📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros

- Simple, focused addition—no bloat, just a new species.
⚠️ Cons
- Only adds one species—if you want a pack, this is just a single animal.
- May conflict with other mods that alter the same animal or habitat.
- Compatibility with future game updates isn't guaranteed.
For Planet Zoo players who want to expand their reptile exhibits with a real-world predator. If you're a completionist collecting all species, this is a must-have. Skip if you prefer gameplay overhauls—this is purely a new animal.
