The dl file extension is associated with Zoo Tycoon 2, a simulation and management game published by Microsoft Studios for Windows and Mac OS X. The game lets players build and operate a zoo, including its exhibits, facilities, animals, and staff.
A dl file contains proprietary game data used by Zoo Tycoon 2. Its exact contents depend on the role assigned to it by the game, and it is normally read automatically rather than opened by the player.
A dl file should be kept in the Zoo Tycoon 2 installation or game-data folder. The game reads the file automatically when it needs it.
There is normally no supported program for opening or editing this file independently. Do not rename, move, or edit it if the game is installed and running correctly.
A dl file cannot normally be converted to another format. It contains proprietary data used internally by Zoo Tycoon 2, rather than user-created content intended for export.
To preserve the data, keep the original file with the game installation. Converting it to a different format will not make it usable by the game.
