As you step into Planet Zoo 2's Chapter 4, the challenge shifts from simple caretaking to building and managing an entire zoo. This is where the game really tests your ability to balance animal welfare, guest satisfaction, and efficient infrastructure from the ground up—all crucial for your zoo to thrive and grow.

Maluku Islands – Bronze tasks you with enhancing an existing aquarium by adding six aquatic animals and six shoals. Adding species like Golden Trevally , Bluespine Unicornfish , Threespot Damselfish , and Indian Ocean Oriental Sweetlips will help meet these requirements.
To complement the shoals, introduce a Javanese Cownose Ray and work on raising its welfare level to 100%. Advancing your research on the Hawksbill Turtle to level four also plays a key role. You’ll notice that as you add more species, your profit and guest objectives will be naturally achieved.
Boost social welfare for Cownose Rays by increasing their group size and adding more plants to their habitat. Most fish will need enrichment items or slight terrain adaptations to keep them healthy. If you can’t keep two fish species together peacefully, it’s better to sell one to maintain welfare standards.
When introducing the Ocean Sunfish to your aquarium, removing predatory species like sharks will significantly improve its welfare. This small but important step reduces stress and lets the Sunfish thrive.
Channel Islands – Bronze flips the script as you start with a completely empty zoo. Building everything from scratch means setting up a trade center for animal imports and essential staff structures like a keeper hut. Power up your zoo and don’t forget quarantine, staff rooms, vet surgery, and a research center to keep operations smooth.
All your buildings need to connect to visitor paths, so plan out terrain and pathways carefully for convenience. Staffing your zoo comes next—hire keepers and other necessary staff to run things efficiently.
Your animal setup requires at least one species each for avian, aquatic, and terrestrial habitats. Place an aquarium with a staff gate for your aquatic animals. For barrier construction and other habitat basics, revisiting early walkthrough parts will help. Budget-friendly and high-appeal animals like Binturong and Secretarybird are excellent early picks.
Since funding is tight at the start, focusing on cost-effective animals such as the Ocellated Eagle Ray (aquatic) and Secretarybird (avian) helps grow your zoo's appeal.
Purchasing four terrestrial exhibits also diversifies your zoo's offerings to guests.
Guest happiness is critical—hit at least 75% by installing the basics: food, drinks, restrooms, benches, and educational displays. These facilities encourage visitors to stay longer and engage more deeply with your zoo’s wildlife.
To earn a four-star inspection rating, boost your zoo’s reputation by perfecting animal welfare and enhancing guest experiences. These improvements create an inviting atmosphere that attracts more visitors and revenue.
Singapore – Bronze requires cleaning up the zoo environment first by removing plastic and metal debris. Begin constructing essential buildings and then focus on housing three species together in a single habitat. Herbivores that get along well include the Nyala, Plains Zebra, and Mountain Hare.
Terrain management is vital here. Add short grass for Nyala, reduce waterlogging for the zebra by adjusting terrain height, and plant extra foliage for the hare. Enrichment items and shelters will elevate the welfare of all these species.
Create an aviary for the Great Hornbill with shelter and introduce a second bird to boost social welfare. Use compacted soil to manage water levels and resolve any terrain issues. Placing water and enrichment items will seal the deal on this exhibit's welfare goals.
To draw more guests, add appealing animals and introduce a Komodo Dragon with a habitat featuring a sizable swimming area. Make sure to provide shelter and ramp up its welfare to full health by addressing terrain and enrichment needs.
Once basics are in place, focus on helping the Komodo Dragon thrive. Research its specific needs, use native plants and appropriate soil, increase habitat appeal with windows and marketing, and deepen water areas accordingly.
Improving food quality to grade 2 via the management tab is a simple but effective welfare boost. This small detail can have a big impact on animal health and happiness.
Chapter 4 demands thoughtful zoo building, animal husbandry, and guest care. With patience and attention to detail, you'll unlock rewarding progression as your zoo flourishes.
Get more appealing animals in the zoo for more guests to visit. Next, you need to bring in a Komodo Dragon to your zoo. Use the terrain tools to make a swimming area. Arrange a shelter for it. Get its welfare to 100 percent by resolving other welfare issues.
You need to make it thrive in your zoo. To do that, research the animal to unlock its thriving requirements. Place soil and enough native plants. Increase its appeal by building more windows and running marketing campaigns. Fulfill deep water requirements by deepening the swimming area.
Increase the quality of food to grade 2 by selecting the management tab. Go to food and raise it to two by clicking the stars.
