SimAnimals Africa Cheats

Conjures up a bluish greenish male zebra or a redish pinkish orangish female zebra. Male elephants are a darker pink than females. Not case sensitive, capitalization doesn't matter. Tested and works.

There are many questions in the FAQ about more Cheats and Easter Eggs, so I'll try to answer some here.

There are only TWO known cheats for special animals on the game:

Code for Rainbow Zebra: 45sbyv

Code for Pink Elephant: fcwj6w

Some players have said it may be possible to get more than one Rainbow Zebra / Pink Elephant through breeding. Look through your Encyclopedia for a flower of fruit (or possibly bug) that will make "something special happen" when you feed it to a female before having her mate. I believe this will cause her to have a litter of babies instead of just one. You could try it, you just might get a baby Rainbow Zebra / Pink Elephant!

As for the Lion with a Golden Mane; not sure about this one. My guess is that either you would get a golden mane through the markings they get from training + their natural color (golden color appearance), or from a glitch. On my first profile, I got a very pink-colored female Giraffe (she was the first giraffe in Long Neck Plateau, named Alta). None of her babies ever had a pink color, nor did any of her grandchildren. I never got another Pink Giraffe. I assume this was a glitch. On my third profile, I got a cream/white Giraffe (she came as one of the first adults later, named Nora). One of her children, however, had white coloring as well. That baby grew up and had a white baby of her own - the white coloration continued. This probably meant that the pink coloration was a glitch and the rare white coloration could have been a different glitch or simply part of the game.

Now for the Steak Tree. This one gets a shorter explanation. All you have to do is use a Zebra (he or she does not need to be any level of strength) to kick an Acacia tree in any place that has lions. A steak may fall from the tree with an Acacia fruit. You may not get it right away, just keep trying! Be warned: Do NOT plant the steak in dry soil, they like green grass! I suggest planting it in any place with lions, as long as there is green grass. That way, you can stock up on meat from the tree instead of just feeding the lions Zebras or Gazelles all the time.

Other hints: Animals with Level 2 Strength live far longer than animals with no training. Animals with Level 2 Charm will mate more and have more babies. Therefore, animals that you train to be Level 2 Strength AND Level 2 Charm (which I stupidly call "The Chosen Ones") will: be liked more, have more offspring, find more rare items, live longer (both from outrunning... 

Feeding a steak to a carnivore helps just as much as feeding fruit to zebras and other plant-eaters. Using a level 2 strength Zebra, kick a tree in any of the places where lions live. Some trees work better than others. Steak trees need lush grassy soil to live, so plant in places like Zecora Valley or the Oasis, in bluish-green patches of grass. You don't need a level 2 strength Zebra to get steak off the steak tree. I'm not sure if you can find them where crocodiles live, or if fully-grown steak trees hide any bugs. Try it, and you'll sacrifice less animals to feed to your carnivores!

When I first got the game (spring 2009) I had to make a giraffe level 2 strength/level 2 charm. That same Giraffe only just retired a few months ago (early summer 2010). My level 2 strength gorilla (only charm level 1) retired a little bit after that.

I also discovered that animals with high charm will tend to "mate" more and have more babies!
