What the confirmed wording means

Realistic herding is confirmed as part of animal interaction, while the roster, species triggers and effect on welfare or space calculations remain species-specific questions. The official game description names realistic herd behaviour among the ways animals interact authentically with their surroundings. This page gives that claim one clear purpose and does not broaden promotional wording into unpublished mechanics.

How to observe the system responsibly

Observe movement with a stable habitat layout. The relevant decisions are what official wording confirms, what a herd-shaped movement does not prove, variables that can distort observation, when a species child guide is justified. Record the game version, mode, platform and visible interface state whenever those details could change the conclusion.

Claims that remain outside the evidence

A group moving together in footage does not establish minimum group size, leadership, migration, compatibility or a welfare bonus. Related evidence from Planet Zoo 1, real-world animal care or community interpretation can suggest a test, but it cannot substitute for Planet Zoo 2 data.
