I heard you have to keep them happy, Thats all. But what i dont get is how am i supposed to know what kind of plants they want?

I don't remember all the exact names off the top of my head for the menus and buttons, so I hope you can follow.

When they are sick (indicated by the heart icon being yellow instead of green), you have to click on the Animal and choose the button (under the bars) that says "Cure Animal" - you have to pay for this. The game notifies you when your animals are sick but you can also check their status before it tells you (just click the animals every once in a while). This is beneficial because the longer you let them be sick for, the more it'll cost to cure them.

In order to keep it from getting sick there are two things to do:
~ Clean the habitat often (I set it so Keepers come to clean it at 85%) and
~ do Research on its health (after you acquire an animal, you'll have options to research it further: to keep it from getting sick, to help it breed faster, and to rehabilitate it).

What plants they want depend on which continent its from, go to the Habitat Construction menu - it has the fences, food, water, shelters/ accessories (ex: logs), and plants there. Just get any plant that's under the appropriate continent for the animal (for ex: Water Buffalo are from Africa so you'd get any plant that's from the African menu)

In case you don't know this, if you go to the Buy Animal menu it says what the animal needs other than plants (the type of fence, the shelter size, whether it need swimming water - because you don't need to buy water unless they specifically request it, what kind of food it eats and what portion size).

Hope this helps!
