5!Humans (UNMARKED SPOILERS FOR CAREER MODE)
6[[folder:Bernard "Bernie" Goodwin]]
7[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bernie.JPG]]
8->''Voiced by:'' Colin [=McFarlane=]
9The kindly, wealthy old owner of multiple zoos, he's dedicated his life to saving endangered species and improving animal welfare around the world. Warm, humorous, and with a goofy sense of humor, he's as lively and compassionate as ever.
10
11----
12
13* BenevolentBoss: Arguably the kindest character in the game.
14* BigGood: Your employer and the owner of the zoos you work for, he's working for the benefit of the animals and visitors alike.
15* NeverFoundTheBody: He goes missing in the arctic partway into career mode. He returns in the last mission and encourages you to take Myers' corrupt chain of zoos down for good.
16* NonIdleRich: He's impressively wealthy, but he sees his wealth as nothing more than a means to continuing his work raising environmental awareness.
17* NoodleIncident: He never gives any details about exactly what happened during his stay in the arctic, but he claims he made a wrong turn and spent three months in an igloo in the final level, and mentions getting cast adrift on a glacier and "spending several months with a lovely Inuit family" who couldn't understand a word he said in the Arctic DLC.
18* SoUnfunnyItsFunny: He cracks a lot of "dad jokes", which just make him more endearing.
19[[/folder]]
20
21[[folder:Nancy Jones]]
22[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nancy.JPG]]
23->''Voiced by:'' Noni Lewis
24Bernie's head zookeeper, Nancy is a plain, no-nonsense sort who nevertheless constantly has the welfare of the animals and visitors in mind. She has high standards and expectations for her employees but holds herself to those same standards.
25
26----
27
28* ApronMatron: She got where she is through hard work and common sense, and she expects it from everyone else.
29* BenevolentBoss: Downplayed; she's a little sterner than Bernie, but very much agrees with his views and attitude.
30* DeadpanSnarker: Her sense of humor is as dry as the Sahara, in contrast to Bernie's goofiness.
31* SacrificialLion: A nonlethal example - Myers fires her right off the bat after he takes over for reasons unknown.
32* TheBusCameBack: She's written out of career mode after Myers fires her. A few years later, the Twilight Pack DLC revealed she has not been idle this whole time, and she puts the player in charge of one of Myers' abandoned zoos.
33[[/folder]]
34
35[[folder:Emma Goodwin]]
36[[quoteright:230:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/emma.JPG]]
37->''Voiced by:'' Secunda Wood
38Bernie's daughter, Emma very much agrees with her father's goals and attitude. She doesn't make an appearance until relatively late in Career mode, but after her father vanishes in the Arctic, she's outraged at Dominic Myers running his zoos into the ground and dumping the workload on you. Fortunately, she's got plans of her own.
39
40----
41
42* BenevolentBoss: She becomes yours after Myers lays you off.
43* TheBusCameBack: After the events of the main game’s career mode, Emma was not seen again in any of the DLC stories until a few years later, with the release of the Oceania pack.
44* HeroicLineage: Her attitude is very similar to Bernie's, and she's dedicated to coming up with a rival line of zoos to run the corrupt Myers out of business.
45* SixthRanger: She only arrives about halfway through career mode, after her father goes missing.
46* SoUnfunnyItsFunny: Shares her dad's love of bad jokes.
47[[/folder]]
48
49[[folder:Dominic Myers]]
50[[quoteright:220:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/myers.JPG]]
51->''Voiced by:'' Dave Jones
52A notoriously slimy hedge fund manager. After Bernie goes missing in the arctic, Dominic purchases his chain of zoos and seeks to expand them... by purchasing cheap, often polluted land, stuffing them full of the cheapest, flashiest junk he can find, and filling them with whatever animals he feels like. Nearsighted, ignorant, and greedy, he's the closest thing the game has to a BigBad.
53
54----
55
56* BadBoss: And how. The midsection of career mode is largely spent dealing with his incompetence and poorly-conceived zoo ideas.
57* CorruptCorporateExecutive: His eye is constantly on the bottom line, and he really doesn't care about anything else but good publicity.
58* CrossPoppingVeins: Never seen in person, but at one point, Tiffany mentions that after she told him he was going to be working with the player again, his forehead "did this big gross veiny thing."
59* EvilBrit: He has a British accent, and is a pure slimeball.
60* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: Constantly threatens to fire you, or make you the scapegoat and tries to pass it off as a joke.
61* FauxAffablyEvil: He tries to put up a show of having some kind of compassion for, well, anything besides money, but it's so comically easy to see through that he just comes across as LaughablyEvil.
62* NeverMyFault: When Myers encountered you and Emma again in the final level, he claims that you are betraying him even though he fired you first.
63* StupidEvil: He really doesn't know anything about the animals, and doesn't care - he demands that you put giraffes, cheetahs, and orangutans into a cold-weather zoo because they're "fuzzy" and he doesn't want to spend money keeping them warm.
64* TyrantTakesTheHelm: The early part of career mode is easy and lighthearted, with characters who actually care about the animals' welfare before he shows up. Once he does, the player will be struggling to deal with the nearsighted demands of a cartoonishly greedy, selfish man who seeks profit above all else.
65* UngratefulBastard: After the player actually succeeds in making all his ill-considered zoos profitable, he fires them.
66* VillainWithGoodPublicity: The zoos are entirely a public-relations project for him, and he doesn't even pretend otherwise when he talks to the player. It initially works, too. That said after he fires the player, all that goodwill he invested in quickly comes crashing down.
67[[/folder]]
68
69[[folder:Tiffany Summers]]
70[[quoteright:247:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tiffany_summers.JPG]]
71A wealthy socialite initially hired as an apprentice at the Purmamarca Educational Reserve after her pet endangered Himalayan Brown Bear was confiscated by the authorities and sent to the player's care. She really does seem to want nothing but the best for the animals, but her cushy, high-tech youth left her woefully unprepared for the rigors of their care. Tiffany is not in the base game, having been first mentioned in the Twilight Pack, and debuted in-person in the Grasslands Pack.
72
73----
74
75* CharacterDevelopment: Over time, her work slowly opens her eyes to how proper animal care is done, and their importance to the world's ecosystems. Her attitude towards the player character and her own actions develops in a similar vein; her taking credit for the player's work was what got her ownership of the Summer Project, but by the time Tiffany's Paradise Park becomes a success, she's willing to admit to her father that the player did about 90% of the actual work... but her father is still impressed, because 10% is still far more than she usually does.
76* ComingOfAgeStory: Her whole character arc is this, to an extent. She gets a large, dangerous, endangered pet confiscated by authorities, then changes her mind about her methods of care when she sees how much happier they are under the player's care. She then stands up against one of her father's worst employees and takes over from him when it becomes obvious he's doing a terrible job managing the Summer Project, which she was supposed to be doing from the start. It kicks into high gear with her second personal zoo, Tiffany's Paradise Park, which she takes a personal interest in managing when her father explicitly states he won't bail her out if she fails.
77* DaddysGirl: She seems to legitimately dote on her wealthy father. It probably helps that he's clearly funding her lifestyle, apparently giving her a six-figure monthly allowance. When he starts treating her more like an adult in the wake of the Summer Project's success, she outright states that she doesn't like it at all initially.
78* DumbBlonde: Very blonde, and very much TheDitz. That said, her time working for various zoos - and legally owning a couple - starts turning it to HairOfGoldHeartOfGold as she starts learning more about the animals she legitimately does love.
79* IgnorantMinion: In the Tropical Pack, Tiffany returns to help the player under the watchful eye of her father's right-hand man… who happens to be Dominic Myers. She quickly learns better.
80* NaiveAnimalLover: Her idea of "caring for the animals" involves dressing the cute ones in little clothes and housing them in her own home with Egyptian cotton towels. She gets much better over time.
81* RightForTheWrongReasons: She actually didn't really mind Dominic Myers stealing from the Summer Project's petty cash, since she's rich already... she took issue with his choice of vintage champagne that he blew it on, because she thinks he should have gotten "the fresh stuff".
82* SpoiledSweet: Despite her vapid attitude and shallowness, it’s made clear that much of it is out of ignorance more than anything else, and she really does want the best for the animals. Apparently, she initially saw the Purmamarca Educational Reserve as something of a temporary boarding facility for her exotic pets and planned on taking them back after her pool house was renovated, but changed her mind after realizing they were much happier in their new homes.
83* ValleyGirl: A textbook example, she fills out the basic stock archetype checklist quite nicely, being vapid, wealthy, ditzy, and obsessed with social media. That said, her moments of character growth are often underlined with her losing the usual speech patterns.

