Switch Zoo Online features rich, multimedia content that has larger file sizes than text-based Web pages. If you are using a dial up connection, you will probably experience a long initial download time after clicking the "Make New Animals" button.

Please be patient and wait for the zoo entrance to appear. You may see a blank, white screen for up to 30 seconds, depending upon your connection. Then you will be able to read interesting animal facts during the rest of the download (up to 90 seconds). After the wait, you will have lots of fun making animals!

In the zoo, if an animal transition plays slowly, let it finish playing once then choose it again to see it play in real time. Click the "Make New Animals" button on the home page to begin!

To avoid the long download time, you could get the Switch Zoo app.
