The Black Bear


Another day rolls on towards the 3rd of May release for Zoo park. We can’t wait for you to play the game! We’ll be sharing some details very soon of an exciting feature that we hope you all will enjoy. But for now, back to our Animal of the day. Today, it’s the Black Bear!



Location: America
Diet: Omnivore
Lifespan: 20 years in the wild
Interesting fact: They are not true hibernators, while they do not eat, drink, or urinate during the winter months, they will awake if disturbed.

We found a video narrated by the legendary  Sir David Attenborough which shows a man who has been feeding bears, now; it’s not recommended to feed black bears because they will return! And as seen in this video, they’ll come back with friends!

The African Elephant


It’s Monday! Which for many people is the beginning of a massive work week, so we've decided what better way to celebrate Monday than to celebrate with the most massivest (yes, that’s not a word) land animal on Earth!? It’s the African Elephant.

Location: Africa
Diet: Herbivore
Lifespan: up to 70 years in the wild
Interesting fact: Never offer to treat an elephant to dinner at a fancy restaurant as they can consume up to 136 kilograms of food in a single day! This does make them one of the more expensive animals to keep in a zoo!

Considering how enormous these creatures are, it’s interesting to see how these creatures take shape from a new-born. Here’s a lovely video documentary series from a wildlife documentary legend!
