Planet Zoo 2 African Savannah Elephant: Habitat Size, Temperature & Needs
Plan a habitat for the African Savannah Elephant by checking adult-count areas, temperature and barriers, then compare its biomes with those of other animals. The African Savannah Elephant (Loxodonta africana) lives in a terrestrial habitat in Planet Zoo 2. The official Zoopedia lists Desert, Grassland and Wetlands as its biomes and its wild range as Africa; its conservation status in the wild is Endangered. Each checked requirement below shows its evidence grade and source.

- African Savannah Elephant
Shared biomes and regions
Biomes: Desert, Grassland, Wetlands.
Regions: Africa.
A shared biome does not confirm that animals can live together.
Area for your adult counts
Exact outputs checked on the official Zoopedia. We do not multiply the one-adult value or extrapolate other counts. Area categories can overlap; do not add them together.
African Savannah Elephant · 2 adults
Within the published mixed-group range (2–16). Sex ratios still need checking.
Not confirmed yet for this adult count.
Checked counts: 1. Official Habitat panel · Grade A · 2026-10-13.
Temperature and barrier comparison
Shared temperature: 14°C to 36°C
Strongest barrier: Grade 4.
Tallest barrier: 3 m.
These compare the published numbers. Roofs, climb-proofing, water conditions and mixed-species safety need separate checks.

Before you build
- Check group composition first: the mixed-group range is 2 - 16; the male-only, female-only and maximum-per-sex limits are listed separately above.
- Keep the habitat within the published 14°C to 36°C range. Compare every selected species before choosing a shared temperature.
- Compare these barrier requirements before building: Barrier strength Grade 4; Barrier height 3m.
- Use the area value for the checked adult count. Shelter, water, climbing and flight areas remain separate requirements, and mixed-species totals are not confirmed.
Animals that share its biome
Other terrestrial animals the Zoopedia lists for at least one of the same biomes: Asian Elephant, Bactrian Camel, Black Rhinoceros, Cape Buffalo, Common Hippopotamus, Gemsbok, Grey Wolf, Meerkat, Nile Monitor, Przewalski's Horse, Spotted Hyena and Springbok. Sharing a biome does not mean they can share a habitat; the game's own Zoopedia says which species can live together.

African Savannah Elephant questions
What biome does the African Savannah Elephant need in Planet Zoo 2?
The official Zoopedia lists the African Savannah Elephant for the Desert, Grassland and Wetlands biomes. In the wild it lives in Africa.
How much habitat space does the African Savannah Elephant need?
Not confirmed yet for the planned group. Use the tool to see which adult counts have checked area values.
What temperature does the African Savannah Elephant need?
14°C to 36°C is the published habitat temperature range. This comes from the visible Habitat panel of Frontier's online Zoopedia, checked October 13, 2026.
What barrier does the African Savannah Elephant need?
Barrier strength: Grade 4; Barrier height: 3m. These are the published requirements; additional construction details are not confirmed here.
Which animals can live with the African Savannah Elephant?
Its official relationship lists include Masai Giraffe, Reticulated Giraffe and Black Rhinoceros. Check each relationship type in the planner and meet every species' habitat needs; sharing a biome alone does not confirm cohabitation.
