There is no guaranteed way to obtain an albino or leucistic animal in Planet Zoo 2, nor can you guarantee getting your hands on other color morphs in the game.
Instead, it’s the luck of the draw, and the easiest way to obtain one of the color morphs is to check the trade market for another player selling the animal. However, they can offer come alongside a pretty hefty outlay of Conservation Credits.
If you’re lucky, you can also find animal morph variations in Planet Zoo 2 on the trade market through cash sources, but these are rare. Just keep an eye on the listings and keep checking, I was lucky enough to find a leucistic Malayan Tapir in my Career Mode.
Alternatively, you can opt to breed color morph variants yourself, although this can be a lengthy process and may require hundreds of offspring.
The odds of breeding a color morph are pretty low, but the odds increase when one of the parents has the same color morph, and even more so if both parents have the mutation.
It’s really just a game of patience, however, so keep managing your zoo and keep an eye out on the babies that are being born. Naturally, due to the larger litter size and more frequent offspring, some of the more common and easy to care for animals will likely be among the first color morphs you obtain.
