I have a pretty firm idea for a medium-largish Northeastern zoo with inspiration taken from various institutions in the Mid-Atlantic, New England, and Great Lakes states (like Turtle Back, Toledo, and Maryland). I'm flexible on a lot of what could and couldn't be done, and I'm willing to use fake props for things like aviaries and aquariums, but at bare minimum I need a tropical African monkey that isn't the mandrill, at least one New World monkey, a New World bear (spectacled or ABB), and maybe a dozen habitat birds. Also a domestic goat.
What Animals Do You Need to build Your Perfect Zoo?
- Thread starter NZFanatic
- Start date
Aside from just more South American species (monkeys especially) and waterfowl in general, I still want more NZ species even if I can completely understand how niche they may be to others. Working on a large-ish zoo set in Taupō right now and a lot of them would just feel so right. (I used a heightmap on the temperate Oceania map and then flattened it - apparently loading it on the heightmap generates it without the island/smaller size, at least in sandbox. Although it is one of the other skirts it works decently well enough for me)
I really want to build an area of the zoo loosely based off of Te Wao Nui in Auckland. I'm still absolutely stoked that we ended up getting not only the kiwi, but also the little penguin... but I'd still love a South Island takahē, Australasian fur seal, whio, tuatara, wētā and so, so much more lol. I won't go deep into flying birds as there would be far too many, but my goodness if we ever somehow do get them the kea is a necessity for me.
That being said, I understand and accept that almost all of these are super niche and likely won't ever end up in-game, so I'm happy to use mods/implied exhibits for them.
Other than NZ native species though, the Cape Barren goose, hamadryas baboon, squirrel monkey, and red-rumped agouti would be perfect.

Te Wao Nui is so amazing. Unfortunately last time I went most of it was practically empty of animals, though. Two blue penguins and only one seal (these I understand, as they're rescues, not breeding animals, so they take what they can get pretty much), but then their big forest aviary had nothing in it but a couple of wood pigeons, a kaka, and a few bellbirds. Didn't see a takahe or blue duck, the wetlands aviary had nothing in it, and half the stuff that made the night house so great was gone too (the kauri snails and cave wetas).
My top number one is definitely the walrus.
Closely followed by ducks and pelicans.
And at number four I would put Arctic/Mountain Hares.
I would really like to build a small aquatic zoo. At the moment that's only possible to a limited extent, so I'm saving the topic until I feel like I have all the animals I need for the zoo as I imagine it.

