If you like the work that I do, be sure to check out my channel by clicking the banner above, and consider endorsing my mods that you enjoy! I hope you have lots of fun with my mods, and I hope you have a great day!

This mod and many others would not be possible without the help of the Cobra Tool Developers: Inaki, Hendrix, HarlequinzEg0, Hexabit, as well as so many other fantastic creators within the Planet Zoo Modding Community.

The mod you are downloading currently features:

New Species Coding - Boost your basegame roster with this additional animal!

Juvenile Scaling - As babies are born, they will scale with age until they mature.

Full Zoopedia - Genuine and well-developed information goes into perfectly fulfilling animal knowledge in the Zoopedia.

Education Boards - Specifically developed for education of guests, with beautiful shots of the animal!

Interspecies Enrichment - Adds appropriate Interspecies Enrichment to create more dynamic habitats!

Extra Morphs - A splash of color! Adds a bunch of new morphs to give those animals a bit more color! (3+ Included)

This animal is based off of the Asian Water Monitor, and will only use the enrichment and habitat items originally designed for it.

This mod requires ACSE.

ACSE is a tool for modders to add more special features to mods that we couldn't add without it. You install it exactly the same way as other mods by unpacking the file and placing the folder into your Steam Library via: \steamapps\common\Planet Zoo\win64\ovldata

If you like this mod and my other content, please consider taking a look at my Ko-Fi!

If you are interested in translating this mod into another language, please join the Modding Discord and find your way to the "PZ - Translations" Channel. Contact BongoHardwood to get set up with a translator role!

Languages now available (Thanks to Masora157 & Dacki1990):

If this is your first time installing mods, please check out this Installation Tutorial!

This teaches you how to download and install mods from Nexus from the internet to your game!

After you download this . ZIP / . RAR file, unpack it directly to the following directory: \steamapps\common\Planet Zoo\win64\ovldata

If you do not know how to locate your ovldata folder, see the video below.
