Winter 2023 DLC Speculation

Some quotes from those sources:
''The educator can also bring animal items for the visitors to touch (such as horns or skins) or live animals (spiders, insects, domesticated animals)''

''Basic and applied research programmes in zoos or aquariums can embrace a remarkably large number of topics including: animal care, ageing, assisted reproduction, behaviour, bioinformatics, 11 bio-materials or ‘gene’ banking, biotechnology, contraception, database management, diet, disease, DNA analysis, domestication, environmental enrichment, husbandry, identification, life histories, low temperature biology (cryobiology), parasites, population analysis, reproduction, studbooks, human behaviour, visitor studies and wildlife crime''

''Ex situ conservation centres such as arboreta, aquariums, botanic gardens, seed banks, microbial collections, field gene banks, forest nurseries, propagation units, tissue and cell cultures, zoological gardens and museums can help conserve stocks of both wild and domesticated animals, plants, fungi and micro-organisms but are less able to maintain their populations. …''

Clearly, EAZA sees some value in domestic animals.

And I did not find this quote referred to before:
"ZOO facilities should focus on the protection of species at risk of extinction, and such species do not include, for example, farm animals."
I can find this in English right now but I will come back to you with that specific fragment soon. Already wrote to EAZA about it.

I am not against domestics at all. Just prefer wild and endangered species.
 
Of those couple petting zoo animals 1 is a stand in and the other 2 are not in petting zoos like at all.
Where on earth in the world are you from where llamas aren't a petting zoo animal? They're in literally every petting zoo in this country. They are 100% a petting zoo animal.

It still brings the grand total to only one, but if a llama isn't a petting zoo animal then there's no such thing.
 
I think we need at least one typical petting Zoo animal. But, when we get sometimes a real Petting Zoo pack, or a domestics pack, the animals dont have to be the typical SPECIES. In fact, most of the species are endangered.
that would be some endangered donestics I could See in the Garme

My previous opposition to farm dlc did not mean that I opposed the emergence of domesticated animals such as dromedaries and llamas. The so-called farm DLC animals that I can accept are "domesticated animals that have domestication significance and are domesticated into a certain population by humans, and also have a certain number of populations in the wild." This can also be called domestication DLC+some farm building settings.I cannot accept the appearance of pure farm animals
 
If too many people really want farm animals to appear, please look forward to the Planet Farm.:)
...that's not the point. I can play farming simulator at any moment If I wish to play an actual farming game but I still need to build a petting zoo in planet zoo with all the other wild animals. It's sort of saying please look forward to planet aviary because birds should have their own game instead of being integrated into one.
 
Yes, I expect it to appear until it becomes the worst selling DLC

I acknowledge that this part of the farm is an important component of the zoo, and I also thank everyone for their scientific popularization. But I don't think this is important for PZ
 
Now, only when the sales and reputation of the farm's DLC can be second only to the aquatic pack, can I recognize its importance. Since so many people want it, then use practical actions to prove it.
 
Okay so i dare you all, tell me whats wrong with this imo rather realistic pack:
Vitnamese Pot bellied, an endangerd pig breed from vietnam that is the most common specific breed of pig currently held in zoos and visually unique by being as tall as the peccary but much longer and fatter with their signature pot belly.
1700305389591.jpeg


Flemish Giants, the largest and most common specific breed of rabbits kept in the EAZA, originating from belgium, the neatherlands and western germany, with the former commonly being brown and the germans being white with black spots. They are compareable in size to a small to medium sized dog and are known for their calm, patient and docile nature, making them optimal for petting zoos, which is one of the reasons why they are so far spread in them.
1700305681562.jpeg

1700305855321.jpeg

African Dwarf Goat, the most common zoo animal, are a breed complex from western and central africa that comes in all kinds of colors and patterns and hold together by one defining trait, having the genetic disorder Achondroplasia which drasticly shortens the limbs and slightly increases head size.
Dont worry they dont suffer from it and most likly it was an adaptation to the mountainous forests and scrublands they reside in in africa, where they are still the most important lifestock for most of the population.
1700305941983.jpeg

Guinea Pigs, also extremly common in zoos, would work well together with the Lama for andean themed areas or would just liven up any area youd put them in.
They are cute, small and social, enabling them to be fantastic for filler habitats in especally low budget zoos, aswell as many different kinds of displays, be it natural grassy ones, miniature citys, little mountain ranges or something similar to most prariedog displays with the added bonus of being walkthrough compatibel.
1700306135793.jpeg


Budgies are a no brainer. Third most held pet in the world, they are super common in zoos and households alike and are iconic for australian fauna, being a great choice to be one of the first birds. They also come in many different color combinations spicing them up significantly
1700306500811.jpeg


So 5 different animals, none from an overdone group, 5 different continents, 2 new and usefull rodent rigs and one of the few likly to be the first bird in the game.
If anybody has any issues with the pack, id love to hear, not to mention that it would most likly bring extremly usefull scenery aswell

As someone who is not looking forward to a petting zoo pack, this would be pretty cool.
 
I wouldn't like a domestics pack, sorry 😅.
A domestic animal can't be a priority when we had a giant amount of more interesting wild animals. I can't be more interested in a goat or a pig than a rhinoceros or an eagle.
Great example when we got no rhino worth to be included left (and allready have 3 anyways) and flying birds arnt anywhere close to be guranteed rn even if i picked one myself.
