Problem with Confirmed Animals
I see that some people are putting animals to the list that haven't been confirmed by Microsoft or Blue Fang at the moment, and I just want to notify this: currently we know of three animals which are the Mammoth, the Wooly Rhino, and the Smilodon. If you see other animals confirmed, cite your sources (provide a link proving the animal has been confirmed) of the information and we'll be fine with it. Thank you. The Helper S 05:33, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
That's SOOOO annoying. Dora Nichov 13:19, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
YEAH!! It confuzes others. Dinoman96 17:18, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Pictures Request
I can't beleive someone's requested a picture. No animals or objects have even been confirmed - and if there were any pictures, I'm good enough to put them on! --218.111.23.71 11:03, 24 January 2007 (UTC) (Sorry - didn't realise I wasn't logged in! I am User:Cuddly Panda
Yeah... Dora Nichov 13:19, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
Semi-Protection
Do you think this article needs semi-protection? Teak 00:21, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
YES YES YES! Dora Nichov 03:50, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Heck Yeah! This Article is crawling with moronaters... Dinoman96 18:16, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
Mostly one actually: Bunny Beater/Komodo Lover/Black Rhino Ranger/Womcat/Snakezilla... Dora Nichov 10:57, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
Editing abuse
I don't know about the rest of you...but I am getting tired of all this constant editing, and reverting and so forth. This article has reached well over 500 edits, and the stupid game has not even been released yet. For that matter, an official sneak peak has not yet been released by Microsoft, so how can all these "facts" be proven or disproven?
This is getting close to edit warring, and before an admin decides to completely lock the article, we should start choosing our edits wisely. Blipadouzi 01:05, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Quick Question
I just wanted to know, some have put this month as a release for the expansion and others have put it between May-August (as currently put). Can anyone tell me why so many are pinpointing the release date so close when no actual information has even been given? I haven't seen any official BF info yet, so I'm going to put TBA 2007 until release info is confirmed. Discusion welcome on the topic (PS: Off-topic, but I also registered at ZA last week so I could recieve access to the site and discuss stuff there; I used to lurk there occasionally for a few years but since now it's members-only, I just registered so feel free to contact me there). The Helper S 00:14, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Currently there are two possible major release dates - July 3rd according to a swedish website, and October 3rd according to another website. I think we should just write 'Spring 2007' or 'Second Quarter 2007' or something along the lines of 'Spring-Summer' --JohnVMaster 19:54, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

- Interesting find...the cover art looks nice, but I noticed something on the article someone put up...someone here said that the Wal-Mart website already listed the Prima Guide for this XP with an arrival date of 4/30/07, surely the expansions shouldn't be coming out so soon without information even on the main site or info from BF representatives at ZA, am I missing something here? The Helper S 05:19, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- It say Forbidden when i try to get on Zoo Admin. Is it just me? Dinoman96 18:49, 30 April 2007
Happens to me to. Jntg4 (not logged in)
- A Swiss website has Zoo tycoon 2 EA listed for release on 05/07/2007. Yeah Right.
- The Swiss list their dates as in DD/MM/YYYY not MM/DD/YYYY so it's July 3, not May 7 (If they're not pulling a Wal-Mart)--JohnVMaster 22:20, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Woolly rhino
How can you tell it is a Coelodonta?
- It's just speculated to be Coelodonta currently, so we aren't sure yet about that one so it could be another extinct rhino species, like a Elasmotherium (unlikely, since the rhino in the film snippet looks like it had two horns, but I could b mistaken). Until we actually find out, then I edited the article to say it is speculated only and not confirmed. The Helper S 22:02, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Dinosaurs
Do you think there will be any? Dinoman96 23:25, 29 April 2007
Well, IMO (possibly or possibly not true just yet, I believe it might not due to the fact that the boxart has more recent animals and have already released the Dino Danger pack, though. But that's just my speculation...there could be dinos in it, and the name is "Extinct Animals", so it isn't ruled out just yet. The Helper S 22:58, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
- The other day, some idiot posted that there would be a Tyrannosaurus in Extinct Animals. THERE'S ALREADY A T-REX AVAILABLE!! Seriously, some people...
