✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid download count (7,202) shows real interest from the community.
- Adds a brand new species, expanding your zoo's marine roster.
- Backed by a three-person team, which often means more polish and support.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 87 endorsements compared to downloads—could be a sign of mixed reception or just a quiet userbase.
- No details on whether it replaces an existing species or adds a fully new one, so compatibility with other animal mods is uncertain.
- Last updated in April 2025—check if it's compatible with the latest Planet Zoo patches.
For Planet Zoo players who want to add more marine life to their exhibits and are fans of shark species. If you're looking for a well-documented, feature-rich animal mod, this might be too bare-bones for you.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod files in the correct folder (usually 'OVERRIDE' or 'Win64' depending on your setup).
- If you're using other animal mods, test this one in a sandbox zoo first to avoid conflicts.
- Check the mod's page for any required DLC or game version notes before installing.
