Well. Inconsistent then hahaha.
But given that the Asian elephant has been there since the start and we didn't get the PlanCo word for mammoth from the start; I'd say they might be less connected?
Planet Coaster had some dinosaur animatronics I'm pretty sure, wouldn't be surprised at a Flintstone-esque theme in PC2.
It is also the sort of thing you see in zoos for special events, but yeah, not really something people are after here.
It's there as a noun, so it's very much the animal, not just a generic big thing, could also be a companion statue to the dodo I guess.
Guys, I hope the reason for which "we do not want to miss this months episode of Frontier Unlocked" (their words, not mine) is not linked to the release of the physical edition of the game for console players :') I'm not too concerned as all the signs of a new DLC are there but seeing Planet Zoo social media talking about the phyisical edition rather than a new DLC is triggering me.
Tune in for this thrilling preview of opening a case and looking at a disc. It's beautiful, you won't want to turn away.
