This Month in Planet Zoo 2 - September 2026
Let's catch up on everything Planet Zoo 2 from September together!
Hayo Zookeeepers!
So much happened this month including our Zoological Summit at Chester Zoo. We took a deeper look at the brand new Wildlife Reserves, delved into the details of how seasons work and went over managing your staff, their day to day jobs and keeping your finances in the green.
Let's catch up on everything Planet Zoo 2 from September together!
In Case You Missed It!
Creature Feature: Seasons
In this Creature Feature, we took a look at the seasons in your zoos and Wildlife Reserves. Just like in real life, the seasons change throughout the year and each season brings with it new weather and therefore new challenges to face when looking after each animal's needs.
Creature Feature: Wildlife Reserves
In this Creature Feature, we dove into the details of Wildlife Reserves. A brand new feature for Planet Zoo 2, Wildlife Reserves deliver a new way to support your international conservation work. Revitalise the population of an area's species, remove pollutants and rebuild natural environments.
Animal Spotlight: Sumatran Orangutan
In this Animal Spotlight, we meet the Sumatran Orangutan! These expressive primates love to climb and explore. Help them thrive with climbing platforms and enrichment items in your zoos or rebuild their natural habitats in Wildlife Reserves.
Planet Zoo 2's Zoological Summit
We had the pleasure of hosting Planet Zoo 2's Zoological Summit at Chester Zoo on 12 September! We gave a lucky few the chance to play Planet Zoo 2 a little bit early and hosted a range of talks with experts from Chester Zoo and our Development team about Aviaries, Aquariums, Exhibits and much more!
Don't worry, if you missed out the event, we livestreamed the whole thing! Catch up on everything and see some exclusive gameplay with the team.
More Zoopedia Drops!
This month we've welcomed quite a few animals to our Zoopedia, ready for the launch of Planet Zoo 2 on 13 October. Browse the Zoopedia and learn all about animals like the African Wild Dog, the Giant Panda, the Snow Leopard and White-Backed Vulture.

Creature Feature: Managing a Zoo
Managing a global network of zoos and Wildlife Reserves is no small task! Learn about the staff you'll be working alongside, providing a great day out for your guests and how to keep the lights on at all your facilities.
Animal Spotlight: West Indian Manatee
In this Animal Spotlight, we meet the West Indian Manatee, also affectionately known as Sea Cows.
Manatees are curious but peaceful animals! They spend most of their day grazing so you'll need to give them plenty of food to choose from in the Aquarium habitats.

We've been horsing around this month
