I highly doubt whale sharks and all that kind of stuff will be in this game. I’d be happy with otters,penguins,sea lion, and maybe a manatee.

^ What they said. Also, the Javan rhinoceroses is very unrealistic, and if we got another gray wolf subspecies without finding out what ours is, I'd go insane. The dingo wasn't a bad choice, since they have a very unique origin (half-domesticated wolves that went wild again over tens of thousands of years), but the Arctic wolf would not have been my first pick. If only there was another white canid found in the Arctic. Anyway, I think the Mexican gray wolf, Javan rhinoceroses, the two animals we have, and all marine animals are not things I "expect" for Planet Zoo.

The crossovers are there because, as divers as the fauna on earth might be, it is limited. And there are animals naturally found in a zoo. This constant comparision between ZT und PZ leads to nothing but disapointment and complaints when PZ takes a different road.
There are a few times where comparision makes sense.Crossing out animals from a list isn't one of it. Because spoiler alert: Some animals will make it into the game and some won't. And absolutely nothing of it has to do with ZT.

You're bound to have those reactions when it's basically a copy/paste from ZT/ZT2.
Ofc. there are crossovers because they both adressed the most popular animals in RL zoos.

I think most animals from the Marine mania will not make it, even if the game will have a Marine animals pack.

Comparing the animal inclusions isn't the same as comparing gameplay features. I agree that the "but Zoo Tycoon was able to do it" comments regarding underwater navigation or a biome brush or other things is annoying and unproductive, but there's absolutely no reason why someone shouldn't want animals in Planet Zoo that were also in Zoo Tycoon. Which is what OP seems to be suggesting. The question is literally "Will some of these animals appear in Planet Zoo", not "Why don't we have these Zoo Tycoon animals in Planet Zoo".

As @NL_Mutso says I doubt many if any of the Marine Mania animals will show up (if we're lucky, seals and sea lions and penguins somewhere down the line), but the regular zoo animals have a decent chance of appearing (depending on what they are). I again point to the black rhinoceros, but also the ibex, moose, hopefully even the meerkat - none of those seem unlikely.

Nice list, but these animals take years to add to the game.
Planet Zoo is not Zoo Tycoon, but actually Planet Zoo is a continuation of Zoo Tycoon. because Frontier wants to make the series unique and adds the word "Planet" to their games. We've already seen this before, they did the same thing with the Roller Coaster Tycoon. I don't understand why people don't want Planet Zoo to be compared to other games. Does a game have to have the same name in order to be a continuation of the series? Isn't Jurassic World the sequel of Jurassic park?
There are also people from the Zoo Tycoon developer team in the Planet Zoo developer team.
What's the point of discussion, even for such simple things? Never mind discussions, let's improve this game together.
One of the biggest reasons people compare PZ to Zoo Tycoon is desperation. Is there any other solid zoo game than Planet Zoo?
If we were to choose a gun game today, there are 100 alternatives. But if we chose the Zoo game, how many options are there? there is only PZ. Do people play any other zoo game than PZ? let people compare. people comparing PZ to ZT won't do you any harm. It would be fine to have a completely separate team working for marine animals, so people who want more land animals will not be disappointed. AGAIN I SAY! technical problems need to be resolved first.

Here's my list.

Sure there are animals there that are already in the game, but I don't wanna filter those out, to much work.

Hey! who wouldn't want that? 😂
isn't that really exaggerated? We'd probably have all of these animals 20 years later, I would still be suspicious.
but it would be amazing if such a thing was really possible, I guess it would take me minutes to find an animal at the animal market.

Unless they set aside a team for marine animals, it seems impossible for them to achieve this, because dealing with both land and marine animals is a very demanding job.
There are people who want more land animals...
there are people who want marine animals...
this is the only way to make them happy. With DLC packs containing 4 animals, the marine fauna would be really disappointing if they don't plan on developing an expansion pack. "We added 4 marine animals, let's add some land animals" Or "Let's release 5 consecutive DLC packs containing Marine animals", they cannot be successful in this way. It would be a really long process that way.
There are two ways, the expansion pack or the separate game.

Tbh, that's were I was leaning to as well. This is a completely different tone compared to other posts. (much more pleasant)

A lot of people have asked "Why doesn't PZ have the zoo keeper interaction from ZT?" Easy answer: PZ isn't ZT.
(and there are countless similar questions, which can all be answered with PZ isn't ZT)

I think Swjos is slightly "annoyed" by another thread with a heavy focus on ZT/ZT2, which I can somewhat relate to. (pls correct me if i'm wrong)
I wouldn't like an updated version of ZT2 (so basically a ZT3) and some requests are basically copy/paste features from ZT2.

