I’m very happy we are getting this pack but I’m a little disappointed we never got flying birds or official modding tools but this will always be my favorite game of all time
Or an aquarium pack. What we got was not aquatics. Planet Zoo 2, assuming it does arrive some day, needs to give us sharks and cetaceans, at least harbour and finless porpoises if they think others are too "controversial", then modders have a cetacean rig.

I've been in this community long enough to remember like 3 different times when we thought "this dlc is the final one." And yet here we are at the 5th anniversary. I'm not giving up hope. Not yet! I'm saying we get one more in December before Christmas. By golly we are getting that secretary bird and tree Kangaroo and I'm going to have a Holly Jolly Christmas this year!
I really hope that's what's gonna happen, because I crave the secretary bird being added to PZ. It's been _all_ of my ZT2 files and I am missing that aspect *so much*. :')
Between -Wading birds (cranes, storks, herons, spoonbills, shoebills), -Waterfowl (Ducks, Big Ducks/Geese, Loons, Grebes), -Fowl (Pheasants, Guinea Fowl, Tropical Fowl), -Screamers, Ground Hornbill, Seriemas, Secretary birds, Bustards and I guess -the remaining Penguins, Flamingoes and Rheas if push comes to shove, we have enough birds within Frontiers bounds of "Flightability" to fill like three DLC while keeping a high amount of biodiversity. Then, assuming the walkthrough aspect of habitats is absolutely crucial, they can still add: -Hummingbirds -Macaws -Cockatoos -Small Parrots -Coastal birds -"Tropical small birds" While maintaining the standards set by the bats and butterflies.
I just want Frontier to officially confirm whether it's the last pack or not. I don't want another 6-12 months of speculation, hopeful thinking, and waiting for Frontier to maybe drop a hint in their socials. It feels like it's just unnecessarily dividing the community from each other and from Frontier themselves
With the very random assortment of animals, I’d say this is possibly the last pack - and I hate to say it and come off as ungrateful, but I am beyond disappointed. Secretary bird? Tree Kangaroo? Nope. But there are an additional two more hoof stock…. Sigh My guess is that they were initially planning a Highlands Pack with the Pallas Cat, Speculated Bear and Makhor, but something may have gone wrong in production thus giving us this very strange pack. For a ‘Zookeeper’s Pack’, very few of these were actually requested. To be fair, I lost hope once realising they were spending a suspiciously long time on the animals in the trailer. The trailers are usually a lot more cut-ie, but this one seemed too.. smooth? Anywho, either way, Im still purchasing it because I love this game far too much haha
Compare and contrast the JWE2 final "Zookeeper" DLC, which had three actually often requested animal (not sure why the hell people kept requesting Segisaurus but whatever) and one animal that at least like, filled a unique niche. Here we have... Three members of a Highlands pack in the form of chubby cat, fancy goat and bear, two primates people actually wanted, another African Hoofstock (but I guess at least they found the most unique one to make the inclusion feel less insulting), a Tortoise, and no mini exhibit animal...? Like don't get me wrong I like Spectacled bears and Pallas Cats and Sulcata Tortoises and Dikdiks, but like, I don't like them on the level of "This is the last DLC this game will get and if these get in we won't get any more birds, any arboreal marsupials, New World Primates, Asian/South American small Hoofstock, or dwarf goat to represent the somehow apparently most commonly kept in zoos animal there is", you know? If this WASN'T obviously the final DLC, I'd consider it a weird but acceptable selection, but as is...? :/
@@dr.archaeopteryx5512 Segisaurus was because it was like the very last canon dinosaur along with Microceratus that wasn't in the game, and Segisaurus was in the original Jurassic Park, just not shown on screen, alongside Baryonyx, Allosaurus and Metriacanthosaurus
@@mrsnake6562 Pretty sure Allosaurus wasn't in the first park either, but Herrerasaurus was. And we're still missing quite a few animals that are more interesting and are closer to being canon than Segisaurus, like Teratophoneus and Peleroplites of Fallen Kingdom (we see their skeletons), Smilodon from Camp Cretaceous, and a good fifth of the book species.
Despite the title of the trailer, I'm gonna be unrealistically optimistic and say they're gonna make a part 2 to this for December. And that one will be the last pack. Maybe not as a full animal pack but still. The time span adds up.
Strangely with these 7 animals plus the African Leopard, we are up to 195 animals which means we are 5 short from that sweet 200 mark. Meaning though I don't know how they are going to do it but there's at least 5 more animals coming before the game officially ends. The Secretary Bird and the Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo will likely be among them.
So I for some reason don’t think this is the last dlc I think this is just a trick to make us suspect that it is , giving the poor game developers the long break they need so if there is going to be another one it’s probably going to be summer 2025 . I think this mainly because it would be strange not to add two (common)zoo animals in a literal zoo keepers dlc the tree kangaroo and secretary bird , which without a doubt are the most requested animals for the game not to forget the primate species we most desperately need. In conclusion it would just feel weird not having something that they can simply add to the game especially if it’s the last dlc.(sorry if this sounds like rage)but I do love the dik-dik sifaka and baboon.
@@ventureworld8046with that it sounds possible to get another pack with those three, but the name of this pack makes it sound like it's the final one (based on name, especially considering it's similar to the final JWE2 one)
Unfortunately there is still the North American black bear plus all the Asian subspecies so if we do get another pack it'll probably have a couple more bears to Planet Disappointment
6:51 The coolest and my favorite fact about spectacle bears is that they’re the last living member of the “Tremarctinae” family, also known as the short faced bears. As you might know, The second most famous Tremarctinae is “Arctotherium angustidens” which was the largest species of bear to ever live. my head canon is that Paddington is just a species of small, intelligent, margarine eating, short faced bear.
