Strange Zoo

Welcome to Strange Zoo—where peace and quiet never last long!

You start with just a few animals and a modest plot of land. Build enclosures, place feeders, toys, and decorations, care for your animals, and attract your first visitors. Everything is going great… until a tornado sweeps through the zoo, meteors start falling, or a UFO decides to abduct your most valuable animal.

Strange Zoo combines zoo management with dynamic top-down action gameplay. You won’t be watching the world from behind a desk—you’ll run between enclosures, feed the animals, clean up, repair damage, and personally respond to every crisis.

Build a zoo people will line up to visit

Buy new animals, design enclosures, and invest your hard-earned coins in increasingly advanced facilities. A restaurant, education center, laboratory, or observation tower can transform a small menagerie into a world-class attraction.

The larger and wealthier your zoo becomes, the greater the challenges its owner will face.

Over 40 species in your care

From chickens, cats, and alpacas to lions, tigers, gorillas, and exotic fish. Animals have their own needs and behaviors—they grow up, reproduce, and react to the world around them. Buy animals and record unique sounds for them! You can also collect as many as 49 rare animal variants—from black swans and white lions to albino alligators. That’s more than 90 different animals to collect in total!

Every playthrough tells a different story

An AI-controlled event director monitors your zoo’s development and keeps the surprises coming at just the right pace. You’ll encounter both exciting opportunities and genuine disasters:

Fires, storms, earthquakes, tornadoes, meteor showers, UFO visits, veterinary inspections, and fox attacks

Changes in animal market prices

Sponsors, concerts, influencers reviewing your zoo, and other unusual events

Develop your zoo your way

Invest your hard-earned coins in dozens of permanent upgrades. Increase your character’s movement speed, improve food quality, develop your breeding program, hire more efficient employees, and boost ticket revenue. You can also unlock new buildings, equipment, toys, and unique animal variants. Every investment changes how you manage your zoo and prepares it for ever-greater challenges.
