Planet Zoo 2 animals
136 species, four enclosure types, and the values that decide whether a habitat works: barrier, space, temperature, terrain and group limits.
Everything on the animal pages comes from the official Zoopedia records captured on 17 October 2026. Where the game publishes a number, it is on the page; where it does not, the page says so.