Interesting choice Frontier made, I will never be realy happy with the game without more birds! Also when i visited Stuttgart Zoo i noticed That they have Dik-diks and bongos in one habitat, I hope frontier adds Interspecies enrichment for those two
Sounds to me like this was meant as a highlands/mountains/etc. pack with the baboon, bear, markhor, Pallas' cat, dik-dik, and two other species (possibly Chilean flamingo as one), but then part way through changed course and replaced those two mystery animals to make it a Zookeeper's pack. Disappointing for the final pack to not include at least one bird, but I am happy to finally get baboons.
The sifaka for me. I've seen them in the wild in Madagascar and they're awesome. It is a bit sad if this is this is the last pack that we won't get a coati, walrus, and other highly requested animals :)
Super interested in the Pallas cat, Markhor and baboon. Which is funnily enough the animals already revealed. But the rest of these animals just feel….. off. I love this game to death, and will definitely build for them all. But for the animal selection and then calling it a zookeepers pack feels very disconnected from the community on Frontiers part. This whole pack is definitely more of a highlands/Middle East pack. Which is completely fine! But labeling it as zookeepers, and then not adding some of the most requested animals on the meta wishlist is definitely interesting to me. Still very excited though!!
Technically, if you have followed to pre-marketing cycle, the DikDik was always meant to be in the game from the start as well, as it was reported that it was in the game in beta-build.
I'm somehow just finding you, love your enthusiasm for the animals!! I have a wishlist but am always thrilled regardless. I would have liked that Secretary Bird but am not unhappy with this. I hope it isn't the last dlc.
I've got to say, I'm kinda disappointed with this pack, especially if it's the final pack. We could have gotten a Secretary Bird, a Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo, and a Geoffroy's Spider Monkey, but Frontier gave us yet another bear, another tortoise, and another lemur. This pack's roster could have been great, but we'll just have to settle for alright. The lack of any birds at all is what really irks me.
@@zachjohnson9391 The point is, the animals I mentioned are unique. A tree kangaroo is significantly different from a red kangaroo, the secretary bird is unlike any other bird we have in the game, and the geoffroy's spider monkey is also unique.
I feel like this isn't the last pack but if it is then that was at least better than the barnyard pack...lol but I think we might get one more in December. * I just realized with this pack will be at 195 animals I really hope the end goal is 200 that means the final pack clear across that but nevertheless I am happy with what we got and if this is the end thank you planet zoo truly for making my dreams come true
Hope you enjoyed your time in Lisbon! The first time I saw those baboons was also at the Lisbon zoo back when I first moved to Portugal. I couldnt take the pink butts seriously. I am absolutely stoked about pallas cat and dikdik with this dlc. And just like everyone else I really hope this isnt the last dlc for a long time! Thanks for the video!
As someone who builds a Primatology Center, this Pack will be great. But I'm a bit disappointed. Why no Exhibit Animal? No Chameleon, no Gecko, no Cobra, no Python, no Fish or Crustaceans. There's still so much missing
@@Toadey2012 it is pretty nice. Just couldn't work on it in a While and it also has a normal Zoo attached. Also thought at maybe adding a Lab for Experiments involving Animal Behavior
Maybe I'm just being hopeful because I still really want Walruses, but I feel like there may be at least one more pack, maybe a Keepers Pack 2? I can't feel like they would put those other animals on the dictionary for nothing. I mean back in the day didn't coding for the King Penguin, Giant Otter, and Sun Bear accidentally all get revealed on a stream or something? They all didn't get put on the same pack. Again probably just wishful thinking even though I don't really care about the Secretary Bird or Tree Kangaroo, I just want a walrus at this point. Although i am pretty excited for the Pallas Cat since I worked with them quite a bit irl
I went to the National Zoo in Washington D.C. and I saw a Spectacled Bear peeing so much, I thought he had drunk the entire ocean. Glad to see the final bear (besides American Black Bear) be in this pack
Uhmm... 7 animals, I dont know really, like I think its too soon to give an opinion, but im not sure about it, especially since this seems to be the last pack
Don't get me wrong. I'd love every time a new DLC gets released in PZ, but of all the reveals I've seen so far, this has to be the worst showcase and it feels like a huge disgrace to the community, especially if they are truly committed to round up Planet Zoo with a few of the most lackluster/uninteresting limiting animal options.
I grew up with my grandparents having two African spurred tortoises called Flip and Flop. Thats what I will be calling them in the game. We worked out that they were 10 when I was born and so will probably outlive me lol
Personally I love half of the animals here, and the other half would’ve been swapped for something else but it’s no bad. Now the real disappointment is that there’s not going to be an even number of animals in the game.
Dang it, no tree kangaroo, secretary bird, howler monkey, OR shoebill, but sure a dik dik, sure yeah I love all the animals in this pack but no exhibit animals PLUS that 5 months frontier was gone they could’ve added the secretary or shoebill sure they’re birds but ones a wading bird that can use most of the crane animation and the secretary only needs a kicking animation
I'm very happy about the Andean Bear and the Markhor and Pallas cat. The rest of the pack is also quite nice. Yes I do think that this is the last pack (sadly). In general I would have preferred if they added more South American animals to the game. For example, the Howler Monkey instead of sifaka or a Pudu instead of dik-dik. And because the game lacks birds, perhaps a pelican instead of another tortoise. But as it is I like all the new creatures, and for sure I'll have a place for them in my zoos.
