Baird's Tapir

Tapirus bairdii

Very Easy (Monogamous)

The **Baird's Tapir** (*Tapirus bairdii*) is a large South American ungulate featured in the Standard Edition of *Planet Zoo*.

## Zoopedia Description

### General

**Population in the Wild:** 5,500

Baird's tapir (or *Tapirus bairdii*) is an endangered mammal native to the woodlands of Central America. It's one of five species of tapir - four of which live in Central and/or South America. Males and females are similar sizes, although females are slightly larger, and both have a dark brown to black coat, as well as a pale chin and chest when fully grown. Calves, meanwhile, are tan with white spots and stripes; their colouration provides them with camouflage in the dappled light of the woodland where they live.

The main threat to this endangered species is deforestation, which is destroying their habitat. In order to try and reduce this, conservationists are heavily concentrated on protecting the woodlands and rainforests of Central America. Hunting is also a threat - despite it being illegal to hunt tapirs in Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Costa Rica and Panama, these laws are rarely enforced.

### Social

Baird's tapirs are often solitary but may also be found in monogamous pairs with their young offspring, or in temporary feeding groups.

### Reproduction

A male tapir will track the scent of a female's urine when she moves through his territory. When they meet, he will court her by nudging, sniffing her hindquarters and chasing her. If the female is receptive, she will allow him to mount her and mate, which they will do several times throughout the day while she is fertile. The two will then either stay together or go their separate ways.

After a pregnancy of 13 months, the mother will give birth to a single calf, which for the first week of its life remains hidden in the undergrowth. The mother will return often to feed the calf, before it can then accompany its mother to forage when it's a week old. They remain with their mother for one or two years, depending on when their mother has another calf.

American Bison

Bison Bison Bison

Very Easy (Polygynous)

The **American Bison**, more specifically the **Plains Bison** (*Bison bison bison*), is a large North American ungulate featured in the Standard Edition of *Planet Zoo*.

## Zoopedia Description

### General

**Population in the Wild:** 80,000 wild

The American plains bison (or *Bison bison bison*) is a large ungulate native to the USA and Canada. Bison are characterized by their large head, should hump and forequarters, all of which are covered in a shaggy coat. Their hind-quarters are comparatively less muscled with a thinner coat. Both sexes have horns are similar in size, but males are much heavier due to having more muscle.

Bison are not currently endangered but were hunter to near extinction in the 19th century, with the original, pre-colonization population of 50 million being reduced to just 1000. The species was offered widespread protection in the early 20th century, and captive breeding programs, followed by reintroduction, brought the species back from the brink of dying out. Currently, the bison population is stable but is still threatened by habitat loss, as well as the risk of reduced genetic diversity due to their near extinction and subsequent artificial selection, which occurred through the domestication of the species.

### Social

Bison live in herds with multiple social dynamics, which can range in size from 15 to 400 individuals. Females live in interrelated groups with their offspring, while young males live in bachelor herds until they reach full growth at around 6 years old, at which point they will become a solitary dominant bull.

### Reproduction

During the mating season, bulls will attempt to join female groups and tend the individual females, preventing other males from getting too close. A dominant bull is more likely to succeed in this task; consequently they will also have the chance to mate with more females. The mother will be pregnant for an average of 285 days, giving birth to a single calf. Female calves stay with their mother's herd for their entire lives, whereas males leave at between the ages of 2 and 3, joining a bachelor herd until they are old and strong enough to become a solitary dominant bull.

* The bison is the largest land animal in North America.
* Bison can run 35mph when charging at full speed.
* Bison have poor eyesight but have excellent hearing and sense of smell.
* Male calves born earlier in the breeding season are more likely to grow up to become a dominant bull.
* Bison have been observed rubbing themselves against strong smelling trees such as cedar and pine, believed to be a deterrent to biting insects.

### Other Trivia

* In the 1.7 Update the **American Bison** got the Taiga tag.
* The American Bison is the national animal of the United States.

Black Wildebeest

Connochaetes gnou

Very Easy (Polygynous)

The **Black Wildebeest** (*Connochaetes gnou*) is a large African ungulate featured in the Standard Edition of *Planet Zoo*.

## Zoopedia Description

### General

**Population in the Wild:** 18,000

The black wildebeest (or *Connochaetes gnou*) is a large ungulate species native to Southern Africa, also known as the 'gnu' after the distinctive noise they make when alarmed. The species is recognisable by a brown-black coat and L-shaped horns, and males can be distinguished from females due to their darker colour and larger size. Both sexes have thick, bushy manes and a long horse-like tail, measuring between 1.7 and 2.2m long, 1.06 to 1.21m tall at the shoulder, and weighing 120 to 193kg.

While black wildebeest are not currently endangered, they were almost hunted to extinction in the late 1800s, targeted for their meat and leather, as well as for sport. Because they fed in the same areas as grazing livestock, to whom they could spread diseases, they were also considered pests. Thanks to reintroduction from captive populations, black wildebeest are increasing in number, expanding their range, and are no longer endangered.

### Social

Black wildebeest live in large herds comprised of groups of related females and their young offspring; bachelor herds of young males; and dominant bulls who establish territory in the foraging grounds, guarding females moving through his range.

### Reproduction

During the breeding season, dominant bulls will search for receptive females on his territory by smelling their urine, who will then allow him to approach and mate with them. A pregnancy lasts for 8.5 months before the female gives birth to a single calf, which will remain close to its mother for a year, until she gives birth to her next calf. Yearling males leave and join a bachelor herds, whereas females remain with their natal herd.

3. During the mating season, dominant male wildebeests do not eat or sleep as they are so intent on mating and defending their mates from rival males.
4. Black wildebeest can run up to 50mph when running from predators such as lions and hyenas.
5. Female groups of black wildebeest are strongly bonded and will be hostile to unknown females trying to join their group.

