Guests won't donate to certain animals

[Perfectly Valid School of Magic]

I'm doing the Nevada lake zoo mission, and I have two habitats ((wolf, and tapir)) and two exhibits ((rattlesnake and scorpion)). The guests only ever donate to the wolf exhibit, even at donation bins right next to the other exhibits. Why are they doing this, and how can I get them to donate to the animal they just looked at? I have research on them.

Can your visitors see the animal clearly? Have you posted information, both visual and audio?
If the collection box is in the middle, perhaps people there pay for both species?

Yes, I've looked at the animals and the guests say stuff like "That's what I like to see: A happy, healthy [animal species]!" There's boards AND audio, and the habitats are...not SUPER far but they're not like, directly next to each other. The actual exhibits (the small ones) are on the other side of the pathway from the wolves, while the tapir is farther down the path.

One thing to note is that scenario has the setting for donations and education set to be more difficult. Try to ensure that guests are well educated and happy but know it can take a while.

oh so it's something explicit to the challenge and not just a bug/me not being optimal?

To a certain degree yes. But that doesn't mean there is no flaw in the game causing this, It's been a while since I played that scenario.
I do recall that the guest happiness seemed to be the key but I'm sure there are a few other factors involved that required a well managed zoo.

I've never had this problem before with other zoos, even ones with habitats close together.

Hi ! Someone can explain me how is calculate the vegetal diversity ? I'm stuck at 21% and i'm supposed to be at 30%... I put every biom in each habitat. i don't know what to do more.
