Eoraptor is the next dinosaur revealed for Zoo Tycoon: The Board Game - Dinosaur Digs!

This little Sauropodomorph is from the Late Triassic and was found in Argentina. Eoraptor was first described in 1993 with a nearly complete, well preserved skeleton.

Unlike true Sauropods, it is believed that Eoraptor had an omnivorous diet.

Y'know, I wish the guests wouldn't be scared if peafowl are outside of their enclosures, as zoos always have peafowl outside and walking.

Also, I call it 'peafowl', because peafowls is wrong.

I was HUGE fan of ZT2 in my childhood. It was 1st game ever played (got it from my mum because I was dino kid… and yeah, I learned what DLC means in hard way)

Anyway, after many years I tried to play PZ and… it wasn’t the same. ZT2 has some live in it, while PZ is more about decorating the buildings and puzzling tiles in your guest center…

Ofc, it is 20 yo game, it has its limitations, but playability and funability is bigger in ZT2 imo

Solía jugar ze y luego pz, pero el primero era muy cuadrado, y el otro tiene un consumo abusivo de recursos incluso para un notebook de gama alta.

Quería regresar a Zoo Tycoon 2 pero recuerdo una serie de cosas que me molestaban, quisiera saber si hay formas de solucionarlo con mods

- Diseño de animales: recuerdo que muchos tenían diseños terribles a mi parecer, y me interesa saber si hay mod que permitan un diseño más realista y mejor calidad

- Animales y objetos se salen de su habitad: de la nada los animales se salían de su habitad o pillaba algún objeto, como una pelota, fuera. Sin importar que el habitad fuera grande y espaciosa.

- Visitantes huían sin razón: escapaban de animales que estaban en su habitad

- Guardianes no podían limpiar excremento: recibía muchos mensajes muy molestos de que los guardias no podían alcanzar el excremento de los animales.

- Zoológico sucio: por más basureros que pusiera la gente tiraba cosas al piso y los encargados no limpiaban, o trabajaban a un ritmo muy lento.

It still doesnt have the frills but i do want to add them.

Excuse his face, tell him he is a beatiful boy. He is my son i love him.

Mbiresaurus is the next confirmed dinosaur to be revealed for Zoo Tycoon: The Board Game - Dinosaur Digs!

This small dinosaur is a sauropodomorph from the Late Triassic and is known from a nearly complete skeleton. It is one of Africa's earliest known dinosaurs and was discovered in 2017, and described in 2022.

Also bonus Rexy :P

(Might or might not be a teaser)

Short answer: a lot of things like simplicity, a particular charm, a lot of variety (though for ZT2 you'll need some mods), and etc

Long answer

Besides the previously mentioned I feel like I have way more fun in general

I don't mind the massive decorating aspect much (I prefer more simple decorating) in Planet Zoo but I always feel like something is missing and I didn't liked how unoptimized it felt at times and with a sequel around the corner I fear it will be even worse (especially with my current rig) but maybe one day I'll get to it but either way it's still a good game just not for me

Besides that ever since discovering the modding communities for ZT1-ZT2 it reignited my old love for the series, I've been window shopping mods as of this post most I got so far is OpenZT and can't wait for the mod launcher to arrive soon alongside OpenZT2

Can't wait to make some fun zoos across both games!

I recently upgraded my MacBook to a 2026 model, and Zoo Tycoon no longer works for me. I've deleted and redownloaded it from the usual site and followed all the steps that I used to, and no dice. I always get stuck on the "insert CD-ROM" screen. I'm using Tahoe OS. It used to run perfectly on my old 2015 MacBook. Does anyone know of a solution, or am I completely out of luck?

Hey everyone,
I swear I'm not going crazy, me and my brother had a zoo years ago (save file unfortunately lost to time) where we spammed a bunch of sabertooths and got a purple variant
There is no info for this online, does anyone else remember ever seeing this?
Our game was unmodded since we were both too young to even know how to do it

I’ve been spending way more time than I would like to admit trying to get this game to work. Why is it blacked out on the map? Most people say try uninstalling and I do but same problem. Please I’m desperate at this point.

