Microsoft's zoo management strategy game is now available.

Microsoft has announced the release of its latest strategy game, Zoo Tycoon. The game gives players control of a zoo, and they must acquire animals, build habitats, manage the zoo staff, and attract visitors in order to make the zoo a success.

Zoo Tycoon includes both a scenario mode and a free-form zoo-building mode. The game features more than 40 types of animals, including elephants, giraffes, pandas, and tigers. Players must match the appropriate habitat materials and objects to the animals, and they can create arctic, forest, jungle, desert, and other types of environments.