Yeah, i also feel extremely disappointed with this roster of animals. Like, did we really need to get more African and Asian animals. I mean... out of the seven included, 4 are from Africa (Dikdik, Spurred, Sifaka, Hamadrayas) and 3 are from Asia (Hamadrays, Pallas and Markhor). A lot of those could have been replaced with other animals, so we could have the other continents get represented too Hamadrayas > Barbary Macaque (And yes, while an African monkey, it also lives in Europe) Sifaka > Tree Kangaroo (Oceania Rep). Markhor > Moose (North America Rep)... heck even the Muskox would have been another option. Even the Spectacled can be replaced with another South American animal, since honestly, do we need yet another bear. Us getting the Tamandua, or even the Ocelot or Jaguarundi, would have felt more unique than yet another bear, but even with the Ocelot and Jaguarundi you could make the argument for us not really needing another South American Feline species. The Asian Water Monitor would have done fine as well and even if they wanted 2 species of monkey/ape in the line-up, the Marmoset is right there for the taking as well, which would have given us another smaller monkey species in the game as an option alongside the Capuchin (Maybe even sharing Interspecies bonus with eachother) + the Marmoset and Capuchin would have felt unique either way as well, as they would have been the only New World Monkeys in the game (Now Capuchin is the only one). This pack feels extremely lazy... since all the animals use templates of already existing ones. Dikdrik actually gets a pass from me, considering it was always meant to be in the game, as it was reported in, in the beta.
I am super excited for the Pallas Cat of course. I'm also excited for the Spectacled Bear and the African Spurred Tortoise. I've had the mods for those two species for FOREVER. While it's always bittersweet watching a mod be replaced by an official creature, it's also amazing at the same time.
Hello @Leaf! Hope you enjoyed Portugal and the Lisbon Zoo! I think this isn't the last DLC or the end of Planet Zoo. But, for this pack I was expecting something bigger. I'm happy for the cats and the baboon, but a bit disapointed without any bird in the pack. Also, I thing blackbuck instead dik dik would be a better choice. Anyway, still waiting for the birds and the blackbuck.
I think it probably is the "last DLC". It feels like a "send off", in that it's a celebration of the game and community (with nods to both Zoo Tycoon and Zoboomafoo, both things the devs would likely have nostalgia for). It goes against the established naming scheme, making it hard to parse together what it could include. And, considering Planet Coaster's development stopped when Planet Zoo came out, it seems Frontier wants to prioritize one Planet game at a time... and Planet Coaster 2 is coming out in less than a month. They're hopping back and forth, carrying over improvements made for each, so we'll likely get a Planet Zoo 2 in a few years that utilizes PC2's new pathing system (among others). Kind of sucks a bit in the moment, for players of Planet Zoo, but it's a total boon in the long run for the franchise. The alternative is that they spread themselves thinner and string us along, with PZ playing a constant game of catch-up that inevitably breaks something.
I hope this isn't the last pack! There are way too many animals that haven't been added! Unless they're working on a Planet Zoo 2 they need to keep this game going
They should add features like placing two points, let's say high on two poles that would, when placed, connect by a "ragdoll" rope, so it would be whole lot more realistic
Man so excited for this pack, great choice of animals, par maybe the Markhor I would replace with the secretary bird. So excited for the sifaka, lemurs are my favorite animals and to finally have such a unique species of lemur in game is so awesome. The dik dik as well gonna be so cute to have :)
On one hand, I hope that Planet Zoo continues. There are still so many animals and possibilities for DLCs. On the other hand, I’m also very excited to finally play with mods, which I’ve avoided so far because of the updates.
This fees a lot more like an anniversary pack tbh with the free update, career scenario and scenery pieces. Also feels like it’s missing major inclusions like the secretary bird, walrus, coati etc. Would have preferred they called it the anniversary animal pack then released a zookeepers collection one in a few months time for the final dlc with some of these other animals.
I really wish they just gave us 10 animals instead of the usual 8 and included the secretary bird and tree kangaroo, it just would’ve made this pack so much better. Nonetheless, I actually really like all of the animals in this pack, my least favorite is probably the markhor. But I’m really happy to have spectacle bears, Sifakas are great, hamadryas baboons and palace cats are great, dik dik are cute and I think a small angulate is actually a great addition, and I actually love sulcata tortoise too. My friend took care of one for a bit, he dug a borrow that was no cap 6 ft deep in my friends backyard, it was awesome to see, it would be really sick if the tortoises in game could use the borrow.
7 animals - 7 continents Should've been a no brainer But instead we get 4 African animals, 2 Asian animals including another cat, and last+definitely least, yet another bear. Congrats Frontier you disappoint once again.
If the sulcata cant wallow in the mud or use the burrows I'm gonna riot! Also was hoping for either the batagur or nile crocodile, but I'm more than happy to have another tortoise in the game
This is 99% the last DLC, and while its a cool pack in itself it imo fails pretty hard at being a good final pack. The/a baboon was my most wanted animal for a while but none of the others were in my top 20 or probably even 30 most wanted animals. So pretty disapointing pack to me and im honestly way more excited about modders throwing caution to the wind than the dlc
Hey Leaf, I want to ask you, since you visit a lot of zoos, what did you think of the Lisbon Zoo when it comes to animal enrichment and space? The last time I visited, I promised myself I would never give them money again. I saw the saddest orangutan ever and a snow leopard with less space than my house cat... As an Egyptologist, I know that ancient Egyptians imported many animals from the south, including baboons and monkeys, which they kept as pets. In fact, there was a mummy of a priestess, and for a long time, we thought she was buried with her child, which was amazing because there aren't many examples of child mummies. However, thanks to recent X-ray technology, we discovered it wasn’t a child, but her pet monkey, which she cared for so much that he died she had him mummified and later buried with her. I’m not sure if baboons lived in Egypt (my area is diplomacy), but there were two instances of climate change that impacted the local fauna. However, Egyptians didn’t hunt baboons, so I don’t think human actions caused their decline. I hope this isn’t the last pack. I love the Pallas's cat soo much, but I can’t finish my Egyptian area without a jackal, and Nile crocodile, and an Arabian leopard. :(
The main thing I'm sad about with this pack is the lack of any exhibit animals, walkthrough or otherwise. That being said, I do like the animal line-up here, I've been hoping for an African spurred tortoise for a while.
