Editorial analysis

The Zoopedia is a marketing and reference tool, not a gameplay database; a species appearing there confirms it is in the game but does not confirm any specific stat, tank size or compatibility rule. This week’s batch leans aquatic and reptilian (tigerfish, reef shark, gharial, lionfish, eagle ray), which lines up with Planet Zoo 2’s confirmed aquarium focus rather than expanding the terrestrial mammal roster. The wiki tracks the running total (45 as of July 23) but treats it as a floor, not a ceiling, since Frontier has added new species almost every week since the reveal.
