How do people even get the new challenge animals?

Am I missing something here? The game is a week old.. how do people get gorrila's etc during a weekly challenge? Last week I was only able to buy Bengals trough conservation points and this week the gorrila's are far out of my reach... 2000 conservation points per ape minimum :(

I am just wondering how do people even get them in the first place if they are never up for normall cash. Hopefully my question is understandable... :p

I personally have around 15k conservation credits atm. I managed to get two gold-rated Galapagos Tortoises and got around 20 gold offspring off them which I eventually sold for like 200 CC. Besides that I sold all the bengal tigers I got for around 300-600 CC depending on the rating. Before I knew it I was in 5 digits CC...

I'm going to play again tonight to get the gorilla challenge done, I'll put some of my offspring up for like 300CC so keep an eye out for them :)
I agree that it's stupid that people are selling them for 1500~2000 CC... It's supposed to be a community challenge but people see it as a personal profit challenge..

Thanks for your fast reply. I still wonder how people get them in the first place? Like where do the "adam and eva" even come from? Did they buy it with conversation points aswell? But from who? The game is new... I just wonder where these "rarer" animals even come from. As said, never seen them up for sale by the "planet zoo" like the cash animals usually are sold from.

Frontier ('Frontier Zoo') puts up animals every now and then. They're doing that for the gorrila's as well. People buy those, breed them to higher qualities and then sell them. :)
Frontier puts them up for cash or CC depending on the animal. Rarer animals like the Giant Panda are CC only.

And does Frontier Zoo sell the rarer species for conservation credits awell? Or dollars? :p. Sorry for all the questions. It feels like I am doing something wrong. I had 2 golden Bengal Tigers yet they only breeded once despite everything was 100%. Im trying to keep my head above water here... Had hoped to sell them. But the only thing I can do is hope for offspring so my park doesn't die out of the animals I have. And now they start losing fertillity cuz apperently I am imbreeding. sigh... I would buy new bengals... but no conversation credits XD...

Frontier Gorillas are posted all the time for ~300-700CC; easy to get if you refresh the market for a short amount of time (I've never seen them sold for cash).

If you don't have enough CC to buy the cheap Frontier animals, you need start with a cheap $ animal and start mass breeding/releasing them for CC.

Yeah, Frontier sells the rares animals as well but usually with pretty crap genetics. If you want to gain some conservation credits, try getting some Galapagos tortoises as I stated. They can get really old, breed regularly and have can have like 9 offspring in one go often..
You'll have to wait a while for them to grow up but I think it's certainly a worthy investment.

I also regularly sell Tapir, they breed fast and grow up pretty fast as well :)

Make your zoo to a puppymill and very soon youll have enough CC to the overprized Gorillas.

Doesnt sound very nice, but it seems to be the only way to take part in this community challenge, if you have earned enough CC in the last week since release.

Thanks everyone. I will be some breeding factory then :( Ugh, guess there is no chance to have a "connection" with my animals... Despite they are pixels I grew rather fond of my golden tigers... But they died. Now stuck wih imbred ty genes ones... but had no choice xD. I hate it. And I happen to have 2 galapagod habbitats in my greenhouse. They have lots of offspring already like 20.... first batch will grow mature soon :)

Make a 35 Habitat zoo with 300+ animals and then close/delete it.
I got 80k CC now, albeit i guess i don't need them anymore.

Personally I prefer lions over tigers for farming CC as you can put multiple females in an enclosure. There's huge amounts of lions on the market (73 pages last I checked) so you should be able to get something with decent stats decent pretty cheap. I would recommend breeding lions, wild-releasing for CC and buying frontier gorillas to wild release for the event; gorillas are just painfully slow to breed.

Oh damn why did you close it down?

Oh well it was my first zoo i put my first 100 hours into and i was trying to save it, despise it uglniess, but its not possible with this broken managment part.
I am fed up with the broken animal food cost system.
On my big zoo i tried it 5 years now, my expanses and income was stable, with exeption of the animal food.
year 1: 202.500 $
year 2: 195.300 $
year 3: 335.000 $
year 4: 245.000 $
year 5: 352.000 $

That bullcrap is not worth my time or nerves anymore.
(could have maybe played another 5-10 years before bankrupty i suppose)

I have a small zoo, build only for mass-breeding and strikly efficient that makes profit each year.
My profit the last 5 years was:
25.400 $
62.400 $
46.000 $
18.500 $
72.000 $

Guess what causing the jumps? Yep, animal food.
I did freaking nothing but let the time run fast forward.

This is gambling, it is impossible to keep a huge, well build zoo stable that cares for its animals.

edit: performance was not much of a problem most of the times, had 8500 visitors at peaks
fps went low from time to time, but it was bearable

I dont wanna imagine the performance (fps) of a 35 exhibit zoo and all those visitors. Must feel like a freezing slideshow...

I'm with you on that one, I tend to keep 3-4 enclosures per zoo max as the guests are just too annoying over ~2.5k (and capping them isn't an option when you need their donations).

Well, my small zoo has 9 enclosures and 3000 visitors now.
There i have no problems at all.

i7.7900, rtx 2070, 32 GB ram
So not bad, but also not top high end.

Get some lions. They breed like nothing else for me atleast. Then sell or just realese. You get 600-800 for each lion when you release it.
