The player is tasked with creating a zoo, and fulfilling requests from various visitors, investors, conservationists, and corporations. Occasionally, you'll get messages called Critical Choices that require you to select one of two options before continuing, and depending on your choice, you'll be rewarded with money, morality points, or new animals. Then things get weird. How you run it is up to you: you can create a sustainable farm powered by wind turbines, or a polluted industrial complex where you kill your animals to make products from them. Either way, you can also create hybrids using gene-splicing.

!!This game contains examples of:
!!!Base Game
* AliensStealCattle: One newspaper article is about flying saucers abducting cows from a zoo.
* AnimalGenderBender: Animals don't have sexual dimorphism, meaning you can have (for example) male "cows" with udders or hens that look like roosters.
* ArtificialMeat: The improbable lab turns beetroots into fake meat that's indistinguishable from the real thing.
* BlackComedy: The newspaper articles that pop up when you reach certain milestones contain a lot of jabs at corporate greed, such as the CEO of a power corporation complaining about renewable energy because it means less money for them.
* CartoonPenguin: The default penguin variant is black and white with a round head and orange beak. Averted with the other variants, though, which look like specific species.
* ConstantlyLactatingCow: Adult cows will produce milk as long as they're in a barn.
* CreatureBreedingMechanic: If you have at least one male and one female animal of the same species in an enclosure, they have a chance to breed with each-other. Usually the offspring will look like one of the parents, but there's a rare chance they'll produce a different variant instead. You can speed this process up using the nursery.
* DeliveryStork: The nursery building has a large sign depicting a stork carrying a package.
* EatsBabies: One of the food options for Komodo dragons is their own offspring.
* FedToPigs: There's a Critical Choice where a crime boss asks if you can dispose of a dead body by feeding it to your animals. Accepting it gives you evil points.
* KarmaMeter: You gain good morality points when you perform certain actions that benefit their employees, their animals, their customers, and the environment, and evil points when you perform actions that harm them. The more points you have in a given side, the more of its facilities you can use.
* MixAndMatchCritters: The CRISPR machine allows you to gene-splice two animal species together to create hybrids with the head of one species and the body of another.
* PaletteSwap: Every animal has 10 variants. While some of them have slightly different base sprites, most of them are recolours of the default.
* PolarPenguins: The penguins in this game prefer to live in Arctic enclosures.
* QuantumMechanicsCanDoAnything: After you buy some double-decker buses, you unlock the quantum accelerator, which bends reality to... add extra seats.
!!!''Dinosaur Island''
* ArtisticLicensePaleontology:
** ''Desmatosuchus''[='=] description calls it a dinosaur, even though it was an aetosaur, a group of archosaurs that are more closely related to crocodilians and went extinct at the end of the Triassic.
** The "pterodactyl" is noticeably less realistic than the other pterosaurs; it's bipedal, and despite the name, looks more like ''Pteranodon''.
* ExtinctAnimalPark: This expansion allows the players to obtain various prehistoric animals; despite the name, it's not just dinosaurs and their contemporaries, because there are various ice age mammals as well.
* FossilRevival: It's explained at the beginning of the campaign that they've discovered a method to resurrect animals from newly-unearthed fossils.
* KidsShowMascotParody: One Critical Choice is from a purple dinosaur named Bernie, who wants to corrupt your zoo with subliminal marketing by selling merchandise there. Accepting his offer is the evil choice.
* MammothsMeanIceAge: Woolly mammoths are most comfortable in Arctic enclosures.
* {{Phonymon}}: One of the Critical Choices about a multi-media franchise called ''[=DinoMonsters=]'', that's about tiny monsters that fit in your pocket, made by someone called Satoshi. The associated image even looks like the original "Who's that Pokémon?" EyeCatch from the English dub of ''Anime/PokemonTheOriginalSeries''.
* ShoutOut: One Critical Choice, called The Builder, is from [[WesternAnimation/BobTheBuilder a client named Bob]]. He talks about using dinosaurs in construction, based on a cartoon he saw, which might be a reference to ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones''.
* SnowySabertooths: The sabertooth also prefers Arctic enclosures.
* TaxonomicTermConfusion: All of the animals in this expansion are referred to as dinosaurs in generic text (eg: when your palaeontologists complete a dig), though this is averted in each species' description.
