Planet Zoo 2 Exhibit Animals
This page collects all 30 Planet Zoo 2 exhibit-only species in one place: insects, amphibians, reptiles, two arachnids, a centipede, a snail and a jellyfish. The official Zoopedia gives no minimum area or barrier for them, so each entry covers what it does list (temperature range, group size, adult size, biomes, continents and conservation status) and how that compares with the other 29.

Amazonian Giant Centipede
The Amazonian Giant Centipede is the sole centipede among the 30 exhibit animals, with a Tropical biome in South America. Keep it between 23 and 29 °C, a 6 °C window it shares exactly with the American Bullfrog, Eastern Brown Snake and Mexican Redknee.
Its group tops out at 2, the smallest maximum here and one that nine other species also have. Adult length: 0.28 m. Conservation status: Not evaluated.
American Bullfrog
Only three amphibians here are rated Least concern, and the American Bullfrog is one of them, with the Danube Crested Newt and the Red-Eyed Tree Frog. The remaining five amphibians are all Vulnerable, Endangered or Critically endangered.
For the bullfrog, the numbers are 23 to 29 °C, groups of 1 to 4 and a length of 0.12 m. It is listed for Lakes and Rivers plus Wetlands in North America.
Axolotl
Deluxe content lists just one exhibit animal, the Axolotl; the other 29 are Base Game. It also holds one of two Critically endangered ratings among these species, shared with Lehmann's Poison Frog.
Its window runs 15 to 20 °C, just 5 °C wide and tied for the narrowest of the 30; the Moon Jelly is the one species with a lower upper limit. Groups run from 1 to 5, and the Zoopedia gives a 0.3 m length and the Lakes and Rivers biome of North America.
Boa Constrictor
At 2.5 m for females and 2 m for males, the Boa Constrictor is the second-longest exhibit animal after the Yellow Anaconda. Six species here have separate male and female lengths, and the boa is one.
Temperature runs 23 to 31 °C, identical to the Desert Horned Viper's, and the group size is 1–2. Biomes are Tropical and Grassland across North and South America, with a Least concern rating.
Cloudless Sulphur
Cloudless Sulphur groups can reach 8, the largest maximum among exhibit animals, a figure six other species match. Its three biomes are Grassland, Taiga and Temperate, and just two species have Taiga; the Old World Swallowtail is the other.
Hold it at 21 to 28 °C. The Zoopedia gives a leg span of 0.067 m, North and South America as continents, and Least concern as the status.
Common Bluetongue
No reptile has a higher upper temperature than the Common Bluetongue: 35 °C, with the low end at 25 °C. Oceania appears for just three species: this one, the Eastern Brown Snake and the Monarch.
Group size is 1–2 and adult length 0.43 m. Tropical, Grassland and Temperate are listed, and the conservation rating is Least concern.
Danube Crested Newt
The Danube Crested Newt has the widest temperature range of any amphibian, 12 to 25 °C, a 13 °C spread. Its 12 °C floor is second lowest overall, behind only the Moon Jelly.
Groups go from 1 to 6. The Zoopedia places it in Europe, in Lakes and Rivers and Wetlands, and rates it Least concern.
Desert Horned Viper
Of the eight reptiles, the Desert Horned Viper is alone in being listed for Africa or Asia, and it appears in both, with Desert as its only biome. Temperature-wise, it lines up exactly with the Boa Constrictor at 23 to 31 °C.
Listed length is 1 m. A group of 1 to 4 puts its maximum level with the American Bullfrog and the Gila Monster. Its rating is Least concern.
Diamondback Terrapin
Groups of up to 8 put the Diamondback Terrapin at the top of the group-size list with six insects, as the only non-insect there. Mangrove, listed alongside Estuarine and Wetlands, appears for no other species.
From 21 to 32 °C, its temperature span of 11 °C is the widest among the reptiles. Females are listed at 0.17 m and males at 0.13 m. This North American species carries a Vulnerable status.
Eastern Brown Snake
The Eastern Brown Snake reaches 1.75 m, the third-longest figure here after the Yellow Anaconda and the Boa Constrictor. Its maximum group of 5 is second among reptiles, behind the Diamondback Terrapin.
Temperatures run from 23 to 29 °C. Desert, Grassland and Temperate biomes are listed, all in Oceania, and the status is Least concern.
European Peacock
Among the seven species measured by leg span, the European Peacock is the smallest at 0.055 m. It falls in the cooler group: its window, 18 to 25 °C, overlaps the other five cool-range species at 18 to 19 °C.
Groups can reach 8. Grassland and Temperate are its biomes, Asia and Europe its continents, and Least concern its rating.
Fire Salamander
With limits of 15 and 24 °C, the Fire Salamander sits among the six species that share 18 to 19 °C, apart from the warmer majority. Vulnerable is its status, a rating four species hold.
Group size runs 1–6 and the body is 0.23 m long. Europe is its continent; Temperate and Wetlands are its biomes.
Giant Forest Scorpion
The two arachnids have very different group sizes: the Giant Forest Scorpion allows up to 6, while the Mexican Redknee stops at 2. The scorpion's temperature range, 21 to 30 °C, is identical to the Monarch's.
Length is listed as 0.21 m. It is a Tropical species from Asia, and the Zoopedia has it as Not evaluated.
Giant Malaysian Leaf Insect
Six of the nine insects allow groups of 8, but the Giant Malaysian Leaf Insect tops out at 2, the lowest insect maximum. No other species starts at 22 °C; its full range is 22 to 30 °C.
The Zoopedia lists a length of 0.104 m, a Tropical biome in Asia and a status of Not evaluated.
