West African Lions not in market

[Puck G.]

Ive been on the African campaign park for a long time. Im only waiting to buy two west african lions to get the final objective and complete the campaign.

But! They never appear in the animal market....

Sort bye Lions be sure to have CC enabled because lions can't be bought for cash. Click refresh often until your lions appear then buy quickly.

Well i did but they just dont come.


Also, one of my animals was outside their enclosure in a crate to long. But now they cant get it to the enclosure. Just keep dropping it right outside the Quarantine

I would send it to quarantine, it sounds like your people are telling you the animal needs to be quarantined....

Aaaand, I know this thread is like 6 years old, but I'm having the "No Lions on the Market" issue. I keep checking the Animal Market, every time a new month in-game comes, and there haven't been any lions in over 5 in-game years. No exaggeration.

During the career scenarios animals are strictly scripted to control the flow of the game. This means players must constantly watch for animals required in to complete the scenario.
So be sure to check what's coming and prepare ahead of time to purchase, if you can, those required animals early.

Like the OP, I've completed every milestone in the scenario except for the lions.

They came on the market before the cheetahs did, back while I was in the Bronze milestones, when they cost too many CCs to adopt. While in Bronze, I could get the cheetahs, or one lion, but if I got the one affordable lion, I couldn't afford the cheetahs, nor the other lion. So, following the milestone progression as it was presented, I got the cheetahs, and worked through the milestones progression.

They haven't been seen on the market since I was in Bronze, and I've been checking regularly.

At present, my park has a habitat ready for the lions, and I have over 2000 CCs to spend. All other milestones complete. 5-star zoo rating, 5-star education, 5-star conservation rating, etc. These have fluctuated as I've been waiting for the lions to come on the market. Never thought I'd get bored watching my zoo's bank account surpass a quarter million and keep climbing, but I am.

I've been watching, no lions. I've exited the game and reloaded, but they haven't shown up.

Be patient, they will come up again eventually.

Good advice, generally speaking, and thank you for your replies.

At this point in the caldera scenario, my game play for the past several in-game years consists of watching the market for lions, while managing the zoo's ongoing operations. I feel that 6 in-game years watching the market is being patient.

So I started the next scenario, the zoo in Greece. Periodically I'll load that caldera save game to see if the game recognizes I'm ready for the lions, so gimme them already :)

Thanks again.

Ooo! One male lion just showed up, and I snagged it!

[grampers62]

Yeah i would say that's patient!
But it does seem they made the timing a bit too long.

Aaand, the second one showed up a couple of in-game years after that. Gold level finished!