Educator

The **Educator** is a staff member that can be hired in *Planet Zoo* Update 1.4.1.

## Description

Educators are members of staff that primarily focus on raising your guests' education via Animal Talks.

When assigned to an Animal Talk, educators will attempt to reach the talk up to three months in advance, waiting at the talk point until it is scheduled to begin. If an educator misses their talk, it will be canceled, and the guests will be unhappy!

Educators can also be assigned to present roaming talks if they currently are not busy with a scheduled animal talk. When roaming, they will walk around the zoo and occasionally hold shorter talks about nearby species for your guests. If no species are close, educators will talk about various conservation topics instead.

Educators require a staff room to recover energy when they are tired. They will return to a staff room between talks if they have nothing else to do, to make sure they have energy for the next talk.

African Buffalo

Syncerus caffer caffer

Very Easy (Promiscuous)

The **African Buffalo** or **Cape Buffalo** (*Syncerus caffer caffer*) is a large African ungulate featured in the Standard Edition of *Planet Zoo*.

## Zoopedia Description

### General

**Population in the Wild:** 830,000

Living through Sub-Saharan Africa, the African buffalo (or *Syncerus caffer caffer*) is the largest member of the cow family - bovids - found in the African wild. They are typically between 5.6ft and 11.2ft in length, measure 3.3ft to 5.61ft tall, and are identifiable by their distinctive horns, which are broad, curved and unite in a 'boss' in the center of their forehead. The dominant male in a herd will often have the largest horns.

Although the species is not endangered, African buffalo are still threatened by human activity. Illegal trophy hunting is a regular occurrence and their grazing lands are being transformed - either turned into farmland or built on by humans. African buffalo can also contract diseases that are spread by domestic livestock, and are as well vulnerable to drought conditions. They are protected in many areas that are assigned as National Parks and Nature Reserves, while sustainable hunting occurs in legally managed zones.

### Social

African buffalo live in herds composed of many groups of related females, with groups of bachelor males and solitary dominant males existing on the periphery. A herd can be made up of multiple of these groups.

### Reproduction

African buffalo mate year-round. A male will track females for signs of oestrus and, upon finding a receptive partner, he will defend her from rival males until he is able to mate with her. The males with higher dominance are more likely to successfully guard and mate. An African buffalo mother's pregnancy lasts 11.5 months and she will give birth to a single calf, which remains close to her until it is between 1 and 2 years old. At this age, males will leave and join a bachelor herd, whereas females will remain with their mother's.

## Trivia

### Zoopedia Fun Facts

* The African buffalo is one of the most dangerous animals in Africa, killing 200 people a year.
* Unlike other bovid species, the African buffalo is immune to 'sleeping sickness'; a deadly disease transmitted by the tsetse fly.
* African buffalo have excellent memories and have been known to make vengeful attacks against lions and hunters that have targeted their herd in the past, especially if a calf has been injured.
* Due to the aggressive nature of the buffalo, all attempts at domestication as a livestock animal have failed.
* African buffalo have a symbiotic relationship with a species of bird called the 'oxpecker' that removes ticks from their skin.

Donation Box

The **Donation Box** is a item that collects donations from guests.

## Description

Donation boxes are essential to the finances of a zoo. They provide a point at which quests can make a donation towards a species they have recently seen. To be successful this means that the donation box must be near the viewing point of a habitat.

The more enjoyable the viewing experience a guest has had the more likely guests are to donate - and the greater the donations will be.

Donation boxes do not need power, but must be placed on or next to a path.

Common Wombat

Vombatus ursinus

Difficult (Polygynous)

The **Common Wombat** (*Vombatus ursinus*) is a medium Australian marsupial featured in the Twilight Pack DLC for *Planet Zoo*.

## Zoopedia Description

### General

**Population In Wild:** Unknown

The common wombat (or Vombatus ursinus), also known as the coarse-haired or bare-nosed wombat, is a marsupial found in the scrub and woodlands of south eastern Australia and Tasmania. It has a squat, round build with short muscular legs and a blunt snout. The body is covered in coarse gray brown fur. Common wombats measure between 36 inches and 46 inches in length from nose to rump and weigh 48 lb to 86 lb. There are no obvious external differences between males and females.

Common wombats are not endangered and are considered a species of least concern, with their population currently remaining at a stable level. In some areas they are considered pests as they inflict damage to farms

### Social

The common wombat is solitary and has no social needs. It is common for multiple wombats to share a burrow system, however they tend to avoid each other and can be aggressive regarding access to feeding grounds.

### Reproduction

A female common wombat in oestrus will deposit feces and urine near her territory to attract a male. When a male has located her, they will engage in a chase behavior. She will bite his hindquarters then run away, and he will chase and bite her in turn, before rolling her onto her side or back and mating with her. This chase-mate sequence may repeat several times.

27 to 31 days after mating, the female will give birth to a tiny, bean-sized infant called a joey, which will climb up her fur and into her pouch. The wombat joey will remain in its mother's pouch and feed off her milk until it is about 5 months old. From this point on, it will begin eating solid food and spending time outside of the pouch.

The joey is fully weaned at 20 months old, at which point it leaves its mother who will soon after be in oestrus again. Juvenile, wombats reach sexual maturity at 2 years old.

* The common wombat can achieve and maintain a speed of 24 mph for up to 90 seconds.
* The wombat's closest living relative is the koala.
* The skin of the common wombat is extremely tough - it often uses its hindquarters to block burrow entrances from predators as it can withstand strong bites.
* The word 'wombat' comes from the Darug language, which was spoken by Aboriginal Darug people native to the Sydney basin.
* Wombat faeces are cube shaped, and are used to mark territories or attract mates.
