Animals

The youngest and most northerly species of Pachyrhinosaurus is now available for adoption - and for excavation, assembly and de-extinction - in your zoo.

The once-forsaken Nanotyrannus is here, and ready to rock your zoo after years of being put down as a junior version of its habitat's biggest bully!

...the still-forgotten Stygivenator is also here, ready to grace your zoo with... uh... its existence, which has been vindicated by the fact that these live specimens are a part of this world now. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.

This was originally hosted on the Miscellany page as the "untitled mini-pack containing two Lancian tyrannosaurids of dubious-at-best validity". In light of Nanotyrannus's reappraisal, I think it's only fitting that the pack itself is given a more formal home (its contents aren't any different though).

This is an upgrade for Blue Fang's black leopard, giving it a new default skin, a broader geographic range and full tolerance of the Savannah biome.

Though this download only requires a patched base game and the Black Leopard & Stuffed Prey Dummy pack to function, the Endangered Species expansion pack must be installed for the leopard's original black skin to appear in-game.

Did you know that, for a long time (until 2002!), greater flamingos and American/Caribbean flamingos were regarded as the same species? Vanilla Zoo Tycoon 2, which follows this outdated taxonomy, sends conflicting messages on which of these former subspecies its own flamingo is meant to be.

This download makes it so it confidently represents both: its geographic range is much wider, it boasts full compatability with the Coastal biome, and it has two new variants that more starkly resemble the two species than its base skin.

Please keep in mind that this download is not compatible with Zoo Tycoon 2: Folksy Facelift, which has its own methods of rejigging the flamingo that override what this provides. The Endangered Species expansion pack must be installed for the new variants to appear in-game.

This downloaded spices up a few of the base Zoo Tycoon 2 animals; namely the American beaver, ibex, male red kangaroo, okapi, red panda and Bengal tiger; by making them a whole lot less yellow. On top of adding a sprinkling of realism seasoning, it also improves visual variety a little bit.

If you're in the unlikely position where you don't have any expansion packs or patches installed, you're in luck: you only need the base Zoo Tycoon 2 game to enjoy these reskins!

Talk about an extra jolt of flavor! This download gives your aardvarks, giant sable antelopes, grizzly and spectacled bears, American beavers, chimpanzees, Nile crocodiles, crested gibbons, hippopotamuses, jaguars, Komodo dragons, ring-tailed lemurs, lions, moose, giant and red pandas, common peafowl and *huff! huff!* Galapagos giant tortoises some new variant skins, ported down from Folksy Facelift. At bare minimum, the Endangered Species expansion pack must be installed for any of these variants to appear ingame.

This package only includes variants and some .xml files controlling skin rarity. None of FF's resizes, dedicated reskins, remodels or rebiomes are included here. If you would like to have (the initial release versions of) Folksy Facelift's tiger variants, they are available in the Miscellany section.

Are non-extant animals more your fancy? If so, here's a prehistoric treat: this big bundle includes touch-ups for 31 different animals, some small and others pretty darn dramatic.  There are way too many to list off here; the image carousel on the left includes some particular highlights.

This package only affects models and textures (besides the male Carnotaurus, which has seen code edits to make it use its separate model. Though it is sized in the vein of Vanilla-Friendly Fixes, there are no prerequisites for this download besides the Extinct Animals expansion pack). Please don't go into this expecting FF's resizes or rebiomes to carry over.
