Big thanks to Emzy for commissioning this mod!
• This mod updates the looks of the existing Plains Zebra (Equus quagga). Body proportions (legs, body) have been adjusted and the head shape has been corrected, also the patterning has been completely redone to be accurate to Grant's zebras.
* 4 NEW variants! Enjoy the spotted zebra, the erythristic zebra, the Burchell's zebra subspecies and the curious Quagga project zebra coat as additional variants!
• The remaster changes the look of the male, female and juvenile.
• New UI images, including zoopedia and thumbnails.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 519 endorsements and 24k downloads — clearly a mod people trust.
- Four new variants give your zoos serious variety, from the rare erythristic to the historical Quagga.
- Recently updated (April 2025) so it should work with the latest game patches without fuss.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the Plains Zebra — if you wanted other zebra species remastered, this isn't it.
- No screenshots or preview images in the description, so you're flying blind until you see it in-game.
For Planet Zoo players who want their zebra exhibits to look more realistic and diverse, especially those who enjoy adding historical or rare color morphs. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes — this is purely a visual overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod files in the correct Planet Zoo mod folder (usually Documents/Planet Zoo/WinGDK/Mods) to avoid issues.
- If you're using other zebra mods, this overhaul may conflict — test with a fresh zoo first to see if it works.
- Check the mod's page for any update notes after game patches, as mods can break with new updates.
