Planet Zoo 2 Animal List: All 124 Animals by Habitat, Biome and Region

Quick answer #

The official Planet Zoo 2 Zoopedia lists 124 animals as of Oct 3, 2026: 118 in the base game and 6 that come with the Deluxe Edition (Axolotl, Blue and Gold Fusilier, Golden Eagle, Golden Lion Tamarin, Great Hammerhead, Longfin Batfish).^[1]

By habitat type, the Zoopedia files 51 animals under Habitat - Terrestrial, 10 under Habitat - Flying, 34 under Aquarium and 44 under Exhibit. These add up to more than 124 because 15 animals appear under both Aquarium and Exhibit (our calculation).^[1]

The Zoopedia itself says that Planet Zoo 2 "is in active development" and that "Text, images, stats etc. are not necessarily final and may change or be expanded upon".^[2] New animals are added to the Zoopedia every week, so this list grows until launch.^[1]

Counts at a glance #

All counts below are our own tallies of the Zoopedia filters. An animal with several biomes or regions is counted once in each.^[1]

Conservation status: 49 of the 124 animals are listed as Critically endangered, Endangered or Vulnerable (our calculation: 11 + 20 + 18). 8 animals show "???" instead of a status on the Zoopedia.^[1]

For the animals per biome, see Planet Zoo 2 biomes. For aquariums and aviaries, see aquarium animals and birds and flying animals.

How we built this table #

We read every animal's entry from the official Zoopedia and kept only what the Zoopedia shows visitors: name, scientific name, and the values behind its Habitat Type, Biome, Continent, Conservation Status and Content Pack filters. We then checked our totals against the Zoopedia's own filter counts on Oct 3, 2026; they matched. Planet Zoo 2 has not been released yet, so nothing here is from playing the game.^[1]
