Ooh A chinchilla would be great! Since our local zoo has Guinea pigs in their petting area, there's where I went with that idea. Chinchillas are a little more exotic so I do like that idea.
Fall DLC 2023 Speculation

I agree that a full domestic pack would not be the best idea. A mix of wild and domestic animals is probably the way to go, so there is something for everyone. Also semi-domesticated animals like guineafowl or animals that can work as both like red jungle fowl would also be a good fit.Sorry to Interrupt your enthusiasm but I really do not hope for a Pack completely consisting of domesticated animals. What would be a fine thing something Like playground with more guest Interactions and Alpaca or Dwarf Goat plus some sweeter and smaller wild animals. But Please Not a domestic Pack (own opinion). So now you can Go Back again to your enthusiasm for such a pack
Would you guys rather have the Petting zoo theme be an animal pack or scenery pack?
Originally i was more on the side of scenery, because i liked the idea of haybales, feeders and so on but the more i think about it the more im warming up to the idea of an animal pack, especially if that means there is room to also include a duck, mara, squirrel monkey.
I mean there are wild guinea pig out there, but idk if those are keept in zoos let alone petting zoo areas
Scenery pack. I like the idea but not enough to pad it out with an additional 3 animals. Also not enough to take an animal pack away from something else. Not to mention definitely wanting some farm-type scenery to go along with it.
LOL i was planning to go there, I am not from Montreal, is there any easy way to get there?

The "Domestics" idea would be a cool, fun pack but I definitely wouldn't want it in favor of getting another two packs of wild animals. This is more of a "if we're gonna get DLC for a while" thing for me. If that makes sense.
And I'd really only want it if they stuck to species that are relatively rare or special in some way (e.g., I wouldn't want a regular ol' pink pig or a mustang for the horse).
They have guinea pigs in a spot where people can just walk in/around them? Or can they just reach over and pet them? The former sounds a little concerning to me. Hah. But if it works, it works I guess...
I would only want this if it were a scenery pack. I'm honestly more into the scenery than the animals for this particular theme, TBH. Haha.
It's more a reaching over and petting them. I share your concerns if everyone was just able to walk among them, you'd have to be very careful where you step!
From that same post, I agree with your point about wanting this type of pack only if we get a good bit more content. There's no way I'd want this if we have just two packs left. I don't even know if I'd want this if we have four more packs left. Six more packs, sure I'd be fine with it.
The African dwarf goat will serve to fill the nessecary African ungulate spot.
Here’s my ideas for a petting zoo scenery pack and animal pack, because it could get us a lot of things we have wanted for a while.
Animals:
1. Anglo-Nubian Goat (substitute: Nigerian Dwarf Goat)
2. Dairy Shorthorn Cow (substitute: Belted Galloway)
3. Chincoteague Pony (substitute: Shetland Pony)
4. Polypay Sheep (substitute: Merino Sheep)
5. Rhode Island Red Chicken (substitute: Guinea fowl)
(the rest of the animals from here would be in the animal-only pack)
6. Checkered Giant Rabbit (substitute: American Rabbit)
7. Pot-bellied pig (substitute: Danish Protest Pig)
8. Yak (substitute: Ankole/Watusi Cattle)
Scenery:
Farm theme, probably with some kind of barn building kit and maybe shingled walls and individual shingle beams for houses.
Greenhouse building set
Tractor, Windmill, and porch Swing props, as well as other smaller props such as nesting boxes for fowl and jumps for horses.
New habitat items; being standing feeding stations for herbivores, a farm-like metal trough for food and water, and feeding stations for fowl.

How about a new type of exhibit that would suit it: the Interactive Exhibit. It could be for smaller animals that could be touched or handled by guests, and it could even have a staff member keeping an eye on it. It could feature guinea pigs, small reptiles, or a touch tank for sea creatures.
Replace the Yak and Pony with a Duck/ Goose and Barn Owl and I would love this pack.
Oh my gosh, the Pot Belllied Pig. Perfect suggestion for this. It would be interesting to get a 4th equid and suidae representatives at the same time, since an equid like the Shetland or Chincoteague Pony would be the only animal I'd feel needs to be in this type of pack.
Thanks! This is my first time doing this kind of thing so I tried to get the best kind of animals for the theme! Some were personal opinion though lol. The Chincoteage Pony was mentioned on the radio this morning so that’s why I listed it as it was already in my head and I chose the Rhode Island Red Chicken because I’m in Massachusetts and go to Rhode Island pretty frequently, also a few PZ YouTubers live there. Nicholas Lionrider I’m certain about and I know that Leaf lives somewhere in New England as well, I’m not sure exactly where though.
All they'd need is a new skin for the regular exhibit, really. One that gives it a mesh exterior and a cutesy interior for pets like guinea pigs and chinchillas or even domestic rats.
In any case I'm not fussed on this sort of idea. I'm fine with a Petting Zoo/Children's Zoo/Barnyard Pack (if only so the stupid llama has some company), but the exhibit animal could just about be anything. Red-eared turtles are common pets, for example, or they could utilise the WE for cockatiels or budgies or something (or, if the theme is "interaction", rainbow lorikeets, which are very commonly given feeding events in zoos).
Just wanted put this idea out there. Wouldn't be for the next pack but for one next year or something. It covers a lot bases so I thought I should bring it up. Yes I know the name dosent sound the best but I can't think of anything better.
Great Plains animal pack:
Patagonian mara
Argentinian tegu
Greater rhea
Markor
Grey Plains langur
Secretary bird
Honey badger or Banded mongoose
3 grassland hummingbird species

That's a good line up! I did not know that Markhor was in plains as well, I thought it was mostly just mountains.
I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure it's found on the edge of the Indian grasslands. I kinda went for a mix of savanhah, india and patagonia so that we don't need a seperate pack for each.
It would be perfect for Scenery pack in my opinion.
Okay, If we should get 5 years of further content I will be perhaps enthusiastic for a domestica Pack, too
. Perhaps a bit exaggerated but I Just prefer a Lot of wild animals more than domestic ones.
