What do you mean?That doesn't even make sense to begin with. ;p

Because even if they go extinct you probably can still see them in zoo's around the worldWhat do you mean?
I don't consider species extinct if they still exist in zoos. (Only extinct in the wild.)Because even if they go extinct you probably can still see them in zoo's around the world
Yes, totally agree on this one.Most species go extinct because of humans, extinction in those cases can not be called "normal", if you ask me.
I'd love to see a DLC pack about extinct animals. I just wonder how they'd be able to make them as lifelike as the current living animals? Would they just reuse animations from modern big cats on prehistoric big cats? Would Mammoths and Woolly Rhino's just be reskinned versions of their modern counterparts? For the animals we are getting now, the devs were able to study the real life counterpart and ask zookeepers who worked with them every day about their behaviors, diet, habitat, etc. They can't really do that with extinct animals. They'd likely be limited animals that have enough of this information documented that they could theoretically make them as close to what their real life counterpart would have been like, and I don't think that leaves many options. As much I'd enjoy a pack like this, unless they find a way around these limitations, the style they're going for with this game doesn't seem to support this type of content.
Actually, they can. There are more than a few paleontologists who study the behavior of dinosaurs based on their remains and environment (and they are always happy to talk about their work). It isn't just down to comparing them to contemporary animals with physiological similarities. Furthermore, Zoo Planet's emphasis on education would go hand-in-hand with a dinosaur expansion pack because there are plenty of misconceptions about them. For example, the tyrannosaurus rex could not roar in real life and velociraptors were not human-sized theropods but were in fact quite small ones.
I know people say that players who wants dinosaurs in Planet Zoo should just go to Jurassic World Evolution because that game already has them. The problem is that while I love JWE, it's a game that is based on the Jurassic Park franchise and that means it isn't allowed to divert from the staples of that franchise. JWE players are never going to see feathered raptors, baby dinosaurs, shelters or enrichment tools. Jurassic Park is about creating a park and trying to contain the animals inside. That is the core of the franchise and the core of JWE's gameplay. I mean, the game encourages you to take missions where you have to create dinosaurs and have them fight to the death and in the DLC, you straight-up have to commit animal abuse to advance including by creating animals for the sole purpose of having predators kill them. They don't even have shelters to shield them from rains or storms. There's a world of difference between what Planet Zoo wants to be about and what Jurassic World Evolution is about.
That's why it would be so wonderful to see a game where the dinosaurs are treated like any other animal in a zoo would be: with dignity, respect and care. They'd would be used to educate people and to further what we know about their behavior. They would have toys to stimulate their minds and shelters to shield them from the rain.
I don't want a tyrannosaurus rex in Planet Zoo so I can unleash it on the guests or watch it devour a helpless giraffe. I want a tyrannosaurus rex in Planet Zoo so I can watch a tyrannosaurus rex play with a tractor tire or play with its young. That would be so awesome!
JWE is the exact reason why you are not getting a T-rex in Planet Zoo. So that is your best bet at being able to play with dino's.
Even though I don't want dinosaurs, I just have to agree with your post @Zoic E Meta

I would'nt like at all to have extinct animals in Planet Zoo. The best goal of this game is the reality and if I'll go in real zoo, I won't find a dodo, a Recreate extinct animals is not one of these, as even conservation refers only to the endangered (but living) species.

Even more important is that modern zoos have three goals: research, education, conservation. Recreate extinct animals is not one of these, as even conservation refers only to the endangered (but living) species.
It would be interesting to have extinct Animals not only just to have them in the Park, but also to help Scientists learn more about them and to release Animals that where wiped out by Humans back to the Wild. If there will be this kind of Expansion, I think there would be no possibility to release Dinosaurs back to the Wild because the Introduction of new Species to a Ecosystem can cause big harm to the Ecosystem