I'm happy to see the baboon added to the game but I really feel like they missed out if this is our last dlc. Honey badger, secretary bird, howler monkey, any African crocodile, tree/croc monitors? Honestly I'm more excited to get the African leopard added for free
This is 99% the last DLC for Planet Zoo. It's good, nice selection of animals. This should be way way better pack then the last one. I didn't expected nothing too demanding from them though, since they will move full focus on future projects. Something like South American monkeys or tree kangaroos or even sea turtles and walruses. They are done with PZ and it wasn't realistic they will invest some extraodinary time into it, but still nice pack.
Considering it hasn’t been confirmed yet like other frontier games, I’m guessing this isn’t the last pack. One more scenery pack with five more animals sounds reasonable, and would get to the 200 animal mark. Secretary bird, tree kangaroo, walrus and others have hope yet!!!
the party scenario makes me feel like it could be the last pack BUT they do call it an 5 year anniversary party so maybe not. As long as the audience is buying packs and they game remains running smoothly, they should keep making them. most animals feel like reskins anyway 😅
Expansion announcement coming. Too many bird names and marine related words in the Planco dictionary to be the end, that thing's a giant spoiler if you're paying attention. 5 year anniversary is no small thing. Would explain the push to consoles and relative silence in the lead up - bigger market and more hype for what's coming. Betting on an exhibit system revamp given they've been missing from a couple DLCs now seemingly at random. It's not a coincidence one of the big themes of this DLC is celebration/event planning.
2:47 I looked it up, apparently there were never naturally any hamadryas baboons in Egypt, the Egyptians just like them so much that they were often imported from Ethiopia or Somalia. Like sacred crocodiles and many other animals, they were often mummified after one passed away. In mythology, they were heavily associated with the underworld and the god Anubis, and there was a god that was more specifically associated with baboons named Babi, he was basically the god of masculinity and masculine power.
Honestly, I'm not AS disappointed with this one as a lot of people are. Only one I'd really replace is the dik dik, that one feels extremely not requested at all. But yeah, Pallas cats are iconic, Hamadryas baboons are important cause they're baboons, markhors are Zoo Tycoon staples, spectacled bears are one of the few bears I'll tolerate in this game, another reptile is always gonna be welcome, Zoboomafoo is here... I actually do feel very good about those choices, they feel exciting enough to me. I would've honestly replaced the dik dik with a secretarybird or pelican, and if that were the case, it would've been a perfect pack for me.
Funnily enough, the DikDik has been reported that it was in the game in beta-build, so it would come in eventually anyways. Frontier basically had no choice, but that include it. Maybe it was their own personal choice to put it in the Zookeepers Pack.
I'm happy with this pack. If it's the last one, it's a good one...I'm kind of curious though. Last two animal packs didn't have exhibit animals. That probably means nothing. Just something that sticks out to me is all.
if this is the final animal dlc/update, i'm a bit disappointed we didn't get tamanduas, shoebill or tanuki (or much japan endemic species for that matter) edit: but atleast this pack gives us TWO primates, somthing the game really lacks
So I’m very mixed abt this pack. While 4 of the animals are absolute stunners and great additions (Pallas cat, Markhor, Baboon, and Spectacled Bear) the other 3 not so much. Again we have gotten more African animals when we already have more than enough. They choose animals over the top requested ones (being Secretary Bird, Walrus, Echidna, and Tree Kangaroo) for ones that were farther down the list. Now I’d be less upset if it were the same but replace the Dik Dik with some Asian hoofstock (Black Buck, Axis Deer, or Muntjac) and given us a South American primate (Howler or Spider monkey) than just another lemur, Heck I’d have even taken the Indri over Sifika (know I butchered it) cause I don’t see much Indri love. And then the Tortoise…. Like I don’t think I’ve seen many people even ask for the African Spurred. I would’ve taken Nile Crocodile over it. If this is a last pack I think it’s sad that they’re ending on this note. And not giving us more diversity for continents that need it like South America and Australia
We can finally have Zoboomafoo in planet zoo also I'm going to make a giant enclosure with the different kinds of lemurs in the game and name one of the ring-tailed lemurs King Julian
![Tigerstar's (Genetically Realistic) Family Tree [CC]](/img/1.gif)
I’m very happy we are getting this pack but I’m a little disappointed we never got flying birds or official modding tools but this will always be my favorite game of all time
We will see flying birds in Paz 2
I'd rather have them implement birds and aquatic life in Planet Zoo 2 when it's fully worked out instead of just giving us some birds in PZ1
Well, we need to wait 2 years to get them with pz2
Bro they always say if support ends expect for jwe so it’s impossible this is the last one.
Or an aquarium pack. What we got was not aquatics. Planet Zoo 2, assuming it does arrive some day, needs to give us sharks and cetaceans, at least harbour and finless porpoises if they think others are too "controversial", then modders have a cetacean rig.
The fanbase: "we want flying birds, fish, custom models"
PZ: "Oops! All goats"
markhor is about the best goat we could have gotten though so thats nice
probably saving those for a potential pz2!
Proper flying birds was pretty out there to expect this late into the game tbh
Though I'm definitely leaning on expecting them in the sequel

"I find your lack of birds disturbing." ~ Darth Avers
maybe another type of peafowl/falcons
Thus why the Crane pack and the Swan packs are necessary dlc
Between
-Wading birds (cranes, storks, herons, spoonbills, shoebills),
-Waterfowl (Ducks, Big Ducks/Geese, Loons, Grebes),
-Fowl (Pheasants, Guinea Fowl, Tropical Fowl),
-Screamers, Ground Hornbill, Seriemas, Secretary birds, Bustards and I guess
-the remaining Penguins, Flamingoes and Rheas if push comes to shove,
we have enough birds within Frontiers bounds of "Flightability" to fill like three DLC while keeping a high amount of biodiversity. Then, assuming the walkthrough aspect of habitats is absolutely crucial, they can still add:
-Hummingbirds
-Macaws
-Cockatoos
-Small Parrots
-Coastal birds
-"Tropical small birds"
While maintaining the standards set by the bats and butterflies.
