A comprehensive listing of which animals fit in each biome and continent.
This info is in the Zoopedia, but rather than searching through all the animals for the best ones for your zoo, here is a simple list format to guide your choices. It also may be helpful in choosing which maps might be to your liking for theme zoos.

Conclusion
This info may be helpful, considering that the game takes heavy account of using the continent and biome of origin to factor in welfare stats. Of course, it is fun and challenging placing animals on foreign continents, but if you want a thematic build this should make it easier to focus on compatible animals. Of course, this will also allow you to focus on boosting your welfare stats from the start.
Either way… have fun with your Planet Zoo!
Notes:
- Many animals appear in multiple categories.
- I made separate sections even in cases of only one animal for a biome. I am sure Frontier will add more animals in the future.
- I ignored the Exhibit animals because they are fine on any map and the welfare stats do not work the same way for them.
