Planet Zoo 2 Guides

Each guide answers one planning question across all 136 species: which animals need the most space or shelter, which barriers and temperatures they need, how big their groups get, and which species can share a habitat. The numbers come from the official Zoopedia; the rankings and totals are worked out on this site.
