IMG has posted a preview of Aspyr's upcoming zoo simulation, Zoo Tycoon. Here's a clip from the preview:

Zoo Tycoon, like most titles of its type, is broken up into two main game types. The first type presents players with a set of increasingly difficult scenarios to complete. Usually limited to a specific time frame, the objectives contained within the scenarios can range from the successful upkeep of several exhibits to the raising and breeding of giant pandas. Also included in the scenario listing are a set of tutorials for those that would rather not read the instruction manual.

The second game type is the freeform type. As its name suggests, this mode allows players complete freedom in which to make their zoos. Players can choose a starting map from a wide variety, including a jungle lagoon, arctic maze, and desert pyramids. The amount of starting cash is also completely adjustable, allowing novices to start out wealthy while affording experts the change to start dirt poor.
