▶ Planet Zoo: Tropical Pack | Announcement Trailer Breakdown

[@AfifZakariyaFADUPNVJT]

Hi, greetings from indonesia and this pack has huge influence from my country. 3:30 the red big flower is rafflesia arnoldi, we call it "bunga bangkai" or corpse lily. 6:03 building with palm fiber roof and multiple roof is traditional architecture from Bali, you can search "Pura Besakih" or Besakih temple. the pointy roof is "rumah Gadang" or Gadang house from Sumatera snake shape like statue is "naga Jawa" or Javanese dragon from Yogyakarta 10:05 we call it "nyambik" it's pretty normal in here, actually they live in our sewer, helping us hunting rats and egg snakes ^^ and yeah agree, Indonesia has more than 50000 species, so they can add more animals. I want they add actual Cendrawasih or you can call it bird of paradise. 11:40 red brick fence with stones on it is inspired by ancient "Majapahit architecture" 13:21 U shape roof building is "Tongkon" traditional settlement from Toraja

[@iqbaalannaafi4944]

Bali, Toraja, and Minangkabau in one DLC?

[@zachjohnson9391]

Realistically speaking, walkthrough exhibits for Sloths is the only thing that makes sense. I've worked with a Two-Toed Sloth before (who sadly died last week) so believe me...they don't do squat compared to most animals. Even if they were habitat animals you really shouldn't expect them to do much. I mean, they can crawl and swim, but generally only do that when they need to, not want to. Anyways exciting news. They're finally adding some animals I've actually worked with irl for the first time since the Europe Pack. The Fossa and Gibbon... although we referred to the as White-Handed Gibbons

[@Charley_Goji]

Sloths are what would happen if a rat decided it wanted to become a rock.

[@Bitternbirdwatching]

I’m sorry for your loss

[@Micheldied]

Agreed. I have no issue with them being walk-through exhibit animals. Aside from the sloth and the fossa, it's the rest of the pack that is disappointing.

[@Charley_Goji]

@@Micheldied nobody here was saying the pack was dissapointing, infact every animal in this pack is an animal I wanted in the game. Quit being such a negative nancy..

[@zachjohnson9391]

@@Micheldied Charley has a point. No one asked

[@Cycodude]

At my local zoo, they have a building with a bunch of small animals (like a reptile house but mammals and birds too), and they have a sloth that just climbs around the ceiling and walls of the building as he pleases

[@jenniferreick6474]

In The Netherlands they actually have a sloth walkthrough exhibit. It is in Zoo Parc Overloon in the madidi area. If you like to see animals up close it is definitely worth a visit!

[@schneiderphotoMD]

The National Aquarium in Baltimore, MD, US also has a sloth or two in their open walk through rainforest area. However, it is usually very high up and hard to see. 😂

[@Lynnisgek]

I literally went there so recently, it's indeed definitely worth a visit

[@GibbonLord]

I visited all zoos in the Netherlands and with an exception of 2 zoos all zoos here have a sloth walk through area if they have a sloth.

[@annak2764]

I'm so in love with the red river hog! It just looks beautiful!😍

[@rodanthefiredemon3016]

as an indonesian. im really proud that my country is getting some recognition as a scenery in the dlc!

[@beardedlonewolf7695]

The scenery pieces are worth the pack, finally jungle/tropical pieces other than Aztec and temple lol The animals are more rinse and repeat though except for the Gibbons which I'm glad they're adding.

[@RudiRennkamel]

It wouldnt be Frontier if the Siamang would be able to do it right away :P

[@DeLadysigner]

Lol 🙈

[@maep6422]

I was wondering how pz would ever do a sloth, since they tend to hang out on one tree all day. The walk through exhibit seems like a really good solution.

[@DeLadysigner]

I guess you are right! Curious to see how it will work out in the game ❤️ Maybe they should have done the same for Koalas in the game.. lol.. they never climb trees and it frustrates me so much, lol!

[@rollmeinrice]

@@DeLadysigner I was thinking as I was watching the video, "They should have done that for the Koalas!"

[@DRskeleton654]

the first time i saw the trailer, i immediately knew it was Balinese architecture and there are some architecture from the sulawesi province. this is the first time im more interested in the building pieces rather than the actual animal because i can finally make a zoo that is similar in style to my hometown zoo's in design, im from bali and that makes it very much exciting for me

[@rodanthefiredemon3016]

Same right here!

[@mechanicobra]

I'm kinda torn on this pack. We've already had a largely Jungle themed pack before though I do think the new architecture does look different enough. I'm excited for the fossa and red river hog. Curious about the sloth. Could take or leave the gibbon since we already have one, but more variety is always welcome. The water monitor i do feel is kind of a waste of a slot though. I feel like most people who want a massive lizard will just gravitate to the Komodo dragon. Especially since they're both Asian monitor lizards. I feel like a better large tropical lizard would have been something like the Grand Cayman Blue Iguana.