I still can’t believe there’s no new birds. But I’ll happily buy this pack anyways
If we get a planet zoo 2 maybe birds and fish would be added
I just want Frontier to officially confirm whether it's the last pack or not. I don't want another 6-12 months of speculation, hopeful thinking, and waiting for Frontier to maybe drop a hint in their socials. It feels like it's just unnecessarily dividing the community from each other and from Frontier themselves
Realistically, this should be the last pack, as the switch towards PlanCo 2 has been made development wise.
Love the zoo tycoon music in the beginning
Paying homage to my roots
Whenever i hear anything zoo tycoon related it feels so nostalgic
it would be too horrible for them not to add the sitting animation the pallas cat, it's the only thing i've been thinking of since they announced it.

Sorry coquerel's sifaka is one of my favorite animals
Oh yeah!🤩
With the Kratt Brothers!
Yaaay Zaboo Mafoo!
its awesome I love zoboomafoo you gotta give him food for him to talk!
Despite the title of the trailer, I'm gonna be unrealistically optimistic and say they're gonna make a part 2 to this for December. And that one will be the last pack.
Maybe not as a full animal pack but still.
The time span adds up.
There is still room for 5 more animals before we hit 200
I hope they do so much I am hoping there is like a couple other animals in the pack
Me: “Oh cute, apples for more details and backstage areas!”
Leaf: “Idk maybe you have a dead pig and have to throw one in its mouth or something”
Strangely with these 7 animals plus the African Leopard, we are up to 195 animals which means we are 5 short from that sweet 200 mark. Meaning though I don't know how they are going to do it but there's at least 5 more animals coming before the game officially ends.
The Secretary Bird and the Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo will likely be among them.
This is the last pack unless u use mods
So I for some reason don’t think this is the last dlc I think this is just a trick to make us suspect that it is , giving the poor game developers the long break they need so if there is going to be another one it’s probably going to be summer 2025 . I think this mainly because it would be strange not to add two (common)zoo animals in a literal zoo keepers dlc the tree kangaroo and secretary bird , which without a doubt are the most requested animals for the game not to forget the primate species we most desperately need. In conclusion it would just feel weird not having something that they can simply add to the game especially if it’s the last dlc.(sorry if this sounds like rage)but I do love the dik-dik sifaka and baboon.
Nicee pack! But i hope it is not the last pack... I miss the coati, secretary bird and Treekangaroo
With this pack there are 195 animals in the game meaning we still have 5 left before we hit 200 which Frontier has said they wanted.
@@ventureworld8046with that it sounds possible to get another pack with those three, but the name of this pack makes it sound like it's the final one (based on name, especially considering it's similar to the final JWE2 one)
@@tyrannapusandfriends6254PLANET ZOO IS GONNA BE GONE? 😦😦😦
No Tree Kangaroo unfortunately, but we get another bear…
Unfortunately there is still the North American black bear plus all the Asian subspecies so if we do get another pack it'll probably have a couple more bears to Planet Disappointment
6:51 The coolest and my favorite fact about spectacle bears is that they’re the last living member of the “Tremarctinae” family, also known as the short faced bears. As you might know, The second most famous Tremarctinae is “Arctotherium angustidens” which was the largest species of bear to ever live. my head canon is that Paddington is just a species of small, intelligent, margarine eating, short faced bear.
Interesting choice Frontier made, I will never be realy happy with the game without more birds!
Also when i visited Stuttgart Zoo i noticed That they have Dik-diks and bongos in one habitat, I hope frontier adds Interspecies enrichment for those two
Sounds to me like this was meant as a highlands/mountains/etc. pack with the baboon, bear, markhor, Pallas' cat, dik-dik, and two other species (possibly Chilean flamingo as one), but then part way through changed course and replaced those two mystery animals to make it a Zookeeper's pack. Disappointing for the final pack to not include at least one bird, but I am happy to finally get baboons.
No birds in this pack is making me insane in ways I cannot describe.
Fr it’s like they’re actually making a deliberate choice to not include birds at this point.
That probably is the case, because then it would make the second game more special.
Zoboomafoo the Coquerel's Sifaka is coming to Planet Zoo, nostalgia of Zoboomafoo and Kratt Brothers
The sifaka for me. I've seen them in the wild in Madagascar and they're awesome. It is a bit sad if this is this is the last pack that we won't get a coati, walrus, and other highly requested animals :)
I hope the conquered’s sifaka can have guest walk in its habitat and be in the same habitat as the other lemurs
I love dik's so much.
Dik-Dik.

*brat summer memories kick back in*
Super interested in the Pallas cat, Markhor and baboon. Which is funnily enough the animals already revealed. But the rest of these animals just feel….. off. I love this game to death, and will definitely build for them all. But for the animal selection and then calling it a zookeepers pack feels very disconnected from the community on Frontiers part. This whole pack is definitely more of a highlands/Middle East pack. Which is completely fine! But labeling it as zookeepers, and then not adding some of the most requested animals on the meta wishlist is definitely interesting to me. Still very excited though!!
Technically, if you have followed to pre-marketing cycle, the DikDik was always meant to be in the game from the start as well, as it was reported that it was in the game in beta-build.
@@nickdentoom1173 oh really? I did not know that! Thanks!
Dallas zoo used to have dik diks and were among my favourite to visit.
Also the pallas cat absolutely must warm it's feet with its tail.
I'm somehow just finding you, love your enthusiasm for the animals!! I have a wishlist but am always thrilled regardless. I would have liked that Secretary Bird but am not unhappy with this. I hope it isn't the last dlc.
I've got to say, I'm kinda disappointed with this pack, especially if it's the final pack. We could have gotten a Secretary Bird, a Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo, and a Geoffroy's Spider Monkey, but Frontier gave us yet another bear, another tortoise, and another lemur. This pack's roster could have been great, but we'll just have to settle for alright. The lack of any birds at all is what really irks me.
