It's time for the first episode in our Feature Focus series for Planet Zoo 2 - Awe-inspiring Animals! In this video, we visit our Lions for a look at their behaviours and welfare needs.

Join us as we head behind the scenes for an in-depth look at exactly how we create our terrestrial species for Planet Zoo 2, discover what's changed in the years since the original Planet Zoo and learn just what makes these animals such a leap forward!
