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

Siamang is one of the 130 Planet Zoo 2 launch species. It is housed in a Habitat habitat, accepts the Rainforest biome, carries a Grade 2 · 3m · climb-proof barrier requirement and is listed at 0.88 m (standing). It shares a biome and an enclosure type with 19 other species, so it can be mixed into a shared enclosure — 8 of those pairings are confirmed by Frontier's own text.

Enclosure and barrier requirements

Siamang needs a Habitat enclosure and accepts the Rainforest biome. The barrier requirement is Grade 2 · 3m · climb-proof, 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 Siamang?

8 launch species share both a biome and an enclosure type with the Siamang, so they are the only candidates for a mixed habitat. Of those, 8 are confirmed group-living by Frontier's own text and 0 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

11 of the species that accept the Rainforest biome cannot share an enclosure with the Siamang, 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.

African Leopard	RainforestSavannah	Habitat	African Leopard is solitary “African leopards are solitary except for a mother raising her cubs.”

Close, but ruled out by enclosure type

18 species share at least one biome with the Siamang 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

Siamang is classed as Mixed group in Frontier's Social & Reproduction notes: “Siamangs live in family groups made up of a monogamous breeding pair with their immature offspring, usually 2 to 3 juveniles. They are very social animals and generally do not live alone.” On size the game lists 0.88 m (standing) for the male and 0.88 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.
