Make juveniles grow realistically

So Planet Zoo is all about education so I think its important to display animal growth in the juvenile stage in a more realistic way. Right now from all Ive seen your animal is non growing through its juvenile stage and it starts to visually grow once it reaches maturity. Thats right, a now born animal looks the same as an animal who is about to mature according to what Ive seen. A new born croc looks the same as a 9 year old one.
Id love to see an actual hatchling size of the crocs and even more so I would love to see the egg itself. All egg laying species should lay eggs in a nest thats accurate for their species. The nest may contain a larger amount of eggs than what hatches since not all eggs will hatch in the wild or captivity and for those who were playing during the beta know they had to nerf the amount for juveniles were being born. Which makes sense. Most of us have played ZT2 and even a game as old as that had a nesting system implemented so I think its a fair enough feature to expect from a game as recent as PZ.
I would love for mammals to be weak and defenseless during their first days or day for whatever makes the most sense in the Planet zoo time scale. Patenting AI and a suited AI for the youngest juveniles.
Exhibit animals could also get some love with actually getting juvenile stages. When our bullfrogs get babies the babies are adults instantly.
If the animals do not have a safe space to give birth at/ suitable area to build nest the animal will miscarry or the baby will die. Egg laying species might even gett eggbound and in need of medical attention. However this is very much wishful thinking and all of the things described could be much simpler.

But in short Id like to see egg laying species lay eggs no matter how simple the system may be.
And I would also like to see juvenile growth simple or advanced. I want to see a difference between last years cubs and the newborns.
 
Gradual growth (juvenile stages etc.) was a promised feature,but is not in the game and nobody knows why.Frontier even dedicated a whole developer journal to that topic.It's the developer journal "scaling".

It was not talked about in said journal. what they said was, I qoute: "Indeed, your animals gradually grow throughout their adult life."
My guess is you misunderstood what has been said in the past and its not in the game because it was never intended. However, I would very much like for it to be part of the game.