I will personally advocate for the Lemur and Tortoise. Both are technologically difficult to pull off well
Well following off your logic, you just wanted another bird, another kangaroo and another monkey
@@zachjohnson9391 The point is, the animals I mentioned are unique. A tree kangaroo is significantly different from a red kangaroo, the secretary bird is unlike any other bird we have in the game, and the geoffroy's spider monkey is also unique.
@@zachjohnson9391how many kangaroos do we have? And birds are needed in planet zoo especially flying birds. Birds will make zoos feel more realistic
I feel like this isn't the last pack but if it is then that was at least better than the barnyard pack...lol but I think we might get one more in December.
* I just realized with this pack will be at 195 animals I really hope the end goal is 200 that means the final pack clear across that but nevertheless I am happy with what we got and if this is the end thank you planet zoo truly for making my dreams come true
Hope you enjoyed your time in Lisbon! The first time I saw those baboons was also at the Lisbon zoo back when I first moved to Portugal. I couldnt take the pink butts seriously. I am absolutely stoked about pallas cat and dikdik with this dlc. And just like everyone else I really hope this isnt the last dlc for a long time! Thanks for the video!
Sees Pallas Cat
Me: THE BODY IS ROUND
I personally think this is just a pack to keep us interested in the game and they actually plan to make birds
As someone who builds a Primatology Center, this Pack will be great. But I'm a bit disappointed. Why no Exhibit Animal?
No Chameleon, no Gecko, no Cobra, no Python, no Fish or Crustaceans. There's still so much missing
A Primatology Center? THAT'S ACTUALLY AWESOME! 👏👏👏
@@Toadey2012 it is pretty nice. Just couldn't work on it in a While and it also has a normal Zoo attached.
Also thought at maybe adding a Lab for Experiments involving Animal Behavior
Actually hamadryas baboons were never native to Egypt; Egyptians got then through trade, IIRC from Punt
this is so cool thank you!
Maybe I'm just being hopeful because I still really want Walruses, but I feel like there may be at least one more pack, maybe a Keepers Pack 2? I can't feel like they would put those other animals on the dictionary for nothing. I mean back in the day didn't coding for the King Penguin, Giant Otter, and Sun Bear accidentally all get revealed on a stream or something? They all didn't get put on the same pack. Again probably just wishful thinking even though I don't really care about the Secretary Bird or Tree Kangaroo, I just want a walrus at this point. Although i am pretty excited for the Pallas Cat since I worked with them quite a bit irl
I went to the National Zoo in Washington D.C. and I saw a Spectacled Bear peeing so much, I thought he had drunk the entire ocean. Glad to see the final bear (besides American Black Bear) be in this pack
7:01 Padington was based out of golden spectacled bear found in andys (sorry, i cant write english that well)
loved hearing you say "obrigado"
🤗
So excited for the spectacled bear and omg the african spurred tortoise, we have a bunch of them where I work they're so gorgeous
Uhmm... 7 animals, I dont know really, like I think its too soon to give an opinion, but im not sure about it, especially since this seems to be the last pack
It feels like a very weird way to end the game
@@LeafProductions yeah, its weird indeed 🥲
Two words: utter disappointment
Don't get me wrong. I'd love every time a new DLC gets released in PZ, but of all the reveals I've seen so far, this has to be the worst showcase and it feels like a huge disgrace to the community, especially if they are truly committed to round up Planet Zoo with a few of the most lackluster/uninteresting limiting animal options.
Pls planet zoo don’t end the game without a secretary bird or parrot walkthrough exhibit
as an extreme bear lover i am so excited for the spectacled bear
I grew up with my grandparents having two African spurred tortoises called Flip and Flop. Thats what I will be calling them in the game. We worked out that they were 10 when I was born and so will probably outlive me lol
THEY PUT ECHIDNA , TREE KANGAROO AND SECRETARY IN THE DICTIONARY.
I really wanted the:
Markhor(getting added)
Impala
Chacma Baboon
Common Eland
Spectacled Bear(getting added)
Honey badger
Darn, no birdies 😒, but we got 2 primates 🤩🐒 i legit didn't think we'd get sifakas cause their model is different from the current lemurs
No birds??? 😭 I had been holding out hope that we’d eventually get some more birds or maybe even aviaries but I guess not…
Not one feathered creature? Not even one? 5 months for… nevermind!
Personally I love half of the animals here, and the other half would’ve been swapped for something else but it’s no bad.
Now the real disappointment is that there’s not going to be an even number of animals in the game.
I am glad that we have gotten support on the game for this long.
Dang it, no tree kangaroo, secretary bird, howler monkey, OR shoebill, but sure a dik dik, sure yeah I love all the animals in this pack but no exhibit animals PLUS that 5 months frontier was gone they could’ve added the secretary or shoebill sure they’re birds but ones a wading bird that can use most of the crane animation and the secretary only needs a kicking animation
the markhor was my favorite animal in zoo tycoon and im so excited to see them come to planet zoo!
I'm very happy about the Andean Bear and the Markhor and Pallas cat. The rest of the pack is also quite nice.
Yes I do think that this is the last pack (sadly). In general I would have preferred if they added more South American animals to the game. For example, the Howler Monkey instead of sifaka or a Pudu instead of dik-dik.
And because the game lacks birds, perhaps a pelican instead of another tortoise.
But as it is I like all the new creatures, and for sure I'll have a place for them in my zoos.
Yeah, i also feel extremely disappointed with this roster of animals.
Like, did we really need to get more African and Asian animals. I mean... out of the seven included, 4 are from Africa (Dikdik, Spurred, Sifaka, Hamadrayas) and 3 are from Asia (Hamadrays, Pallas and Markhor). A lot of those could have been replaced with other animals, so we could have the other continents get represented too
Hamadrayas > Barbary Macaque (And yes, while an African monkey, it also lives in Europe)
Sifaka > Tree Kangaroo (Oceania Rep).
