KEY FEATURES
WELCOME 8 NEW ANIMALS
Get ready to adopt seven amazing habitat animals and one exhibit creepy-crawly, all native to Southeast Asia. This pack includes the sun bear, clouded leopard, Malaysian tapir, proboscis monkey, North Sulawesi babirusa, binturong, Ussuri dhole, and giant leaf insect. You’ll build stunning habitats for them, entertain them with enrichment items, and teach your guests all about them.
Get a rare, first-hand glimpse of the usually secretive and solitary clouded leopard, a gorgeous spotted cat seldom seen in the wild. See spirited sun bears frolic and play with each other before climbing high in trees. Give your proboscis monkeys their favourite food to graze on.
Make an ideal exhibit in which the expertly camouflaged giant leaf insect can feel safely concealed. Hear packs of dhole howl their distinctive whistle as they communicate with each other. Care for these animals and more as you nurture them through their entire life cycle, helping them thrive in the park or releasing them into the wild.
YOUR NEW SCENARIO AWAITS
The Haiwan-Hebat Park needs your help! Roughly translating from Malay as Great Animal Park, the enterprise was mid-expansion when funding fell through. Now it’s your chance to finish the job on time and on target. Set in the heart of Perak, Malaysia, and surrounded by a stunning tropical rainforest biome, your job is to complete half-finished habitats, adopt spectacular new animals, hire capable staff, and open up to the world.
Success depends on you building a profitable park in which animal welfare is top priority. Use all scenery pieces already available to you, as well as detailed piece-by-piece construction and landscaping tools, and make a meaningful contribution to wildlife park management. As well as the scenario being a fitting home for the pack’s eight new animals, you can also add any of Planet Zoo’s existing menagerie, such as the Indian Elephant, Salt Water Crocodile, and Western Lowland Gorilla.
