Sea lion and clownfish, ok. Cetaceans, no way.
Retweet.
I would love an aquarium/ Marine expansion and I love the choices, it’s a game after all. The childlike wonder of just seeing cetaceans is never lost on me (neither is player choice and biodiversity) They should definitely however use the opportunity to raise awareness of how to properly care for them (or how they could hypothetically be cared for) and make caring for them more of a challenge or experience in of itself. Just so that we raise awareness to their plight. Similar to how elephants and apes were in a bad place in captivity until people made aware of the changes that needed to occur and they renovated habitats across the board
I assume it will be more likely that we will get the Californian Sealion but that's the cutest Sealion I've ever seen
The Clownfish is absolutely adorable. I would love it to have that one as a Exhibit Animal.
Would also like Bull Shark and Walrus but I assume we won't get many Marine Animals
But hopefully this Time with proper Research instead of how they did it with the last Animal they wanted to be a Challenge
If they would've at least read the AZA Document for them they would've been able to make the Polar Bear harder to keep than other Animals in a realistic Way. So often I want to keep them, but then I change my Mind immediately because of that stupid Decision and I hope they won't believe those Fake-Documentarys about Cetaceans that some People produce for some ReasonYea... they went overboard on the polar bears. I was picturing something like constant switching of enrichment no matter the difficulty and decent sized habitats but not as absurd as the polar bear was done. And those documentaries are the main reason this anti cetacean push is so prevalent. I hope that when it comes to cetaceans in captivity they look at it from a more realistic angle and see that it’s more of an issue of how they are currently treated and how it could be better. For example the Georgia Aquarium and their belugas.Good Zoos and aquariums are important to conservation and they could do better with cetaceans and educate and preserve them for generations to comeI assume it will be more likely that we will get the Californian Sealion but that's the cutest Sealion I've ever seen

Okay so, I honestly highly doubt that we'll be seeing cetaceans in PZ. No matter what stance you take on the captivity thing, they're just far too controversial for Frontier to risk including. With that being said, this is how I would personally do a Marine Pack:
1. California Sea Lion - I've said this many times before, but I'm going to keep saying it until this animal gets into the game. We should've gotten a sea lion in the Aquatic Pack. Now, I like the Australian Sea Lion as a choice, but the California species has been requested a much larger amount of times and is probably the most recognisable species. (Personally, I'd put it in a North America Pack but we're not here to discuss that).
2. Humboldt or African Penguin - Both are highly requested as a second penguin species, would probably fill out the "clone" niche.
3. Sea Otter or Walrus - Just here to fill in a slot. Don't really care all too much about getting either species but I wouldn't complain if we do.
4. West Indian Manatee - This is only if fully-aquatic animals are doable. Manatees can be found in some zoos, and can feel like zoo animals if done right. I'd personally prefer this lots more than cetaceans, but that's just me.
5. Seahorse (idk what species) [Exhibit] - One of the few fish I could see being justified in the current exhibit system really.

I think we need an expansion instead of DLC. To add new tank and small exhibit concepts, and adding 40 new aquatic rosters. Future DLCs afterwards will include some land animals, some aquatic animals.
I agree, but it’s unrealistic with the way frontier handles things
