At least blackbuck's chosen. And at least one insect for Exhibit had been chosen after like one year since Barnyard pack. Malabar rose butterfly.
Completing Zoo Tycoon 2: How far we've come?
- Thread starter yoav_r
- Start date
Here's my visuals on the matter
I'd say that the only animals truly worth anything to add would be the American black bear, the Nile croc, the sea otter, the walrus, and the secretary bird. The rest of the missing animals are too similar to what we have, so I feel like it would be wasted opportunity
Love the visual but forgot the sea turtle for zt1
Same, though Gerenuk is quite unique and could be fun with unique eating behaviour, and an animal I would really like to have.
Isn't the crested gibbon kinda filling the nieche with the lar gibbon?
I'm down for the secretarty bird, gelada, gerenuk, walrus, elephant seal, sea otter, musk ox, and penguin. The sea turtles seem more unlikely since they are kept within aquariums.

Out of these i want:
1. Sea otter
2. Musk ox
3. Gerenuk
4. Serval
5. Rockhopper penguin
6. Secretary bird
7. Nile crocodile
8. Gelada
I don't think we are getting sea turtles (idk why we are counting them but not the manatees? We shouldn't count either but anyway). Walrus is iconic enough that i wouldn't care if added but not really something i actively want over the other animals. Same with ABB, i just want it for the sake of completion.

Similar niche, but objectively a different species regardless of interpretation
Am I having a massive brain fart or shouldn't musk ox drop a tier?
Yes, it should. That was a mistake on my end
Uhh... it's been a long while since I played Zoo Tycoon 2... but I think you have a couple of mod animals on your list...
Everything listed is vanilla one way or another. The domestic species (minus the camel) were from a beta version of the game.
I played ZT2 for the first time over 20 years ago and I've never heard this...
The pony is still in the game, though. It's part of the ride, but not placeable on its own (by the by, are there any camel/elephant ride mods for ZT2?)
I definitely remember using a camel ride at some point.
It made some waves a few years ago, here's the cliff notes of what the beta contains
I'm aware, though there's evidence that the pony was meant to be more than basically an accessory to a building. As for mods, ZTABC made a elephant ride mod way back when, but nothing for camels AFAIK
I believe there was also a weird blurb about the elephant seal at some point, but nobody is sure if it was scrapped or a mistake. It never appeared in Zoo Tycoon 2, which was what the article was talking about.
It could've been a weird mistake, since ZT1 had elephant seals, but who knows? It's been 20 years
Very cool, I'll have to find it. But if I recall, ZTABC made accurate models, right? I play the game in vanilla-style, so it may look odd
