Planet Zoo: Environmental Animal Pack arriving 18 June
Hayo Zookeepers,
Its time to go green and learn about how impactful animals are on the environment! We always appreciate animals for their beauty, but we should focus more on the impacts of how animals affect and shape the environment from all across the world. With that being said, we are proud to introduce the Planet Zoo: Environmental Animal Pack arriving on 18 June alongside free update 1.18!

Explore the world and how much animals actually do for the environment with 8 amazing species!
Starting off with a pretty special place, the Ethiopian Highlands, the only African country that has never been colonized and singling out an animal that is important for maintaining certain animal populations of these highlands, the beautiful Ethiopian Wolf. Alongside California's central coastline, learn about the guardian of the kelp forests, the Sea Otter. Heading over to an amazing conservational leader of the animal kingdom, learn about the Père David's Deer and its miraculous comeback from being extinct in the wild or take a journey all the way over to the continent of Australia to find its keystone species, the incredible Australian Sea Lion whose role in maintaining a variety of animal populations is no easy task.
I suppose now you'll want to return to Africa to find the bright and bold Secretary Bird, a bird symbolized of majesty and controls larger populations of the African grasslands. While we are still here in Africa it might be a good idea to check out a pair of Spider Tortoises, a species that is sadly currently endangered.
Lastly we head over to the most diverse ecosystem on the planet, the Amazon rainforest where we might be able to find the keystone species here, the adorable Agouti, a tiny but very meaningful animal of the forest, spreading seeds around the forest floor that will keep the forest growing. Finally, we had to address a very known animal that is the symbol itself for biologically diverse conservation, the striking Golden Lion Tamarin, a keystone species to the Atlantic Coastal forest, a very special forest located in Brazil that supports over 60% of its wildlife and provides clean resources.

Alongside everything in the Environmental Animal Pack, we've also got some extra additions for you to enjoy in Free Update 1.18!
Wind Turbines
Power your zoos more efficiently with a new power grid system that you can hook up to new proper Wind Turbines that will help generate power in bigger ranges than the generators depending on the wind level of the weather. Of course these won't make too much of a difference if you have "Power Everything" on in sandbox settings (if you are playing in sandbox) but if you want to play without that on these will make a huge difference in your power generation in sandbox or franchise!
Water State Customizability
With this update we are also adding the option to make your bodies of water different states, meaning you will have the ability to make bodes of water frozen or steaming hot! When water is set all the way to the coldest option (meaning it being frozen solid) a few smaller cold climate animals will be able to walk on the ice safely like shown below. When water is set in the warmer state where steam starts to rise, players will be able to use this as an alternative to the hot water taps to make hot springs.

Mascots
As a fun little feature we are adding a new type of staff member, mascots! Mascots won't play a huge part in zoo management, their more important role is to make sure your guests have fun while in your zoos! Placing a decent amount of mascots around your zoos will instantly increase the happiness of your guests!
Free Update 1.18 will also come with various fixes alongside all of this content, which will be included in the Update Notes upon release on 18 June.
The Planet Zoo: Environmental Animal Pack will be available to purchase for £7.99 ($9.99, 9.99€) on Steam from 18 June. If you want to be notified when the game is available, then head on over to Steam and wishlist it now! Please remember that you'll only be able to enjoy the Planet Zoo: Environmental Animal Pack if you already own the base game of Planet Zoo.
We look forward to sharing more about all these amazing species with you! Tell us what you're more excited for below!![]()
The wings are far too short and the textures are fairly low-quality.True but idk the flamingo doesnt really strike me as an animal that needs a touch up, like at all
I mean if they actually go through the absolute pain that must be making a habitat snake id be fine with the 3 others being clonesThis one’s less realistic and more I just want it… but anything’s possible right?

I can see the steam forums full of:Traverse the Indian subcontinent in search of finding not only our first habitat snake
Snakes' enclosures should be more like container/box-like which would be more escape-proof. Anyone think so?This one’s less realistic and more I just want it… but anything’s possible right?

I know, that’s why I said it’s on the unrealistic side. But come on you can’t tell me it wouldn’t be fun to build a fully customizable enclosure for a king cobra.We are absolutely not getting habitat snakes. 4x4m is perfectly adequate for a king cobra.
Good thing those images you made have a "Not official!" label, otherwise I would totally believe they are official key arts!!!I’m curious, what pack do you guys like the most so far?View attachment 379991View attachment 379992

a flying haitat bird? and it's not even the only bird in the pack?!? I would love it just because of that, but sadly I don't think Frontier would do that.Planet Zoo: Coastal Pack arriving 9 Apr

(Side note: this is probably my favourite idea so far of this series)
The pelican doesn’t fly, neither does the puffin. Puffin is the penguin rig, and the pelican is the swan rig. The pack art is misleading my bad lola flying haitat bird? and it's not even the only bird in the pack?!? I would love it just because of that, but sadly I don't think Frontier would do that.
ah I see. Feels like a bit of a missed opprotunity but ill allow it.The pelican doesn’t fly, neither does the puffin. Puffin is the penguin rig, and the pelican is the swan rig. The pack art is misleading my bad lol