- Eat your words. Press release, read it! --Cuddly Panda 07:18, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
- I wrote that BEFORE the press release...before any of us knew the DD pack (or at least two of the dinos) would be included. At the time, the guy was being a typical Moronator. CBFan 16:22, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Volcano
Isn't there one in ZT2: ES?Patrickstar2 (talk) 03:08, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Thylacine/Carnotaurus/Triceratops/Gastornis
If whoever keeps adding them to the list would be so kind as to show us where they got the confirmed (and note that word) information, please post it here. Otherwise, we know nothing about any of these animals, so stop posting them Snakezilla. 212.139.252.189 11:16, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Black rhino ranger: Snake is right, there will be a tasmanian tiger because he heard that it is in the video, not the smilodon and if the t-rex and styrachosaurus is in EA then the rest of the dinos from Dino Danger should be in EA and the gastornis and Quagga are in the screenshots so DO NOT REMOVE ANY OF THESE ANIMALS and stop saying Tylacine. Its giving me and snake a headache
That's because you ARE SnakeZilla. You must be, because you're using the same stupid method of signing your name. I already told you, press THIS key ~ four times and it automatically signs your name! I already told SnakeZilla (or rather, YOU) that no Thylacine has been confirmed. PROVE that a Thylacine has been confirmed (WITHOUT saying "the video") and we'll believe you. Likewise, show screenshots that the Triceratops and Carnotaurus are DEFINATELY in EA (yes, it's highly likely that they will be, but we don't have proof as yet) AND this "second batch of screenshots" that show the Gastornis and Quagga you constantly whinge about and we'll believe you. Otherwise, stop vandalising Black Rhino Ranger/SnakeZilla/Moronator. And finally, you have no right to tell me to stop saying Thylacine (which, I may point out, you've spelt incorrectly). It is the technical name for Tasmanian Tiger, looks more scientific and is easier to write AND say, so I don't see your problem.
Absolutely right!!! Dora Nichov 09:02, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Mistakes
Blackrhino ranger: I think the release has made a mistake, the t-rex should only be in Dino Danger as well as the styrachosaurus. the screen shot must have taken two animals and one is from a diferent expasion pack, styrachosaurus should not be in EA, it should be in DD2
- READ THE DAMNED PRESS RELEASE! --Cuddly Panda 07:19, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
- And sign your name properly. And stop creating more than one account, Snakezilla (we know it's you) CBFan 16:23, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
CP and CBFan are right, I have nothing more to say. Dora Nichov 09:01, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Black rhino ranger: I Have no chioce, I Have To Have This
Sign your blooming name properly! 212.219.92.36 10:07, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Stop acting so stupid and dumb and who knows what. You don't have to vandalize. Dora Nichov 10:20, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Black rhino ranger: I'm not allowed to do this
Stop deleting posts BRR. You are NOT allowed to do what you are currently doing. You MUST sign properly. There is no two ways about it. 80.43.115.178 17:07, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Do what? Dora Nichov 09:01, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Sign your ruddy name properly!! FOUR of these signs (~).
Black rhino ranger: Signing my name before my quote is the an exersising thing, That will be lazy if I just added in 4 signs (~).
It is NOT lazy, it is the RULES. It also makes Wikipedia run smoother. You are a vandal and a Moronator for NOT doing it...more of one, considering your history. Just type this ~ four times. 212.219.92.36 12:53, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Mammoth
Sorry to disturb this discussion page's petty squabbling, but I just wanted to point out that the mammoth isn't listed in the list of animals. You guys have yourself stated that it's confirmed but it's not there. I'm not an actual member of wikipedia so I'm not going to try and edit the page but I think that one of you guys, who seem to regularly haunt this page for a chance to snipe at each other, should.