Personally I think PZ would benefit from picking other species than ZT/ZT2. Just to show that they are different.
I definately like some animals from these list, but for example switching the Secretary Bird for the Grey Crowned Crane would be a good choice. Similar but also very different.

Since/during the Beta run, people have expressed to basically have an updated version of ZT2. A lot of people were surprised that PZ didn't include features from ZT2 (never got that one) and the first couple of months most topics were: ZT2 had this, why doesn't PZ have this. People got tired of that.

A recent example was the wolves in the coat variation - you could see a shift in mood. People were fine discussing with coat variation but the whole "wolves variation" popped up again and became the focus for a short while (mainly from just 2-3 people). Some people were cleary annoyed by this (again)

I like how PZ is that different and when you don't voice your opinion about this - you'll most likely end up with a lot of features of ZT2. In the end it's just a mix of opinions; people wanting more features from ZT/ZT2 and people wanting a new different zoo game.

It's basically the first big detailed Zoo game in 12-15 years. While WP/WP2 was a zoo game - it never got anywhere close to ZT/ZT2. (ZT2013 was severely lacking in building)
I agree with the desparation part. Maybe the next successor won't happen in 10-15 years or so. The only "harm" I could see is that Frontier could get the wrong impression from a forum. "Hey, almost 99% wants this feature", while it just appears to be 99% because a lot of people don't voice their opinion.

We are bound to have some same species in DLC at some point. ZT had some really good choices (and some bad) when it came to animal choices.

You are right. To be fair, I might have been a little more patient if I didn't get Baryonix mixed up with another user that is making threads for the sense of making threads lately. So sorry for that.

However, I don't understand why this thread is NOT a comparision. I mean, if you post a list and cross out / delete every animal we already have in the game, isn't it like having a shoping list? And if that shoping list is pulled out straight of a specific own-brand that only one shop carries and you go with that to another shop that has it's own own-brand, isn't it kind of ... pointless? Of course both shops will have flour, both shops will have sugar. Because that's what you find in a food shop. But why search for meat in a vegan shop? (Yeah, I need to sleep).

The simple answer to the topic question is: Yes. Some will. Not all. For various reason, one of them being: This is not Zoo Tycoon. It has a totally different approach on picking animals. Or what role the animals play in the game, actually.
And if I were a Dev, I'd get really annoyed by now when my hard work is constantly compared with a game that has not much more in common than "animals kept in captivity".

Ow, I'm sorry, I totally agree with that. I do not understand people on this subject either. I definitely too don't like people comparing it on this subject. I apologize for not being more explanatory. I meant to say that I found it correct for people to compare whether PZ is a continuation of ZT. and I was talking about animals
If we look at the current state of the PZ, with the color variations update the PZ has been really cool.
To be honest, it never disappointed me that the features of the ZT were not in the PZ, because years later a comprehensive zoo game was coming. I used to see PZ as a continuation of ZT, but I did not look for any feature of ZT in this game.
What I am defending is; Planet Zoo is the sequel to Zoo Tycoon. but Planet Zoo is not Zoo Tyoon.
Actually, I think I gave a very good example, the Jurassic World movie, the sequel to Jurassic Park, but JW is almost completely different from JP(Except dinosaurs). the same is true for PZ and ZT. So, we can think of the PZ and ZT duo as JW and JP, in fact exactly that.

That's what I meant, there are very few games of this genre.
I totally agree with what you said.

@Swjosdotschka I agree with what they say yes, writing an animal list, like making a shopping list, is just anticipation, and it means disappointment. We can already get a maximum of 4 animals in DLC packs. And frankly, if they're going to do an expansion pack, I think it's just a marine expansion. I don't think they will make big packages for other land animals.

for example ZT also had species that could not be kept in captivity, such as the great white shark. Since species that cannot be kept in captivity exist in ZT, I do not find it correct to mention the addition of animals that cannot be kept in captivity in the PZ.

The answer is very simple, PZ is a continuation of ZT, but PZ is not ZT. PZ is a game that focuses more on realism. this actually gives the answer to all the discussions.
My opinion on animals is that all species kept in captivity can take part in this game. but that does not mean that all animals will take part in this game.

For some reason I think we drool a lot in this thread. 😂 I find the ZT/PZ discussions very unnecessary. ZT is an outdated game.
I think we'd better get back to the thread. I certainly don't think they will make the ZT2 expansions for the PZ, if an expansion pack were to be made it would probably have been done for marine animals only. that's all I have to say.