[@jessesarrazin8713]

Excited but - quite sad no tree kangaroos as they are my favorites :) The sloth makes sense as a walkthrough as they don't do much - you can make it work if you decorate like the bats and can make the area lush. I'm actually more pumped for the scenery pieces.

[@silashurd3597]

I’ve been waiting a long time for this. We’re getting exactly what most of us have wanted for a long time in this DLC: Red river hogs, sloths, gibbons, and the FOSSA! And another campaign mission😁 THE HYPE IS REAL!

[@lillylove9442]

I literally started a new tropical rainforest treck style franchise last week this could not come at a better time for me. SO EXCITED

[@indijones8371]

I wonder since the guests can interact with the butterflies in the walk through habitats if they're will be some sort of guest interaction for the sloth

[@DeLadysigner]

Good question!

[@jamesclare6546]

That big red flower is a Raffleasia, the largest flower in the world know for its rotten meat smell. I am personally excited for the Asian Water Monitor; my wife grew up on a fruit farm in the Philippines and wild water monitors sometimes lived in the sugar cane fields.

[@kiana303love]

I grew up visiting a sloth walk through exhibit so I’m very excited. At the Vancouver Aquarium in Canada, there is a few sloths living in the tropical dome with fish, turtles and parrots, etc. it was my favourite game to play as a kid to find the sloth!!

[@mongooseodon7608]

So excited to see the water monitor, they had one at the aquarium I used to volunteer at and he was so sweet ❤

[@coasterzigner]

STOKED for the Sloth, and i'm totally fine with it being a walkthrough exhibit. That actually makes sense since it would take them about 30 in game years to get anywhere in a built habitat. The Gibbon is great as I know it was highly wanted, plus it's brachial! Fossa and Red River hog are cool and wanted, so I'm okay with them taking those slots. The monitor is... predictable: Frontier wanted to round out the pack with another "cheap" reskin, but it does at least provide a couple semi "box checks" with the aquatic and the reptile, although I think I would have preferred a Marine Iguana since they are differently colored (blue), but also active swimmers. I thought this would have been a great pack to add (as much as I hate nope ropes) something like an emerald tree boa or some other vivid colored snake as there are quite a plenty of them irl in the tropics. At this point in development, though, I don't think we're going to be getting anymore aquatic species... at least not in the sense that the community would want. They'll likely be reskins for crocodilians and stuff. And that saddens me as there are still plenty of cool species that need to be represented, even exhibit wise. The only way I could see those coming to the game is if they did a MEGA "Exhibit" pack with aquatic, aviary, and land based exhibit animals being added (and an aquatic walkthrough habitat tunnel). This could be possible, especially because we have 52 open spots and likely only 3 more packs, so like a sendoff exhibit pack could be like 40 exhibit species and that's it for the pack. If they do not provide more bird species (land based OR walkthrough flutter birds), though, I'm going to want to know WHY THE F*** is Frontier so anti-bird, they are dinosaur ancestors: respect your elders, Frontier! LMAO

[@megakaren2160]

That pretty big flower is a rafflesia. It's also known as the corpse flower because of the way it smells when it blooms.

[@sarahtiller131]

YES!! 🎉 I am so excited for this pack!! I am completing a tropical franchise series and these animals will be perfect 🤩 including all the new pieces! Yay thank you frontier

[@CricatshortsOfficial]

*Am EXCITEDDDD!!!😻🙀*

[@nereol9165]

In Vogelpark Walsrode the Sloth habitat is "walktrough" or more like you can walk around it and look at them from up close - never saw a Sloth from so close, it's amazing. And it is right next to (same building as) the butterfly house. I'd love to build actual habitats for Sloths but they just don't do much anyway. At least not during daytime when guests are there. So getting them as a walkthrough exhibit aninmal is better that not getting them at all. Still I was hoping for our first type of small birds in a walkthrough exhibit, lorikeets or parakeets or something like that.

[@BobFrichtel]

A sloth and the nepenthes pitcher plants alone? I'm in. I hope we see our siamangs and ornags brachiating on these vines. I feel like some aviary species will be walk through, and the new meta will be how to puzzle your walkthroughs into one large house.

[@MunkkyNotTrukk]

I can see people being mad about the lack of birds, this would've been the perfect opportunity for parrots or lorikeets. I may still buy this pack for the sloths, hogs, gibbons and fossa.

[@rollmeinrice]

I was definitely expecting some kind of tropical exhibit birds! I'll take a sloth though.

[@iqbaalannaafi4944]

Ah, if only Frontier added a Bird of Paradise (Cendrawasih) or something similar for the walkthrough exhibit.

