Hayo Zookeepers!
Kick back and relax as we head towards summer with the newĀ Planet Zoo: Tropical Pack, coming to you onĀ 4 AprilĀ alongside Free Update 1.13!
Venture through the depths of the tropical rainforest and take a look at the new friends heading your way!
Keep a keen eye up in the trees and you'll spot theĀ Lar GibbonĀ leaping between the boughs, or maybe you'll even see aĀ FossaĀ asleep up in the branches of the trees. If you head down to the water there are some new friends to be found too, such as theĀ Asian Water MonitorĀ slinking down the river. And look there, at the edge of the swamp! It's theĀ Red River HogĀ basking in the sun - it looks like it's having a great time. Last but not least, we couldn't forgetĀ our new Walkthrough Exhibit mammalĀ -Ā the Brown-throatedĀ Sloth! They'll be sure to sloooooowly climb their way into your guests' hearts š
Alongside this, you'll get a range of new scenery items including architectural pieces inspired by places across Southeast Asia, and tropical foliage such as theĀ Rafflesia,Ā Pitcher's Plant,Ā andĀ Epiphytes!
