Horrible graphics

High or ultra, it doesn't matter. Water, shadows, sunlight, and reflections look magnificent, but the actual animals look like elephant poop. Even after the update...

there are huge differences. Tigers look amazing, Bisons blurry and Buffalos' animation is worse than in Beta. The latter seem to love Moonwalking in my zoo.
 
I don't get it, since this is the best looking game in it's genre ever created. Sure if you compare it to an FPS or RPG or any sort of open world game... But that's like saying oranges aren't as yellow as bananas.
With my background in graphic design I can tell you honestly that those animals look really, really well compared to other/older zoo games and for today standards. We can't expect it will look photorealistic in games like this, if it would you probably couldn't even get 1 guest in your park or build 2 buildings because your GPU just melted.
To get to the point, any game that has any kind of building mode in it will eventually not look as good as any game that doesn't just because today technolegy can't handle it, unless you have 100K $ computer to run games on.. even a 10K $ wouldn't cut it.

I'm certainly not willing to sacrafice performance to get that small hair look a bit more realistic. Oh and there also is the part that not everyone has high end computers, so they dial back on graphic & performance needs a bit for marketing purpose.

Last but not least, if you think it's so bad, try and impress everyone to make an animal yourself that looks better...

No, I don't think you understand. I've seen amazing screenshots and beautiful animals. I mean on my game they look bad.
 
Can you send a Picture. I want to know if they look like the Animals in my Zoo or different because I think at least in my Zoo they look good

I'm sorry for that misunderstanding.

To be able to help out and mayby fix your graphic issues, some more information might be handy, for example what are your system specs?
Because it could be either you don't meet the minimum/recommended requirements with your hardware or your (gpu) drivers aren't up to date or anything else related to such issue, like certain programs that overide certain GPU settings etc.

Also some screenshots couldn't hurt, to compare or see what kind of issue it might be.
 
Some people seem to get a bug that lowers their graphics. I had one graphics glitch with baby elephants but overall good. I hope you are able to get this issue resolved soon! If all of my animals looked bad I'd be hugely bummed by the game.
 
My zoo has been ramping up and ive been ticking back my graphics to cut back on the lag caused by thousands of guests, but even at comparatively medium to low settings my animals all still look pretty good? They looked great at everything on High.
