@markun I’ll definitely have to look into getting the book. It looks amazing I love nature books and have many I’ve collected over the years but haven’t seen to many books based on a actual zoo. I wish more zoos would follow through with this. I’ve seen several pics on google and the book looks awesome.
Winter 2023 DLC Speculation
- Thread starter Leaf Productions
- Start date
This makes me think, I'd love some combined habitats between Pygmy goats and the wild ass. If we get them they probably have interspecies enrichment with all the savahah hoofstock which wouod be cool.
Also, since I've been in hospital and missed the entire domestics discussion. Just wanna input I'd love a petting zoo pack. Preferably for spring next year.
Don’t you just love it when you peek through an off path fence and see an up close view of an animal when everyone else just thinks your clueless looking at a fence?
No clue what you’re talking about but yes that does sound cool
Oh sorry I just jumped in the conversation lol
Thank you for your reply! I agree with many of your points, especially regarding modern industrial farming (which I hate by the way) and inbreeding. The current situation is not the animals' fault, though, it's the humans' fault.
It doesn't make the animals "worse" than their wild counterparts. Also in some cases, all we have left is the domestic variant. So in many regions of Europe, if you want to fill the ecological niche of Aurochs, you can only use domestic cattle for this. Some wildlife parks use Highland Cattle or Heck cattle for this purpose.
I agree that human benefit is the base concept of domestication as a whole, but to say there is only that is maybe a bit of black-and-white thinking. I see it as more nuanced than that. It's not always only about profit and not always a purely one-sided relationship. It really depends on the species, region, time in history, and broader context.
Additionally, as already mentioned in this thread, we had a great variety of local breeds before we got the industrial-type, super-efficient modern livestock types. Many of the old local breeds are nearing extinction so keeping them in zoos and saving them makes sense.
But I also see your point about wanting many of the missing wild animals first before any domestic DLC. Personally, I would be equally happy about a good domestic set as with a nice wild animals set but I see it only as a matter of preference.
Sorry if this is redundant but which DLC would the Turquoise Monitor Lizard be most suitable in?

Turquoise monitor - Wikipedia
It fits into a big DLC, in which we'll get King Cobras, radiant tortoises, spotted savelas and more. The most important thing is that the display case system will be upgraded, instead of only 4✘4✘4, there will be 4✘8✘4, 4✘12✘4, 8✘8✘4 and other different modular display case system. They're big enough to hold the big box animals.

That would be wonderful to have an exhibit system overhaul, it's probably at the top of my non-animal list. But I am doubtful we'll get it at this point.
Close enough of 300 pages guys!
Tropical pack would have been the ideal pack, but we got the watermonitor instead.Sorry if this is redundant but which DLC would the Turquoise Monitor Lizard be most suitable in?

So i guess another Rainforest or island themed pack?
But im not really counting on it. If we get more monitors there are better and more well known options imo
Willife park 2 has a farm pack
10 species of domestic Animals. Its called ,,Wildlife Park 2 - Farm World‘‘
there will be more disputes not less
I would also argue that the kangaroo could be a petting zoo animal but still thats only 2
it is a huge risk but we are viewing it very one sided so it is still possible because we may just be a loud minority and a petting zoo pack will generate alot of noise and attention and could bring alot of excited people mainly casual players.
yeah like i can recognise that i would despise a domestics pack but i still think it is needed to build many starter zoos.
for some people it is easier to go to a zoo then a farm because of distance you can generally find a zoo in a city but for some people farms are hours away so your argument just go to a farm is meaningless. To add onto this for city kids a goat and cow are just as unheard of as many of the many ungulates we have in planet zoo comparing farm animals to lions is not the most accurate they are more like the zebra something you dont go to the zoo for but once there would go out of your way to see.
I agree they are not the stars of the zoo and that children are their main audience but zoos especially modern zoos are built for children a zoos whole purpose is to educate and entertain children.
nobody goes to a zoo just for goats but more than half the animals in a zoo noboby goes specifically for they casual only go for the headliners like the lion or elephant and the zoo nerds go for what they havent seen.
Also some people dont have the luxury of going to different zoos sometimes there is only one zoo within multiple hours travel so your whole they would go to different zoos idea is a bit flat.
The biggest thing that people are missing from the argument is that zoos have to start somewhere they dont just build reputation out of nowhere and many zoos start out with a large amount of domestic animals usually the more interesting breeds because that is all they can afford or access.
Yeah people forget that casual players have very very different opinions to us
no it was the roster people were complaining the animal choice wasnt zoo enough because raccoons eat their trash
yeah this same reason people are so against domestics they see them all the time so they dont associate them with a zoo
zoo tycoon xbox shouldnt be compared to anything it didnt even have half the basics like zebra or gorilla. Also if we are comparing rosters javan rhino when its in all three zoo tycoon games the only animal in all three not to be in planet zoo.
If the idea of a petting zoo-themed DLC is so unpopular then why are you so worried about it? You're carrying on as though you're on a mission to hold back the tide. If it's as unpopular as you think it is, then you needn't bother.
Edit: Plus we have the llama, a literal petting zoo animal, and it actually is a very popular species.
That's still only 1. The llama is literally a barnyard animal. It's a selectively-bred domestic species, same as the domestic cow, sheep, chicken, pig, horse, whatever. People here act like it's in someway different but it's not. It's a barnyard animal.
American Black Bear, Otter, Or White tailed Deer
Please tell me why you think White Tailed Deer is essential
