Giant Tiger Land Snail

Achatina achatina

Easy (Promiscuous, self fertilization)

The **Giant Tiger Land Snail** (*Achatina achatina*) is a large African land snail featured in the Standard Edition of Planet Zoo.

It is one of the game's Exhibit Animals.

## Zoopedia Description

### General

**Population in the Wild:** **Unknown**

The giant tiger land snail (or *Achatina achatina*) is a large species of gastropod that lives in the woodland areas of West Africa; specifically Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana and Nigeria, among others. They have a grey body and a conical shell that's yellow, orange or tan with black stripes - the distinctive pattern being the inspiration for their name. The species is hermaphroditic, possessing both male and female reproductive parts, so there are no distinct 'males' and 'females'. However, small or sub-adult individuals have often not yet developed the reproductive parts and so may be considered 'males'.

### Social

Giant tiger land snails do not actively live in groups, but are passive enough to tolerate others without aggression.

### Reproduction

When interested in mating, a snail will approach another and see if they reciprocate interest by touching them with their antennae. As snails are hermaphroditic, the larger individual takes on the role of the female, with the two entwining while mating for fertilization to take place. The female will then dig a shallow nest in the forest floor in which to lay her eggs.

After 10 to 31 days, these hatch - usually just as the rainy season begins - and the young snails must feed to become larger and strengthen their shells before the dry season hits. Giant tiger land snails reach sexual maturity as males at 2 years old, and at this point they are able to fertilize a female. However, it may take up to 3 years for them to be mature enough to act as the female. A fully mature snail will be able to take on the role of either the male or female in copulation.

Green Iguana

Iguana iguana

Very Easy (Promiscuous)

The **Green Iguana** (*Iguana iguana*) is a mid-sized New World lizard 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 green iguana (or *Iguana iguana*) is a large species of lizard that lives throughout Central America, Northern South America and the Caribbean. It has a long tail with a serrated crest that goes from its head to the base of its spine, as well as muscular legs with long toes and claws. They may also have striations on their tail and body.

Although named 'green' iguanas, they occur in many colours - commonly green, blue, brown and orange - and these different colour morphs often depend on their location of origin. Whatever the colour, the green iguana can reach 2m in length including the tail, and males are larger than females, weighing an average of 4kg compared to 2kg.

### Social

Green iguanas are solitary animals and only interact to mate. However, hatchlings may remain together in sibling groups for a short period of time after emerging from the nest.

### Reproduction

During the mating season, males will establish a territory that's usually in an area with branches and close to water. He will defend it from rival males, and attempt to attract females who move through it; if one is interested, she will approach him and he will mount her to mate. Usually, females lay eggs around 65 days after mating, laying their clutch in a nest dug in the ground. After 90 to 120 days, the young will hach and be independent from hatching, reaching sexual maturity between 3 and 5 years old.

## Zoopedia Informaton

### General

**Population in the Wild:** **Unknown**

The golden poison frog (or *Phyllobates terribilis*) is a species of poison dart frog endemic to the rainforests of the Pacific Coast of Colombia. Although being called'golden' frogs, they are actually found in mint green, yellow and orange color morphs. All variants measure an average of 2in to 2.2in and have extremely poisonous skin that's used as a defense mechanism against predators, while their bright coloration acts as a warning signal to potentional threats. They live on the forest floor and, unlike other frog species, do not require to live in or near water, though they do need water source in which to deposit their eggs.

### Social

Golden poison frogs are social animals, living in unrelated groups of between 4 and 7 individuals in the wild.

### Reproduction

When females are ready to lay their eggs, males will attempt to attract them with a series of high pitched squeaks. They will mate in large groups; males moving from female to female to fertilize her eggs as she lays them, then taking the clutch of eggs and carrying them on his back to a suitable water source do deposit them. Eggs hatch 11 to 12 days after laying, but the tadpoles remain in the water until they become froglets between 55 and 60 days later. The young frogs will reach sexual maturity after 12 to 18 months.

Solar Panel

The **Solar Panel** is a power facility that can be built in *Planet Zoo*.

## Description

Solar panels use a renewable energy source that's more efficient in warmer, sunny climates. Like Wind Turbines, they cost more to purchase than Transformers but don't have a running cost. Guests understand the benefit of Solar panels so they're neutral to their presence. Efficiency is measured by the radius of power the facility can cover.

A power source will power anything that touches its radius, even if the object or habitat is only partially within it. Power facilities will deteriorate and lose efficiency over time; transformers are more resilient to deterioration than wind turbines, while solar panels are the least durable.

Snow Leopard

Panthera uncia

Easy (Monogamy Seasonal)

The **Snow Leopard** *(Panthera uncia)* is a mid-sized Asian feline featured in the Standard Edition of *Planet Zoo*.

