Haven't been able to be on the forum recently. I'm so thankful for the collared Peccary! Probably my favorite anniversary gift so far!

Sad to hear about everything going on at Frontier. I hope everyone impacted finds new opportunities to support themselves and their families. I'm so thankful for this game and I hope it continues strongly into the future. Love this game and this community

While I personally don't really care for the Peccary, I'm happy to see such a wanted animal added to the game. Not to mention more Central/South American animals is always appreciated. Model looks great so far, really happy with how it turned out. Another home run from the developers, you guys and gals did great!

So great to see another high quality anniversary animal for free. Thank you for this amazing game and the ongoing support!

Thank you Frontier for this wonderful gift! The peccary is such a useful addition and I can't wait to start building for them.

With news of what is happening behind the scenes, I wanted to wish the best to everyone affected and hope that new opportunities come your way soon.

Excited to play around with the peccaries! Thank you for adding these!

You know, I wonder if new players who buy the base game are ever confused by the fact that there are like two super high quality animals in their roster compared to a lot of the older, more stylised models.

I highly doubt most players, especially if they're casual players, would even notice or care

EDIT: Ok, to rephrase, the only models I see any real issue would be the tiny bison, all the base Carnivorans minus the pandas, and the orangutan. Besides those, the rest are not too bad

I find at least half of the base game animals still hold up well enough, I'm not a pixel peeper for animal accuracy though unlike a lot of us here. The giraffe, female lion, ostrich etc are still among my favourite animals to use. Most casual players probably wouldn't even notice the difference in quality of say a Gorilla to the newer gibbons.

Just wanted to say a BIG personal thankyou to the community here for supporting the game all these years! Can't wait to see all the habitats you build for this new animal.

Happy to support the game for many years to come if you guys keep releasing awesome content!

Hayo Zookeepers,

Wippi Abbonibo or Happy Anniversary! This weekend we're celebrating the 4th Anniversary of Planet Zoo, so of course we've got some exciting new things for you to enjoy in game

Free update 1.15.2 will be featuring some brand new Anniversary content that is available right now, just update your game! Are you ready to see what other exciting things we've got planned for you? Without further ado, lets get into what's going on for this year's Planet Zoo Anniversary celebration!

Let's start off with a bang by introducing our brand new friend - meet the Collared Peccary!

View attachment 372781

The Collared Peccary evolved from pig-like ancestors in Europe and now have a significant presence in North America. In game, the Collared Peccary will be able to forage using the forage box and also be able to roll about in mud! We can't wait to see what kind of habitats you build for them in your Zoos. They are also very social creatures living in herds of 5-15, so make sure to add a bunch of them into your habitats!

No offense but too good to be true for/to me. Now's to wait for the next whole months (or two) to see the next pack of new species (and subspecies).

Wait, so is that good or bad?

Which one? If that's about the peccary being there, then that'll do for it's already done after waiting for expected for so long.

Awesome

Of course we've got another limited-time celebration happening in game this weekend with a 24 hour Community Challenge from 3rd-6th November! In this special event, you'll receive a boosted animal that has an 80%+ in any gene, in return for every 5 animals you release (with a 1 in 50 chance of having Piebald or Albino colouring!) You will also gain a complete Avatar outfit for every 20 animals released - so both you and your animals will look, oh so stylish!

3-6 is more than 24 hours? Does anyone know when the challenge starts? And if it just counts to the active one. Because I am past 800 released animals in that one, so I would be very sad if I don't get the outfit for my avatar
