Aardvark

Orycteropus afer

Easy (Polygynous)

The **Aardvark** (*Orycteropus afer*) is a mid-sized African mammal featured in the Standard Edition of *Planet Zoo*.

## Zoopedia Description

### General

**Population in the Wild:** Unknown

The aardvark (or *Orycteropus afer*) is a medium-size insectivore that lives throughout Sub-Saharan Africa. They have pink-grey skin with sparse, coarse hair, large slender ears and an elongated head that ends in a pig-like snout. Males are slightly larger than females, but both sexes are generally between 42in and 52in long, have a tail between 24in and 28in, and weigh between 88lb and 143lb.

The aardvark is not endangered, but it is vulnerable in certain areas. They need a large foraging range in the wild to allow them to acquire enough food, so they are affected by land use change like the expansion of farmland and urban areas. Sometimes they are killed by farmers who want to prevent them from digging up their land, and they are also affected by pesticides that kill the insects they feed on. They are protected in national parks and nature reserves.

### Social

With the exception of a mother and her cub, aardvarks are solitary in nature. They only interact when mating or competing over mates.

### Reproduction

During the mating season, male aardvarks will track females in their burrows by scent and stay with them for a few days. If and when she is receptive, he will mate with her before leaving the burrow. Males may mate with several females during the mating season. The female is pregnant for 7 months before giving birth to 1 cub, which will remain with its mother for 6 months - learning how to forage and dig burrows - before leaving and digging its own. They become sexually mature at 2 years old.

## Trivia

### Zoopedia Fun Facts

* Aardvarks only have four toes on their front legs, possibly adapted to form 'shovel like' feet for digging. Their nostrils are lined with coarse hair and can be closed completely to keep soil out when they are digging.
* Female aardvarks have a white tail tip, believed to make it easier for their cub to follow them in the darkness of their burrows and during foraging.
* The tongue of the aardvark is 76.2in long, sticky and is used to track through tunnels of ant and termite hills to collect many insects at once.
* Abandoned aardvark burrows are important habitats for other animals - mostly warthogs and hyenas.
* Aardvarks have a symbiotic relationship with a species call the 'aardvark cucumber', a plant which grows underground and depends entirely on the aardvark for the dispersal of its seeds. The cucumber is the only non-insect food that the aardvark eats.

### Other Trivia

* The Aardvark is one of the nine animals that can use the Animal Burrow, which was added in the 1.8 Update.

Chinese Pangolin

Manis pentadactyla

Difficult (Promiscuous)

The **Chinese Pangolin** (*Manis pentadactyla*) is a small Asian mammal featured in the Standard Edition of *Planet Zoo*.

## Zoopedia Description

### General

**Population in the Wild:** 50,000-100,000

The Chinese Pangolin(or *Manis pentadactyla*) is a critically endangered insectivorous species native to India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Taiwan and Southern China. They are small, secretive and slow-moving animals, their most distinguishing feature being their layered armour-like keratinous scales. Chinese Pangolins are between 40 and 58 cm long with a tail measuring 25 to 38 cm. They spend their days sleeping in their burrows, and their nights foraging for ants, termites and other insects.

### Social

Pangolins are solitary animals and spend their time alone, except during the mating season and when a mother is with her infant.

### Reproduction

During the mating season, male pangolins track a female by scent into her burrow and, if she is receptive, the two will mate before parting ways. The female will be pregnant for approximately 7 to 8 months, although exact time are unknown due to the secretive nature of this species. Once born, the infant remains in the burrow for the first month of its life, before starting to accompany its mother on foraging trips. It will be fully weaned at 3 months old and remain with its mother until she has another infant; usually a year later. Chinese pangolins are fully grown at 2 years old.

* The pangolin's tongue can be 16in in length; they use it to hunt and eat ants and termites.
* Pangolins do not have teeth. Instead, they swallow small stones that remain in their stomach and help grind up their food after ingestion.
* When threatened, pangolins will curl up into a tight ball, relying on their tough scales to protect themselves.
Animal Talk

## Animal Talk Point

Animal Talks are a way to educate your guests in Planet Zoo. They require an Educator to function, and provide a large education boosts to guests about specific animals.