## Zoopedia Description

### General

**Population in the Wild:** 4,000-9,000

Identifiable by its white to grey fur, black rosettes across its body, and black spots on its face, the snow leopard (or Panthera uncia) lives in the mountains of Nepal, Tibet, Northern India, Southern Siberia, Pakistan, Bhutan and Mongolia. The animal's fur is extremely thick and well insulated, which helps it comfortably withstand sub-zero temperatures as low as -25°C. They mostly feed on mountain goats and sheep, but also hunt birds and rodents

The species is endangered for a variety of reasons. Farmers kill them to prevent the leopards killing their livestock, and they are also hunted for their fur and body parts, the latter of which are valued in Chinese medicine. Lastly, habitat degradation has reduced their prey options. Conservation efforts have been made by establishing protected areas and assisting farmers in 'leopard proofing' the land where they keep their livestock, while locals are being educated on the snow leopard. In many areas concerted efforts are also being made to remove poachers' traps.

### Social

Snow leopards are solitary animals and live alone, unless it is a mother with her cubs. They have home ranges, but are not aggressively territorial over them and will tolerate other leopards moving through their space.

### Reproduction

Snow leopards scent-mark and call in order to signal to mates. When a male and female snow leopard meet, they will mate multiple times over several days. They only mate with one partner each breeding season. Snow leopards will be pregnant for 3 months and then give birth to 2 to 3 cubs in a den in a rock crevice. Cubs will stay with their mother until they are almost 2 years old, at which point they will travel great distances to establish their own home range.

### Zoopedia Fun Facts

* Snow leopards have very large paws in proportion to their body size that allow them to move quickly and stealthily along the snow.
* The snow leopard can jump higher and further than any other cat species; reaching heights of 6m when jumping and distances of 15m when pouncing.
* Snow leopards can live at altitudes of 5400m.
* Snow leopards are 'crepuscular' animals; they are active at dawn and dusk.
* Snow leopards will often hold their own tail in their mouth to use it as a muffler against the wind and snow.

### Other Trivia

* The Snow Leopard is the national animal of Pakistan.

Goliath Birdeater

Theraphosa blondi

Average (Polyandrous)

The **Goliath Birdeater** (*Theraphosa blondi*) is a large South 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 Goliath birdeater (or Theraphosa blondi) is an extremely large species of tarantula native to the tropical rainforests, swamps and marshes of Suriname, Guyana, French Guiana, Brazil and Venezuela. It is tan brown in color, covered in red-brown hair, has a large abdomen with a large, round thorax, thick segmented legs, and elongated pedipalps (mouth parts). The female is larger than the male, and both sexes have pronounced appendages on the end of their abdomen known as 'spinnerets' that aid in web deposition. The web of the Goliath birdeater is used for making egg sacs and for sperm transfer, but they do not spin webs for hunting.

### Social

Goliath birdeaters are solitary animals and do not interact except to mate.

### Reproduction

The male spins a web on the ground in which he deposits sperm, before absorbing it onto his palps and going in search of a female's burrow in an attempt to coax her out. If he is successful, he will approach her using his front legs to hook back her fangs, depositing the sperm in a furrow on her abdomen. The female will store this until she is ready to lay her eggs, laying around 50 to 200 of them in an egg sac. She will guard the sac in her burrow, carrying it with her when she leaves to hunt, until the spiderlings hatch in 6 to 8 weeks. Once hatched, the young spider remain in the burrow, guarded by their mother until their first moult, after which will venture out and become independent.

Goliath Frog

Conraua goliath

Difficult (Polygynous)

The **Goliath Frog** (*Conraua goliath*) is a large African amphibian 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 Goliath frog (or Conraua goliath) is an extremely large species that lives in the African rainforests of Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea, specifically in the fast-flowing rivers and streams. It can be green to dark brown in colour, with a paler underbelly, large yellow eyes, and may also have small, ridged bumps on its skin. Males are larger than females, weighing between 0.6 and 3kg and measuring between 17 and 30cm long. The species is endangered due to being over-hunted for food, as trophies and by the pet trade.

### Social

Goliath frogs are solitary and do not interact except to mate or compete over mates.

### Reproduction

When females are ready to lay eggs, males will begin to build nests on river beds near fast-flowing water, pushing stones into semicircular formations in the sand. They will also wrestle with any rival males that happen to be building nests nearby. It is then up to females to decide on a high-quality nest in which to lay her eggs, the male fertilising them as she does so. Both the mother and father will abandon their eggs after laying, leaving them to hatch into tadpoles that will then grow into froglets approximately 3 months later. The young Goliath frogs will reach sexual maturity at 10 to 12 months old.
