llama is the only one I recall, and even then, alpaca would be a more reasonable choice

Llamas are not the friendliest of animals, some can be, but they are used as guard animals by some farmers. Alpacas are way friendlier which is why petting zoos use them.
It also depends on whether we are talking about petting while being in the same space as the animal or with a barrier between you and the animal.
In zoos you are typically allowed to walk in with the goats but not the horses but you can touch both of them.
I don't imagine we would end up with animations for both inside habitat interactions and for interactions with a fence between guests and animals.

I see the first most likely but i prefer the second because it would be cool if animals that are not safe for a petting zoo also interact with guests through a glass window or something.
Guest: * pets llama through brick wall *
I dont think so, I wish.
You know maybe I'll start one. Does anyone think that would be useful?
At Zootierliste you can Rank them (Sure only for animals hold in Zoos registered by this Site)
And it is only accessible in the German version of the site, last time I checked
Thanks
Google's auto translate works great for things like that. I've accessed japan's very outdated website for animal holdings before.
I paid just enough attention in German-classes in school to navigate through Zootierliste
So for everyone interested (or to lazy to translate) the top 20 most common species in the EAZA are:
1. African dwarf goat
2. Indian peafowl
3. European fallow deer
4. Domestic guinea pig (all breeds)
5. Domestic rabbit (all breeds)
6. Budgerigars (all morphs)
7. Alpaka
8. Domestic donkey (all breeds)
9. Emu
10. Domestic chicken (all breeds)
11. Meerkat
12. Shetland pony
13. Red necked wallaby
14. Llama

On the german version of zootierliste is one for the EAZA.
Standard is 100 but you can adjust that number to as many species as the sote registerd
Definetly alot of expected faces. basicly the only one that surprised me was the pheasant.
Funfact thats not the true number.
This is only for the wild form there are even more domestic variants not included in that number
If i allready tease you all like this, there are 124 registerd holdings of domestic breeds of golden pheasent, so adding that to the 582 of the wild form we get 706 EAZA holdings and a comfortable 7. Places on the total ranking
I could imagine new barrier attachment (like the walkthrough gate or dome enterance).
Interactive barrier - railing
Certain animals (llamas, fallow deer, hypothetical goats) would come to the railing and wait for head pats.
Interactive barrier - glass
More dangerous animals (big cats, apes) would come to the glass and paw at it.
I would activly hate that. The glass? Okay i guess fine but really barriers that arnt null really do feel like babys training wheel from the moment you actually grasp the game. They are ugly, unflexible and i just really hate the idear of any interaction being locked to pretty much a single specific piece of scenery, especally when the glass stuff should easily work with all glass pieces that stand straight so locking it to an ugly ass barrier type really does not sit right with me
Honestly after seeing how huge the entrance to the dome is, I don’t know if I want anymore additions to the barrier system.