## Description

An Animal Talk Point must be placed on normal path to work. They should be next to a habitat or an exhibit. They will only take place in the scheduled month, to give guests and staff advance notice.

Cheetah

Acinonyx jubatus

Easy (Promiscuous)

The **Cheetah** (*Acinonyx jubatus*) is a large African feline featured in the Standard Edition of *Planet Zoo*.

## Zoopedia Description

### General

**Population in the Wild:** 6,700

The Cheetah *(*or *Acinonyx jubatus*) lives in the savannahs and dry woodlands of Central and Southern Africa. They can be recognised by their slim body, deep chest, thin legs and tail, as well as dark 'tear marks' on their face. Not to mention their most distinctive feature - their spots.'

Cheetahs are famous for being the fastest land animal, reaching up to 70 mph when pursuing their prey. This is generally medium-sized mammals such as the Gazelle and Impala.

### Social

Cheetah's generally are solitary animals, however females will not live solitary when raising their cubs. Equally males can live in coalitions. Cubs eventually separate from their mothers (usually after 16-18 months) and will live solitary or in coalitions.

The coalitions are generally similar, however specifically male coalitions are only comprised of other male littermates.

### Reproduction

Males will track fertile females by the scent of her urine, staying together for several days once they meet and mating multiple times before separating. A female will be pregnant for approximately 3 months and then give birth to a litter of between 2 and 5 cubs, although larger litters of 8 do occur. Cheetah mothers will start teaching their cubs to hunt at 5 months old, and they will become fully independent at about a year old.

Dingo

Canis lupus dingo

Very Easy (Monogamous)

The **Dingo** (*Canis lupus dingo*) is a large Australian canine featured in the Australia Pack DLC for *Planet Zoo*.

## Zoopedia Description

### General

**Population in the Wild:** Unknown

The dingo (or Canis lupus dingo) is a large subspecies of canid that lives throughout Australia. With sandy-coloured fur, a white underside, pointed ears and a long, blunt snout, the dingo is skinny in appearance, averaging between 52 and 60cm in height and measuring 1.2 to 1.5m long. They weigh between 14 and 19kg, with males being slightly larger than females. They are opportunistic predators but also scavengers, resulting in a varied diet of mammals, birds, reptiles, carrion, fruit and vegetables.

Dingoes are listed as vulnerable, mainly due to the fact that their gene pool is becoming diluted through interbreeding with domestic dogs. They are also treated as pests throughout much of Australia and are likely to be killed by farmers protecting their livestock. As a result, the species is protected in National Parks and nature reserves but otherwise are often subject to control measures by humans.

### Social

Dingoes are social animals that usually live in family packs, although may also live alone or in groups of 2 or 3 unrelated individuals. An average pack contains an alpha male and alpha female, their juvenile offspring, and a litter of pups that less than a year old.

### Reproduction

In a dingo pack, only the alpha male and alpha female have young, and the pair are monogamously bonded and mate for life. Their pups stay with them until they reach sexual maturity. Solitary dingoes that have just left their family pack will look to meet another lone dingo of the opposite sex, before establishing a territory together. If they find a partner, they mate during the breeding season and reproduce a litter of pups once a year, remaining together for life.

### Zoopedia Fun Facts

* A 2021 study suggests that unusual colorations are naturally occurring in pure dingoes, such as white, black, or brindle individuals. Previously, these were assumed to be a result of hybridization with domestic dogs.
* The dingo is thought to have been introduced into Australia by seafarers 4,000 years ago. It is hypothesized that it originated from a dog like the New Guinea singing dog
* The ‘Dingo Fence’ in South-East Australia is 5,614 km long and was built to protect sheep from dingoes
* Dingo pups will often be fed and cared for by the other members of the pack as well as their parents
* Dingoes have very flexible wrists that enable them to clutch prey; this also gives them the ability to open doors and gates that dogs or wolves could not get through

1.7.1 Update

The **1.7.1 Update** was the first minor update following the 1.7 Update to *Planet Zoo*.

