Terrain

“Life is like a landscape. You live in the midst of it but can describe it only from the vantage point of distance.”

— Charles Lindbergh

Terrains can be purchased from the main Shop window under the Decorations tab, where they have their own Terrain Backgrounds tab featuring a star and a small stream.

Like paths, all terrains are sold in lots of 10 and can only be removed with the Remove Terrain tool, sold in the same location as terrains.

The water terrain was the first of its kind in My Free Zoo, introduced in September 2013, and is unique among terrains in a number of ways:

• Water terrain is purchased with Zoo Dollars;
• Only specific water decorations may be placed on water terrain;
• Removed water terrain is lost forever.

All other types of terrain have somewhat different properties:

• Non-water terrains are purchased with Diamonds;
• Plants, decorations, enclosures, paths and other such items may be placed on top of non-water terrains;
• There are no terrain-specific decorations associated with non-water terrains;
• Removed non-water terrains are returned to inventory.

All terrains have the potential to greatly enhance the attractiveness of any zoo. Creative zoo directors with a few extra Diamonds to spend will have a lot of fun incorporating terrains into their zoo layout.
