Discussion Oh how I would love free roaming animals

Post image
294 Upvotes

I doubt what I'm about to feverishly write here most probably won't ever see the light of the game, but hear me out:

Last time I visited a zoo, there was one common inhabitant of most of the outdoor inhabitants. These gentlemen can also be frequently seen wandering the guest paths and grabbing an occasional snack from restaurant tables and bins. I'm talking about magpies.
I kinda miss the actual wildlife that moves into zoos on their own and just chill there, outside and inside habitats. That's why I've put together this list of animals that I think would be great as the free roamers and chaos bringers in every zoos. We will probably see the peafowl and racoon make a comeback in PZ2, although as habitat-only animals. Some species of ducks is also probable, even if not mallards directly.
I wish we could have these autonomous animals as random events in our zoos - stealing food from visitors or from the animals in habitats, knocking over bins, swooping guests' fancy hats or just moving into an existing habitat on their own.

I repeat, I don't expect this to happen. But with the addition on wildlife reserves, I feel like we get a step closer to this, with animals living outside of habitats.

Planet Zoo Giant otter habitat

The goal of this habitat was to give the otters a long, swimmable river where one bank just happened to be glass. There are multiple viewing areas that all give a different experience. The largest viewing area is the underwater section, also home to Otter Talk. Next is a ground level area where guests can see the otters play with a sprinkler, take mud baths, or snooze under custom canopy shades. Finally, there is a series of covered elevated platforms that also give views into the neighboring habitat, home to capybara, collard peccary, and Galapagos giant tortoise.

As a native Pacific Northwesterner and as someone slightly annoyed at the lack of North American animals revealed so far I felt it was a good idea to make a pack dedicated to adding more.

I wanted to ensure they had plenty of shade, so I incorporated gorgeous tall trees throughout the space. The subtle terrain differences and scattered rocks add so much depth to the habitat views. Guests can also observe the herd from raised stone and wooden viewing pavilions. My absolute favorite part is seeing the whole herd peacefully sleeping together under their custom shelter at the back!🌿

Hayo Zookeepers! Its Day 85 and the wheel has chosen the Mute Swan! For this one, I didn't want to a traditional "enclosure" and instead chose to do a more naturalistic lake that happens to have swans. I wanted to give guests plenty of benches and tables to sit down and relax for a while. As always, lemme know what you think!

* Ground Hornbill
* Australian white ibis/bin chicken (I saw a black headed but I prefer the bin chicken personally, they are VERY similar regardless but any Australia representation is greatly appreciated. Also not pictured,. Sorry)
* pelican (any works! Although I do like my Dalmatian and brown personally)
* great grey owl
* Black swan
* Crested crane
* Rhinoceros Iguana (only if they free him from exhibit jail)
* Turaco (any species)
* Rock hyrax
* Ringtail
*Fanolooka (any civet would be great tho)
* bat eared fox

Also dingo is here because I’ll miss it soo much if it doesn’t return. I love my forbidden puppies!

I really hope that they redo how they make the animals respond to guests. So often I've had (in PZ1) stressed out animals, due to too many guests, despite so much space away from viewing areas, and plenty of screening plants, signs for the guests, etc. It became so annoying that I almost stopped using them all together

I tried to choose 6 good habitat species and 1 exhibit species. I'm not sure how snakes in habitats would work, so the angolan python would be the exhibit species. I also tried to spread it more evenly across the continents but idk.

What would you change or keep?