## Contents

### **General Bug Fixes and Improvements**

* **Animals**
	+ We have adjusted the American Alligator's social group size based on feedback. Initial group sizes had been chosen based on the aggression potential shown by the species and some zoos only keeping solitary animals
		- New group sizes are as follows:
			* Mixed: 1 male, 5 females
			* Male bachelor groups: 6 males
			* Female bachelor groups: 6 females
		- As part of this change, we have reduced the additional land, water and deep water space requirements for the American Alligator, so that bigger group sizes do not balloon the overall space requirements
	+ Fixed a typo in the US-English version of the American Alligator's Zoopedia referring to the Saltwater Crocodile instead
	+ Fixed a typo in the US-English version of the North American Beaver's Zoopedia not properly describing its barrier requirements
	+ Fixed the fur fading out too quickly on Moose
	+ Beaver Dam female animation fixed where previously mud particles were floating incorrectly

* **Scenery**
	+ Fixed an issue where some of the Opaque Glass Panel assets flexicolour channels did not function correctly
	+ Fixed an issue where guest wouldn't teleport if a Path Barrier is blocking the exit of a Transport Ride
	+ Animal Talk Seating Improvements:
		- Animal Talk Seats now have buttons to link them to an Animal Talk Point
		- "Use Seating Room Only" has been replaced with "Allow Guest Standing" with functionality of toggle flipped (existing seating will adjust to reflect this change)
		- Improvements to UI text and flow for setting up Animal Talk Seating
		- General stability fixes for Animal Talk Seating

* **Guests**
	+ Guest navigation stability fixes

* **Game Modes**
	+ **Sandbox/Franchise/Challenge**
		- Added snow on load to Tundra Sculpted maps to match flat versions

* **UI**

## Description

Situated near a small Norwegian fishing village, this site was chosen by Bernie Goodwin for the purpose of building an Arctic wildlife research zoo the likes the world has never seen.

Arctic Theme

Worskhop icon

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

It is made available with the Arctic Pack.

## Inspiration

The building theme takes inspiration from Scandinavian architecture, primarily Norse settlements from the Viking age. It also includes many decorational pieces inspired by Christmas decorations.
Staff Facilities

**Staff facilites** are the collection of buildings the staff use to perform their duties.

## Description

All staff facilities must be powered and acessible by path to function.
Staff facilities that have scenery placed around and/or built onto them improve the happiness of your staff whilst they are inside.

Guests don't like to be near staff facilities, so they should be placed away from them. The strength of this dislike varies from facility to facility and can be observed and is managed in the 'Negative Impacts on Guests' analysis view.

## List of Staff facilities

### Trade Centre

The Trade Centre acts as a gateway for animals into your zoo. It is essential for bringing in any new animal.

### Keeper Hut

Keeper huts are the only location in a zoo where keepers can prepare food. They are therefore critical for maintaining healthy animals.

### Staff Room

Buildings where staff can go to rest and regain energy before returning to their duties. Staff that do not rest will become inefficient and will eventually quit.

### Quarantine

The quarantine can be used to safely isolate sick animals before treatment at a vet surgery. It is also used to check over new animals entering the zoo before they are sent to a habitat.

### Vet Surgery

The veterinary surgery provides the only location for vets to treat disease and injury.

### Research Centre

The research centre is used by vets to further the zoo's knowledge regarding animals and diseases.

### Workshop

The workshop is used by mechanics to perform research.

Keeper Hut

The **Keeper Hut** is a staff building that can be built in *Planet Zoo*.

## Description

Keeper huts are the only location in a zoo where keepers can prepare food. They are therefore critical for maintaining healthy animals.

Keeper huts come in two sizes which affect the number of keepers that can prepare food simultaneously. This is determined by the facility's 'capacity' which can be found on its info panel. The small hut can accommodate one keeper whilst the large can hold six.

Positioning of keeper huts is important. This is because the distance from the hut to the habitat gate, or exhibit, determines how much walking a keeper needs to do as part of the food preparation cycle.

Keeper huts must be powered and should be placed away from guests.