[@lillylove9442]

There's a Sloth walkthrough in the Jaguar house in Chester Zoo with a gorgeous outdoor area - really excited to see if I can replicate something like this when the pack releases. For anyone who hasn't seen Chester Zoo I highly recommend - I believe Frontier are doing a partnership with them due to their amazing conservation work

[@maxk7676]

I'm definetly hyped about the tropical topic itself. I think there will be plenty of new plants and building options! Speaking about the animals: The Lar Gibbon and the Fossa are perfect aditions to the game. And the Red River Hog for me as well... The Asian Monitor, well, they could have become a bit more creative, to do some criticism. And i'm not completely sure about the sloth as a walkthrough. Nevertheless its a nice species! But all in all i am of course hyped for the pack!

[@rebeccan7276]

I'm very excited to see unique botanical specimens like the Attenborough's pitcher and Rafflesia! Yay weird tropical parasitic and epiphytic plants! The red river hog also honestly looks so cool and I wasn't even looking forward to that one before this was announced.

[@50calM82A1]

Looks like some traditional Indonesian architecture made it into the game. Great!

[@WhiteWolf-92]

OMG YES. THE GIBONS!!!!!! I would love to see more animals for the walkthrough exhibits so to me the sloth is a nice addition. The fossa is a cat like creature from I believe Madagascar they hunt lemurs and can climb trees. Im so excided for this pack. My inner zoo keeper is all bubbly.

[@UKFishCam]

The red river hog is personally my favourite animal from this pack

[@alyssawilliams3797]

super excited for this dlc. I was hoping for more birds or something more rainforesty. But this pack looks amazing and i cant wait for this, aswell as future packs. Future looks bright for this amazing game

[@AnimatoJoe]

I remember the roof style from Koali zoo and was just completely amazed that y'all we're able to create that shape by hand. So for the not so ambitious player like myself, I'm excited to see what these new roof pieces look like. 😂

[@andresparra114]

Honestly, I know the hype is strong but, I'm not sure, I don't think it'd be remembered so well considering it reallu has no reason to be a scenery pack, Im a builder and the value of animals is much greater in my eyes, When I saw the sloth I was super hyped this might be an animal pack, A tropical pack just doesn't scream scenery, I don't know, It might change in a few months, The theme doesn't fit most of the animals it is south east asian themed but has only 2 asian animals, Again I don't buy the arguement of "Buildera need new pieces" after 9 scenery packs but IDK, Am I excited? YESSSS!

[@camille71999]

SLOTHS?! My loves, I absolutely adore them 😭😭😭

[@gijsvanbeek6105]

[@beaverhart2566]

the temple building definitely has Koali vibes... has Rudi joined the Frontier team :P

[@ninjifansmpj420]

Lar Gibbon - Hey, that's pretty good! Fossa - There were fossas in Zoo Tycoon for XBox and I'm pretty excited for it. Asian Water Monitor - Never thought of an animal like that. Red River Hog - *YES! THEY'RE ADDING IT!* Brown-Throated Sloth - FINALLY! SLOTHS IN PLANET ZOO! Sad they didn't add any macaws, but I'm sure it'll be the best update yet.

[@FerociousTiger5000]

@Deladysigner I think this pack is gonna be awesome ^^. And frontier did it again , they totally took me off guard with doin a tropical pack instead of an island one XD, that sure know how to keeping us on our toes too ^^ I didn’t think we’d get another monitor lizard species again , but I’m really happy about that. And same with the sloth 🦥 too ^^ Plus the gibbon is cool still, even though I hoped for spider monkeys or howler monkeys or something like that I really hope we get an island pack soon too ^^ , Tasmanian devils would be awesome ^^

[@valerie5705]

IM SO HAPPY

[@myrthebuhrs7592]

I don’t recall which zoo it was specifically but in the Netherlands there is a zoo that’s in a walkthrough exhibit.

[@nojorooney]

Sloths in walkthrough exhibits makes sense, they are very slow and probably aren’t well suited for big enclosures, they have strong claws but they usually do not attack people, unlike the giant anteater which shouldn’t be a walkthrough exhibit animal

[@burningcaiman]

I am a man of reptiles, I’m sure you can figure out which one im excited about

[@wareagle7515]

I hate to be the guy to correct you. So for the Gibbon, Gibbons are actually apes and not monkeys "no tails". As you can tell, I'm really looking forward to the Lar Gibbon in this pack. They are my favorite animal. Plus, we needed more brachiating animals and more variation as well. 😅

[@Thunderyena]

'monkey' actually isn't a specific scientific term, it's not technically incorrect to refer to apes as monkeys. 'monkey' can refer to any simian. though there's no reason not to just call them 'apes' since ape is more specific.

