Planet Zoo Wetlands Animal Pack Overview: Explore A Unique Variety Of New Species

thegamer.com:

Planet Zoo has just released the Wetlands Animal Pack, a return to the animal-focused DLC format that prioritises adding more species over additional decor items. This time around the setting is the Brazilian Pantanal, home to the world’s largest wetlands. Here you’ll discover an animal rescue sanctuary in need of revival in the latest timed scenario, as well as eight new species in need of homes.

The diverse lineup for the pack comprises the Asian small-clawed otter, capybara, Nile lechwe, platypus, red-crowned crane, spectacled caiman, and wild water buffalo, as well as the exhibit-based Danube crested newt. We’ll give you the lowdown on all of these interesting animals, as well as their new interactions and behaviours, to get you started.

Wetlands is the third animal pack released for Planet Zoo, so we know the format by now. It introduces seven new habitat-dwelling animals, one exhibit species, and a new scenario based on the area the animals originate from, in this case, Brazil. At this point in the game’s lifecycle, the decorations are pretty varied, so the focus on animals and behaviours over accessories and buildings is welcome.

Planet Zoo has an extensive zoopedia with a diverse lineup of animals, yet still manages to make additions feel unique. The attention to detail in the behaviour of each animal is one of the primary reasons for this. Frontier has built a robust management system to hang the zoo functionality on then added animals that behave exactly as they should. With these new additions, the attention to detail and realism is even more noticeable than usual.
