Planet Zoo 2 Aquariums, Aviaries and Wildlife Reserves Guide

Aquatic and flying animals need different plans

Frontier confirms fully aquatic and flying species. Its reveal describes customizable aquariums and aviaries, with aviary walls and support poles generating a covering. These additions should be planned as distinct habitat projects rather than copied blindly from a land enclosure.

Observe the animals as well as the layout

Frontier describes animal behaviour as a visible clue to mood, giving an unhappy, lethargic tiger as an example. Its management discussion connects appropriate habitats with welfare and guest experience.

GetCheatBeacon’s recommendation is to inspect the species’ in-game requirements before decorating. After making a change, watch behaviour and read the available status information. A good-looking exhibit alone is not enough evidence that every requirement has been met.

Build a test habitat before a large attraction

For your first aquarium or aviary, keep the layout manageable. Check the actual construction and species requirements shown by your build, then expand after you understand them. This is a planning checklist, not a universal enclosure-size formula.

Frontier says walk-through aviaries can be possible where safe. Do not assume every bird or design supports that arrangement. Confirm the game’s conditions before making a walk-through exhibit the centre of your guest route.

Conservation extends beyond the zoo

Wildlife Reserves connect to conservation projects and releasing animals. Read the current project conditions before choosing an animal for release. This page does not invent release thresholds or claim that every animal automatically qualifies.

Keep the reserve project separate from your immediate zoo expansion plan. First understand its requirements; then decide whether your current zoo can support the next step. Review animal conditions and any displayed project progress before committing.

Confirmed species examples

Frontier’s reveal shows Sumatran Tigers, Western Chimpanzees, Plains Zebras, Saltwater Crocodiles, Hawksbill Turtles, Ocean Sunfish and Toco Toucans. These are examples, not the complete animal roster. The official PS5 description also names Blacktip Reef Sharks and Secretarybirds.

Use each animal’s actual in-game care requirements when planning its habitat. A shared land, water or flying classification alone is not evidence that two species can safely live together.
