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!
This animal is based off of the American Beaver, and will only use the enrichment and habitat items originally designed for it.

Adds the Coypu, also known as the Nutria, as a new species to Planet Zoo. A straightforward animal addition mod with 139 endorsements and over 6,000 downloads, last updated in August 2024.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community support with 139 endorsements and 6,129 downloads.
- Adds a unique semi-aquatic rodent not in the base game.
- Recently updated (August 2024) so likely works with current patches.
⚠️ Cons
- Only adds one species—no extra variants or enrichment items.
- Potential compatibility issues with other animal mods that alter the same files.
- May require a mod manager for proper installation, which could be a hurdle for some.
For Planet Zoo players who want to expand their zoo with a new, realistic animal, especially those interested in semi-aquatic species. If you're looking for a mod that adds multiple animals or major gameplay changes, this isn't it—it's a focused, single-species addition.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the mod files in the 'OVERRIDE' folder within your Planet Zoo game directory to ensure proper loading.
- Check that your game version is 1.12 or later, as the mod is built for that update.
- If you use other animal mods, load this one last to avoid conflicts.
