Planet Zoo 2 All Animals List

Planet Zoo 2 has a much broader animal roster than the original game had at launch, with terrestrial wildlife joined by fully flying species, Aquariums, traditional Exhibits, and smaller aquatic animals that can use multiple enclosure types. The roster also differs slightly depending on whether you own the Standard or Deluxe version, which is why different animal totals can appear when comparing lists.

Planet Zoo 2 Animals by Habitat Type

The 136 animals are spread across five housing categories, reflecting several of Planet Zoo 2's biggest additions. Traditional terrestrial Habitats remain the largest group, but Aquariums and fully flying Habitat animals now make up a significant part of the roster as well.

Animal types:
57 Terrestrial Habitat animals
12 Flying Habitat animals
30 Exhibit animals
22 Aquarium animals
15 Aquarium / Exhibit animals

The Aquarium / Exhibit category is particularly useful because those smaller aquatic species can be housed in either format rather than being restricted to a full Aquarium. Larger aquatic animals such as sharks, rays, tuna, the West Indian Manatee, and Ocean Sunfish require Aquariums.

Planet Zoo 2 Deluxe Animals

Planet Zoo 2 Deluxe adds six animals on top of the 130-species Standard roster. The Deluxe animals cover several enclosure types, so the upgrade is not limited to one part of the zoo.

Deluxe animals:
Golden Eagle — Flying Habitat
Golden Lion Tamarin — Terrestrial Habitat
Blue and Gold Fusilier — Aquarium / Exhibit
Great Hammerhead — Aquarium
Longfin Batfish — Aquarium
Axolotl — Exhibit

This is also why you may see both 130 and 136 used as the Planet Zoo 2 animal count. There are 130 animals in the Standard roster, with the six Deluxe species bringing the complete launch total to 136.