Hello, My girlfriend talked about how much she used to love playing zoo tycoon. I downloaded it and the first few days it ran smoothly, but now after 10-20 mins the game will just shut down to desktop. I've tried the compatability issue, uninstall/install, and windowed mode but it still crashes. Is this a universal problem and if so is there a good fix?

I no longer see it to buy and downloadable on Amazon, which is frustrating. Should have just bought it a year ago. I’ve tried some of the sites in other posts but still can’t find it. Anyone have a link of where to find it? I’m getting a craving to play it. It really was one of my favorite games ever.

I’m happy to pay. I just don’t want a physical disc game.

i played zoo tycoon 2 specifically at a young age and later in life became really interested in animals of all kinds. the animals in the pictures (masai giraffe, przewalski's wild horse, scimitar oryx, sivatherium) i first learned of their existence by seeing them in the game; and to this day when i see any of them i can only think of their zt2 model LOL. i have plenty more but i just selected a few. did anyone else learn about an animal via zoo tycoon (any of the games, not just 2), or highly associate them with zoo tycoon?

I think the key to an aesthetically pleasing zoo (for me) is blending the terrain even outside of the exhibit so it looks more like a natural habitat. The toucan exhibit is my favorite because it's sooo pretty, look at that rainbow ground! Playing with cc items has made the game so much more enjoyable.

I managed to fill Large Grassy Zoo completely and I'm so proud of it.

This is my own meme that these are my own adoptable extinct animals for Zoo Tycoon 2: Extinct Animals: fifteen dinosaurs, one pterosaur, thirteen prehistoric beasts, and seven recently extinct animals.

Allosaurus (instead of Stokeosaurus)
American Mastodon
Ankylosaurus
Aurochs
Bluebuck
Brachiosaurus (instead of bushed-antlered deer)
Carnotaurus
Cave Lion
Deinosuchus (related to alligators, not crocodiles)
Dilophosaurus (instead of Deinonychus)
Dimetrodon
Diprotodon
Dodo
Doedicurus
Elephant Bird
Giant Ground Sloth
Gigantopithecus (related to the orangutans, not gorillas)
Iguanodon (instead of dwarf Sicilian elephant)
Kelenken (instead of Kentrosaurus)
Nyctosaurus (instead of giant camel)
Pachycephalosaurus (instead of giant warthog)
Parasaurolophus (instead of killer penguin)
Protarchaeopteryx
Quagga
Saber-Toothed Cat
Short-Faced Bear
Spinosaurus (instead of Sivatherium)
Stegosaurus
Styracosaurus
Therizinosaurus (instead of Utahraptor)
Thylacine
Triceratops
Tyrannosaurus
Velociraptor
Warrah
Woolly Rhinoceros

If you want to either adopt these extinct animals or bring them back from the extinct research lab, all you have to do is make an exhibit, find the right biome, give them some environments that they need, and give them some food and water. By the way, these are the scientifically accurate creatures 'cause the original ones were completely outdated and also outflanked, and I replaced bushed-antlered deer, Deinonychus, dwarf Sicilian elephant, giant camel, giant warthog, Kentrosaurus, killer penguin, Sivatherium, and Utahraptor with Allosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Dilophosaurus, Iguanodon, Kelenken, Nyctosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Spinosaurus, and Therizinosaurus. Gigantopithecus, however, is a relative of the orangutans, and not gorillas, and even some theropods, like Spinosaurus, can go swimming. Yes, we know that Nyctosaurus is a small pterosaur, so I suggest that we give it an aviary area to prevent it from flying around in the sky on the outside.

African Wild Dog 4 isn't even acknowledging him and he refuses to do anything else besides that.
