Act movement before detail
Start with flying, crawling, hopping, or swimming. Once the room locks onto a habitat, narrow down with ears, tails, or iconic behavior.
Kid tables vs. adult tables
Younger players love recognizable zoo animals. Older groups can handle stranger creatures - still keep them guessable for your specific crowd.
