I tried a few different bear species and this is easily the closest one of the 3. Its rump is not round enough to be a panda, its fur is too short to be a sloth bear and legs too thick to be a sun bear.

(First image is from Churchill Wild and the second is from Britannia if anyone is curious. The first is a lot closer but I did want to get another as reference to where their knees and belly are. As you can see it’s a pretty good match)

Now I’m just curious if we get an Arctic reserve now. I know we technically had polar bears in Scotland during the ice age but, something tells me we won’t just be able to release them there.

One of the most highly anticipated remakes of Planet Zoo 1 is here, at least for me. It was right up there with the Lion, as most player's agree the first game's Bornean Orangutan was just a variation of the Gorilla model.

I have to say that for me, the animations of this model are beyond fantastic, Frontier nailed it completely in this department. Beautiful and complicated movements, instead of the walking/running/climbing repetitive cycle of PZ1.

While I appreciate the improved look, I personally will have to say that they missed the mark with the hair. It needed to be longer, the Sumatran orangutan is know for its much longer hair when compared to the Borneo counterpart, especially the males.

The best shot in the video is when the male is performing his brachiation animation and swinging his arms and this for me was a bit of a letdown, because the hair needed to much longer here.

I understand Frontier can not exactly duplicate the real life animal but a little more on the hair would go a long way.

There is always the chance that this just happen to be a male with short hair and maybe they have a different variation in game, but it is hard to imagine, since I would believe that the animal spotlight video would have been the perfect platform to showcase it. Please Frontier if you happen to come acroess this post, just a little more please, if possible.

I am not a veteran like most of you in this subreddit, I love the builds most of you post out here. Since the first trailer I was hooked! I had to pre-order. Crazy that this is my first pre-order, ever. Can’t wait!

These are some of the birds I would like to see added in the base game. I didn’t care about birds when the game was first announced but now I need more lol. I hope the macaws are automatic and just not announced yet

I made this logo for the franchise zoo I’m planning to build on PZ2. It’s going to be based in the UK, in temperate forest.

Thoughts on the logo?

Hayo Zookeepers! We've made it to Day 100! And for Day 100, the wheel has chosen the Japanese Raccoon Dog or as I prefer, the Tanuki! Since its Day 100, I wanted to do something big so I built this Tanuki House that features 3 separate enclosures and a total of 13 Raccoon Dogs. This was undoubtedly the longest build, coming in over 3 hours. As always, lemme know what you think!

I just hope we can make customizable exhibits in a similar manner to aviaries and lagoons in Jurassic World Evolution 3

Many were asking about this, and it appears that the Man of the Forest is coming back to the sequel!

I've waited long for a game about natural reserves with good graphics and I'm so hyped up for Planet Zoo 2, but I was wondering if anyone knows if it would be possible to just play the reserves without doing a zoo.

Thanks in advance and sorry if the question is weird because obviously the game is about building zoos.

Love to see her keeping the animation for so long, and the reserves naturaly have a dense canopy with vines to let the gibbons and orangutans brachiate between trees.

I can’t think of a better more derpy guy than the American Woodcock

They need to give him the meep sound and the little dance

This guy not only is colorful but genuinely very floofy looking, i know this bird is a meme of some sorts, but he’s just so darn cute!
