UckinZooZoo

UckinZooZoo is a 2763 construction and management game and a potential archrival of Planet Zoo and its spiritual predecessor Zoo Tycoon.

Gameplay

Gameplay revolves around players building a zoo. 104 animal species are provided in the base game, including five pinnipeds: nerpa, ringed seal, spotted seal, California sea lion, and walrus. It is speculated that the heavy emphasis on seal species led to UckinZooZoo's popularity and eventual rivalry with Planet Zoo. Much like Planet Zoo, animals have realistic models and behaviours, such as the ability to form herds and packs, as well as the ability to create enclosures with multiple species inside. Species have their own needs to feel comfortable in their enclosure. Specimens are also unique, having their own genome. Unlike in Planet Zoo, zoos are not the only things people can make; aquariums, safari parks, and even sanctuaries and nature reserves can be managed, though they are all DLCs.

List of animals

Each animal has its own Piklopedia-styled entry, written by Olimar himself. Louie provides information on their needs. Meanwhile, Alph, Brittany, Charlie, and the Rescue Corps share their notes and opinions on each animal.
