- Three new biomes: aquatic, polar, and Australian
- A large vivarium with 48 species of fish, reptiles, amphibians, and more
- New reptiles and aquatic or semiaquatic animals

As the first and final expansion, it completes the zoo experience with new animals, new enclosure possibilities, and new ways to bring your dream zoo to life.
