Zoopedia Guide

Quick answer: The Zoopedia is Planet Zoo's in-game animal encyclopedia — every species has an entry with stats, habitat preferences, welfare needs and fun facts. Planet Zoo 2 already publishes it publicly on the official site, and it's the in-game source for each species' requirements.

What each Zoopedia entry contains

Based on the public Planet Zoo 2 Zoopedia entries (e.g. Aardvark, Dolphinfish):

• Overview — the animal at a glance
• Taxonomy — class, order, family, genus
• Conservation status — e.g. Vulnerable, Least Concern
• Wild population — real-world data
• Fun facts — flavor plus hints at in-game behavior
• In-game, entries also show habitat needs, social groups and enrichment preferences

How to use it for planning

1. Check before you build — habitat requirements (space, biome, temperature) come from Zoopedia data
2. Plan cohabitation — compatible species share requirements; see Cohabitation
3. Pick for appeal — conservation status and fame drive guest interest; see the Tier List

How we differ from the official Zoopedia

The official Zoopedia is a species database. This wiki adds the how-to layer: what to build, what to research and what to combine — the questions you actually search for.
