Last verified 2026-10-14

The official Zoopedia contains 136 animal entries: 130 Base Game and 6 Deluxe. The table lists every entry, not just species with a guide on this site.

Verified against Frontier's rendered index and its structured animal fields on 14 October 2026. A count of 130 can correctly describe the base game; it is not automatically outdated.

136 entries, with overlapping housing categories

The official housing fields give 57 terrestrial-habitat, 12 flying-habitat, 37 aquarium and 46 exhibit entries. Sixteen fish entries support both Aquarium and Exhibit, so category counts do not add up to 136.

130 Base Game + 6 Deluxe = 136 unique entries
Deluxe is an edition label, not a housing category
Capybara, Koala, Giant Anteater and Jaguar are not in this dated roster
