About 40 programs that the San Diego Zoo participated in have worked to remove animals from the endangered list. That’s just fiction, right?Īctually, Planet Zoo has some basis in reality in this area too. What’s a player to do? You can release animals back to the wild and earn conservation points for it. What about the other side when your zoo has entirely too many animals, that causes a lot of problems in Planet Zoo. Speaking of which, that’s the beginning of a life cycle. You can consider it a listing service that zoos essentially have and a way to get new animals, making it a market in Planet Zoo is probably fine for the game. I’ll be putting them on the screen but it seems that at least the American studbooks are harder to find, sadly, but I just wanted to show that there is some validity to this.Īre these animals bought and sold with money? I’m pretty sure that the answer is absolutely not, at least not as a direct purchase I’m sure some zoo at some point has bought an animal before, but the point is with Species Survival Plans the idea is to bring genetic diversity to the species through interconnected work with many zoos. I was able to get my hands on a European Studbook, as well as an American Species Survival Plan with both of these being for the river hippopotamus. These books create a genealogy list and the organizations that run the Species Survival Plans will at times shuffle and move animals between zoos. And they have a list of animals in what’s known as a Studbook, and yes that is the actual name of these books. Zoos work with other zoos to maintain the species using what’s known as Species Survival Plans, as well as other plans. The first thing I want to call out is that the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park trumps that number of eighty species with over 650 species on display, not to mention the amazing botanical garden that it hasas well.īut as for the animal market, this is somewhat similar to real life. I want to talk about how factual many of these features are. You’re able to do this off an animal market that is available in the game and lets you purchase animals as you look at their genetics. So let’s get started, in Planet Zoo you’re able to build a zoo as you wish and can choose from 80 species of animals to purchase, exhibit, and potentially breed. I know what animal I’m talking about but I have enough interesting footage that I’m going to share as much as I can. ![]() I also might show unrelated animals at some point, such as a croc instead of a hippo. ![]() It’s a bit rough, but we do what we can with what we have. I had planned on going to the zoo multiple times over March, sadly San Diego Zoo was shut down on March 16th, I rushed and tried to get all the footage I would have needed for this video on that last weekend. I shot all of it and I will be honest, I’ve never really practiced being a filmographer which should be obvious from the footage. Just a note, the footage of the San Diego Zoo is a little rough. I will be taking a little step back from game design, and look more at how they’ve adapted the idea of running a zoo into the game. This sounds ludicrous, it is but we’re going to have fun with it and maybe we’ll learn something too. So yes, for April Fools Day, we’ll give an honest and fair comparison of Planet Zoo … against a real zoo. If you don’t know, the San Diego Zoo is incredible, it’s often one of the top-rated zoos in the world, they have a massive amount of conservation programs and efforts across the globe and an amazing collection. I have some bad news for Planet Zoo, my local zoo is the world-famous San Diego Zoo and Safari Park and that’s going to be rough, and I’ve personally been a member of this zoo since 2013 and I’m very proud of supporting them. I chose Planet Zoo because I am a Zoo aficionado, so it seems only right, to compare it to my local Zoo. ![]() In this series I tend to compare and contrast two or more games as best I can. This is a special video for this day, but not intended as a prank. I am not a fan of this day, mostly because there’s a huge difference between a great prank and what normally is done on April First. Of course, I’m publishing this video on April Fools Day, I’m going to be upfront about this.
