Animals need to be wild

[medvedzoo]

It would have been amazing to be able to create mixed biomes, where animals interact better with each other and with the environment:

1. Herbivores shall be eating wild grass, fruits, leaves, not just from the feeding stations
2. Carnivores should be hunting herbivores
3. Why mammals don't feed their children? And how come releasing/selling mother from the cub is just ok?
4. General cross-species interactions are missing completely

Zoo Tycoon 2 did allow most of this things and this game would only win from this!

1: The zoo is not always on the same spot as where the animals live in the wild, and eating strange grasses may get them sick.
2: It will scare the visitors away and is very expensive.
3: Maybe that is a good suggestion.
4: Not all species can get along, but many species enrich each other and can be placed together in the same habitats. Like giraffes, zebras and antelopes for instance.

Zoo Tycoon had many other flaws. Not getting into that, but no game is ever perfect.

Thanks for the feedback, I guess the economic part of the game is not the one that makes most fun to me

I think, for some species there could be a social happiness penalty if a young animal is without their mother for a certain time.
