Safety Warning

About Photosensitive Seizures

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain
visual images, including  ashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even
people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition
that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games.

These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered
vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation,
confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of
consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking
nearby objects.

Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symp­toms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—
children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures.

The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following
precautions:

• Play in a well-lit room.

• Do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.

If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor
before playing.

Creating Marine Exhibits

For step-by-step instruction on building a marine exhibit, see the

interactive Marine Mania tutorials.

In-Ground and Above-Ground Tanks

Unlike for land exhibits, in marine exhibits you can
control the height of the tank walls and the elevation
of the bottom, allowing you to create a variety of
tanks for different sizes of animals.

After you place the tank, you can raise and lower

the tank walls and tank base using the Modify Tank
tab on the Exhibit Information panel, which you can access by clicking the
tank’s platform.

Draining Tanks

Tanks are filled automatically when you create an exhibit. If you need to
drain the tank, click Drain/Fill Tank on the Exhibit Information panel.

Salinity

Marine exhibits have a few more variables to keep track of than other exhibit
types. Although the water defaults to salt water, you can drain the tank and
refill it with either salt water or fresh water.

Marine Specialists

Your zookeepers are great for elephants and tigers, but
they’re in over their head when dealing with the special
needs of marine life. You can hire marine specialists from
the same place you hire zookeepers and other zoo staff,
on the Hire Staff panel.

Creating Marine Exhibits

Filtration

You need to keep clean water in your tanks—dirty water will
make your animals unhappy. Purchase tank filters by clicking the
Fences tab on the Construction panel. Marine specialists also

clean tanks, but it keeps them from other tasks, like running shows.

Remember that your filters can break down. If you see one sitting idle,
get a maintenance worker on it right away.

Combined land and water exhibits

One of the advantages of Marine Mania is that not only can you create tank
exhibits for marine-based creatures, but you can add a tank exhibit portion
to a regular land exhibit for any animal that enjoys a good swim. Construct
combined exhibits by building a tank exhibit adjacent to or within an existing
land exhibit, making sure the animal can get into the water. But make sure
that your animals can’t climb out the other side of the tank and escape!

Hiring the Appropriate Staff Member

In Marine Mania, you’ll notice that some animals and dinos who love
water require zookeepers or scientists to care for them instead of marine
specialists. Refer to the following table to determine which staff member
you should hire to care for each animal.

Emperor Penguin
Hippopotamus
