My favourite thing about planet zoo players is when they go to irl zoos and take tons of pictures of staff areas and rock formations instead of looking at the animals...
They can be found in South America in grasslands. They are solitary animals and mainly eat ants, worms and plants etc. They are the smallest armadillo species! They are the only species of armadillo whose dorsal shell is not completely attached to its body.
2) Orchid Mantis! ♡
This would such a cute exhibit animal! They are found in tropical forests of South East Asia. They are just such a beautiful insect!
3) Pallas Cat! ♡
They are so fluffy I absolutely love them so much, one of my favourite felines! They live across Russia and many counties in Asia up to altitudes of 5,600m! They have so much fur! They use their tail to help keep them warm! It's so cute!
4) Chinchilla! ♡
I love Chinchillas so much! I have owned them and currently have one and they are such amazing little rodents! They are all so unique and have incredible personalities and are naturally very emotion driven animals! In the wild they mainly live In Bolivia, Peru, and Chile. They live on the rocky mountains at elevations between 9 and 15 thousand feet. I really wish these were added to the Arid pack!
5) Rock Hopper Penguin! ♡
I love these guys! They are so silly! They are one of the smallest penguins. They can be found in Antarctica, Chile and New Zealand. Their beaks start off black but go orange as they age! That would be so cool to see in game!
6) Saola! ♡
These animals are only found in the Annamite Mountains of Laos and Vietnam and are critically endangered. Their horns can reach up to 20 Inches.
7) Satanic Leaf-Tailed Gecko! ♡
I love animals like these are are so cool! These geckos are indigenous to the island of Madagascar! They are solitary arboreal creatures.
8) Leopard Seal! ♡
They are one of the largest seals in the world! They live In the Antarctic and they have an incredibly diverse diet. They have a very impressive bite force.
9) Asiatic Lion! ♡
These cats are just gorgeous! There are only several hundred Asiatic lions in the wild and they only live in the Gir Forest in India. They are smaller than African lions and their manes are darker.
10) Serval!
I love wild cats if you could not tell! They live In Southern Africa. They have really long legs and large ears. They can leap up to 3.6 meters!
For if you are burnt out or don't know what to make! ♡
1) Monkey World! ♡
Create a zoo full with only primates! I got this idea from the Mokey world ape rescue centre in Dorset I use to visit all the time as a kid! It's also incredibly fun to make enclosures for these animals in game!
2) Reptile House! ♡
Create a massive building full of reptiles! This is a fun challenge because it makes you improve on creating buildings as well as utilising exhibits! I also LOVE making habitats for the monitors! You could also add amphibians and insects because in most reptile houses they usually also have them!
3) New Zoo! ♡
Create a zoo in a biome you have never or don't use often and fill it with animals you have never made habitats for! This is a good idea for me personally because half of my zoos are African and I really need to branch out! I make too many enclosures for lions and meerkats! Here are some animals I have never seen someone use in planet zoo!
4) Where are you from? ♡
Make a zoo based on where you are from! Select your country and biome and fill it up with animals that live there! (If you are from the uk like me I suggest just making a European zoo because there isn't many native British animals in game.)
5) Big Cat Sanctuary! ♡
Create a sanctuary or a rescue centre for cats! There are quite a few in the game right now from all around the world! This will help becoming better at mixing themes in one zoo!
For if you are burnt out or don't know what to make! ♡
1) Randomised! ♡
Put all of the animals on a randomiser wheel and spin to get a random animal to add to your zoo! This would be good for learning how to merge different themes together instead of making one single themed zoo!
2) Absurd Zoo! ♡
Make a zoo with all the strange and funny looking animals! This one doesn't really improve building but it is really fun.
3) Bear Sanctuary! ♡
Make a sanctuary/zoo with only bears! They are so cute and for some reason I rarely ever use them!
4) Petting Zoo! ♡
Make a zoo full of animals that allow guests to walk into their habitats! I hope in the future we get a petting zoo dlc but this will do for now!
5) Aviary! ♡
Make a zoo full of only birds! There are few currently in the game but I'm praying they add more! You don't have to actually build roofed aviaries if you don't want to but it would be really fun!
We are going to be getting a Oceania pack with new animals, 200+ building pieces and a career scenario! ♡
Coming out on the 19th September! ♡
Go check out the trailer! ♡
"Introducing the curious North Island Brown Kiwi, the energetic Tasmanian Devil, the sociable Little Penguin, the smiling Quokka and the majestic Spectacled Flying Fox in its Walkthrough Exhibit."
"Build a bright and colourful zoo with over 200 pieces of vibrant scenery inspired by the beauty of the Pacific region. Focusing on natural building materials such as dried leaves, wood, fibres, and weaves alongside patterned heavy carved wooden decorations and colourful flower adornments, their authentic beauty is enhanced by the vivid colours of the land."
"Say ‘Hayo’ to familiar faces! Reuniting again with Bernie Goodwin and Emma, his daughter, try your hand at our brand-new campaign scenario set atop the blissful sun-soaked island that is the Goodwin Family Wildlife Park. Will Bernie be able to let go of the reins whilst you help Emma build the zoo from the ground up, and have you got what it takes to support this family project?"
I am so happy about this pack! It has several of my top wishlist animals! The Tasmanian Devil, Kiwi, Flying Fox and the Quokka are animals I've wanted since I got the game. This pack was made for me fr. Its coming out 3 days after my birthday too! :3
I also can't wait to build with the new volcano rocks and lava pieces. The new path looks amazing as well! I can't wait to make an Oceania zoo when this pack comes put!
What animal is your favourite from this pack? Mine is the Kiwi!
Everyone wants more birds in planet zoo, I've spoken about wanting chilean flamingos, roseate spoonbills, rose-breasted cockatoos etc but here are some more cool birds I would love to get added to the game!
1) Shoebill! ♡
This bird is so impressive! Some people are afraid of it which I kind of understand. They are incredible! They make really loud noises called Bill chattering. They are ambush predators and can stay motionless for hours to catch fish!
2) Secretary Bird! ♡
This bird of prey is found across Africa! They attack their pray by stomping on it which is quite funny to see for the first couple times. They are known for attacking snakes!
3) North Island brown kiwi! ♡
This unique little creature is one of my favourite flightless birds! Kiwis are native to New Zealand. They are also nocturnal!
4) Kakapo! ♡
The Kakapo is the world's only flightless parrot! They eat lots of fruits, flowers, seeds and roots. Another incredible bird from New Zealand! Sadly this bird is engaged thanks to introducing mammals to their Habitat.
5) Mute Swan! ♡
They are just genuinely gorgeous animals and I love them. I use to go to this massive lake as a kid and feed them! I would love to make some really pretty ponds in planet zoo!
6) Atlantic Pauffin! ♡
I have a massive soft spot for puffins because they were my absolute animal when I was a kid. Their appearance gave them the cute nickanme 'Sea parrot'. They mainly breed in Europe. Sadly they are now vulnerable and the population is going down due to a lot of reasons: Climate Change, Overfishing, Pollution, Invasive predators, Humans etc)
7) Toco Toucan! ♡
When I think of a toucan the first thing I picture is the toco toucan with the iconic orange beak! They are such amazing and gorgeous birds I would kill to get these in game! Making a lush tropical aviary would be the most fun I have ever had in planet zoo!
8) Ring-Necked Pheasant! ♡
Pheasants are so pretty! I use to collect their feathers when I would find them as a kid! The males and females look incredibly different! The males have such gorgeous colours! They can fly but they mainly run or walk and only occasionally take flight.
I chose these birds because I feel like they would be an easy start to adding birds and aviaries to the game! ♡
