Aquatic & flying species in Planet Zoo 2: what is confirmed

The single most-requested Planet Zoo 1 feature is officially in the sequel: fully aquatic and flying species. Here is everything that is actually confirmed, separated from community speculation.

#Confirmed (official sources)

• The Steam store description states the game includes "fully aquatic and flying species."
• Frontier has released gameplay and feature-focus videos on the Steam page, including a Gameplay Trailer — the store page is the canonical reference.
• A dedicated "Feature Focus - Wildlife Reserve" video exists, confirming reserves as a core pillar.

#Not confirmed (do not trust sites claiming otherwise)

• No official species list has been published. Any page listing a "confirmed Planet Zoo 2 roster" with specific animals is extrapolating from trailer frames unless it links an official source.
• No details yet on water-quality management systems, filtration, or aviary construction mechanics.

#The questions we will answer at launch

1. How do aquatic habitats get built — terrain tools, tank pieces, or both?
2. What welfare stats do aquatic species have (water quality? temperature? salinity?)
3. How is flight contained — aviaries, netting, or open flight with escape risk?
4. Do aquatic/flying species integrate with Wildlife Reserves?

This page becomes the reference hub for those answers on October 13.
