Also this week our first of hopefully many #ZoopediaFacts was released. The first was the winner of the Which one would you like to know about first? tweet.

African elephants are excellent at dispersing seeds throughout the land. The plant and tree seeds that they eat are spread far and wide thanks to their dung!

Developer Post from the official forums.

Here is what the developers had to say this week on the official forums.

1. Planet Zoo Concerns (Master List)

In this post Bo Marit makes this comment:

I know it's a list of "concerns", but it means a lot that you're already this excited for Planet Zoo and have these thoughts. I'd suggest you keep following the official news and pages, so you'll be among the first to hear what's coming to Planet Zoo, and hopefully we can alleviate your worries in the months to come!The game will live in the Planet universe, and is therefore closer in look and feel to Planet Coaster than JWE, however we have learned so much from both games and all of that knowledge, as well as the next iteration of the Cobra engine, has helped shape Planet Zoo - it's going to be great!

We will be revealing more about Planet Zoo as time goes on and it will soon become clear to everyone that Planet Zoo is a fundamentally different experience to Planet Coaster, with a whole game’s worth of content.

Don't worry. We take really great care in researching our animals and ensuring they come alive realistically. If you check out the most recent Frontier Xtra we talk about it a little on there.
