Update 1.8 coming to Planet Zoo, 14 December 🍽️

[[VR] Deggial]

Burrowing owl confirmed!

This is so great! The restaurants and shop counters will add an interesting element to design - and the burrows will add an interesting, more realistic dynamic to certain builds.

Can you announce yet what animals currently in-game will use that dynamic other than the obvious (e.g., aardvark, meerkat, prairie dogs)?

Burrowing triceratops confirmed. Niceee

 

[Cynogale bennettii II]

Lovely little update. Especially looking forward to the burrows - from the base game, animals that should hopefully be able to use the burrow (depending on its size, of course) include the aardvark, Chinese pangolin, common warthog, Nile monitor, timber wolf, African wild dog and spotted hyena.

Then from the DLC there are all sorts of other burrowing animals, like the meerkats, prairie dogs, giant otters, dwarf caiman, American alligators, both fennec and arctic foxes, dholes, dingoes... all potentially very exciting!

Can't wait to see the stream this evening and find out more about the DLC tomorrow.

I hope the burrows are big enough for the bears too!

The "giving birth in burrows" teaser hints at bears.

I said it before and I'll say it again. It's an around the world kinda pack. It will have a variety of animals.

If I'm wrong you can all kiss me

Hopefully not. That sounds a whole lot like a farewell pack.

Wow, burrowing? Ooh, we already have 3 diggers, we must be getting another

Yes it is amazing i hope it will be the Crested porcupine!

 

[jcp011c]

Wow, that looks like a really great update. Burrowing! At least Aardvarks, Prairie Dogs and Meerkats I'm sure. (Wombats also burrow so let's go!)

The memorial update is a really nice sentimental touch.

Also "we'll have more information for you soon" = DLC announcement in my head.

 

[nutrit]

Obvious burrowing creatures from the meta wishlist are:

Tasmanian devil
Porcupine
Wolverine
Wombat
Badger
Red fox
Honey badger
Stripped hyena

so we will probably get at least one of these

 

[Sahara]

Hopefully not. That sounds a whole lot like a farewell pack.

Really? I don't think so. But to each his own I guess

They used a picture of the African scenery for the counters, this leads me to believe it to be so.

Do not argue with me on this just let me belieeve

 

[Hugo98]

Hopefully not. That sounds a whole lot like a farewell pack.

For me, too.
I've never played PC but wasn't there also a kind of around the world dlc? Was it the last one?

If you’re right your copy of the pack is on me, that’s a heck of a prediction

 

[yoav_r]

There were 3 packs after the "world's fair" pack.

 

[TheYeti]

I was already excited for the restaurants. Now I learned about burrows and shopless counters!!!

And is the "deep dive" a hint at an upcoming DLC? It feels like an odd expression in an update that doesn't include deep diving at all.
