Giant Panda

Ailuropoda melanoleuca

Very Difficult (Promiscuous)

The **​Giant Panda** (*Ailuropoda melanoleuca*) is a mid-sized Asian mammal featured in the Standard Edition of *Planet Zoo*.

## Zoopedia Description

### General

**Population in the Wild:** 2,000

The giant panda (or Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is a species of bear native to the mountains of Central China. They have black and white fur in a distinctive pattern, with black legs, ears and circles around their eyes. Pandas feed almost exclusively on bamboo and, as a result, are extremely dependent on rich bamboo forests to survive. This is a low energy food, so pandas must eat a lot of it to live and spend most of their waking hours foraging and eating. Their low energy intake also means they produce very tiny and vulnerable cubs.

The species is threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation due to deforestation and urbanisation; they are also poached for their fur. China has put a lot of effort into conserving the panda population, but it proves to be difficult due to the low fertility of pandas, their reluctance to mate, and the vulnerability of their young.

### Social

Pandas are solitary creatures but will interact if they come across each other. However, females are more territorial than males and may chase away rivals who invade their territory. They need plenty of space and the ability to isolate themselves if they want to.

### Reproduction

Panda females are only fertile for 2 to 3 days a year - with such a small window for pregnancy, it's unlikely that they will meet a male at the right time. If they do manage to mate with a male, the mother will be pregnant for between 95 and 160 days before giving birth to 1 or 2 very small cubs; if she has twins, she will not care for both because she will not have enough milk. Cubs will stay with their mothers until they are between 1.5 to 2 years old before leaving to establish their own territories.

## Trivia

### Zoopedia Fun Facts

* Pandas have the smallest babies relative to adult body size of any placental mammal; cubs are 800x smaller than their mothers.
* Pandas have evolved a 6th finger that helps them strip leaves from bamboo.
* The giant panda is the only bear species that is entirely herbivorous. Unlike many other animals, pandas are not used in Chinese traditional medicine.
* There is a sub-population of giant pandas called 'Qinling pandas' that are chocolate brown and white
* Pandas are a symbol of peace in China; warring groups would hold up flags with panda images on them to call a truce.

### Inaccuracies

* While the game implies that Giant Pandas have an exclusive diet of plants, they're in real-life actually much more omnivorous.

Red Ruffed Lemur

Varecia rubra

Very Easy (Polygynous)

The **Red Ruffed Lemur** (*Varecia rubra*) is a small African primate featured in the Standard Edition of *Planet Zoo*.

## Zoopedia Description

### General

**Population in the Wild:** 29,000-52,000

The red-ruffed lemur (or Varecia rubra) is a critically endangered species of primate native to the Northern Masoala rainforests of Madagascar. With yellow eyes and a black pointed face surrounded by the distinctive red ruff, the lemur's body is covered in thick red fur and it has a black tail, hands and feet. It also has a white patch on the top of its head.

The species is threatened by habitat loss and hunting, they are particularly vulnerable to this because they require well established forests with tall trees to survive and forage for fruit, nectar and flowers. Therefore it cannot live in young or newly planted forests. They are also frequently hunted for bushmeat. To combat these problems, the Masoala rainforest is a protected national park, but illegal logging and hunting still takes place.

### Social

Lemurs are very social animals that live in close-knit groups of up to 30 individuals, grooming each other and helping raise one another's young. Together, they move through their environment during the day, foraging for flowers and fruit, and will sleep in a tree together at night. Females are dominant in lemur society.

### Reproduction

A male lemur will approach a female in a submissive manner, chattering and squealing at her, and the two will mate if she is receptive. The mother will be pregnant for 3 months and give birth to between 1 and 4 babies in a tree nest. They will stay there until they are 2 to 3 months old, at which point the babies will be old enough to come out of the nest and begin interacting with the lemur troop. The females are fully grown at 2 years old and will remain with their mother, whereas the males reach adulthood at between 3 and 4 years old, leaving their family troop to find an unrelated group.

### Zoopedia Fun Facts

* The word 'lemur' is derived from the Latin word 'Lemures', meaning 'spirits' or 'ghosts'.
* Red ruffed lemurs are very vocal and will make alarm calls to alert their group to predators.
* Red ruffed lemurs have evolved a long, pointed snout and a long tongue for eating nectar from flowers, meaning they play an important role in pollination.
* Ruffed lemurs are the only primates that give birth to litters of young, and can birth up to 4 infants in one pregnancy. They build nests in the trees where they hide their babies until they are old enough to walk and climb.
* Red ruffed lemurs groom their thick coat using a long claw on the second toe of their back leg.

