Let's Build a Zoo is a Construction and Management Game developed by Springloaded and published by No More Robots. It was released on Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in 2021. A DLC expansion called Dinosaur Island was released in 2022, followed by Aquarium Odyssey in 2023.The player is tasked with creating a zoo, and fulfilling requests from various visitors, investors, conservationists, and corporations. Occasionally, you'll get messages called Critical Choices that require you to select one of two options before continuing, and depending on your choice, you'll be rewarded with money, morality points, or new animals. Then things get weird. You can turn your zoo into a sustainable farm powered by wind turbines, or a polluted industrial complex where you kill your animals to make products from them. Either way, you can also create hybrids using gene-splicing.

Kids' Show Mascot Parody: One Critical Choice is from a purple dinosaur named Bernie, who wants to corrupt your zoo with subliminal marketing by selling merchandise there. Accepting his offer is the evil choice. You can also hire mascots in Bernie costumes.

Black Comedy: The newspaper articles that pop up when you reach certain milestones contain a lot of jabs at corporate greed, such as the CEO of a power corporation complaining about renewable energy because it means less money for them.

comment
Creature-Breeding Mechanic: If you have at least one male and one female animal of the same species in an enclosure, they have a chance to breed with each-other. Usually the offspring will look like one of the parents, but there's a rare chance they'll produce a different variant instead. You can speed this process up using the nursery.

comment
Artistic License – Paleontology: Desmatosuchus' description calls it a dinosaur, even though it was an aetosaur, a group of archosaurs that are more closely related to crocodilians and went extinct at the end of the Triassic. The "pterodactyl" is noticeably less realistic than the other pterosaurs; it's bipedal, and despite the name, looks more like Pteranodon. Velociraptor and Dilophosaurus are once again based on their Jurassic Park counterparts. Tsintaosaurus has a unicorn-like crest, which has now been disproven.
