Sivatherium (Shiva's beast) is a large prehistoric mammal from Africa and Asia. It is an adoptable animal in Zoo Tycoon 2.

Description[]

Named after the Hindu God of Destruction, Sivatherium is a member of the Giraffe family. Resembling a modern-day Okapi, it reached a height of 3m (9.8ft) and weighed up to 500kg (1100lbs) or more, making it one of the largest members of its group. One of its most distinctive features were its large ossicones, which were wide and bore a resemblance to antlers.

Fossils of Sivatherium have been found throughout Africa and the Indian subcontinent, and two species are widely recognized. Studies on its teeth suggest that it would have grazed as well as browsed and, like modern day giraffes, it was a ruminant. Evolving during the late Miocene, Sivatherium is believed to have gone extinct roughly a million years ago, although a few unsubstantiated claims propose that it was still alive until around 8000 years ago.

Zoo Tycoon 2[]

Sivatherium is an adoptable animal in Zoo Tycoon 2 and was added as part of the Extinct Animals expansion pack. In Campaign and Challenge mode, it is available for adoption when a zoo reaches a rating of 1 star.

Sivatherium is a Savannah animal. Like all extinct savannah animals, it requires a tar pit in its enclosure in order to be fully comfortable. Its requirements are not dissimilar to its living relatives, the Masai and Reticulated Giraffes, and can be exhibited with them.
