How to unlock the Have You Seen this Bloke?! achievement in Zoo Tycoon: Ultimate Animal Collection - Definitive Guide
There doesn't seem to be a guide for this, so let's give it a go!
There are just 4 Australian animals that you can breed. All of them are kangaroos:
- Antilopine Kangaroo
- Eastern Grey Kangaroo
- Western Grey Kangaroo
- Red Kangaroo
You will need to be level 20 to unlock all of these.
I find the best plan of attack (to virtually guarantee a color variant) is to do this:
- Startup a sandbox zoo. Doesn't matter which one.
- If you are not level 20, then just build and upgrade attractions until you are.
- Build 4 large Outback habitats and kit each of them out with a grass-feeding station, a cleaning station, and an enrichment activity.
- Dedicate each habitat to one breed of a kangaroo. Place 3 males and 3 females in them. Make sure that each is at least level 7, or they will not breed.
- Build a level 3 breeding facility. Assign one level 3 staff member, to each of the habitats.
- Build a Zoo Keeper facility and hire 3 Level 3 zoo keepers
- Wait
If you do this, then you will probably have at least 1 variant within 30 minutes or so. You should also receive this one if they all breed (which they will do):
If you double up the habitats (i.e. you have 2 habitats for each breed of kangaroo) then you will guarantee yourself this achievement within an hour:
Remember; if the baby is not the variant you want, sell it. Each habitat should have space for 4 baby kangaroos, so you likely will not need to sell anything before you get all variants, but still. Why take that risk?
Since you won't really need to do much here once you have made the habitats, you can knock these achievements out at the same time:
