Planet Zoo 2 Animal Comparison

What the comparison checks

Enclosure type. Habitat, aquarium and exhibit animals are housed differently, so only two habitat animals can share a habitat. The tool says so when the pair cannot share one.

Shared biomes and continents. Matching biome and continent tags help with a themed area and with plants and terrain that suit both species. An empty overlap does not stop you building, but the animals will not match one theme.

Combined barrier. For two habitat animals the tool works out the strictest barrier: the higher grade, the taller minimum height, climb-proofing if either species needs it, and a water barrier only when both allow one.

Data sources. Minimum area, temperature, group size and social compatibility come from each animal's official Zoopedia page. Terrain mix is not included yet. For per-species barrier specs see Planet Zoo 2 habitat requirements; for the full roster see the Planet Zoo 2 animal list.
