If you are thinking about getting into Planet Zoo, the new game from Frontier Developments, you may be wondering exactly how many animals there are in the game. If you have a dream animal that you really want to build a habit for, just check the list below. It will tell you the animal name, whether it can be interacted with or is just for exhibit, and what version of the game it is available in. The good news there is that only three animals are limited to the Deluxe Edition.

Whether an animal will be fully interactive or strictly for exhibit seems to boil down to how small, or poisonous, it is. Safety concerns are obviously an issue for some of these creatures.
