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 Cuvier's Dwarf Caiman, 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