86!Animals
87%% Please only add tropes that are specific to how these animals are portrayed in-game, not just general trivia that applies to them in real life.
88
89[[folder:Species added in the Standard Edition]]
90!!African Savannah Elephant (''Loxodonta africana'')
91[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/elephants.JPG]]
92->'''Status:''' Endangered
93->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
94The biggest land animal on Earth, these massive, intelligent animals are among the most impressive, popular, and expensive animals you can display in your zoos. Initially simply called the African Elephant, their species was clarified in a later update.
95----
96* AwesomeButImpractical: While they're enormously popular with guests - in fact, they're among ''the'' most popular animals a zoo can have - they need huge amounts of space, a social group, lots of food, and they're very expensive. Plus, their immense size and strength mean they need some pretty powerful ways to contain them. As a result, only well-established and wealthy zoos would be wise to adopt them.
97* CruelElephant: They - especially the males in musth - have the potential to get quite violent. While this isn't a gameplay mechanic, it's the ostensible reason they don't get compatibility bonuses if they're housed with other animals.
98* HonorableElephant: Hugely popular among guests, so long as they're well-kept and cared for.
99
100!!Grizzly Bear (''Ursus arctos horribilis'')
101[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grizzly_bear.JPG]]
102->'''Status:''' Least Concern
103->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
104Large, powerful bears from northwestern North America. Solitary, and with a fearsome reputation that isn't undeserved.
105----
106* PaletteSwap: Justified, since they're two different Brown Bear subspecies from different parts of the world, but they do have a few differences from the Himalayan Brown Bear. They're slightly less popular and expensive, require more room, and their young mature slower, but they're more tolerant of high temperatures.
107
108!!West African Lion (''Panthera leo leo'')
109[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/west_african_lion.JPG]]
110->'''Status:''' Critically Endangered
111->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
112A lion subspecies from western Africa. While lions, in general, aren't doing badly, the West African subspecies is critically endangered, numbering only about 250 specimens in the wild.
113----
114* KingOfBeasts: Among the four most popular animals in the game, ''the'' most popular of the cats, and they can be kept in much larger numbers than the other large felines. In addition, they’re found all over the “Classical” architecture style, and even the game’s logo and cover art place them front and center.
115* PantheraAwesome: Not quite the largest of big cats, but very close, and very popular exhibits.
116
117!!Plains Zebra (''Equus quagga'')
118[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/plains_zebra.JPG]]
119->'''Status:''' Near Threatened
120->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
121Medium-sized, famously striped equines from southeastern Africa. They live in small herds and get along with many other herd animals from African grasslands.
122----
123
124!!Hippopotamus (''Hippopotamus amphibius'')
125[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hippopotamus.JPG]]
126->'''Status:''' Vulnerable
127->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
128Large, heavyset, semiaquatic African ungulates. Despite their bulky and inoffensive appearance, they're infamous for the XenophobicHerbivore trope in reality (though this is downplayed in-game).
129----
130* AngryAngryHippos: Zigzagged between this and HuggyHuggyHippos; while not aggressive towards other herbivores as long as their needs are met, they don't get any bonuses for cohabitation with other species the way most other African grassland species do. That said, too many males in one habitat will lead to some ''vicious'' fighting. They also have some fairly large space requirements, similar to those of Elephants.
131
132!!Timber Wolf (''Canis lupus'')
133[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/timber_wolf.JPG]]
134->'''Status:''' Least Concern
135->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
136Large canine predators from across the northern hemisphere, wolves live in small groups with complex pack requirements. Though very closely related to domestic dogs, they are not their direct ancestors, and the subspecies of wolf that is is most likely extinct.
137----
138* NobleWolf: If kept in a well-maintained pack, fed, and cared for, they can be a popular exhibit animal. Moreover, career mode sees the player setting up a breeding pack in a Nevada zoo for Emma Goodwin, which is contrasted with Myers' more cynical exploration of Pandas.
139* SavageWolves: This said, wolves have a complex social pack structure in-game, which is best handled by adopting a 50/50 balance between males and females (or making a pack of up to 6 of either gender exclusively). Too many of one or the other can lead to some nasty infighting. And of course, they will attack any smaller herbivores they're exhibited with.
140
141!!Ring Tailed Lemur (''Lemur catta'')
142[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ring_tailed_lemur.JPG]]
143->'''Status:''' Endangered
144->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat (Walkabout)
145Small primates found on the southern reaches of the island of Madagascar. While endangered, they are a highly popular "flagship" species to represent the primitive primates of the island in popular culture.
146----
147* WeaponizedStench: When in competition for mates, males will engage in "stink fighting" by rubbing their tails through scent glands on their shoulders and wrists, then wafting their tails at each other.
148
149!!Galapagos Giant Tortoise (''Chelonoidis nigra'')
150[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/galapagos_giant_tortoises.JPG]]
151->'''Status:''' Vulnerable
152->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat (Walkabout)
