Common Death Adder

Acanthophis antarcticus

Average (Polygynous)

The **Common Death Adder** (*Acanthophis antarcticus*) is a mid-sized Oceanian snake featured in the Standard Edition of *Planet Zoo*.

## Zoopedia Description

### General

**Population in the Wild:** Unknown

The common death adder (or *Acanthophis antarcticus*) is a venomous snake that lives in the grasslands, forests, and bushlands of Eastern and Southern Australia. It has a flat, triangular head, a squat body, and a rapidly tapering tail, as well as a banded pattern of light brown, dark brown, and grey in order for it be well disguised in leaf litter and other debris. On average, the common death adder is between 28in and 40in long.

Although this species is not endangered, it is threatened by the presence of cane toads - an invasive species in Australia. Cane toads often eat young snakes, and when adult snakes prey upon cane toads they are poisoned by the toxins in the toad's skin, dying as a result.

### Social

Common death adders are solitary animals and do not interact in the wild. It is rare that they will encounter each other except when males search for females to mate with.

### Reproduction

Males search for females by tracking pheromonal signals. When two adders of the opposite sex encounter one another, the female will coil up slightly to signify that she's interested, allowing the male to climb on top of her. He will put his whole body on top of her, wrapping his tail underneath her, and the two will mate. Between 6 and 9 months later, the mother will give birth to a litter of 5 to 20 offspring, which are independent from birth. The males will reach sexual maturity at 2 years old, whereas females will mature slightly later, at 3 and a half years old.

## Trivia

### Zoopedia Fun Facts

* The common death adder has the longest fangs of any Australian venomous snake.
* The common death adder hides under leaf litter for long periods of time, twitching its grub-like tail to lure prey, and strikes when any unsuspecting animals move across it hiding place.
* The common death adder has the fastest strike of all venomous snakes in Australia.
* Although highly venomous, the common death adder is not aggressive and is rarely a danger to humans.
* It is thought that the name 'death adder' was originally 'deaf adder' because common death adders, like all snakes, cannot hear airborne sounds and instead feel vibrations on the ground.

Exhibit Animals

**Exhibit Animals** are special animals that can be purchased in *Planet Zoo*. Unlike the larger megafauna, exhibit animals come pre-contained in large glass terrariums. Exhibit animals consist of smaller animals that would be unfit for large outdoor enclosures, such as small reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates.

## Descriptions

While terrariums can't be fully customized, many aspects of them can be. When purchased, the terrarium is largely empty aside from some plants. Through research, players can unlock new enrichment items for the animals such as heat lamps, climbing branches, and more. Certain animals such as reptiles will require a certain temperature and level of humidity to survive. These things can be adjusted manually, but this requires more power and thus costs more money.

As for the animals themselves, their needs are much more simplified than those of the megafauna. They do not move about their tanks on-screen. Instead, they will randomly change locations when not on-screen. The number of possible spawning locations will fluctuate as enrichment items are added and removed.

It is one of the game's Exhibit Animals.

## Zoopedia Informaton

### General

**Population in the Wild:** Unknown

The boa constrictor is a large species of snake native to Central and South America. They are a ubiquitous species split into 9 subspecies, all of which are capable of living in most environments but mostly found in rainforests, coastal areas, and semi-deserts. Although there are many different colors and patterns among these snakes, the typical appearance is pale brown, dark brown and black scales in a rhomboid pattern down the length of the body. The species exhibits sexual dimorphism; the males and females look different. Males are an average length between 1.8 and 2.4m, with pelvic spurs around their cloaca that are used to facilitate mating. Females are larger, with an average length of between 2.1 and 3m, whilst they have pelvic spurs, they are smaller than the male's.

### Social

Boa constrictors are solitary animals and do not interact in the wild, except when mating or fighting over mating rights.

### Reproduction

During the mating season, female boas will release pheromones that males will track. If more than one male encounters the same female, they will wrestle with each other, the victor then mating with the female. The female will store the male's sperm until she ovulates, using it to fertilise her eggs. She gestates for between 100 and 120 days, giving birth to between 20 and 65 live young, which are independent from birth. Boa constrictors reach sexual maturity between 3 and 4 years old.

## Trivia

### Zoopedia Fun Facts

1. Boas and pythons have a rudimentary pelvis and vestigial hind legs inside their body.
2. The patternation and color of boa constrictors depends on where they are from; there are a huge range of colors in the wild and even more in captivity due to selective breeding.
3. Boa constrictors give birth to live young.
4. Boa constrictors will shed their skin every 2 to 4 months as they continue to grow throughout their life.
5. Contrary to popular belief, boa constrictors do not kill their prey by suffocation, but by cutting off blood supply to vital organs.

### Other Trivia

* The boa constrictor was formally revealed on World Snake Day.

Challenge Mode

**Challenge Mode** is one of the playable game modes featured in *Planet Zoo*. Like *Franchise Mode*, you get to create your own zoo from scratch with limited money and *Conservation Credits*.

## Gameplay

Unlike Franchise Mode, the Economy and Trading systems are completely offline, so some animals may take some time to appear or reappear in the *Animal Market.* This mode was created as an alternative to those who didn't want to interact with other players.

