Let's Build a Zoo is a zoo management simulator developed by Springloaded, released in 2021 for PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. Players construct and expand a wildlife park from the ground up, importing animals from other zoos, breeding them to populate enclosures, and decorating the grounds with hundreds of buildings, foliage, and path elements. Staff management is central to operations, requiring players to hire zookeepers, vets, and other employees to handle the wide variety of events that arise. A standout feature is the DNA Splicing system, which allows players to combine the genetics of different species to produce over 300,000 hybrid animals — from a Giraffephant to a PandOwl. The game also presents moral choices, letting players decide whether to operate their zoo legitimately or pursue more legally questionable methods for greater profit. Over 500 base animal species are available in total.
