Planet Zoo 2 Animals by Habitat Type

The Zoopedia sorts animals into four enclosure types. Picking the wrong one is the most expensive mistake in a new zoo, so start from the enclosure type you can afford to run — space, filtration and staff differ between them.

FAQ

FAQ

Common questions about this topic.

Which habitat type should a new zoo build first?

Terrestrial habitats are the cheapest to run: no filtration, no airlocks and simpler staffing. Aquariums add filtration and water chemistry; aviaries need covered structures; exhibits are the smallest and most budget-friendly.

Can one species use several habitat types?

The Zoopedia flags each species with its enclosure types; where more than one is listed, either works.