Oh i got quite the list here just for my current zoo.
Starting of uncharacteristically here, i want some not pitifull african exhibits. I put one in my gorilla house and all of the exhibit animals are just kinda lame and super niche?
I ironically think that the coolest is by far the scarabeus, which i got other plans for, but the ugly frog thats not it captivity, the ugly beetle thats not in captivity and the admitedtly kinda cool snail really aint it, so here are my lowkey biased takes for what some cool exhibits would be.
1. Chameleon, the obvious one, both the veiled for a desert exhibit and the panthers for a tropical one would be cool and very much needed.
2. Snakes, like comeone two desert vipers? Cant do any better? To not be too gluttonous i limit it to just 3, the gaboon viper for tropical exhibits, the black mamba for a new grassland exhibit and the ball python for something in between.
3. Can we get the nile monitor as an exhibit animal aswell please? That would be a nice, low space alternative to reuse that model and make us happy
For african habitat animals, i need a monkey. Dont care which one, be it a guenon, guereza or mangabey but i want one just to have the option for a primate house or to mix with gorillas.
Next up, asia where we will also start with exhibits cause yuck what is this?
2 invertebrates on its own? 2 desert snakes from africa? Nothing else?
1. Again snakes. Id be happy with just the king kobra and green tree python, both in tropical exhibits.
2. This is my very biased opinion but i am in love with the vitnamese mossy frog, but for a second more general pick a fire bellied toad would be a great and iconic pick thats found all over eurasia.
3. The crocodile lizard would be a cool semi aquatic tropical exhibit lizard, something we do not have as all our lizards are desert or iguanas.
This would give us a bare minimum selection for exhibits so we dont have to only use tropical invertebrates or desert snakes from the middle east.
For habitat animals im longing for ungulates to create something like an african savanna exhibit but for asia. Bare minimum here would be the black buck and nilgai, but the samba deer, chital or sika deer, reevees muntjac and indian hog deer would all be greatly appreciated. Id also like 2 more tropical monkey where the gray hulman for india and celebes crested macaque for south east asia would do a great job.
Up third, oceania, which im for my purposes mostly cool with, but id really like the brush tailed bettong to mix with koalas, which i could sub with quokkas, but the bettong is more or less synomonys with species kept in existing habitats for conservation purposes that most normal people dont care about so id be really neat to see them in game. Also echidnas cause i love their little waddle and watching them is the purest joy on earth. Id also like a second wallaby and call me boring but due to how common they are in europe id prefer the parmas wallaby over the rock wallaby. A perfect oceania area for me would be close to zoo duisburgs with koalas + bettongs, kangaroos + wallabys, standalone wallabys + maybe random birds (zoo duisburg keeps chicken with them dont ask me why), emus, echidnas, maybe wombats, maybe tassie and an aviary with budgies which i know are illegal but they are a part of a good australia area for me. Outside of australia areas though i really, really, really want the victorian crowned pidgeons for tropical halls, they are just such perfect little fellows.
Im not to hang up over oceanias exhibit selection as they arnt all lame like africa or none existant like asia, but id still like atleast the tuatara to pair with the kiwi if id ever use it.
I can imagine a real cool small nighthouse with a kiwi indoor holding and a tuatara exhibit, which would just be the coolest and actually make me use the kiwi.
From europe i really would like the european wildcat as they are often found sprinkled inbetween more exotic animals in european zoos due to the active conservation effort.
For this kind of threat i actually do not need the wild boar, as quite frankly while i think that they are super important for european representation, they would be a little out of place in a big ticket zoo, eventhough i can imagine them really well in an european section at the border of the zoo where you go through a forest with some small carnivore habitats and large paddocks for red deer, wild boar and a bear or wolf habitat. Speaking of those small carnivores, the eurasian otter would also be great for that, eventhough i dont really want it added anymore.. The beech marten and red squirrel would also be great arboreal habitats for such a zone.
I also want alpine marmots to mix with the ibex for alpine displays.
Now for my hottest take of all, besides that all i want from Na is the porcupine,...i actually do not care that much for south america personally. I see the gab and know its wrong so thats why i also think it needs the most but just personally speaking ive never seen a dedicated south america area? Most of the time its a paddock with rheas, maras, maybe tapirs, maybe birds, giant anteaters and maned wolfs somewhere, a small tropical house with free roaming small monkeys (which i love gimme some titis) an maybe a pond or something with muscovy ducks.
Where i do miss them though is to sprinkle them in in animal houses, where they are very common. A more customisable two toed sloth exhibit (i really hate that forced straight path), collared peccarys, southern pudu, 2-4 more monkeys preferably white faced saki, cotton top tamarin, emperor tamarin, coppery titi, rheas, maras and a brazillian tapir are all i really want or need, which is still alot but its mostly cause those south american animals we have dont do much for me. Im not against there inclusions, but im also not interested in using them, with only the spectacle caiman, lama, capybara and giant anteater being animals id frequently use even if we had more choices.
But best for last, the two categorys im missing the most by far, waterfowl and petting zoo animals.
I wanna build a petting zoo, but all i got are camels.
So id like a donkey, shetland pony, kunekune and honestly also vitnamese pot bellied pigs to be able to choose, highland cattle, ankhole watussi (not so much domestic but i love african village habitats for them with goats) african dwarf goats, guinea pigs, a generic duck and chicken breed, lop rabbits, flemish giant rabbit and merino sheep.
Now you might say "but konig would you use all of them in the same zoo?" yes, yes i would, im so starved for petting zoos and most ive seen are around this size of animals.
Now waterfowl, i need, not want but need, atleast 3 different ducks, want 6.
For basics, the mallard and white faced whistling duck would cover pretty much northern and southern hemisphere -oceania pretty well, with the mallard also being the domestic duck with a white color morph. In addition i want the mandarin as designated pretty duck.
For the 3 i want, the wood duck is a beautiful addition to north america, the ruddy shelduck to asia and northern africa and the australian wood duck would give oceania one aswell.
In addition to that, i need black and mute swan, barheaded, canada, hawaiian, nile and barnacle goose aswell as lots of copium over the fact that we are lucky if we get one of them.
Also a pelican is the most needed thing not in the game thats not a duck, so get on it frontier