Giant Slippery Frog
Africa appears for just one amphibian, the Giant Slippery Frog, and its upper limit of 32 °C is the highest of the eight amphibians. The lower limit, 26 °C, ties for the highest of all 30 species, giving a range of 26 to 32 °C.
At 0.25 m it is the second-longest amphibian after the Axolotl. Groups stay at 1–2, and the species is Endangered.
Giant Tiger Land Snail
Gastropods are represented by a single species, the Giant Tiger Land Snail. Its Zoopedia entry gives Africa as the continent, Tropical and Grassland as biomes, and Not evaluated as the status.
Practical figures: 20 to 28 °C and a group size of 1–3. Its lower limit of 20 °C is shared only with the Sacred Scarab Beetle, and its 0.28 m length matches the Amazonian Giant Centipede's.
Gila Monster
Of all 30 exhibit animals, the Gila Monster alone is rated Near threatened. It is a Desert species of North America, 0.56 m long.
Plan for 24 to 32 °C and a group of 1 to 4. It starts at 24 °C, like the Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, though the rattlesnake's range stops at 30 °C.
Golden Poison Frog
The Golden Poison Frog shares its whole 26 to 31 °C range with Lehmann's Poison Frog and the Red-Eyed Tree Frog. At 5 °C, that window ties for the narrowest of any species, and its 26 °C floor ties for the highest lower limit.
Its group maximum is 2 and the listed length is 0.05 m. Listed as Tropical and South American, it holds an Endangered status.
Goliath Beetle
The Goliath Beetle's upper limit of 36 °C is the highest of all 30 exhibit animals; every other species stops at 35 °C or below. Its full range is 23 to 36 °C, a 13 °C spread.
Males are listed at 0.08 m and females at 0.07 m. Groups reach 3. Its continent is Africa, its biomes Tropical and Grassland, and it has no conservation evaluation.
Lehmann's Poison Frog
Lehmann's Poison Frog is one of only two Critically endangered species here, the other being the Axolotl. At 0.03 m, it is also the shortest frog listed.
Its range of 26 to 31 °C is identical to the Golden Poison Frog's, and so is its group size of 1–2. The listed biome is Tropical, in South America.
Menelaus Blue Morpho
With a 14 °C spread from 21 to 35 °C, the Menelaus Blue Morpho ties the Sri Lankan Rose for the second-widest temperature range, behind only the Sacred Scarab Beetle. The two tied species share that exact range.
A maximum of 8 per group and a 0.12 m leg span complete its numbers. South America is the listed continent, Tropical and Grassland the biomes, and Not evaluated the status.
Mexican Redknee
The Mexican Redknee has the second-widest leg span, 0.14 m, behind only the Sri Lankan Rose. Of the two arachnids, it alone is rated Vulnerable; the Giant Forest Scorpion is Not evaluated.
Three biomes are listed, Desert, Tropical and Temperate, all in North America. Temperature is 23 to 29 °C and groups stop at 2.
Monarch
Four continents are listed for the Monarch: Asia, Oceania, North America and South America. Just the Moon Jelly, listed in five oceans, has more. On the conservation scale it sits at Vulnerable.
Like the Giant Forest Scorpion, it needs 21 to 30 °C. Groups can reach 8, the leg span is 0.095 m, and the biomes are Tropical, Grassland and Temperate.
Moon Jelly
The Moon Jelly is the only exhibit animal marked new in Planet Zoo 2, and the only jellyfish. At 9 to 19 °C it has the coldest window of the group, with both limits lower than any other species'.
The Zoopedia lists it in five oceans (Arctic, Atlantic, Indian, Pacific and Southern) across Estuarine and Open Sea biomes. Groups run 1–3, the status is Not evaluated, and no adult size is given.
Old World Swallowtail
No exhibit animal has more biomes than the Old World Swallowtail: four, namely Grassland, Taiga, Temperate and Tundra, and no other species lists Tundra. It spans three continents: Asia, Europe and North America.
Temperatures of 18 to 24 °C place it in the cool-range set of six. Groups reach 8, the leg span is 0.075 m and the status is Least concern.
Red-Eyed Tree Frog
Unlike the two poison frogs that share its 26 to 31 °C range, the Red-Eyed Tree Frog is rated Least concern, and its group can be larger: up to 5 instead of 2.
The listed length is 0.075 m for females and 0.05 m for males. It is a Tropical species found in both North and South America.
Sacred Scarab Beetle
No exhibit animal has a wider temperature range than the Sacred Scarab Beetle: 20 to 35 °C, a 15 °C span. Desert is its only biome, and no other insect has it.
Listed across Africa, Asia and Europe, it has a length of 0.02 m, groups of 1 to 3 and a status of Not evaluated.
Sri Lankan Rose
An Endangered status sets the Sri Lankan Rose apart from the other eight insects, and its 0.15 m leg span is the widest of the seven species measured that way.
Temperature runs from 21 to 35 °C, a 14 °C range that matches the Menelaus Blue Morpho. The largest allowed group is 8. Its single biome is Tropical, in Asia.
Western Diamondback Rattlesnake
Male Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes are listed longer than females, 1.4 m against 1.2 m; the Goliath Beetle is the only other species here where the male figure is larger.
No other exhibit animal has its exact range of 24 to 30 °C. Groups are 1–2. The Zoopedia lists it for North America in Desert, Grassland and Temperate, rated Least concern.
Yellow Anaconda
The Yellow Anaconda is the longest exhibit animal at 3.95 m, well ahead of the Boa Constrictor's 2.5 m. Its temperature range, 25 to 30 °C, is only 5 °C wide, tied for the narrowest of the 30.
Groups stay small at 1–2. It is listed for Grassland and Wetlands in South America, rated Least concern.
