How the enclosure categories overlap
The checked dataset labels 57 habitat animals, 37 aquarium-capable animals, 12 aviary birds and 46 exhibit animals. Do not add those four figures. Fish such as brown trout can appear under both Aquarium and Exhibit. Check the selected species in the live Zoopedia before building because later updates can change classifications or requirements.
Base game and Deluxe animals
The six Deluxe species are the axolotl, blue and gold fusilier, golden eagle, golden lion tamarin, great hammerhead and longfin batfish. The other 130 launch entries are marked Base game. See the edition comparison before paying for an upgrade.
Choose an animal without overlooking its requirements
- Edition: filter out Deluxe animals if the account owns only the standard game.
- Enclosure: start with habitat, aquarium, aviary or exhibit.
- Biome and region: narrow the visual theme without assuming that matching biomes guarantee compatibility.
- Space and social group: open the current Zoopedia entry and size the enclosure for the intended adult group.