153The largest tortoises on Earth, these big reptiles dwell exclusively on the Galapagos Islands off the coast of South America.
154----
155* LongLived: If well-cared for, they can last well over a century.
156
157!!Reticulated Giraffe (''Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata'')
158[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reticulated_giraffe.JPG]]
159->'''Status:''' Endangered
160->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
161Enormously tall ungulates that specialize in feeding on high branches. Giraffes in general are the tallest animals on Earth, if not the heaviest.
162----
163* GenialGiraffe: Unlike elephants and hippos, they're even-tempered enough to get cohabitation points with other African grassland herbivores. They're also one of the game's more popular species with guests.
164
165!!Western Chimpanzee (''Pan troglodytes verus'')
166[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/western_chimpanzee.JPG]]
167->'''Status:''' Critically Endangered
168->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
169Among humanity's closest relatives. Very social, highly-intelligent tool users, dexterous, strong, intelligent apes with an occasionally terrifying capacity for violence.
170----
171* TheGenericGuy: Among the great apes in-game. Unable to be comfortable in solitude like Orangutans, not quite as cheap as Bonobos, and not quite as popular as Gorillas, but cheaper than the latter and just as popular as the former (and able to be housed in greater numbers).
172
173!!African Wild Dog
174[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/african_wild_dogs.JPG]]
175->'''Status:''' Endangered
176->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
177Medium-sized canine predators from sub-Saharan Africa. While not the largest, fastest, or strongest predators on the African plains, their impressive stamina, and pack hunting strategies give them a much higher hunting success rate than other predators.
178----
179* BoringButPractical: They're not the biggest or most impressive predators, but they aren't too expensive and have low habitat requirements, and since they're endangered, breeding them will net you conservationist points.
180* ThePowerOfFriendship: One of the most social predators; they can comfortably live in packs of over two dozen animals.
181
182!!Cheetah (''Acinonyx jubatus'')
183[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cheetah.JPG]]
184->'''Status:''' Vulnerable
185->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
186The fastest land animal on Earth, a feline with a body incredibly well-adapted to speed... but not much else.
187----
188
189!!Saltwater Crocodile (''Crocodylus porosus'')
190[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/saltwater_crocodile.JPG]]
191->'''Status:''' Least Concern
192->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
193The world's largest crocodilians, with a range stretching from Southeast Asia to northern Australia. Powerful ambush predators with an immense bite force.
194----
195* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: While just as harmless to visitors as any other animal in-game, the zoopedia does mention it as responsible for more human deaths than any crocodilian (except maybe the Nile Crocodile).
196
197!!Springbok (''Antidorcas marsupialis'')
198[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/springbok.JPG]]
199->'''Status:''' Least Concern
200->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat (Walkabout)
201Relatively small, speedy antelopes from the deserts and grasslands of southwest Africa. Swift, nimble survivalists, they can get all the water they need from the plants they eat.
202----
203* ComMon: Relatively cheap and common, but not very popular.
204* ShrinkingViolet: Very shy, they don't like being watched by guests, though they can be found in large herds.
205
206!!Black Wildebeest (''Connochaetes gnou'')
207[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/black_wildebeest.JPG]]
208->'''Status:''' Least Concern
209->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
210Large antelope from the grasslands of southern Africa.
211----
212* ThePowerOfFriendship: They have a very high social requirement (a 7-animal herd is the ''minimum'' for keeping them comfortable) and can get compatibility bonuses with most other African herbivores.
213
214!!Indian Peafowl (''Pavo cristatus'')
215[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/indian_peafowl.JPG]]
216->'''Status:''' Least Concern
217->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat (Walkabout)
218Medium-sized birds native to the Indian subcontinent, the males are known for their spectacular plume of tail feathers. They're among the cheapest animals in the game and require relatively little space.
219----
220* ComMon: Cheap and easy to keep, but they aren't particularly popular with guests compared to other animals.
221* ExplosiveBreeder: They breed very easily, but perhaps too easily, as they could end up overcrowding the habitat.
222
223!!Bengal Tiger (''Panthera tigris'')
224[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bengal_tiger.JPG]]
225->'''Status:''' Endangered
226->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
227Large striped felines from southern India, and one of the biggest cats in the world.
228----
229* PantheraAwesome: Big, impressive felines, and like the Siberian Tiger, almost as popular with guests as Lions.
230
231!!Spotted Hyena (''Crocuta crocuta'')
232[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spotted_hyena.JPG]]
233->'''Status:''' Least Concern
234->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
235Large carnivores from the grasslands of Sub-Saharan Africa. Sturdy and adaptable, they're among the most successful large African predators.
236----
237* {{Matriarchy}}: Their packs in-game are led by an alpha female, and the females in general are slightly larger and stronger than the males.
238
239!!Bactrian Camel (''Camelus bactrianus'')
240[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bactrian_camel.JPG]]
241->'''Status:''' Domesticated
242->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
