Planet Zoo 2 Eurasian Beaver — habitat, biome, size & which animals it can live with

Eurasian Beaver is one of the 130 Planet Zoo 2 launch species. It is housed in a Habitat habitat, accepts the Lakes & Rivers / Taiga / Temperate biome, carries a Grade 2 · 1.25m barrier requirement and is listed at 0.90 m (nosetorump). It shares a biome and an enclosure type with 14 other species, so it can be mixed into a shared enclosure — 0 of those pairings are confirmed by Frontier's own text.

Enclosure and barrier requirements

Eurasian Beaver needs a Habitat enclosure and accepts the Lakes & Rivers / Taiga / Temperate biomes. The barrier requirement is Grade 2 · 1.25m, 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 Eurasian Beaver?

6 launch species share both a biome and an enclosure type with the Eurasian Beaver, so they are the only candidates for a mixed habitat. Of those, 0 are confirmed group-living by Frontier's own text and 6 are unverified — both are listed rather than presented as equally safe.

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

8 of the species that accept the Lakes & Rivers / Taiga / Temperate biome cannot share an enclosure with the Eurasian Beaver, 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.

Close, but ruled out by enclosure type

26 species share at least one biome with the Eurasian Beaver 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

Eurasian Beaver is classed as Not stated in Frontier's Social & Reproduction notes: “The Eurasian beaver lives in family groups of a mated dominant pair, their young adult offspring and the litter of kits from that year.” On size the game lists 0.90 m (nosetorump) for the male and 0.90 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.
