Pro Strategies to Tame the Wild & Dominate Your Zoo

Outlast the stampede and skyrocket your Sky Zoo:

  1. Start Safe: Buffalo or zebra for beginners – stable rides, easy control.
  2. Timing is Everything: Jump at 80-90% rage bar. Predict bucks by animal type (lions rage fast!).
  3. Chain Jumps: Switch animals fluidly – 7 species in a row unlocks secrets like Trojan Zebra.
  4. Coin Hunt: Smash crates, go far for combos. Prioritize zoo upgrades (habitats to level 8) for passive income.
  5. Unlock Regions: Savannah → Jungle via coins/stamina upgrades. Bosses like Cash Cow spawn post-missions.
  6. Zoo Mastery: New animals = more visitors = faster unlocks. Focus lasso/stamina first.

Beginners: Short runs build skills. Aim for 2000m+ to trigger rares!