243The famous "two-humped" camel from the arid steppes of central Asia. One of the two fully domesticated animals in the game, they are hardy animals that can endure drought and a wide range of temperatures.
244----
245* BewareTheNiceOnes: Despite their "domesticated" status and generally laid-back attitude, they can bite if provoked, and have little fear of humans. As a result, visitors aren't allowed in their enclosures.
246* OnlyFriend: They get cohab bonuses only with Przewalski's Horses.
247
248!!Bornean Orangutan (''Pongo pygmaeus'')
249[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bornean_orangutan.JPG]]
250->'''Status:''' Critically Endangered
251->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
252Great apes from the island of Borneo, particularly well-adapted to life in the trees. Unlike most primates, they don't need a social group for comfort, though they'll also cohabitate comfortably in small groups.
253----
254* EruditeOrangutan: Sort of. They're still animals, with animal intelligence, but like all primates, they need a lot of interactive objects to keep them from getting bored.
255
256!!Common Ostrich (''Struthio camelus'')
257[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/common_ostrich.JPG]]
258->'''Status:''' Least Concern
259->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
260The largest birds in the world, big flightless bipeds from the plains of sub-Saharan Africa. They're also the fastest-running birds in the world, sprinting at up to 46 mph.
261----
262!!Common Warthog (''Phacochoerus africanus'')
263[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/common_warthog.JPG]]
264->'''Status:''' Least Concern
265->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
266A medium-sized wild porcine from across sub-Saharan Africa. Their massive tusks are mostly used for rooting for food, but occasionally for self-defense.
267----
268* ComMons: Cheap, easy to care for, and hardy, but one of the less popular attractions.
269* FullBoarAction: Not as impressive as some fictional examples, but they'll occasionally turn the tables on would-be predators.
270
271!!Snow Leopard (''Panthera uncia'')
272[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snow_leopard.JPG]]
273->'''Status:''' Vulnerable
274->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
275Medium-sized felines from the mountains of central Asia. Extremely elusive and shy, they are superbly adapted to their snowy high-altitude home.
276----
277* GreatWhiteFeline: Well, more of a very pale gray with black rosettes, but it still applies.
278* InASingleBound: Incredible leapers, even for cats, able to jump 6 meters in height and 15 meters in length. This makes them surprisingly hard to build habitats for, as they can jump straight over all but the tallest walls.
279* ShrinkingViolet: Extremely wary of humans, and solitary in general.
280
281!!Aldabra Giant Tortoise (''Aldabrachelys gigantea'')
282[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aldabra_giant_tortoise.JPG]]
283->'''Status:''' Vulnerable
284->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat (Walkabout)
285Sizeable tortoises from Aldabra Atoll in the Seychelles Islands. After the extinction of several different giant tortoise populations on islands across the Indian Ocean, they have been re-introduced to those islands in a bid to recreate the local ecosystems.
286----
287* ExplosiveBreeder: Zigzagged; while they breed in huge numbers, they grow up ''very'' slowly.
288* LongLived: They can live over 250 years, and seldom die of old age in a game.
289
290!!Indian Rhinoceros (''Rhinoceros unicornis'')
291[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/indian_rhino.JPG]]
292->'''Status:''' Vulnerable
293->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
294Big, thick-skinned rhinos from southern Asia. They prefer to have a decent amount of water in their habitats and can swim surprisingly well.
295----
296
297!!Okapi (''Okapia johnstoni'')
298[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/okapi.JPG]]
299->'''Status:''' Endangered
300->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat (Walkabout)
301Large ungulates from the densest rainforests of the Congo. Secretive, shy, and elusive, they are closely related to Giraffes.
302----
303* ShrinkingViolet: Extremely shy and reclusive, they live deep in the rainforest, relying on surprising stealth to stay undetected. In-game, they don't get enrichment bonuses from sharing their enclosure with other species, unlike most similarly-sized African ungulates until the [[FriendToAllLivingThings red river hogs]] got introduced in the tropical pack.
304
305!!Indian Elephant (''Elephas maximus indicus'')
306[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/indian_elephant.JPG]]
307->'''Status:''' Endangered
308->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
309A subspecies of Asian elephants from across southern mainland Asia. They're often preferred in zoos over their African cousins because of their more docile temperament.
310----
311* HonorableElephant: Due to their more docile nature than their African cousins, they can get cohabitation bonuses with a couple of other species (Namely, Proboscis Monkeys and Malayan Tapirs).
312* PaletteSwap: Justified, since they're two related real-world animals, but Indian Elephants have a few things that set them apart: they have a higher socialization need (5 animals minimum, as opposed to the 3 of the African Elephant), they're a little less expensive, and not ''quite'' as popular with visitors, but they also have much lower space requirements.
313
314!!Gharial (''Gavialis gangeticus'')
315[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gharial.JPG]]
316->'''Status:''' Critically Endangered
317->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
318Large crocodilians from waterways across India. Now, their population is restricted to four small stretches of river and is critically endangered.
319----
320* ArtisticLicenseBiology: They share the high-walking animation of other crocodilians in-game, but in real life, Gharials are unable to support their bodies with their legs and drag themselves through the sand and mud when out of the water.
321
322!!Pronghorn Antelope (''Antilocapra americana'')

