The keys to a good zoo are healthy animals, entertained guests, and various forms of income.  Give your guests things to do like playgrounds and tours.  You can also do a show with that sea otter .  Bored guests are unpaying guests, and they will leave if they're bored.  As for income, use restaurants, stands, shops, tours, donation boxes, etc.  Guests will leave if they run out of money, so be sure to have plenty of ATMs.

Now for endangered animals to be happy, you just need to supply enough food, shelter, enrichment, and other animals of the same species.  They are needier than other animals, and a couple of them are notorious for being picky (*cough*Giant Panda*cough*Florida Panther*cough).

Hope my guide helped.

Thank-You!
