How do I make combinations using the hiding animals? (Available in Switch Zoo app)
Click these arrows |
|
in
the zoo |
For example, the sheep is hiding in the zebra scene. To use it in a combination, go to the zebra and choose the bear head. You will see the sheep in passing.
When the bear head has finished changing, you can click back to the sheep by using the left arrow on the fence. Use the right arrow to click in the other direction and select the exact image you want to use. Once you have stopped on the sheep head, you can select different legs and tails in the usual way to make new combinations. For more information read How to Play.

How can I print pictures of the animals I make?
1) Click the Photo button on the fence.
2) The Photo Workshop will open, where you can name the picture and add a story if you wish, by using the buttons on the upper right. Instead, you can choose to add the zoo's facts to your picture, or no text at all if you prefer.
3) Click the PRINT button on your browser (the button looks like a printer). You can also make a postcard using your animal picture. Just click "Make Postcard" to bring your picture to the Postcard Maker where you can add a graphic greeting and send an e-mail to a friend.
Everything looks fine on the screen but when I print a picture, the entire image is flipped upside down and backwards. What's the problem?
Your browser needs to be updated so it is fully compatible with Flash Player 6 or greater. Please update your browser from the manufacturer's site (Microsoft, Netscape, etc.). After updating, close the browser program and then launch it again to use the new version.
What is your rating? Are you 'kid safe'?
Switch Zoo is rated with the Internet Content Rating Association, and SafeSurf. It has the best 'kid safe' rating, 0000.
Depending upon your Internet connection, you may experience some long wait states when you play at Switch Zoo. The site uses fairly large pictures and animations, so it works best when played on a broadband connection. Also, heavy traffic will slow it down, so if the site is too slow try visiting at another time of the day.
If your Internet connection is too slow for you to have any fun, please consider buying the Switch Zoo app. It has pictures and animations that are nearly 80% larger than the online version, and extra features like My Switcheroos and the Randomizer. And it plays great on your computer regardless of your Internet connection because you don't need to go online to play.

You are probably viewing it on an 8 bit monitor. Switch Zoo can be played on a 16 bit or 32 bit monitor, but 8 bit monitors do not have enough colors to display it correctly.
To find out if your monitor is capable of a 16-bit
display:
On Windows: Go to Start/Settings/Control
Panel and double-click the Display icon. Select
the Settings tab, and open the drop-down menu
called Colors. Select "High Color (16 bit)" or "True
Color (32 bit)" if available.
On Macintosh: In the Apple menu, choose Control Panels, then select Thousands or Millions in the Color Depth setting.
