I credit my three-year-old for finding this one...

On the first stage, she ran over to the right wall and was moving up and down on it (just randomly moving the joystick). An animal came and I said "Jump", but instead she ran down to the animal, away from the animal, and immediately back towards the animal, and ran through it safely! I did a double-take. Later, I tried the trick on my own, and, sure enough, if you time it just right, you can run up to the animal, away from the animal, then back on through without dying.

Trick doesn't seem to work for the other animals, and I didn't bother to try it for other locations on the screen. Just hadn't seen a post on this before. If this is old news, sorry (not an easy place on this forum to find or post neat tricks like this).

Congrats on the find. I think Zoo Keeper is one of the glitchiest games ever made but people love it.
 
Sounds like its broken. I should probably buy it to save you the future troubles.
 
i've witnessed my wife running through animals, but I was never able to repeat it. have to give this a try

btw, i've had mine for a few months now and am really getting into it. the first time you get all the animals going in the same direction and just kind of hop hop hop the whole rest of the level and decimate your high score, it's really great
