How many animals from your favourite Zoo simulation game have you actually seen IRL?

Planet Zoo:

I am going to subspecific status here so for example it has to be a Formosan Black Bear or a Western Chimpanzee.

Thought I'd also do Megaquarium again, since I've seen a couple new species since the last time I did a list for it, plus a whole new DLC has come out with 15 new animals. Since some names can be a bit ambiguous, I'm using the scientific names the dev said each in-game animal represents as stated in this Steam thread Freshwater Frenzy Categories :: Megaquarium General Discussions
