What the Zoopedia can confirm
The official Planet Zoo 2 Zoopedia is the strongest public source for the roster because it is maintained for the game itself. A published species entry can establish the game’s chosen common name and its inclusion in the roster. Depending on what Frontier exposes, an entry may later support conservation, habitat or social information. It does not automatically prove mechanics that are absent from the entry. We therefore cite the individual record when available and avoid filling missing fields with facts from the first game, real-world husbandry sites or community spreadsheets.
Confirmed, observed and requested are different lists
A confirmed animal has been named on an official Planet Zoo 2 page, store listing, press release or Zoopedia record. An observed animal is visible in footage or artwork but has not been clearly named; identification can be wrong because of distance, subspecies and edited shots. A requested animal is a community wish, not evidence. These labels prevent an attractive prediction from quietly becoming a false roster claim. The confirmed animals page contains only named evidence, while uncertain observations remain outside the indexable database until a first-party source resolves them. Confirmed: explicitly named by Frontier or an official store page Observed: visually identified but not officially named Requested: community demand or speculation
How species pages become publishable
A species URL should answer more than “is it in the game?” before it is promoted for indexing. The first version records the reveal source, confirmation date, category and which gameplay fields are still unknown. After release, editors verify habitat area, group size, biome, temperature, enrichment, diet, reproduction and compatibility directly against the current game version. If too few fields are known, the record can remain in the database for users while carrying noindex. This protects the site from thousands of near-empty animal pages created only to capture names.
Why Planet Zoo 1 values are not safe substitutes
A sequel can rebalance welfare thresholds, prices, research, social groups and habitat systems even when a species returns. Copying an older table would look complete while giving players the wrong answer. Real-world information has a different role: it may provide educational context, but it cannot establish an in-game requirement. Planet Zoo 2 values will be tied to an official entry, a cited interface capture or a repeatable test. Version-sensitive numbers will include the date and game version so later patches can be audited.
Launch-day Zoopedia verification queue
The launch audit starts with officially confirmed species, then checks animals needed by beginner guides and new aquarium or aviary systems. Two editors should be able to reproduce any numeric value from the same game screen. Names and units will be transcribed exactly, screenshots retained for editorial review, and conflicts placed in a pending queue. The public page will show what is known, what remains unknown and when it was last checked rather than disguising a placeholder as a finished guide.
