Source-based reference, not a hands-on play report. Values are the official website's displayed snapshot; check the planned adult population and current in-game Zoopedia before building.

Housing and environment requirements

The displayed space values are not a fixed allowance for every group size. Frontier's Animals guide says each additional adult increases space requirements; use the Zoopedia population planner and traversable-area checks.

Land area alone is not sufficient when climbing, swimming or shelter space is also required.
