The character and behavior simulation of archipelago animals in the era of globalization is very interesting when applied to the school children learning and it can be further developed to research about the behavior of endangered species which now they are very difficult to find. With the optimization of the use of behavior-based Genetic Algorithm (GA) in the zoo simulation will provide a diversity of local wildlife movements are optimized in accordance with good range between the minimum and maximum values from a data bank of animal behavior. The range of values from minimum to maximum to will make a difference between the behavior of individual animals within a species is virtual so that it looks natural in a real environment. Keywords: behavior, genetic algorithm, animal, zoo simulation, virtual.
