Zoo Tycoon 2: Extinct Animals is a 2007 expansion for Zoo Tycoon 2, developed for PC, that adds over 30 prehistoric and historically extinct species to the base game's zoo management simulation. Players can house and exhibit creatures ranging from the dodo bird and American mastodon to the saber-toothed cat and Tyrannosaurus rex, integrating them into their zoo alongside the existing animal roster. As with the core Zoo Tycoon 2 experience, the gameplay centers on building and maintaining enclosures, managing guest satisfaction, and meeting the needs of the animals in the collection. The expansion blends the series' familiar strategy and simulation mechanics with a paleontological theme, giving players access to fauna that would otherwise be impossible to feature in a conventional zoo setting.
Head out on a paleontology dig to search for fossils, assemble your finds, and then take them to the Extinct Research Lab to bring your Extinct animals to life! Unveil the drama of Extinct landscapes with misty springs, tar pits, glaciers and maybe even a caveman or two. Once you’ve populated your Extinct zoo, you can research and cure diseases, and even wrangle a pack of rampaging dinosaurs in first-person mode! Do your part to bring 'em back and the thrill of experiencing extinct animals will bring your Zoo guests back for more!