326Not a true antelope, but the last surviving member of its own family, these fleet-footed ungulates can be found grazing across the western plains, mountains, and deserts of North America.
327----
328* ShrinkingViolet: Visitors can enter their habitats... because between their shyness and speed, those visitors won't get anywhere near them.
329
330!!Aardvark (''Orycteropus afer'')

332->'''Status:''' Least Concern
333->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat (Walkabout)
334A dog-sized burrowing mammal from sub-Saharan Africa. Shy and reclusive, it feeds almost exclusively on ants and termites.
335----
336* OddFriendship: The only animal that gets a mutual habitat bonus with the shy, solitary Aardvark is the much smaller, super-social Meerkat.
337* ShrinkingViolet: Solitary, very shy, and not a fan of crowds, whether human or animal.
338* TrademarkFavoriteFood: In addition to its diet of ants and termites (and meat gruel, in captivity), Aardvarks are the only animal that will eat the Aardvark Cucumber, which grows underground and is dependent on Aardvarks to spread their seeds. This is reflected in-game by said cucumber being their highest-tier food option.
339* TunnelKing: Can use the Large Burrow for shelter.

357->'''Status:''' Critically Endangered
358->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
359A subspecies of brown bear from south-central Asia, around the Himalayas in particular. Critically endangered, their wild population is in serious danger.
360----
361* PaletteSwap: Justified, since they're two different Brown Bear subspecies from different parts of the world, but they do have a few differences from the Grizzly Bear. They're slightly more popular and expensive, and require less room, and their young mature faster, but they're not quite as tolerant of high temperatures.
362