Hmmm…. Excellent question. For me the things I really want for a perfect zoo are:
Things that have reasonable chance of being added:
Things that are unlikely:
Things that have reasonable chance of being added:
- Short-beaked echidna
- Tree kangaroo (any)
- Yellow-footed rock wallaby
- Swamp wallaby
- Any 4 South American monkeys (getting 4 is unlikely, but we might get 2?)
- Hamadryas Baboon
- Coati (any)
- Blackbuck
- Grey langur
- Chameleon (almost any)
- Serval
- Wild boar
- Pine marten
Things that are unlikely:
- Tuatara
- Leaf-cutter ants
- Flying (WT exhibit) birds - especially macaws, small parrots, finches)
- Pelican (any)
- Lyre bird
- Water birds (at least 4 more - swans, ducks, geese, cranes, etc.)
- A southern hemisphere seal or sealion
- Puffin
- Vicuña or guanaco
- Aye aye
- Mara
- Lace monitor
- Common eland
- Kudu
- Small tortoise (any)
- Numbat
- Flying habitat birds
- Quoll (any)
- Spotted Cuscus
- Eastern grey kangaroo
- Orb-web spiders (any… WT exhibit- it’d be really great)
- European wildcat
Tough question, for me I still think I need some habitat birds. I’m pretty happy with everything else, but I can make a list of non-avian animals I need too. I like making small local zoos, so most of my animal choices are smaller animals.
Birds
Birds
- American Flamingo I need my beautiful pink beauty please and thank you. Great animal near entrances, and we don’t have any birds for the Americas yet.
- Burrowing Owl we have prairie dogs, bison, and pronghorns. I need my other prairie native, would make for a great habitat animal. With the flamingo it can act as a bird for North and South America.
- Another crane or maybe a new stork species, once again I feel like we could get some more habitat birds. While I would love more reps for NA like the whooping crane, the white stork, saddle bill stork, shoebill, wattled crane, grey crowned crane, or demoiselle crane would all be lovely.
- If I could get more game birds I would be in love. Turkeys, capercaillie, guineafowl, and more pheasants would all be useful.
- I would love some chickens for building a farm area.
- Finally, waterfowl. I need waterfowl so badly I’m not kidding when I say it limits how I build some of my zoos. Every small zoos (and big zoo for that matter) has a duck pond. Of every bird I have mentioned, I think ducks and swans are the most “necessary” for planet zoo. I’m even wearing a shirt with ducks today. I love these little dudes.
- I need monkeys, as if that is a surprise for anyone. Specifically I would like squirrel monkeys, and tamarins.
- I don’t need too many more wild ungulates, but if I could get a muntjac I would be happy.
- For aquatic mammals I just need a harbor seal. It’s a very common seal in captivity, and is the smaller and cuter cousin of the grey seal.
- This is an unpopular choice, but the American black bear. Besides being fun to build with (climbs, swims, also can have a huge variety of color), being from the United States the grizzly isn’t a 100% good representation of the local zoo. Even if they are native to my country they are very exotic, and huge, so not many zoos will house them. But a lot of local places around me has 1 or 2. North America is a massive continent, so while I can recognize that we have a lot of native animals in game, they don’t feel like my local animals.
- Finally for mammals, I just want a handful of domestic animals. I don’t care if they are more exotic breeds or not. But give me a a couple species, like a pig and goat, and I’ll b happy. Add them with chickens and llamas and you can have a good farm area!
- For habitat animals I just need a new tortoise species, preferably African spurred, but radiated would be nice too!
- The only new habitat lizard I can think of would be a tegu which would be awesome.
- For exhibit animals I would like a handful of animals, chameleons, geckos, a cobra or more venomous snakes, new frogs, some toads, and maybe a large salamander species like a hellbender or Japanese giant.
- I’ll keep this short, give me only a handful of each and I’ll be happy. Species doesn’t matter, I just like to flesh out my zoo more if I can.
My dream zoo is probably one set in rural South Australia, my home state, but what’s holding me back from building something like this even more than the animals is the plant selection we currently have on offer. Even after the little boost we got with the Oceania Pack, both Australia and Oceania in general are still seriously lacking in tree species and none of the trees we currently have would work for this kind of environment. In regards to the basic species I’d need for which there’s no suitable substitute:
For the animals, what I’m missing are predominantly native species:
But, while PZ’s current roster gives a good coverage of most of the common exotic animals (mammals at least) in zoos here, there are a couple extra species I’d want for this build in particular:
- River red gum
- Some form of mallee (the yorrell would be perfect here)
- Drooping sheoak
- Xanthorrhoea grass trees
For the animals, what I’m missing are predominantly native species:
- Short-beaked echidna
- Greater bilby
- Southern hairy-nosed wombat
- Brush-tailed bettong
- Yellow-footed rock-wallaby
- Tammar wallaby
- Kangaroo Island kangaroo
- Malleefowl
- Cape Barren goose
- Australian pelican
- Freshwater crocodile
- Heath/lace monitor
- A bunch of native exhibit animals
But, while PZ’s current roster gives a good coverage of most of the common exotic animals (mammals at least) in zoos here, there are a couple extra species I’d want for this build in particular:
- Patagonian mara
- Hamadryas baboon

