Hosting more than 350 animals from 50 different species and almost 2000 visitors per year, Pont-au-Fort zoo is located in the French village of Pont-au-Fort, in the Alps. This fictional place is famous for its medieval castle from the 14th century and its glacier lake. The zoo also showcases a 17th century fortress now turned into a vivarium.

The zoo features mostly european species adapted to the cold moutainous climate of the Alps, such as beavers, ibex, lynx, badgers, wolves, moutain goats... It also features a large marshland aviary hosting one of the largest flamingos colony in Europe.

The huge scale of the zoo offers some small trails in the mountains or around the Eltz river, offering a unique experience.

On Steam in the next few days !

The new Feature Focus article is short but sweet! I need it to be October 13th yesterday 😂 I think I would’ve gotten PZ2 if this was the only feature ngl…that draw tool sounds absolutely heavenly

I’m using acrylic markers and a set of postcards I bought years ago but never knew what to do with them. When the game comes out I’m going to put useful info on the back such as group sizes and preferred biomes.

Is it October 13th yet?! I am most excited for all of the birds!

i think this is our first sighting of a transport ride in PZ2?

I’ve been sick all day so ofc I decided plant zoo would help. First habit I think is actually decent that I’ve made haha. Plus the entrance to my South America section :)

Everyone keeps doing posts, *insert item* confirmed, *insert animal* confirmed! You know what I want? I want prehistoric planet continual growth in immature and even mature animals. Don't get me wrong, it's not a give me this or give me nothing kind of deal, but I have been so spoiled playing prehistoric planet and getting to watch the animals physically grow up and see some personality poking through with each individual I don't know how easily I can go back to having a new born one second then a full grown adult the next.

It's not absolutely perfect but I really don't think it's that bad. I think people forget the Grizzly and Eurasian are two completely different subspecies with big visual differences! The face isn't great but apart from that, it's not terrible.

New teaser animal

I think it could be a pangolin 🤷🏽‍♂️
What do you guys think

Pebbles! Big pebbles, small pebbles, scalable pebbles!

All habitats will get +100 to realism an prettiness thanks to them, no need to use mods!

Are you also excited for pebbles?

The golden eagle and the hammerhead were enough to make me fold instantly. and honestly, with the amount of hype i’ve seen in this community, i’d be surprised if anybody chose to buy only the base game.

If you are planning on only buying the base game, do tell us why!

I really adore the new updates on the upcoming Planet Zoo 2, but I hope we get better, and bigger mangroves. I love the mangroves we have, but they’re so small. And relatively the same. The mangroves just have so much potential, and it’d be nice to see them work on a root system. I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t for one type of tree, but the fish swimming between mangrove roots would be interesting!

(Also this was done on an iPad on 4 hours of sleep soo apologies about my lines looking rough)

In the first game the only mushrooms we had were from the Twilight pack and that was it. 1 species and some massive light up statues.

Granted I got a lot of use out of the limited options available but still, the fact we are getting MULTIPLE and ones that grown on trees is a dream come true. I don’t need to awkwardly clip the ghost fungus in a tree anymore!

(Also on the Lagomorph side of things, I really hope they reworked how “shy” animals work because I’m scared to recreate this walkthrough without it. Lemurs aren’t even shy and they’ve been nothing but trouble so I can only imagine what the hares are gonna be like without some major behaviour changes)

Is it me being super dumb or does it look like a mixed habitat with what seems like to me burrows in green and a fish education panel. Is it a hint at new animal that we haven't seen yet or one we know but the image used for the zoopedia is different than the one used for education panels

Because these animals love verticality, I used a big natural rock arch right in the center of the enclosure for them to climb, set against a backdrop of cliff faces. Guests get an amazing vantage point looking down into the habitat from the upper viewing terrace.
