Just look at that beautiful, nappy-wearing bastard. Bauwens says she “really grew a liking” to the tropical snufflers while the game was in development, being especially delighted by their stripy babies, and their tendency to "use their snouts as snorkels while swimming". I do not respect the inferior Brazilian Tapir, which looks like a fool). Only the Malayan version though, as it looks like a nice pig crossed with a battenberg cake. Let’s get this out there first, because it’s important: Bauwens' favourite animal is the tapir, which I respect (I respect the opinion, that is.
To find out how Frontier got from here, to the list of 76 animals in Planet Zoo at launch ( there are 80 now), I had a bit of a duck-billed chatypus with PZ’s senior artist Lisa Bauwens, and game director Piers Jackson. Alas, we still end up with 6,000+, according to the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. So with that in mind, let's slash the total right down to just the number of species currently kept in zoos and aquariums, and only in the US. Species totals between one and two million get chucked around all the time, but these come with a big caveat: however you choose to slice things, a big chunk of these totals will always comprise beetles that only an expert could distinguish from other, very similar beetles. There are, after all, very very many types of animal in the world. By contrast, Frontier Developments’ task, in choosing what animals to include in Planet Zoo, seems daunting - even if it did involve less in the way of physically manoeuvring goats onto a raft.

The situation more likely boiled down to “as many goats as you can force on board, plus a couple of cows and maybe a donkey if it’ll fit.” Easy. When Noah was faced with the task of stocking the ark, it was a fairly simple business: “two of everything, mate, and don’t bother with the unicorns.” In fact, considering Noah was most likely a hapless Bronze Age farmer trying to survive a regional flood, it was probably even simpler.
