Yes. Same.
Planet Zoo 2 Roster Game
- Thread starter CharlieXGaming
- Start date
Essential, mainly because we already have it and it's one of those animals that has to be in PZ2.
Essential. It is a unique, iconic and excellent representation of Oceania. Plus I love their cries and it's one of the animals that was on my wish list. Additionally found in certain zoos such as Le Pairi Daiza
When will we see your ranking?
Tasmanian Devils fall into the essential category for me. Not because I think of them as staple zoo animals (from a world wide perspective) but because even losing one single animal from Oceania would create a hole in the roster. Like South America, Oceania needs just about every animal it has without losing anything in the sequel.
For South America and Oceania it isn’t “one step forward, two steps back” it would be “one step forward, four steps back”.
I’ll admit, even if they aren’t the most charismatic, any South American or Oceanian animal falls into “essential” territory for me.

My placement for the Tasmanian Devil:
This ones a bit tricky - obviously we need to have Australian animals in the base PZ2, but there are so many iconic ones like the Koala and Kangaroo its hard to justify if the devil should make it in with those. I put it in essential cause it feels like an oddball that would fit with the base game but I could totally understand if they save it for deluxe or a DLC later down the line for example an Islands Pack.
Animal #6 - Galapagos Giant Tortoise
Which category does it fit into?
Which category does it fit into?
- Essential for Planet Zoo 2 Base Game
- Save for PZ2 DLCs/Deluxe
- Doesn’t need to make it but sure
- Can be left out entirely
Essential, we should be keeping as many non-avian reptiles (ideally all of them) in PZ2's base roster as possible
Essential.
I feel like a broken record by now.
If it was the aldabra it would be a different story.
What if I told you I didn't put it in essential 
Galapagos giant tortoises is essential! They are an incredibly iconic reptile with a notable history in zoos. Definitely should be in PZ2s base roster
You probably put it in the dlc cathegory. I was tempted to.do it myself for a possible islands dlc with an improved tortoise but idk is pretty basic and important to be left out of the base game and is the only reptile from SA that is not a caiman.What if I told you I didn't put it in essential
Sheep - DLC, maybe an other species like the Jacobs Sheep or Valais Blacknose Sheep or Quessant Sheep
Tassie Devil - Essential/DLC, for me it wouldn't be super important for the base game, outside of Oceania it is a very rare species
GG Tortoise - Essential, This is the ultimate tortoise, along with the African spurred tortoise.

Absolutely essential, to me the Aldabra tortoise would be dlc territory. As long as they don’t mess up the sizing I can’t have my zoo game without my endangered giant tortoises!
Reminder that the Polar bear, Penguin, and Kangaroo were all left out of the first game for DLCs and they were very commonly known zoo animals.
And ideally we learn from history as not to repeat mistakes of the past
Yes but it was the first game and those were clear big ticket abc animals that would bring in sales without a doubt. For a sequel all those should be in base game from the start.
Utterly Essential to the base game. Giant tortoises are common in real and virtual zoos. I'm also pretty sure they're the most famous ones.
