Notes and Things to Try Before Resorting to this Walkthrough:
============================================================
Red herrings galore. You won't need all the items that you'll come across. Do these
commands first time for every room as you explore: L AROU = look around, LIST = listen. Read all
the signs. Draw a map as you go - this is a HUGE zoo!

Red Herrings:
============
There were several other items you may find in this game that does not accrue points, making them
completely useless. Nevertheless, using some of them has amusing consequences...
What to do with the 2P:
======================
To find a two-pence, go to the llamas at the camel enclosure. From your hut go: n, w, s, s, s, e,
n, e, say minter (yes, as in Jeff Minter!), (the llamas go crazy) get 2p. Now go to the phone booth
(which rings on occasion -- a cute sound effect): w, s, e, e, e, n, in, insert 2p
What to do with the 50P:
=======================
To find a 50p, go to the chinese goose in the children's zoo From your hut go: n, w, s, s, w,
w, w, say boo, get 50p. From there, go to the photobooth: e, e, e, s, e, e, e, e, n, in, insert
50p
What to do with the fish:
========================
To find the fish, go to the aquarium. From your hut go: n, e, e, e, s, s, s, s, s, s, s, w, w, w,
s, s, w, get fish. Now go to the penguin pool: e, n, n, e, e, e, n, n, n, w, w, throw fish
