Housing and environment requirements
The displayed space values are not a fixed allowance for every group size. Frontier's Animals guide says each additional adult increases space requirements; use the Zoopedia population planner and traversable-area checks.
Plan deep-water and aquatic space, not a land paddock. Match salinity and temperature, and supply filtration and maintenance.