Common Warthog

Phacochoerus africanus

Very Easy (Promiscuous)

The **Common Warthog** (*Phacochoerus africanus*) is a mid-sized African ungulate featured in the Standard Edition of *Planet Zoo*.

## Zoopedia Description

### General

**Population in the Wild:** 250,000

The common warthog (or *Phacochoerus africanus*) lives throughout Sub-Saharan Africa in a wide variety of environments. Although not currently endangered, the species is vulnerable to drought and hunting, as they're often viewed by humans as pests. The reason for this is twofold. Firstly, they can spread disease to livestock. Secondly, they can destroy crops on farmland when rooting with their tusks. This has resulted in some pockets of the population being wiped out.

The common warthog has a large head with a coarse mane of hair and distinctive tusks. The upper tusks are large, thick and blunt, while the lower tusks are short and sharp. Warthogs also have large cartilaginous protrusions on their cheeks. The males average between 1.3 and 1.5m in length and between 60 and 150kg in weight, whereas females average shorter and lighter, averaging between 0.9 to 1.3m long and 45 to 75kg in weight.

### Social

Warthogs have a complex social structure. Mature females tend to live in interrelated groups with their offspring. However, year-old piglets may leave their mother's group and live in sibling groups, before splitting up as they get older. The young females usually return to their mother's group, whereas young males will form bachelor herds until they are old and strong enough to become solitary.

### Reproduction

Male warthogs have two strategies for mating. These are called 'tending' and 'roaming'. A tending male will join a sounder of females during the mating season and block other males from coming close; as well as try to stop females going to other males. Roaming males search for multiple sounders and attempt to mate with females from these groups, often competing with the tending male. The female common warthogs are pregnant for 5-6 months before giving birth to 3 to 7 piglets in their burrow. These young piglets reach maturity for the first time until they are 4 to 5 years old.

The **Goliath Beetle** (*Goliathus goliatus*) is a large African insect featured in the Standard Edition of *Planet Zoo*.

## Zoopedia Description

### General

**Population in the Wild:** Unknown

The Goliath beetle (or *Goliathus goliatus*) is a large species of insect that lives in the savannah and rainforests of Central Africa. The males and females are different in appearance and size; the males being larger - between 2.4in and 4in - with a dark brown abdomen, a brown thorax with white stripes, black legs, as well as a white head with a Y-shaped horn. The females have shorter, thinner stripes on the thorax, are smaller in size - between 2in and 3.2in - and do not have a horn. Little is known about the life cycle of this species in the wild, but it is threatened by habitat loss due to destruction of the rainforests that it lives.

### Social

Goliath beetles are solitary animals - other than to mate or compete over mates, they do not interact in the wild.

### Reproduction

Male Goliath beetles establish a territory, fighting off rival males using the Y-shaped horn on their head and detecting any females that move through this territory via pheromonal signals. Once they have mated, the female will dig a shallow hole in sandy soil and lay her eggs inside, where they will hatch into larvae between 12 to 14 days later. The larvae will forage on decaying plant and animal matter on the forest floor until they reach approximately 3.5oz in weight; at this point they will bury themselves in the ground and pupate, remaining there for 5 months, hatching after the rainy season has made the ground moist. It takes approximately 1 year for an egg to become an adult, and these fully-grown beetles emerge to begin to search for mates.

### Zoopedia Fun Facts

* Goliath beetles are part of the scarab beetle family.
* The Goliath beetle can reach lengths of 4.4in, and is the largest and heaviest insect in the world.
* The Goliath beetle uses its tarsi (feet claws) to scratch at the bark of trees and extract sap.
* The larvae of the Goliath beetle require a high protein diet to achieve their large size as adults, so it is very important where a female chooses to lay her eggs.
* Goliath beetles have a short lifespan as adults; when they emerge from their pupa, they begin searching for a mate and will die soon after mating.

## Zoopedia Description

### General

**Population in the Wild:** Unknown

The Gila monster (or *Heloderma suspectum*) is a large species of venomous lizard native to the arid regions of the Southern United States and Northern Mexico. It has orange and black scales arranged in a banded and reticulated pattern, measures 20in to24in long, and weighs between 12.25oz and 24.5oz. The Gila monster has a very keen sense of smell that it uses for hunting, and can often be seen scenting the air by flicking its tongue in and out of its mouth. The species is near threatened, often killed by humans out of fear, despite the fact it is too slow moving for it to be a serious threat to people.

