Apparently, animals can only eat pre-prepared branches or grass cuttings on the floor. Never heard of grazing, it seems.

Incest is totally okay with your great-great-grandma, because after being a great-grandparent, you are not related to your great-great-grandchildren.

Incest is also OK, if you have two animals of opposite genders with different mothers, but the same father.

People are not only suicidal, but almost invincible. Build an elevated path meters high, over an exhibit, guests somehow fall into enclosure unharmed, then get attacked by the animal(s) inside the exhibit without being killed, then walk away as if nothing happened, whilst those who witnessed the attack run in terror.
Which brings me onto the next point, guests can only be killed by an animal, if the animal happens to be a large theropod dinosaur swallowing them whole, and even then, it's men only, women and child are ignored by said dinosaur.
Okapi's don't need shelters, despite never being happy when it comes to privacy, even when their enclosure consists of three see through fence panels, including staff gate(s), with different elevations (hills, cliffs, ditches, etc) and is absolutely rammed with foliage and rocks, making it pretty much impossible for guests to see anything. Not even having the zoo closed helps to satisfy the okapi privacy issues.
Rampaging dinosaurs can smash through a high voltage, electrified, reinforced steel and concrete fence designed specifically to contain them, but not the zoo boundary, which appears to be nothing more than a simple brick wall.
Javan rhino can be successfully raised and bred in captivity, then again, so can long extinct animals, which can be cloned from fossils which are somehow all buried somewhere in your zoo.
All animals (even harmless ones) can attack guests, but you and your zoo staff can freely enter and exit an enclosure, as if the animal doesn't know you or the staff even exist.
Flamingos have the shortest lifespans of all breed-able animals, they breed once, then die of old age when the baby grows up, sometimes they might produce a second child and die when the second child is still a baby.
Free roaming (ambiant) animals that walk around your zoo, only live for a matter of moments before fading into thin air.
All animals fade into air when they die of old age.

A manatee somehow can spend its entire life underwater without going to the Surface to breathe.

Peafowls breed like rabbits. Expect 20 of them in a few months.

A crocodile can drink from a little bowl of water.

I can keep a Goblin shark in a zoo, no questions asked.

I have learned that it's perfectly reasonable and common to be afraid that a bullfrog is out to murder you sometimes.

You can run and scream for help, but they will find you. Especially if you walk straight back towards them after you're calmed down.

I learned that if you let your animals roam, they will run away and get stuck in a corner, forget where their food is, and get sick every two seconds.
Another thing I learned is that koalas hate anything you do for them, they won't climb up in a tree and sleep for over twenty hours a day, no, they will sit there and look at their eucalyptus and pout that they can't find anything to eat.
And Zoo Tycoon also taught me, that if you let people walk up to a skinny, wooden fence to pet the pretty tigers, it's okay! They can walk around without heads, why not pet a tiger?

You put a banana on the ground, and a chimp can eat it after 10 years later.
You put a insect on the ground, and they never run away, and not a single bug dies.

I learned that:

A T-Rex and a meerkat fit in the same size crate.
Peacocks are the scariest animal ever.
Animals will get pissy if they don't like the color of the grass in their enclosure. (biome in an open air enclosure)
Thompson's gazelles are the best escape artists - they can get out of any enclosure, not matter how deep the pit or how high and electrified the fence.
When it comes to accessing food, animals are dumb and guests are dumber

I have also learned from Zoo Tycoon 2, that once a zookeeper sits down, they ain't ever getting back up.
Zookeepers do not actually take care of the animals.
Because Zookeepers suck in this game, you know you have to feed the animals when it says they are starving.
Endangered animals like Pandas will populate so quickly in your zoo once one baby is born it isn't funny.

I learned that sometimes Giant Ground Sloths like to keep their mouths open after eating or something, wandering around with a "shocked" face

I learned that guests whine about not able to see the animals while standing in line at food court or in middle of wide paths. (I grab those who whine and put them into a flooded cage for them, as a time-out heehee)

No good hero is a one-trick phony.

And animals just know not to attack their keepers, even incredibly dangerous predators.