Markhor > Moose (North America Rep)... heck even the Muskox would have been another option.
Even the Spectacled can be replaced with another South American animal, since honestly, do we need yet another bear. Us getting the Tamandua, or even the Ocelot or Jaguarundi, would have felt more unique than yet another bear, but even with the Ocelot and Jaguarundi you could make the argument for us not really needing another South American Feline species. The Asian Water Monitor would have done fine as well and even if they wanted 2 species of monkey/ape in the line-up, the Marmoset is right there for the taking as well, which would have given us another smaller monkey species in the game as an option alongside the Capuchin (Maybe even sharing Interspecies bonus with eachother) + the Marmoset and Capuchin would have felt unique either way as well, as they would have been the only New World Monkeys in the game (Now Capuchin is the only one).
This pack feels extremely lazy... since all the animals use templates of already existing ones.
Dikdrik actually gets a pass from me, considering it was always meant to be in the game, as it was reported in, in the beta.
I am super excited for the Pallas Cat of course. I'm also excited for the Spectacled Bear and the African Spurred Tortoise. I've had the mods for those two species for FOREVER. While it's always bittersweet watching a mod be replaced by an official creature, it's also amazing at the same time.
Great pack. Just sad it’s probably the last one. Super grateful of all what we’ve received during those years together 🎉
Hello @Leaf! Hope you enjoyed Portugal and the Lisbon Zoo! I think this isn't the last DLC or the end of Planet Zoo. But, for this pack I was expecting something bigger. I'm happy for the cats and the baboon, but a bit disapointed without any bird in the pack. Also, I thing blackbuck instead dik dik would be a better choice. Anyway, still waiting for the birds and the blackbuck.
I think it probably is the "last DLC". It feels like a "send off", in that it's a celebration of the game and community (with nods to both Zoo Tycoon and Zoboomafoo, both things the devs would likely have nostalgia for). It goes against the established naming scheme, making it hard to parse together what it could include. And, considering Planet Coaster's development stopped when Planet Zoo came out, it seems Frontier wants to prioritize one Planet game at a time... and Planet Coaster 2 is coming out in less than a month.
They're hopping back and forth, carrying over improvements made for each, so we'll likely get a Planet Zoo 2 in a few years that utilizes PC2's new pathing system (among others). Kind of sucks a bit in the moment, for players of Planet Zoo, but it's a total boon in the long run for the franchise. The alternative is that they spread themselves thinner and string us along, with PZ playing a constant game of catch-up that inevitably breaks something.
I hope this isn't the last pack! There are way too many animals that haven't been added! Unless they're working on a Planet Zoo 2 they need to keep this game going
My favorite primate is finally here! Praise the sun, lol
They should add features like placing two points, let's say high on two poles that would, when placed, connect by a "ragdoll" rope, so it would be whole lot more realistic
Man so excited for this pack, great choice of animals, par maybe the Markhor I would replace with the secretary bird. So excited for the sifaka, lemurs are my favorite animals and to finally have such a unique species of lemur in game is so awesome. The dik dik as well gonna be so cute to have :)
I’m so excited because I have an African spurred tortoise and I have been wanting them in planet zoo
On one hand, I hope that Planet Zoo continues. There are still so many animals and possibilities for DLCs. On the other hand, I’m also very excited to finally play with mods, which I’ve avoided so far because of the updates.
This fees a lot more like an anniversary pack tbh with the free update, career scenario and scenery pieces. Also feels like it’s missing major inclusions like the secretary bird, walrus, coati etc. Would have preferred they called it the anniversary animal pack then released a zookeepers collection one in a few months time for the final dlc with some of these other animals.
I really wish they just gave us 10 animals instead of the usual 8 and included the secretary bird and tree kangaroo, it just would’ve made this pack so much better. Nonetheless, I actually really like all of the animals in this pack, my least favorite is probably the markhor. But I’m really happy to have spectacle bears, Sifakas are great, hamadryas baboons and palace cats are great, dik dik are cute and I think a small angulate is actually a great addition, and I actually love sulcata tortoise too. My friend took care of one for a bit, he dug a borrow that was no cap 6 ft deep in my friends backyard, it was awesome to see, it would be really sick if the tortoises in game could use the borrow.
7 animals - 7 continents
Should've been a no brainer
But instead we get 4 African animals, 2 Asian animals including another cat, and last+definitely least, yet another bear.
Congrats Frontier you disappoint once again.
I think it would make more sense to end support around the new year time
If the sulcata cant wallow in the mud or use the burrows I'm gonna riot!
Also was hoping for either the batagur or nile crocodile, but I'm more than happy to have another tortoise in the game
This is 99% the last DLC, and while its a cool pack in itself it imo fails pretty hard at being a good final pack. The/a baboon was my most wanted animal for a while but none of the others were in my top 20 or probably even 30 most wanted animals. So pretty disapointing pack to me and im honestly way more excited about modders throwing caution to the wind than the dlc
Hey leaf, do you who are happy? Me, you and zoboomafoo!!
I was so hoping for the Secretary Bird, it’s my favorite animal and I have been crossing my fingers for years
Hey Leaf, I want to ask you, since you visit a lot of zoos, what did you think of the Lisbon Zoo when it comes to animal enrichment and space? The last time I visited, I promised myself I would never give them money again. I saw the saddest orangutan ever and a snow leopard with less space than my house cat...
As an Egyptologist, I know that ancient Egyptians imported many animals from the south, including baboons and monkeys, which they kept as pets. In fact, there was a mummy of a priestess, and for a long time, we thought she was buried with her child, which was amazing because there aren't many examples of child mummies. However, thanks to recent X-ray technology, we discovered it wasn’t a child, but her pet monkey, which she cared for so much that he died she had him mummified and later buried with her.