### Social

Gila monsters are solitary animals and only interact to mate and compete over mates.

### Reproduction

During the mating season, male Gila monsters will track down females by scent. If he encounters one, he will attempt to climb on top of her; if she allows it, the two will mate, however she may reject this by biting him. Approximately 2 months later, the female will dig a shallow nest in the sand and lay a clutch of 2 to 12 eggs, covering them over and leaving them to hatch 9 months later. The young become fully grown Gila monsters after a period of between 3 and 5 years.

Guest

Guests are an important aspect of Planet Zoo. They work as your main sources of income.

## Appearance

Guests have a randomized body shape and skin tone, face, hairstyle and clothing choices. All of these are seen in the avatar editor. These options vary between age groups (child, teen and adult).

## Behaviour

Guests come in groups, sometimes by themselves, either as a group of adults, teens, or adults and children. A group of guests can go up to six.

Guests have needs to fulfill, such as hunger, thirst, energy, and ability to use the restroom. They have limited energy, so they will begin to want to leave if your zoo is too big or there aren't benches/tables. If guests are enjoying their visit, they can donate tips to the donation bins that are placed around the zoo.

Guests need to be educated about the animals in your zoo. You can help accomplish this with education boards, speakers, education screens, education stations, and animal talks.

## Thoughts

A guest's happiness depends on what they think of the zoo. Players can see the breakdown of all their recent thoughts when clicking on them. Each thought gives or takes away happiness, or other needs.

**NOTE: The list of thoughts is under construction.**

The prey-scented sack is a tall wooden pole. Tied to the pole via a thin rope is a sizable hunk of meat encased in a burlap sack. Animals such as African Wild Dogs and Saltwater Crocodiles enjoy this enrichment item as it helps to recreate the experience of hunting and trying to catch their own food.
Nyala

Tragelaphus angasii

Very Easy (Polygynous)

The **Nyala** (*Tragelaphus angasii*) is a large African ungulate featured in the Standard Edition of *Planet Zoo*.

## Zoopedia Description

### General

**Population in the Wild:** 32,000

The nyala (or *Tragelaphus angasii*) is a secretive antelope that, lives in the thick undergrowth of the South-Eastern African savannah. They are sexually dimorphic, with males much larger than females; the former has a dark grey shaggy coat, yellow legs and twisted, yellow tipped horns, whereas the latter are tan in colour. Both sexes also have vertical white stripes on their back.

Males measure between 0.9 and 1.1m tall, 1.35 to 1.95m long, and weigh 98 to 125 kg. Females are between 0.75 and 0.9m tall, 1.35m to 1.95m long, and weigh between 50 and 68kg.

### Social

Female nyala live in small groups with their offspring and forage through the undergrowth together. Adult males are solitary, living alone except for during the mating season, when they temporarily join a female herd.

### Reproduction

During the mating season, a male will join a female herd, courting the females by approaching them with his head and horns bowed down in a non-threatening posture. It's possible that multiple males may often try to join the same female herd, and if so this will result in a performative display; males circling each other and making their hair stand on end while holding their tails and horns up high, in order to make themselves look as big as possible.

If this results in a stalemate, the males will fight and the victor will remain with the female herd, mating with the individuals if they are receptive. The mother will give birth to a single calf after a 7 month pregnancy and the calves will remain close by until they are around 18 months old, at which point the males will leave and become solitary. Females remain with their mother's herd.

* Nyala males are called 'bulls' and nyala females are calles 'ewes'. This is because the large size difference between sexes in this species. The terms 'bull' and 'doe' are used for large antelope species, and 'ram' and 'ewe' for small antelope species. Male and female nyala fit into different categories.
* Nyala are crepuscular animals; they forage during dusk and dawn, and rest and sleep during the heat of the day.
* Nyala have excellent hearing and will listen for the warning calls of baboons and impala to remain aware of threats.

Giant Burrowing Cockroach

Macropanesthia rhinoceros

Very Easy (Monogamous)

The **Giant Burrowing Cockroach** (*Macropanesthia rhinoceros*) is a large Australian insect featured in the standard edition of *Planet Zoo*.

It is one of the game's Exhibit Animals.

## Zoopedia Informaton

### General

**Population in the Wild:** Unknown

The Giant burrowing cockroach (or *Macropanesthia rhinoceros*) is a large insect native to the scrublands and dry forests of Northern Australia. They measure approximately 8cm long, weigh 30g, and are dark reddish-brown in color. They are so named for their habit of digging burrows in the sandy earth, often delving up to 1m into the ground. They are popular pet because of the ease of care and their positive response to being handled.