- Blackbuck
- Common waterbuck
- Aoudad
- Leopard tortoise
- Rhinoceros iguana
We need more Australian trees desperately… occasionally we still get complaints/requests from Europeans and (North) Americans that they don’t have enough - I dream of having half as many.
My long time project is this zoo called Terra Mariana located in Latvia. It's not a traditional zoo, but like forested hiking park with huge fenced habitats that cover only animals found in Baltic states (Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia) and Finland. For a zoo game (comparing to older Zoo Tycoons) I have actually really cool roster.
I need several animals to finish the park off:
1st priority animals are the ones I have no replacement in game for:
-Wild Boar
-Wisent
-Capercaillie
-Wolverine
-Mountain Hare
2nd priority animals are the ones I still have no replacement for, but are not essential for completing the park
-Pine Marten
-Eurasian Otter
-Ringed Seal
-Flying Squirrel for WTE
-Common Adder for E
3rd priority animals are the ones I have pretty good replacement for, but if we got unlimited slots wouldn't mind:
-Eurasian Brown Bear (Himalayan)
-Tundra Wolf or Eurasian Wolf (Timber)
-Eurasian Beaver (American)
Add to that couple of eagles and owls and I'm golden

That is the point of the thread!
Oh
- Sumatran Tiger. My local has a lady called Rami and she comes over if you call her name she is amazing.
- Leopard seal - loves getting to see them in Taronga
- Greater Bilby - had a colony!!! On the previous cattle station I was caretaking before I shifted to this one. Teamed up with conservation ppls to monitor
- Numbat - never seen one irl but it's a huge goal of mine to see it in the wild and photograph it. Come on Western Australia trip 2026
- Will add more when I have time to think more about ut
On the tree front, a mulga tree would be incredible. I have hundreds and thousands of acres of mulga scrub and woodlands.

Wow Suzie, you really put time and effort into this, I loved reading (and visualizing) your dream zoo!
Another Lion.
So that I can keep Southern Lions and Asian (Northern Lions) in the same zoo in franchise mode.
I know many will disagree as they don't want more cats or carnivores - but I have far more interest in correcting the Lion and having two recognised subspecies of this iconic animal than more architecture pieces or other variants of other animals personally

Here's my answer although I only watch that game and not buy to try out.
- African leopard - I wanted that latest zoo game to have all of Big Five of Africa
- Perentie - That could/would complete the set/collection of continental monitor lizards along with African and Asian plus one more Asian
- Masai giraffe - One more giraffe species will be nice and that species would definitely be second one like in most zoo games including World of Zoo DS.
- Baboon - Hard to explain my certain reasons
- Fish - That's the only one of five classes of vertebrates (animals with backbones) not being featured and housed in that game. Just unnamed ones for feeding. Smqll ones could've been Exhibit types.
- Turtle - There were two tortoises and one terrapin but not the ones that are true turtles like snapping and sea turtles.
- Toad - There were frogs, then one salamander, and then one newt but no toads. And sorry but I hope Surinam toad will be excluded and exception. Looking at that's traumatizing.
- Sloth bear, spectacled bear and American black bear - Those are the last to make a complete collection of all species of bears plus one more brown bear subspecies to be in that game.
- Aviary ideas for flying birds like parrots and birds of prey - Those were forgotten.

Wait, you haven't tried out Planet Zoo? Boy, you're missing out, then
Well, CD ROMs stopped existing, and games for PCs had to be ordered online with higher prices. I just want to see and know what animals are and will be in that latest zoo game. I wouldn't waste so much money to do that.
I mean, you could get it on sale. I still use my CDs (Star Trek Armada II, anyone?).
But I wouldn't necessarily say that digital games are more expensive. CDs can be just as expensive as digital, unless you find a used copy
