This guy used to have an awesome channel called Bottom Shelf Board Games. I wondered why that channel fizzled out... Great tutorial!

The top left square is empty when he says the board is completed

At 4:10, when talking about animal acquisition, this video differs significantly from the printed English rules. Firstly, the video heavily implies left-to-right selection of the two animals ("you may take the second of the animals depicted" pointing to the right-hand one) which is not required by the rules, one or both can be taken in any order. Secondly, the rules offer an alternative choice of taking "any 1 animal of your choice", making any one of the 5 in the supply, (according to posts on BGG) not limited to one of the two pictured. Why is this not mentioned at all?

[@PRC533]

Woah, that's a massive difference. The video explicitly says you can only choose from the two depicted animals. I wonder if this was a post-launch rules change?

[@pierrewhite2062]

Thank you

[@rafaeluryayev7174]

The rules never clarify whether or not you are allowed to put animals into an enclosure that has been "scored". Does anyone know what the rule is?

[@PRC533]

Yes, it's still an enclosure just like all the others. The scoring just gives you access to the attractions.

[@Spelpojken]

Great teach.

What is that giant green field on the left for?

[@capstonegames]

Just for show. There are different sized zoos depending on the player count. The green space fills the space.