### Social

In the Wild, the giant burrowing cockroach may either be solitary, or a breeding male and female may live together in a burrow caring for their offspring.

### Reproduction

When a male and female encounter each other, they will move into the female's burrow and mate. After 3 months, the female will give birth to between 3 and 30 young, who will remain in the burrow for 4 to 6 months, being taken care of by their parents, who each bring them small pieces of leaf litter from the surface to eat. Giant burrowing cockroaches are fully grown at approximately 3 years old, after they have been through 12 molts.

Lehmann's Poison Frog

Oophaga lehmanni

Difficult (Polygynous)

**Lehmann's Poison Frog** (*Oophaga lehmanni*) is a small South American frog featured in the Standard Edition of *Planet Zoo*.

It is one of the game's Exhibit Animals.

## Zoopedia Description

### General Information

**Population In Wild:** Unknown

Lehmann's poison frog (or *Oophaga lehmanni*) is a species of amphibian endemic to the Colombian rainforests of the Anchicaya valley, and cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Preferring to live on the forest floor, the frog can occasionally be found residing on low branches and bushes, distinguished by the thick dark brown to black banding on its back, head and legs. In between these are bright lines of coloration that can occur in red, yellow, and orange color morphs. The frogs are an average of 1.24in-1.44in in length when fully grown.

### Social

Lehmann's poison frogs are solitary animals, only interacting with other frogs in order to mate.

### Reproduction

After the rainy season, the males search the damp forest floor and low-hanging branches for a suitable area for eggs to be laid. Once a good spot has been identified, the male frog starts making high pitched calls to attract a female who - if impressed with the area he has selected - will lay several large eggs there. The male then fertilizes and protects the batch of eggs for the next 4 weeks, turning them over to ensure they remain damp on the forest floor. Just as the young are about to hatch, the male will take them to separate pools of water, feeding them with unfertilized eggs after they're born. After 2 to 3 months, the tadpoles mature into froglets and become independent, becoming sexually mature after approximately one year.

## Trivia

### Zoopedia Fun Facts

* The frog's coloration acts as a warning to potential predators that it's toxic. The toxins on the frog's skin causes intense pain and swelling.
* The frog's natural range is very small (roughly 4m2), so it's vulnerable to habitat loss through deforestation.
* Overexploitation has been a threat to the frog - the pet trade capitalise on its unique colouration and patterning.
* Lehmann's poison frog tadpoles often grow into froglets in small pockets of water in hollow trees or bamboo branches.
* The tadpoles are also cannibalistic, so the father will separate the eggs before they hatch.

Mexican Red Knee Tarantula

Brachypelma hamorii

Very Easy (Promiscuous)

The **Mexican Red Knee Tarantula** (*Brachypelma hamorii*) is a large North American arachnid featured in the Standard Edition of *Planet Zoo*.

It is one of the game's Exhibit Animals.

## Zoopedia Information

### General

**Population in the Wild:** Unknown

The Mexican redknee tarantula (or Brachypelma hamorii) is a species of spider that lives in the scrublands, deserts and forests of Mexico. It has a black body and legs, orange-red coloration on the joints and, like all tarantula species, a body that's covered in sensitive hairs. They measure around 10cm long with a leg span of 15cm and are nocturnal, living in burrows during the day and spending their nights hunting for prey. They feed on insects, small amphibians and small mammals.

### Social

Mexican redknee tarantulas are solitary animals and are likely to be aggressive towards each other if kept together in a terrarium.

### Reproduction

The male spins a web on the ground onto which he deposits sperm, then absorbing it onto his palps (mouth appendages). After going in search of a female's burrow, he will attempt to coax her out, approaching her and using his front legs to hook back her fangs. He will deposit the sperm from his palps into a furrow on her abdomen, which she will store until she is ready to lay between 200 and 400 eggs in an egg sac. She guards this in her burrow for 1 to 3 months, carrying it with her when she leaves, until the spiderlings hatch. They are protected by their mother in the burrow until their first molt, after which they will venture out and become independent.

* The Mexican redknee tarantula has two small 'claws' on the end of each of its legs that allow it to climb smooth surfaces.
* The Mexican redknee tarantula uses its legs to pick up tiny vibrations in the ground when hunting and ambushing prey.
* The end of the Mexican redknee tarantula's legs are able to sense smell and taste as well as touch.
* The venom of the Mexican redknee tarantula is not strong to humans, and the bite is said to be equivalent to a bee sting.
