Planet Zoo 2 Cloudless Sulphur — habitat, biome, size & which animals it can live with
Cloudless Sulphur is one of the 130 Planet Zoo 2 launch species. It is housed in a Exhibit habitat, accepts the Savannah / Taiga / Temperate biome, carries a no barrier requirement and is listed at 0.07 m (legspan). It shares a biome and an enclosure type with 13 other species, so it can be mixed into a shared enclosure — 2 of those pairings are confirmed by Frontier's own text.
Every figure on this page comes from the official Planet Zoo 2 Zoopedia export rather than trailer footage: biome, enclosure type, barrier grade, size and the compatibility verdicts are all taken from the game's own data.

Enclosure and barrier requirements
Cloudless Sulphur needs a Exhibit enclosure and accepts the Savannah / Taiga / Temperate biomes. The barrier requirement is none at all, and that is the number to check before building: a Grade 4 animal behind a Grade 1 wall is the most common way a first zoo stalls.
Which animals can live with the Cloudless Sulphur?
2 launch species share both a biome and an enclosure type with the Cloudless Sulphur, so they are the only candidates for a mixed habitat. Of those, 2 are confirmed group-living by Frontier's own text and 0 are unverified — both are listed rather than presented as equally safe.
| Species | Biome | Enclosure | Verdict | Evidence |
|---|
| RainforestSavannah | Exhibit | Likely OK | Giant Tiger Land Snail “Giant tiger land snails do not actively live in groups, but are passive enough to tolerate others without aggression.” |
| SavannahTaigaTemperateTundra | Exhibit | Likely OK | Old World Swallowtail “Like most butterflies, the Old World swallowtail has no social needs outside of mating or competing for mates, but equally does to…” |
Rule: two animals can share an enclosure only when they share a biome and an enclosure type. Likely OK means Frontier's own Social & Reproduction text says both species live in groups; Unverified means the data does not say, so we do not guess. Pair-by-pair table: compatibility chart.
Same biome, but not compatible
11 of the species that accept the Savannah / Taiga / Temperate biome cannot share an enclosure with the Cloudless Sulphur, because one side of the pair is officially solitary. These are the pairings people ask about most, so they are spelled out rather than left as an unexplained gap.
| Species | Biome | Enclosure | Why not |

| RainforestSavannah | Exhibit | Boa Constrictor is solitary “Boa constrictors are solitary animals and do not interact in the wild, except when mating or fighting over mating rights.” |
| RainforestSavannahTemperate | Exhibit | Common Bluetongue is solitary “Common bluetongues are solitary animals and only interact to mate or fight over mates.” |
| DesertSavannahTemperate | Exhibit | Eastern Brown Snake is solitary “Adult male Eastern brown snakes are solitary, whereas females may interact with each other after laying their eggs; they will often do this…” |
| SavannahTemperate | Exhibit | European Peacock is solitary “The European peacock butterfly is largely solitary and males may defend their territory from other males they encounter.” |
| TemperateWetlands | Exhibit | Fire Salamander is solitary “Fire salamanders are solitary in the wild but are generally tolerant of other individuals if enough space, mates and food are available. Mal…” |
| RainforestSavannah | Exhibit | Goliath Beetle is solitary “Goliath beetles are solitary animals – other than to mate or compete over mates, they do not interact in the wild.” |

| DesertRainforestTemperate | Exhibit | Mexican Redknee is solitary “Mexican redknees are solitary animals and are likely to be aggressive towards each other if kept together in a terrarium.” |
| RainforestSavannahTemperate | Exhibit | Monarch is solitary “Non-migratory monarch butterflies are solitary for most of the year, while those who do migrate will cluster in massive swarms of up to 10,000 individuals.” |

Close, but ruled out by enclosure type
46 species share at least one biome with the Cloudless Sulphur but use a different enclosure type — a land habitat against an aquarium or a flying aviary — so they cannot be mixed however well the biomes line up.

Behaviour, size and weight
Cloudless Sulphur is classed as Mixed group in Frontier's Social & Reproduction notes: “The cloudless sulphur is solitary and has no social requirements. Individuals only spend time with others during the mating season.” On size the game lists 0.07 m (legspan) for the male and 0.07 m for the female. Size and weight together decide the minimum habitat footprint, so use the female figure when you are sizing a breeding pair rather than a display animal.
FAQ
Can Cloudless Sulphur live with other animals in Planet Zoo 2?
Yes. 2 launch species share both a biome and an enclosure type with Cloudless Sulphur, and 2 of those are confirmed as group-living by Frontier's own text. Keep the Savannah / Taiga / Temperate biome and the Exhibit habitat constant and mixing them is a data question, not a guess.
What biome does Cloudless Sulphur need in Planet Zoo 2?
Cloudless Sulphur accepts 3 biomes: Savannah / Taiga / Temperate. Biome is not cosmetic — a species placed outside its listed biomes will not thrive, however good the enclosure looks.
What barrier grade does Cloudless Sulphur need?
Cloudless Sulphur needs no barrier grade. With no barrier grade in the data, this species is shown behind glass in an aquarium or exhibit rather than behind a paddock fence.
Is Cloudless Sulphur in the base game or Deluxe?
Cloudless Sulphur ships with the base game in Planet Zoo 2 — no extra purchase is needed to add it to a zoo.
How big is Cloudless Sulphur in Planet Zoo 2?
Cloudless Sulphur is listed at 0.07 m (legspan), with an adult male weight of not published. Small-bodied species like this are the ones that fit into a starter zoo with room to spare, which is why they make good first purchases.
Is Cloudless Sulphur social or solitary?
Frontier's own Social & Reproduction text classes Cloudless Sulphur as mixed group. “The cloudless sulphur is solitary and has no social requirements. Individuals only spend time with others during the mating season.” That classification is what decides most of the compatibility verdicts on this page.