It's NOT confirmed! Dora Nichov 02:30, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
And we don't "haunt this page for a chance to snipe at each other", we patrol this page in case dumb vandals like the infamous Komodo Lover come along. Dora Nichov 02:31, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
The dodo and smilodon are confirmed by the box art why not the mammoth? When I say "you guys have yourself stated that it's confirmed" I'm going by The Helper S's post under Problem with Confirmed Mammoth, which you didn't have a problem with. If I'm wrong don't change it but you can't deny that there is a source, except for the mouse that's on all the boxes there's never been an animal on the box that hasn't been in the game. Pentagram16 20:11, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
And you don't call this sniping: That's SOOOO annoying, YEAH!!, I can't beleive someone's requested a picture (if someone's not tuned in, it's not that big a deal), Yeah + Right (you responded twice to the same post, three days later, and no one had even said anything new), YES YES YES, Heck Yeah!, moronaters, THERE'S ALREADY A T-REX AVAILABLE!! Seriously, some people, Absolutely right!!!, READ THE DAMNED PRESS RELEASE (you guys could be civil you know), CP and CBFan are right, I have nothing more to say, Sign your blooming name properly, Stop acting so stupid and dumb and who knows what (the same goes for here), Sign your ruddy name properly!!, Eat your words. Press release, read it!, It's NOT confirmed! (ah my favourite, seeing as when The Helper S said it you didn't disagree). This just isn't the greatest example of civility, a little common courtesy isn't going to kill you, and posts that are only one or two words long are just a waste of eletricity and space. Pentagram16 20:11, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
P.S.: And before you say, well you're not being civil either (or being a hypocrite), just don't
Sigh... How do we know the elephantid isn't a mastodon (which IS confirmed), huh? And at the time I agreed, we THOUGHT the mammoth would be in the EXP but now it's probably the mastodon. Plus "YES YES YES" isn't even uncivil. And just stop trying to be an admin, Pentagram16! Either ignore us or stop being so sensitive. "Absolutely right!!!", "It's NOT confirmed!", etc aren't really uncivil either. Dora Nichov 00:41, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Okay, maybe I didn't start on the right foot with my spiel of uncivility so I'll just forget about it. But you still aren't acknowledging the box. 70.77.12.103 01:56, 4 July 2007 (UTC) (Oops I wasn't sighned in then, sorry) Pentagram16 15:03, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
I've already said: how do you know it's not a mastodon? You can't be 100% sure it's a mammoth. Dora Nichov 03:42, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
I know this will sound fairly sketchy but you can tell it isn't a mastodon by the tusks. Mastodons did look almost identical to mammoths but their tusks were almost completely horizontal while mammoth tusks had a strong curvature to them, like the tusks you can see on the box. I found this out on this page Mastodon. Pentagram16 14:56, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Now that I think about it this might also apply to the Mammoth/Mastodon Statue/Skeleton, I've never actually seen the video (it seems I don't have the proper version of flash and when I try to download it, it doesn't work). Pentagram16 15:00, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
I also think that the box art should be removed as one of the reasons that the mastodon is confirmed, seeing as we're having this controversy over whether or not it is a mammoth or a mastodon. Pentagram16 15:06, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
You have a point. The mastodon is confirmed while the mammoth is not, and although you might argue about the tusks ZT2 has been known to be wrong at times... Dora Nichov 01:14, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
What do you mean it's been wrong before? I know I probably sound totally dense. Pentagram16 01:16, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
See here. Dora Nichov 03:34, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but that page is hopelessly inaccurate, it'll need adjusting. Whoever put it together has clearly never played ZT2 at all. 212.219.92.45 15:02, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Okay, very true. So what if we took this in a totally different direction? Do you think we could make a semi-confirmed list, as in confirmations that are under scrutiny? Or would that just be too confusing? It would still need reasons for confirmation, verifiable reasons, and would of course need strict monitoring against vandals (from what I've read on this page coug, cough, Bunny Beater/Komodo Lover/Black Rhino Ranger/Womcat/Snakezilla, cough). Pentagram16 04:06, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Maybe we should set it aside for now, as we can't be 100% sure. Dora Nichov 04:18, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
I spotted a few differences between the mammoth and mastodon
| Animals | Difference 1 | Difference 2 | Difference 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mammoth | Tusks are more joined together | Has a huge hump | Large forehead |
| Mastodon | Tusks are more seprated | Has a small hump | Small forehead |
Who posted this? 70.77.12.103 21:49, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Why is the mammoth in the same box as the mastodon? The mastodon was confirmed by the press release, so there isn't debate that there is a mastodon. Yet the mammoth is there to, and if its there at all it should be in a different box, we know there's a mastodon. Pentagram16 15:19, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Never Mind. 70.77.12.103 21:48, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Random Wonderings
Random Wondering 1: Do you think there will be any Pre-mezozoic animals, arthropleura, dimetrodon and the like? Random Wondering 2(which is even more useless): Do you think there will be any extinct ambient animals in the new EA maps, assuming there are any? Pentagram16 15:09, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Only one answer to both: "probably". Dora Nichov 00:13, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Sorry
I didn't mean to screw up the wikitable, i was trying to get rid of some Moronation. (Some guy said there was a Europe Lion and a Mammoth.)
Please forgive me. Dinoman96 12:02, 6 July 2007
So why are the lion and the mammoth still there? Pentagram16 15:16, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
I don't know, and i'm not touching a wikitable again, so can anyone delete that, please? Dinoman96 16:39, 6 July 2007
Before the release was released
You use to comfirm the mammoth before the screenshots and release were released. Now all of you now think that the mastodon is in the box art but it is actually a mammoth. Nerd with tests 15:35, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
Prove it. We thought it was a mammoth but now it's more likely a mastodon. Dora Nichov 01:02, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Looks more like a mammoth to me. Nerd with tests 02:06, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
So? Just because it looks like one does that mean it IS one? Dora Nichov 02:47, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