384
385!!Western Lowland Gorilla (''Gorilla gorilla gorilla'')
386[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/western_lowland_gorilla.JPG]]
387->'''Status:''' Critically Endangered
388->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
389Among the biggest primates in the world, these great apes live in family groups in the rainforests of central Africa.
390----
391* DifficultButAwesome: They're among the most popular animals in the game, rivaling Lions and Elephants, and they're very expensive, but they don't need as much space. That said, they do have social needs and require some climbing room, but since they're critically endangered, breeding them is enormously beneficial.
392* GentleGorilla: The game takes this view towards them... well, mostly, as guests can't enter their enclosures.
393
394!!Sable Antelope (''Hippotragus niger'')

398Medium-sized antelopes from the wooded savannah of southeast Africa. Unlike many horned animals, both males and females have large horns.
399----
400* ColorCodedCharacters: As they age, their coats turn a darker shade of brown. This helps determine seniority in their herds.
401
402!!Formosan Black Bear (''Ursus thibetanus formosanus'')

404->'''Status:''' Vulnerable
405->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
406A subspecies of Asiatic Black Bear, they are the largest mammals (and only bears) in Taiwan. They live in a diverse array of habitats. They were more comfortable in warmer, tropical habitats at launch, but subsequent updates made them more comfortable in cooler climates.

426->'''Status:''' Endangered
427->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
428The smallest of the great apes, and close relatives of the Chimpanzee, these African primates live in matriarchal family groups. Considerably less aggressive than their Chimpanzee relatives, they are known for being very... "affectionate" with one another.
429----
430* {{Matriarchy}}: Unlike Chimpanzees, they live in a society where females tend to hold more social status.
431
432!!Chinese Pangolin (''Manis pentadactyla'')

442->'''Status:''' Endangered
443->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
444Massive tigers from northeastern Asia. Arguably the biggest felines in the world, they are the only tiger species that live in the snow.
445----
446* PaletteSwap: Sort of. Justified by the animals being two different actual subspecies, but the biggest difference between the two is the Siberian's preference for colder temperatures.
447
448!!Greater Flamingo (''Phoenicopterus roseus'')

450->'''Status:''' Least Concern
451->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat (Walkabout)
452Tall wading birds with distinctive pink feathers and downturned beaks. They're found in brackish and saltwater marshes across southern Eurasia and coastal Africa.
453----
454* ComMon: Relatively cheap, and easy to breed, but not that popular with guests.
455* ThePowerOfFriendship: While Flamingos themselves never get much more popular with guests, they mitigate this better than other cheap animals by having an extremely high population limit of ''500 animals'', giving them lots of potential for expanding their population. That said, they're so social they also need a flock of at least 10 individuals to be fully socially comfortable.
456
457

523A close relative of the Green Iguana, from the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean. Due to hunting by invasive species, habitat loss, and hybridization with the invasive Green Iguana, they are critically endangered.
524----
525* PaletteSwap: Aside from the gray coloration, the biggest difference between it and the Green Iguana is the lack of a large scale on the jaw.

566->'''Status:''' Data Deficient
567->'''Interactivity:''' Exhibit
568A very large species of beetle from the rainforests of Central and South America.
569----
570* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Like other Exhibit animals, they need to be fed (leaf litter and detritus), and live a couple of years in captivity in the game. In reality, adult males do not eat and only live for a short time, spending their adult lives looking for mates. As for their prolific breeding in captivity, their longer-lived larvae have never been found.
571* ExplosiveBreeder: Such prolific breeders that raising and selling them for profit is a legitimate gameplay strategy for zoos strapped for cash.

695->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
696Much smaller, shyer, and somewhat less aquatic than their huge cousins, these endangered hippos dwell in the dense rainforests of west Africa.
697----
698* HuggyHuggyHippos: They fit this stereotype better than their larger cousin, being shyer and more docile.
699* MiniMook: Sort of. They are much smaller but just as popular as regular hippos, don't have the huge space requirements, and give players greater conservationism rewards since they're endangered. However, they're also best kept in much smaller groups (or even solitary), so they lack the draw potential of large groups.
700* RedOniBlueOni: The small, shy blue oni to the common hippo's fearless, pugnacious red.
701* ShrinkingViolet: Easily spooked, and best kept in quiet habitats.
702
703!!Komodo Dragon (''Varanus komodoensis'')

712->'''Status:''' Least Concern
713->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat (Walkabout)
714The most common gazelles in East Africa, these small grazers are among the fastest animals in the world.
715----
716* ComMon: Cheap, and can be kept in large numbers, but not particularly popular with guests.
717* ShrinkingViolet: Very shy around visitors. That said, they do well in groups, and will get cohabitation bonuses with many other African herbivores.

