The Zoo is now available to breed more animals in FarmVille! Harvesting the animals inside the Zoo counts towards Animal Mastery! And guess what? More animals in your Zoo means more chances of finding new Animal Mystery Babies! Build your Zoo and start growing these cute little animals today!

The Zoo is the third of seven total new breeding buildings to be released.

Farmers with an Animal Trough will receive a message to replace it with a new Zoo, Pet Run or Wildlife Habitat. But do not fear, the Zoo, the Pet Run, Wildlife Habitat, and other forthcoming breeding pens will offer you even more opportunities to claim Animals!


Breeding your Zoo Animals:

You can breed a wide variety of Zoo animals, such as giraffes, peacocks, flamingos, jaguars, kangaroos, lions, penguins, tigers, zebras, bears, coyotes, foxes, grizzlies, panthers, wolves, and elephants.

Note: Animals that qualify for the Zoo do not currently include pheasants, quails, and turkeys for example.

You don’t need pairs of animals to find a Mystery Baby; you just need one of any particular Animal in your Zoo to have a chance of finding its Mystery Baby upon harvesting the Zoo!

Placing the Zoo:


You will need the following Building Materials to complete your Zoo:

- 10x Wrench
- 10x Shrub
- 10x Pipe

There are three ways of obtaining Building Materials:

- Free Gifts Tab – Send a Free Gift to friends to help them with their building
- Click on green button “Ask for Part” – Send requests for parts to any friend once every four hours
- Click on the green button “Complete Now” – Use Farm Cash to complete Building immediately

This is what your Zoo will look like once it’s completed:


Upon completing your Zoo, you will receive one free Elephant:


You can store up to 20 animals in each Zoo that you own. Like Orchards, you can have more than one Zoo on your farm and can choose which Zoo you would like to use to store a specific Zoo animal.

Clicking on the Zoo gives you the option to:
- Look inside
- Apply Instant Grow
- Move
- Sell


You can view all your current animals inside your Zoo, including Animal Mastery status and quantity, when selecting the “Look Inside” option. You can also use Animal Instant Grow which will be applied to all animals inside the Zoo:


Animals that are qualified for the Zoo but are not placed inside the Zoo (whether you own these animals or not) appear translucent:


Some animals are only available from the Market, while others are available from your friends. (Some animals will not be available at this time, but stay tuned as they may make a comeback in the future!) When looking Inside the Zoo, the Mystery Babies that are available from Friends will have a small sunshine indicator when rolling your cursor over the animal. So keep an eye on your Newsfeed for Animals Mystery Babies from your friends!

The Mystery Babies that you can claim from your friends can include:
- Rare Mystery Babies: The Rare Animals Mystery Babies have blue baby baskets and include previous Limited Edition items (but only ones worth less than 15 Farm Cash) and Common Mystery Game items.
- Common Mystery Babies:The Common Animals Mystery Babies have yellow baby baskets and include previous Coin animals, Lonely Animals, and Quest rewards.

Note: The information above applies only to Mystery Babies you claim from your friends! Any Mystery Baby that you find in your own Zoo will grow up to be just like one of the animals that was in your Zoo at the time of harvest! (To qualify to create a Mystery Baby, an animal must be in the Zoo from before 10% harvest progress until the Zoo is harvested.)

Harvesting your animals inside the Zoo:

You will see a pink arrow above the Zoo once it’s ready for harvest and an orange illumination around when hovering over:


When you harvest your Zoo for coins and Animal Mastery, you have a chance to find a Mystery Baby! The more animals inside your Zoo, the better your chances of finding a Mystery Baby upon harvest. When you find a Mystery Baby, you’ll have the option to share an extra one with your friends!


Keep a lookout in your Newsfeed for Mystery Babies that you can claim from your friends!
You don’t need pairs of animals to find a Mystery Baby from your own Zoo; you just need one of any particular animals in your Zoo to have a chance of finding its Mystery Baby upon harvesting the Zoo!

When you don’t find a Mystery Baby upon harvest, you will find coins and Animal Feed, which you can share with your friends!



Mystery Baby Animals:

Mystery Babies grow up into rare or common animals; the color of the baby basket will tell you which is which: blue baby baskets are rare, and yellow baby baskets are common.

When you find a Mystery Baby after harvest, you will be able to place the little baby on your farm. There will be a green illumination hovering over open areas on your farm:



After placing your new little baby on the farm, you will have five options:

- Complete Now – Use Farm Cash to complete animal immediately
Feed Baby (requires Animal Feed)
- Ask For Feed – Post your request to the Newsfeed where your friends can click the post and help send you Animal Feed
- Move
- Sell

When selecting “Ask For Feed”, you can ask your Friends to send Animal Feed. You will need 10 or 30 Animal Feeds to complete your baby, depending on whether the baby is common or rare:


You will be notified once your baby has grown up into an adult. Any Mystery Baby that you find in your own Zoo will grow up to be just like one of the animals that was in your Zoo at the time of harvest!

Don’t forget: To qualify to create a Mystery Baby, an animal must be in the Zoo from before 10% harvest progress until the Zoo is harvested.



When trying to move an animal, the appropriate Zoo will illuminate in blue and then you can place inside:


Featured Animals:

The last three animals placed inside your Zoo will be featured after exiting the “Look Inside” option:


We hope you enjoy breeding a greater variety of animals and continuing to collect your Animal Mastery signs!


Happy breeding, Farmers!