[@DeLadysigner]

Well then.. let me give you some dutch insights.. lol Gorillas: we call apen which means monkeys Orangutans: we call apan which means monkeys Lemurs: we call apen which means monkeys Siamangs: we call apen which means monkeys Simply said, in the netherlands we call all these type of animals apen :) so yeah, that its not the same in other countries is pretty confusing for us.. altho I do think that in germany for example they also say the same but then they say Affen instead of Apen :)

[@themeekwarrior]

This pack doesn't excite me as much, though sloths will be a fun addition. I'm still holding out for birds!! I think it's something they're working on for sure, and they're giving us this to keep us interested. The decor and new plant life will be nice to work with.

[@missslushy]

There’s a walkthrough sloth exhibit in Manchester Zoo UK. It’s amazing you spend so long trying to find him and work out whether it’s real or not 😂 they look so fake up close

[@PimsAdventures]

Excited for this dlc also it will be arrived the day before i go on holiday Maybe frontier planned this special for me 🤔

[@TTh42bYA]

I would love to see more birds too the bird of paradise and toucan and spoonbill are the first that come to mind that could go with a tropical pack though I cant remember off the top of my head if those are in the game yet or not. I also wish they were adding more animals to this pack we have a few packs that add 8 or so animals so for this pack to only have 5 is a bit disappointing especially since theres so many options for aquatic and flying and even land animals they havent done yet

[@cixelsyd40]

Looks like we are getting some carnivorous and parasitic plants with pitcher plants and a Rafflesia in the opening.

[@andresparra114]

Here is my animal review: Fossa 10/10 - Very needed and it should have completely new animations, It looks like a cat but is completely different behaviorly, Also it the madagascaran apex predator so that's cool! Red River Hog 9/10 - This is a highly requested animal and im happy it makes an apearence! Also it can co live with Gorillas Lar Gibbon 6.5/10 - Really not needed since we have the Siamang which is another type of gibbon that is much more vocal, Interesting thing though lar gibbons can have 9 different colors from pink, brown, cream, blonde to black, It's just a species that would have been better replaced with a more deserving one Asian Water Monitor 2/10 - It will be beautiful like frontier does their reptiles but it is really unnecesery, And is kind of a clone animal Brown Throated Sloth ? - Idk a Sloth is easily the most requested animal for this game since forever really, But it being a walkthrough exhibit is weird... Butterflies and Bats are classic walkthrough exhibit animals, Never have I beed to a zoo that allows walking through it's sloth habitat, Also now it won't be able to be mixed with other species in habitat, And it's really weird since the Koala fills such a simillar role as it

[@DRskeleton654]

from a gameplay prespective i do agree that asian water monitor is essentially a clone animal. but i have a bias towards monitor lizards so more of them is nice also. though a crocodile monitor would probably be a better pick and it would essentially create an arboreal habitat lizard, which we currently do not have.

[@LordBartholomeus]

[@Okk681]

[@BrianStorm742]

I actually suspected sloths might become a walkthrough exhibit animal. Unlike any other animal in the game, sloths are practically EXCLUSIVELY arboreal; they spend their whole lives in trees and if they're on the ground, something is wrong. This kinda messes with the mechanics of habitat animals in the game, because even species who barely ever touch the ground, like orangutans, koalas and siamangs (or indeed lar gibbons) still do sometimes go for a terrestrial walk. Sloths do not. I think it's a creative solution and also, most zoos I've been to that have sloths, if not all of them, kept them in a walkthrough-type habitat, so it's pretty realistic in that regard. I do hope they add cute interactive animations with guests though.

[@Mumbai_Mahout]

Also, this pack is DEFINITELY Koali inspired!

[@Lis283]

Well what can I say. I guessed that it would be a tropical pack. Although I thought it would be an animal pack, since we already have several sets of decorations related to the jungle: South America, Asia, India. In general, the architecture shown in the trailer, I associate with Thailand. I am very glad that a new gibbon has appeared, there are still few monkeys in the game, I really hope for a couple more species. Maybe even another gorilla, mountain or river. As for the exposition animal, I was mistaken, to be honest, I thought there would be hummingbirds or some small parrots. But if you think about it - the decision with the sloth is not devoid of logic, in real life they are very inactive guys.

[@Psychedelic-giraffe]

Am I the only one slightly disappointed that two of the animals in the pack (gibbon and water monitor) are ones we kind of already have? They could have very easily been tasmanian devil and spectacled/Andean bear, two animals players are crying out for. The other three animals and set pieces are cool though

I hope the monitor is just not a reskin of the nile one.

I like the new animals, but I'm not very excited about this DLC. I hope the sloth is not the usual "place and forget about it" exhibit animal.