I’m not sure if baboons lived in Egypt (my area is diplomacy), but there were two instances of climate change that impacted the local fauna. However, Egyptians didn’t hunt baboons, so I don’t think human actions caused their decline.
I hope this isn’t the last pack. I love the Pallas's cat soo much, but I can’t finish my Egyptian area without a jackal, and Nile crocodile, and an Arabian leopard. :(
Did you know that the Wild Kratts Actually had a Tv Show with a Coquerel's Sifaka named Zaboomafoo.
The main thing I'm sad about with this pack is the lack of any exhibit animals, walkthrough or otherwise. That being said, I do like the animal line-up here, I've been hoping for an African spurred tortoise for a while.
i'm so happy to get Zeboomafoo in planet zoo(loved his as a kid)
I'm happy to see the baboon added to the game but I really feel like they missed out if this is our last dlc. Honey badger, secretary bird, howler monkey, any African crocodile, tree/croc monitors? Honestly I'm more excited to get the African leopard added for free
Ngl, I'm most excited about the Palas cat and Zooboomafoo because of the nostalgia of Zoboomafoo and the Kratt brothers 😅
This is 99% the last DLC for Planet Zoo.
It's good, nice selection of animals. This should be way way better pack then the last one.
I didn't expected nothing too demanding from them though, since they will move full focus on future projects. Something like South American monkeys or tree kangaroos or even sea turtles and walruses. They are done with PZ and it wasn't realistic they will invest some extraodinary time into it, but still nice pack.
Considering it hasn’t been confirmed yet like other frontier games, I’m guessing this isn’t the last pack. One more scenery pack with five more animals sounds reasonable, and would get to the 200 animal mark. Secretary bird, tree kangaroo, walrus and others have hope yet!!!
NO WAY WE GOT ZABOOMAFOO
The pangolin statue looks flexicoloured, it seems a bit darker than usual
the party scenario makes me feel like it could be the last pack BUT they do call it an 5 year anniversary party so maybe not. As long as the audience is buying packs and they game remains running smoothly, they should keep making them. most animals feel like reskins anyway 😅
i’m so excited for all these animals but sad we didn’t get a tree kangaroo, coati, or any birds
This can't be the end!
It's kind of sad that it ends like that, I'm also kind of disappointed that we got the Pala's Cat instead of birds, or fish.
Expansion announcement coming. Too many bird names and marine related words in the Planco dictionary to be the end, that thing's a giant spoiler if you're paying attention. 5 year anniversary is no small thing. Would explain the push to consoles and relative silence in the lead up - bigger market and more hype for what's coming. Betting on an exhibit system revamp given they've been missing from a couple DLCs now seemingly at random. It's not a coincidence one of the big themes of this DLC is celebration/event planning.
RIP tree kangaroo 😭😭
2:47 I looked it up, apparently there were never naturally any hamadryas baboons in Egypt, the Egyptians just like them so much that they were often imported from Ethiopia or Somalia. Like sacred crocodiles and many other animals, they were often mummified after one passed away. In mythology, they were heavily associated with the underworld and the god Anubis, and there was a god that was more specifically associated with baboons named Babi, he was basically the god of masculinity and masculine power.
Honestly, I'm not AS disappointed with this one as a lot of people are. Only one I'd really replace is the dik dik, that one feels extremely not requested at all.
But yeah, Pallas cats are iconic, Hamadryas baboons are important cause they're baboons, markhors are Zoo Tycoon staples, spectacled bears are one of the few bears I'll tolerate in this game, another reptile is always gonna be welcome, Zoboomafoo is here... I actually do feel very good about those choices, they feel exciting enough to me. I would've honestly replaced the dik dik with a secretarybird or pelican, and if that were the case, it would've been a perfect pack for me.
Funnily enough, the DikDik has been reported that it was in the game in beta-build, so it would come in eventually anyways. Frontier basically had no choice, but that include it. Maybe it was their own personal choice to put it in the Zookeepers Pack.
You do not literally need put a subtitle althrough out the whole video dude lmao
Not too sure how I feel about the tortoise. I know it is highly requested but I feel like it is just a better reskin?
I'm happy with this pack. If it's the last one, it's a good one...I'm kind of curious though. Last two animal packs didn't have exhibit animals. That probably means nothing. Just something that sticks out to me is all.
if this is the final animal dlc/update, i'm a bit disappointed we didn't get tamanduas, shoebill or tanuki (or much japan endemic species for that matter)
edit: but atleast this pack gives us TWO primates, somthing the game really lacks
sadly not secretariat bird and Tree Kangaroo
I reaally like this animal roster! And i will be so sad if this is the end (which i thinkk it is)
WHERE IS MY SECRETARY BIRD
I love that we getting a sifakas
So I’m very mixed abt this pack. While 4 of the animals are absolute stunners and great additions (Pallas cat, Markhor, Baboon, and Spectacled Bear) the other 3 not so much. Again we have gotten more African animals when we already have more than enough. They choose animals over the top requested ones (being Secretary Bird, Walrus, Echidna, and Tree Kangaroo) for ones that were farther down the list. Now I’d be less upset if it were the same but replace the Dik Dik with some Asian hoofstock (Black Buck, Axis Deer, or Muntjac) and given us a South American primate (Howler or Spider monkey) than just another lemur, Heck I’d have even taken the Indri over Sifika (know I butchered it) cause I don’t see much Indri love. And then the Tortoise…. Like I don’t think I’ve seen many people even ask for the African Spurred. I would’ve taken Nile Crocodile over it. If this is a last pack I think it’s sad that they’re ending on this note. And not giving us more diversity for continents that need it like South America and Australia
Omg we are getting Zaboomafoo!
NO WALRUS HERE DUDE!?
(I LOVE WALRUSES)
We can finally have Zoboomafoo in planet zoo also I'm going to make a giant enclosure with the different kinds of lemurs in the game and name one of the ring-tailed lemurs King Julian