720[[folder:Species added in the Arctic Pack]]
721!!Polar Bear (''Ursus maritimus'')
722[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/polar_bear.JPG]]
723->'''Status:''' Vulnerable
724->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
725Massive white bears from the ice floes of the Arctic, these fearsome predators are also excellent swimmers.
726----
727* AwesomeButImpractical: One of the most popular animals in the game - right up there with lions, elephants, and gorillas - and unlike them, they don't have any social requirements, so just getting one is fine. That said, they have absolutely GIGANTIC space requirements (far larger than any other animal, even after a couple updates that reduced this requirement somewhat), have aquatic needs as well, and need to be kept constantly cold so they don't overheat (and they overheat at anything above 10 degrees Celsius). Consequently, most players find them more trouble than they're worth.
728* PolarBearsAndPenguins: You ''can'' create a habitat like this in-game, but unless you turn predation off in Sandbox mode, it's... not a good idea.
729
730!!Reindeer (''Rangifer tarandus'')
731[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reindeer.JPG]]

738[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arctic_wolf.JPG]]
739->'''Status:''' Least Concern
740->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
741A subspecies of Wolf from Canada's Queen Elizabeth Islands. Unlike most wolves, they're covered in distinctive white fur.
742----
743* NobleWolf: If kept in a well-maintained pack, fed, and cared for, they can be a popular exhibit animal.
744* PaletteSwap: One of the more blatant examples. There's barely any difference between them and Timber Wolves, save for their preferring colder weather and slightly simpler pack dynamics. Since Timber Wolves are already comfortable in fairly cold weather, this barely makes a difference in game mechanics.
745* SavageWolves: Like Timber Wolves, they have a complex social pack structure in-game, which is best handled by adopting a 50/50 balance between males and females (or making a pack of up to eight of either gender exclusively). Too many of one or the other can lead to some nasty infighting. Of course, they will attack any smaller herbivores they're exhibited with.
746
747!!Dall Sheep (''Ovis dalli'')
748[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dall_sheep.JPG]]

750->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
751Wild sheep from the high mountains of northwestern North America. Excellent climbers, they will travel great distances in search of salt licks.
752----
753* SweetSheep: Zigzagged. Shy around humans, and not particularly aggressive towards other species, though those horns aren't just for show.
754* UseYourHead: The males will occasionally headbutt each other for dominance. They'll occasionally headbutt each other - and even wolves - off high cliffs.

760->'''Status:''' Domesticated
761->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat (Walkabout)
762Large relatives of Camels from the steppes and highlands of the Andes. They have been domesticated as pack animals for centuries, and their thick wool spun into clothes.
763----
764* ColorCodedCharacters: Upon initial release, all Llamas in-game were white. Since then, a couple of upgrades have given players Llamas with many different shades of brown, white, and patches of both.
765* ComMon: Cheap, and good starter animals for cold-weather zoos, but not terribly popular.
766
767!!Jaguar (''Panthera onca'')
768[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jaguar.JPG]]

771A powerful feline ambush predator from South and Central America, and the third-biggest cat in the world (after Lions and Tigers).
772----
773* DontLookAtMe: They don't like visitors watching them, since they're ambush predators.
774* PantheraAwesome: The most popular animal with guests in the South America pack, and an impressive predator.
775
776!!Giant Anteater (''Myrmecophaga tridactyla'')

780Big insectivorous mammals from the rainforests and plains of South and Central America. Their massive claws are designed to tear into anthills and termite mounds, and they collect ants on their long, sticky tongues.
781----
782* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Visitors can enter their habitats in-game without danger. This is NOT recommended in real life, as they can occasionally be dangerous and aggressive toward people.
783
784!!Colombian White-Faced Capuchin Monkey (''Cebus capucinus'')

807* HerbivoresAreFriendly: Guests are able to enter their habitats without issue.
808* KangaroosRepresentAustralia: All over the decorations and marketing to an even greater extent than the other Australian animals. Ironically, they're not actually particularly popular with guests in-game.
809

813->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
814Descendants of dogs introduced to Australia thousands of years ago, they have since been fully acclimated into the ecosystem. The apex predators of most of the continent.
815----
816* AlphaAndBetaWolves: Played straight, like with all canines. However, it may be justified by the fact that canines in captivity don't always have the same social orders as ones in the wild.
817

847Large flightless, swimming seabirds from islands and coastlines around Antarctica.

849* ThePowerOfFriendship: Like Flamingos and African Penguins, they can be housed comfortably in populations of up to 500 animals, giving them potentially huge popularity with visitors.
850
851!!Giant Otter (''Pteronura brasiliensis'')
852[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/giant_otter.JPG]]
853->'''Status:''' Endangered
854->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
855The largest mustelid in the world, a big semiaquatic predator from the Amazon Rainforest. Social and playful, they are endangered due to habitat destruction.
856----
857* PlayfulOtter: The first otter in the game, and an above-average draw for guests, they'll play around with each other regularly. Zigzagged a bit in that it's still a predator, and other animals should be kept well away.
858
859!!Grey Seal (''Halichoerus gypus atlantica'')

863Medium-sized seals from the colder areas of the north Atlantic, living off the coast of Europe and North America.
864----
865* SweetSeal: Zigzagged. Fairly popular with guests, and not particularly aggressive, but it's still a predator and smaller animals should be kept away.