Additionally, all of the research cannot be transferred to separate challenge zoos, and must be manually unlocked again.

## Create a new zoo

Player can either choose to create a zoo from the start, or from existing Career Scenarios layout.

### Create from start

* Choosing Biome:
	+ Desert, Grassland, Tropical, Temperate, Taiga, Tundra.
* Choosing Continent: Any continent have the Biome.
* Choosing Game Difficulty: Easy, Medium, Hard.
* Choosing Terrain Type: Flat, Sculpted (not include Diorama)
* Player name the zoo.
* You start with $40,000 and 300 Conservation Points each time.

### Create from Scenario

* Choosing Scenario:
	+ Player can pick a scenario that player can access (owning and finish previous scenarios).
* Choosing if its terrain only, or include buildings and habitats.
* Choosing Game Difficulty: Easy, Medium, Hard.
* Player name the zoo.
Europe Theme

Worskhop icon

The **Europe Theme** is one of the architectural themes included in *Planet Zoo* as part of its piece-by-piece construction system.

It was made available with the Europe Pack.

## Inspiration

This theme was inspired by a variety of countries from across Europe such as Austria, France, Italy, and the Netherlands.

Especially the cities of Amsterdam and Venice seem to have been major influences on the Blueprints and physical props included with this theme.
Caretaker

The **Caretaker** is a staff member that can be hired in *Planet Zoo*.

## Description

Caretakers look after the zoo and help with transportation duties. They are responsible for the following activities:

* Transporting boxed animals (high priority)
* Cleaning paths
* Emptying bins
* Cleaning toilets

Caretakers require a staff room to give themselves a break when they are tired.

Due to the generalized workload of the caretaker they do not need to be assigned to a work zone that includes a habitat in order to interact with it.

Creating work zones that include bathrooms can help keep these facilities clean which will affect visitor happiness.

Caretakers will prioritize staff paths when carrying out their work, so creating staff routes for them will help efficiency.
Derek

Derek is a fox who is the main focus in "Fires and Liars". He owns a SAVO watch and he is best friends with Scott.

It is shown in "Kitty's Surprise Party" that Derek shares the same birthday as Ranger Kitty (who, as his mother mentions, is his favorite Danger Ranger).

Derek is voiced by Justin Cowden in both appearances.
Career Mode

**Career Mode** is one of the playable game modes featured in *Planet Zoo*. The mode takes the player on a globe-trotting journey to aid a series of failing zoos, all blended together with a narrative by long-time *Lego* video game writer Graham Goring.

## Gameplay

> "*Each Scenario has its own unique challenges, determined by the continent you're in, the biome you're utilising, the weather, the temperature, and of course animal availability. There will be goals for you to achieve (Bronze, Silver, and Gold), which contain gameplay objectives that vary in difficulty depending on how far you've progressed through the story - there's a lot of unique objectives to get stuck in to!*"

Breeding Animals

## Breeding

Breeding is the process of getting at least two animals of the opposite sex to mate and reproduce, resulting in offspring inheriting the genes of their parents. You can also perform research on an animal to increase their fertility, thus increasing the chances of offspring.

## Breeding Requirements

1. At least one male and female animal of the same species (both must be fertile).
2. All needs of animals well met (social, food, water, shelter, etc).

## Contraceptives

Contraceptives are an option the player can enable to inhibit successful breeding for a specific animal. This can be enabled and disabled multiple times and takes immediate effect, so long as the animal isn't pregnant beforehand.

Contraceptives must be enabled individually for each animal. To enable or disable contraceptives for an animal, click on the animal to open its information panel and adjust the contraceptives slider near the top of the panel. To quickly see which animals in a habitat are being given contraceptives, click on the habitat to open its information panel, click on animals, and scroll down. Animals using contraceptives will have a contraceptive logo next to them, their age indicator will turn red, and they will be labeled as "infertile".

Contraceptives, along with habitat management, are important tools for controlling animal population. If animals are kept in male/female bachelor groups, contraceptives are not needed to prevent population growth, as animals in bachelor groups cannot mate. In mixed-gender habitats, contraceptives can be helpful in limiting population growth (for instance, in a group of 5-6 female animals and 1 male animal, giving contraceptives to the male animal will prevent mating/growth entirely) or for genetic purposes/preventing inbreeding (if that 1 male animal were related to all the females, contraceptives can prevent him from inbreeding with the other female animals, and the player can buy another male animal with no genetic relation to the females for the purpose of breeding).

More information to be added.

## Mutations

There is rare chance that a newly bred animal will have a mutation. For example, the animals shown below have a mutation called leucism, a condition where there is a partial absence of melanin, resulting in a white appearance. The chance for a leucistic animal can be increased if one or both parents are leucistic. The offline Animal Market won't have Leucistic animals, but do appear in the online version of the Animal Market, which is only available in Franchise Mode.

A gene mutation also occurs when two related individuals breed, resulting in offspring with 0% fertility and/or immunity. Though there is a chance that the offspring will have healthy fertility and/or immunity, this is often not the case.
