need to fulfill any conditions depicted on the animal card. You do not need to pay the
money cost. The animal card does not need an enclosure. Any enclosure requirements still count
as in your zoo (since they are also icons).
If the animal card is a large or small animal, it also counts as such in your zoo.
You may not release the animal into the Wild.
Example: Rescue Station
As the first card of the game, you play the Spotted Hyena Compound and place its unique building in a way that it
covers one of the ij bonuses. You use that bonus to discard the Sumatran Tiger card from the display and slide it
under your zoo map at an open slot marked by an 0-
That counts as playing a predator icon into your
zoo and triggers the ability of the Compound. You
get to use the ability twice, once for the Compound
itself and once for the Sumatran Tiger. Both
times, you get to use "Hunter 2" because you have
2 predator icons in your zoo, 1 on the Compound
and 1 on the Tiger card.
Until the end of game, the predator, Asia, and the
2 water icons on the Sumatran Tiger card count as
being in your zoo. The Sumatran Tiger also counts
as 1 large animal in your zoo.
• Each time you play a predator icon into your zoo,
reveal the topmost X cards of the deck. Add 1 Animal
card to your hand. Discard the other cards.
(X =number of your predator
icons) (Hunter X).
IIP~ce next toat least
1 rock space.
