Equine additions?.../Petting Zoo types

[Purple_Possum]

Equine! (Ignore the petting zoo bit, I didn't realise how much that was already talked about)....
Would anybody else like some more equine additions?
Such as-

• one of the various native moorland ponies from Europe - fell pony, exmoor pony, mountain pony, forest pony, Shetland pony etc..
• Or one of the Wild A** species (it blanked out the name ), there are so many species from different regions to choose from.
• Or maybe the American Mustang or the carmargue horses of France. Or various donkey breeds.

I know there is a fine line here between species/breed/wild/feral which isn't particularly consistent with planet zoo, but it would be really cool to have more native breed equine herds.

I say yes to all!
I’d love to see at least one time of each category you mentioned, one wild and one domestic for each!
The mustang being my absolute favorite of them all

 

[peafowl]

I wouldn't be crazy about domestic breeds but an onager or grevys zebra, big yes

 

[synthetase]

YES!! One more would be good. (I'd be good with many more, but non-mammals such as birds are severely underrepresented so I don't see it happening)
In order of personal priority
Wild Donkey, I personally like the Asiatic, because its mentioned in the Bible! Either would be great though because then we'd have all three main types of equine!
Grevy's Zebra, the second most common zoo species.
Mustang, for the color variations and it makes me think of a great movie we saw years ago about freedom!
All the equines bring up the image of freedom to me. In the Bible wild donkeys are specifically noted for it.

I want all kind of donkeys so much. They are adorable and live in most zoos I visited.

As I am personally not a big fan of Petting Zoo animals within the game (I am the opinion that there is always a good choice of wild species for every domestic one but that is only my Personal view) my Most wished equine is the Somali Wild Donkey. Then we would have a Zebra, a Horse and a Donkey within the Game.

For Petting Zoo: Shetland Pony or a Donkey
For Wild animal - Persian Onager or Somali Wild...

The Hot Take pick - Mustangs. I know they'd be controversial but I do feel like they'd be a good pick honestly.

There is no replacement for the Highland cattle. I honestly think they look cool enough to warrant a spot though.

 

[nutrit]

Huge yes but for wild donkey - Somali wild donkey

I just realized the forum now needs another Hot Take mascot. Could it be an equine?

I think Shetland pony is a pretty hot take.

 

[SallinDaemon]

Shetland ponies would be fun, they're so ubiquitous, but if I could only pick one domestic equine, then there's this one donkey breed I've seen at a zoo before that really interested me. The Poitou donkey, which is a large breed originating in France that has this incredible shaggy and almost dreadlock-like coat:

Certainly wouldn't say no to the Somali wild donkey, though!

 

[ElectricMonk]

Wild donkey / a__: yes
Another zebra: no
Domestic / feral horse: hell no

It's like the Highland cattle of the equine family lol.

It is okay to want it. But I prefer the Yak. As I have written Personal preference.

ooo, I got one; Texas Longhorn

-Was semi-feral, almost went extinct until conservation efforts started, so we have a conservancy message
-Cool and distinct looking
-Good choice for a domestic animal pack that isn't a petting zoo pack

Saying domestic is enough of a hot take as it is #Domesticsfor2023

As a mascot I choose my fellow neighbours - the Highland cow, a far better option than a yak or musk ox

 

[Criosdan]

Actually, I don't need the possibility of petting the animals. But I think domestic animals would be great. There are so many fascinating and endangered races. And most zoos, I know have at least a small part that shows these animals.

Our of interest, why do you consider it a better option?

Regarding petting zoos, the spring DLC old have been a perfect time for this. So I don't think it's really likely to get such a pack in the future (of which I wasn't really keen anyway).

I can pet them every day that's why
