African-styled Meerkat statues give you an imposing addition to any area while the colourful new frontage for shops and buildings means you can turn any space into a vibrant African-themed spot.
This being the Africa pack there’s a host of new bits of scenery to get your zoo’s vibe just right for its new guests, and they definitely look the part. It still pulls off the signature move of rolling some faeces around with its back legs, and they do look suitably cool if you’re into beetles and insects, but as with this size of exhibit, the other members of the cast will likely capture your attention far more regularly. The final new arrival is the smallest of the bunch, the Sacred Scarab Beetle, though really it’s a Dung Beetle with illusions of grandeur. It’s great to see that coming to fruition in this pack. Games like Planet Zoo do a great job of introducing people to species that might otherwise pass them by, while reinforcing the idea that these animals need, and deserve, our protection. In the real world it’s now at a ‘Near Threatened’ status, with its population increasing once more. Slightly less cute, but no less impressive, is the Southern White Rhino, which is one of the real-world species benefitting from humanity’s slowly improving attempts at preserving endangered species.
