why's everyone in planet zoo begging for fishes and marine mammals and birds and more avians

[dylan2457]

can you tell me why?

[audiolady]

it's what they want to see. I'm always happiest when there's a new cat, spider or snake added.

They have been forever and it's getting so boring now

We need fish and fully marine animals desperately. Zoo Tycoon 2 (I think the creators of that work on this game but I could be misremembering) had them and it just feels like it can't be a full zoo game unless you can put dolphins, sharks, and fish in your zoo.

Except dolphins and sharks are not found in any zoo so this is simply not true

... because it's what they want? It's really not complicated.

It's not just birds in general people want, it's birds of flight, because people want the ability to build proper aviaries in their zoos. With the inclusion of bats, people thought an Aviary pack with flying birds was well on the way, but their support is coming to an end and we still haven't got them. Habitat birds really need attention, too. There are so many terrestrial avian species like game birds and waterfowl that could still be included in the game.

It would be nice to have marine animals in Planet Zoo, and they have the necessary mechanics at their disposal because of their work on JWE 2. Sadly, it's a strong likelihood that it's not going to happen, but even so, they can at least make up for it by giving us another pinniped (seals) or even sea otters. I'm also of the mindset that making a separate game solely for marine animals wouldn't be such a good idea. To have fully-aquatic creatures separate from your established zoo-building game would just peeve off most - if not all - of your customers.

PZ tries to stay realistic as a sim. Many zoos have flying birds, so why does PZ not have any yet? And no zoo has whales etc., in them now, so why do people keep asking for them?!

We already do. I am guessing you mean high flying birds?

This is actually ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ because NO... alowing to players mass production of albinos have no place in realistic modern zoos... also... terrain paint and foliage requerements have almost nothing to do with realistic approach... =)

Simply put, the game can not handle fully aquatic animals and flying birds as zoo habitat animals due to the design of the habitat system and staff interactions.

This. Also, I suspect, given the market for fully aquatic animals (perhaps birds), Frontier might do another game for that. Then there would not be conflicts in presentation (conservation in Planet Zoo); a bit like Disney did with using it's Touchstone Pictures.

Could happen... Especially the Aquarium concept.

What existing birds in PZ actually fly? None that I have noticed. Like many zoos do, their wings must be clipped. So yes, birds that can actually leave the ground. It should be possible now there's the large walkthrough exhibits. Bats fly! Larger walkthroughs would be better though, and ones you can use wider paths in.
