Mammals as Exhibit Animals

The exhibits currently only include reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates, and I would love to see some small mammal representation. Totally against my expectations, one of the most memorable things from my visit to the Bronx Zoo was their Mouse House, and it's sad that we can't build anything like that in PZ. There are a lot of mammals that are just too small to put in a whole habitat but that I would still love to see included in the game. Some may necessitate a larger exhibit size than we currently have, but this is also a common request among players that I'd love to see implemented. Here are a few I'd like to see, feel free to add your suggestions!
  • Cloud rat
  • Desert Hedgehog
  • Echidna
  • Long-tailed chinchilla
  • Sugar glider
  • Golden lion tamarin
  • Naked mole rat
  • Slow loris
  • Bilby
  • Long-eared jerboa
  • Stoat
I'll stop myself there lol

Many of those can be habitat animals to be honest. But I agree with some.
 
If we should get Mammals as Exhibit-Animals, some kind of Tenrec would be interesting. But I think Exhibit Mammals should at least move a little bit more than the Reptiles (maybe even walking trough the Exhibit from Time to time)


Naked mole rat
I would absolutely love them in the Game but maybe they would be a bit hard to properly implement because of the big Colony Size and maybe also because of the eusocial Lifestyle (I don't really know if there are optical Differences between the Queen and the Rest of the Colony like it's the Case with Bees, Ants and Termites. If she looks different it could be really difficult)
 
Agreed - I think exhibit mammals would be an excellent addition, especially for some sort of 'night house' themed dlc - bushbabies, pottos, lorises.
I could see them working in a similar way to the aviaries in JW:E, with a number of (fairly long) looped animations per animal. If this could be combined with the current exhibit system of spawning the animal in a different location each time you visit the exhibit (or, in this case, begin the animation at a different, random point in the cycle), I think that would definitely do the job of adding in a bit of extra colour to them - I wouldn't expect them to have full ai.
