DLC18 discussion and predictions

Honestly all this talk about ungulates just makes me want to highlight ones I would be a big fan of. I just have ungulate fatigue, and that’s mostly to getting similar sized animals/ animals that fill the same role over and over again!

So let’s get this party started!
  • Hyrax and Klipspringer. Both of these will fill a cool niche of being a small and “climbing” ungulate unique to a specific African habitat. They are both visually distinct from what we have in game, and as I stated represent a type of habitat that we don’t really have representation for.
  • Peere David’s deer, and muntjac. Both are great deers, with the muntjac being a great small deer. I prefer the Peere David, the Bronx Zoo has an awesome habitat for them. With a large water area at the center, the deer were just chilling in the water and I caught video of one rolling in the mud! Not to mention it being an endangered species and having an amazing conservation story ties into the themes of the game very well.
  • Chevrotain. Like the hyrax, this small deer species will be in a class of its own being so unique from other animals in its family. I also love tropical houses, and guess where you can find this guy at the Bronx Zoo?
  • Guar. PZ does have a good amount of bovids, but I think it should be noted this is the biggest bovid in the world. Very cool Indian animal representation.
  • Musk ok. We have a lot of mountain style caprines, how about one that’s a remnant from the ice age? Very cool animal, and if you make a northern zoo placing them on the opposite side of a wolf habitat would be super cool.

This is the second time in a week that someone in this forum called a afrotheria a ungulate, interesting.
 
This makes me wonder how they could improve the challenge mode. Like it would be cool if you started the zoo having access to only 1 or 2 star animals then as you improve the zoo you unlock new animals to use similar to the Xbox zoo game I believe.
I think giving a more realistic spin to collection growth would be intersting aswell.
Like you start out having only access to more lowkey/low budget animals, animals you see at very small or private facilities like meerkats, marmosets or alpacas. When you prove yourself so to speak at management and husbandry you get access to level 2 animals like idk camel and rhea maybe, after that you get to level 3 for cheetah and penguin, and slowly work your way up to the high tiers like great apes, elephants and pandas for example

Well that would require Planet Zoo to have a deeper management system. I agree though, playing Zoo Tycoon and getting the satisfaction of unlocking “harder” animals was awesome!

That would be fun. It would make me play some other mode besides sandbox.
 
Whats the appeal with the waterbuck out of all antelope?
I honestly just like it because it looks beautiful, it would fit amongst our current African hoofstock roster, and I like building wetlands type enclosures. Sure it doesn't add that much but same can be said about like half the animals we got in 2023.

Hm, I don't know man. This kind of looks like a Latin America pack with just a Tayra, and where is the Scarlet Ibis/Roseate Spoonbill or any Bird dude!!!!..
