I got inspired to make this thread because of the discussion about the European pack and about building realistic zoos.
The question is, how many (and which) species of animals are in PZ that are also in your local zoo? How realistically would you be able to build your zoo in the game, animal wise?
For the record, I live in Europe. I live in the capital of my country and our city zoo is the only zoo we have. This list will also include the upcoming animals from the aquatic pack. For the purpose of expanding the selection as far as it can go, I will also include animals that are the same species, but not necessarily the same sub-species (animals that could act as a substitute).
My city zoo holds a selection of parrots in smaller aviaries and a few species of owls, and I think one big species of predatory birds (for the life of me can't remember which one). We also have a terrarium house, but for the purpose of this thread, I'll exclude exhibit animals. We also have a few farm animals which you can pet such as cows, goats, ducks, sheep, and pigs.
Let's have a look at how closely I can build my city zoo in Planet Zoo:
Animals in my city zoo that are also in PZ:
Animals that aren't in PZ, but are in my city zoo:
According to this list which includes only habitat animals, it's about 50/50.
I'm curious to see everyone else's lists. You can be as specific as you want.
