• Species will appear in your park even if you didn’t place them there.
That’s because you have placed something that attracted them.
• Consult the food web to find out who eats what. When you place an
animal, make sure there’s food for it. 
• Watch your populations closely. If a species is spreading too quickly,
you may have to place more of its predators.
• There are two main seasons in Africa: rainy season and dry season.
Many plant species turn brown during dry season. But if a plant,
shrub or tree stays brown through the wet season, it’s probably dead.
• Some animals eat insects, but you can’t place insects in your park.
Insects come with grasses, shrubs and trees.
• You don’t have to watch your park go up in flames. Keep a fire under
wraps by bulldozing or placing water around it.
• Ground devastated by a locust invasion can be cleared up with
the bulldozer.
• Some animals like to herd. If there aren't enough of its species
around to herd with, they'll be less happy.
• Animals need to be able to find food nearby.
• If there are too many animals in a small area, they will be competing
for the same food.
