So, recently I noticed (from the points that many made) that there are 2 huge issues that need to be fixed:
Small exhibits
Biomes (link to one thread, but there are more:
forums.frontier.co.uk
For the small exhibits, the sizes aren't bad for some of them (like the iguanas and the boa and anaconda), but for the tiny bugs/insects/spiders and the tiny frogs and the small lizards/snakes, they are humongous, like another world for them (plus, filling up one of those with only 2 Amazonian centipedes looks really weird). Lots of people have asked for new sizes, mostly smaller sizes, but occasionally a bigger size. Also, having them more customizable would be great. Of course, if the engine can't handle it or the devs simply cannot add it for some reason, then I guess that's understandable.
In the case for biomes, there are some that are missing, specifically wetlands (which deltas, flooded areas, maybe even rivers/lakes to some extent), scrubland (which will be scrubland [duh] and arid areas. Basically a more lush desert). Also, it's been suggested by @Bearcat9948 that we need to have both fresh- and saltwater. At the very least, give us the option to add/remove salinity from bodies of water; not only will that make animal needs more realistic, but it'll add another depth to maintaining a healthy ecosystem for the animal, adding more to the challenge instead of simply "place animal and these plants and this amount of terrain"
I'm gonna imitate @Bearcat9948 and tag the community managers so that they hopefully see this and pass it on to the devs: @Tim Smith @Eltanin Casciani @Francesca Falcini @Jens Erik

Map of the entire roster by (approximate) animal distribution
I hope a biome overhaul is not out of the question. I'm not saying we need micro biomes like temperate rainforest or tropical dry forest etc. But wetland, scrub, alpine and a distinct saltwater biome are 100% needed Isn't alpine close enough to Taiga?
