Maybe I'm missing something. Why doesn't Diligent Zookeeper give a +1/+1 to my lands? They are creatures, they are non-human. Is it because forest/mountain etc is not a crature type but a land type? I'm perplexed.
Diligent Zookeeper and Earthbending?

Yup. It can get confusing when non-creatures are animated, but other card types don't count as creature types, even if the card becomes one on the battlefield.

Uff, my draft deck was perfect but then I found out I was wrong on every choice I made. Lesson learned (3-3 so just medium bad result)

If it helps with your understanding land types are what give the ability to tap for mana on the relevant lands. The text boxes on basic lands is actually empty, and cards like stomping ground only have the enter untapped clause. The reason the land can produce mana is because it is a land and has a basic land type. If either of those stop being true it can't produce mana anymore
Different card types and sub-types have different rules implications so they are each in their own category. If you turned an artifact that's an equipment into a creature that would also not count as a creature type for zookeeper

lands aren't creatures unless they've been turned into creatures

That's where the earthbending comes in presumably.

that would make sense (i'm out of the loop on new cards)
if that's the case then yes, i believe land types are not creature types even though they're on a creature
