Something that also really helped was activly thinking about the whys. Why is this here, why does the zoo hold these animals, how would they do that, etc etc. That way i slowly pieced together a lore around my zoo, which not only gives me a stronger connection to it, but also gives me cool new idears, that i wouldnt have gotten otherwise, for example wouldnt it make sense if the nyala habitat hat a seperated breeding/male enclosure, as it was inhabitated by pere davids deer before, which are known for having some of the most brutal fights of all deers during rutting. Did you know, that they stand up on their hind legs and kick after each other in addition to trying to stab each other with their antlers?
+ i have seen in multiple time with bongo enclosures, so they propaply are also up to some brutal shenanigans.
For ingame purposses, such a habitat is worthless, but it was fun and unique and made my zoo feel more like a zoo, something that i feel like is one of the most important things in this game, making your zoos actually feel like a zoo and not just an assortment of scatterd habitats.