908->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
909The largest tapirs in the world, these semiaquatic herbivores dwell around rivers in southeast Asia.
910----
911* PaletteSwap: Probably the most blatant example in the game. They're smaller in-game than in reality, and have a few minor habits and traits more seen in the Baird's Tapir. Thankfully, their models got enhanced in the 1.16 update making them more distinct from Baird’s Tapir.

946->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat (Walkabout)
947Small, flightless seabirds from the coast of South Africa. Hunting and harvesting of their guano have contributed to the species' serious decline in the last century.
948----
949* ExplosiveBreeder: Penguins will breed quickly, a lot, and quickly fill their habitats with more of their kind. As a monogamous species though, they tend to not run into risks of inbreeding as quickly as other fast breeders. Being endangered also means releasing said offspring is an effective means of farming conservation credits.
950* ThePowerOfFriendship: Like a couple of other birds, they can be comfortably housed in groups of up to 500 animals.
951
952!!Meerkat (''Suricata suricatta'')

956A small, very social mongoose from the plains and deserts of southern Africa. They live in large groups led by an alpha female.
957----
958* {{Matriarchy}}: They're led by an alpha female, and are one of the few species where "bachelor groups" of a single gender can contain many males, but few females.
959* MisplacedWildlife: Downplayed; there are a number of decorative items in the game with an "Ancient Egypt" motif that show Meerkats on them... but Meerkats are exclusive to southern Africa, not northern.

972The most common Rhinoceros species in the world (and the only one that isn't endangered), these big horned grazers live on the plains and grasslands of southern Africa.
973----
974* RhinoRampage: Actually quite subdued and not very aggressive. In fact, they are docile enough to have compatibility bonuses with nine other savannah animals. When they ''are'' riled up, though, they're legitimately dangerous.
975
976!!Sacred Scarab Beetle (''Scarabaeus sacer'')

1037* ThePowerOfFriendship: They live in decent-sized groups, and are harmless enough to let visitors enter their habitats.
1038* TunnelKing: Like Meerkats, they can use the small burrow item for shelter, and tend to dig tunnels in their habitats if left alone long enough.
1039
1040!!American Bullfrog (''Lithobates catesbeianus'')

1096The largest rodents in the world, heavyset, peaceful grazers from the rivers, forests, and plains of South America.
1097----
1098* ExplosiveBreeder: Capybaras will breed fast. Fortunately they not only get along with each other a lot, but plenty of other animals like them too so a zoo could easily have enough Capybaras to fill multiple exhibits should they not feel like releasing their many children and want cheap cohabitation bonuses.
1099* FriendToAllLivingThings: Very even-tempered, and they get mutual cohabitation bonuses with ALL South American herbivores/omnivores except the Alpaca - even ones they wouldn't meet in the wild. Capuchins, Anteaters, Peccaries, and Tapirs have some range overlap, so it's understandable, but Llamas are from mountainous regions well out of their range, and Galapagos Tortoises don't even live on the mainland. They even can have humans enter their habitats as walkthrough animals and pet them as part of animal encounters.

1489----
1490
1491* NationalAnimalStereotypes: They have British names as their default names, most likely due to swan association with British aristocracy and royalty.
1492* SwansASwimming: They're safe enough for guests to enter their habitats.
1493
1494!!Saiga (''Saiga tatarica'')
1495[[quoteright:634:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/saiga_9.png]]

1497->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
1498A cold-weather antelope species from the Eurasian steppe, known for its distinctive proboscis. They were removed from the IUCN's Endangered Species list just days before the Eurasia Animal Pack's release, leading to their inaccurate "Critically Endangered" status in-game.
1499----
1500
1501* NationalAnimalStereotypes: Similarly to Przewalski's Horse, they have Mongolian names due to living on Mongolian steppes.
1502

1530->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat
1531Also known as the European Bison, this big, burly bovine is Europe’s heaviest land animal. Hunted to extinction in the wild in the early 20th century, captive populations have since been re-introduced into parts of their former range, and their population is slowly recovering.
1532----
1533
1534* NationalAnimalStereotypes: They live in few Slavic countries like Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Latvia, Slovakia and Bulgaria, and so have names common in these countries as their default ones (like Stefan, Feliks, Dasha, Cheslav, Anastasia, Ludmila, Dimitry etc.).

1558----
1559
1560* ExplosiveBreeder: These birds will breed fast. The only reason you might get overwhelmed by these birds in short order is because they have short lifespans, though so long as you avoid any inbreeding your zoo flocks won't run out quickly.
1561
1562!!Highland Cattle (''Bos primigenius taurus'')
1563[[quoteright:635:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/highland_cattle.JPG]]

1585->'''Status:''' Domesticated
1586->'''Interactivity:''' Habitat (Walkabout)
1587A domesticated descendant of the African Wild Ass. While North American Donkeys are a tiny portion of the world’s donkey population today, they were among the most common work animals in farms and mines for European settlers. Standard Donkeys are considered medium-sized, as opposed to the small Miniature and large Mammoth Donkeys. A sizeable feral population of the animals, locally known as Burros, has established itself in the American west.
