Can't move wolves to habitat

[Raphael]

I have 2 wolves. When I try to move them from the trade center to a habitat the icon over the habitat door turns from green to red. The habitat has more than enough square footage, food, shelter, water, and is connected by only staff paths from the trade center to the habitat door. It is made of wooden logs with a wooden door. I can't figure out why the icon turns red and it won't let me move the wolves.

I tried completely deleting the habitat and rebuilt it and I still can't move them.

Is the door to the habitat powered?

Yep, the door is next to a power generator.

I tried adopting some bison and I have the same issue - I get the red icon when I mouseover the habitat.

Is the habbitat really closed? if you have mountains or something like that as barrier you still need to finish the barrier with a null barrier.

It is 100% closed. I even deleted and rebuilt it so there are no mountains or anything else that could be a factor. I tried making another enclosure in a completely different area of the map and have the same problem. I get the red icon.

Here is a screenshot of a new habitat that is giving me the same red icon. I was trying to move an Indian Peafowl into it.

I've got 2 african wild dogs and a herd of wildebeest stuck in the trade centre with this very problem. There's nothing at all wrong with my enclosures but the keepers will not do their damn jobs and put them in

Hmm, my question may be stupid, but do you have zoo keepers available? Because these people will transport animals in pens, so it will make sense

I hired both zoo keepers and caretakers and assigned them to the work zone with this habitat.

After a lot of trial and error, I finally got it working.

* I deleted the trade center, which originally was the Planet Zoo trade center. I replaced it with a basic trade center.
* I moved the trade center to be right next to the exhibit.
* the original trade center was on the other side of a bridge. Not sure if that was a factor
* I hired a caretaker and did NOT assign it to any work zone. This caretaker is the one that started delivering the animals.

Of those things, I suspect that assigning caretakers to a habitat prevents them from transporting animals. It could be a bug. Only the unassigned one would do it.
