Marine mammals

I sway in favor of them, specifically because while real zoos have constrains in terms of budgets and laws that prevent them from giving these animals the best care possible, Planet Zoo after all is a videogame where you're able to build these high-budget complexes for animals. I mean we all remember the Polar Bear situation, right? I'd love some challenge like that to provide for them. Regardless though at least we have mods to fill in that niche.
Soooo need marine mammals. Everyone loves them. At least in Asia.
I love marine mammals and I'm from Poland
It's a tender topic because of the controversy brought on by using cetaceans in shows. However, I live about an hour's drive away from SeaWorld Orlando, and in recent years, they've made changes to their shows to be more educational. They explain how the tricks that the animals perform can be used as a form of enrichment or stimulation to replicate behaviors in the wild. It's certainly better than swimming in circles. If that's the case, maybe there's an ethical way to have cetaceans do tricks.
Also, narwhals are incredibly difficult to keep in captivity. I think that it has something to do with their tusks, but you might have to do some research to double-check.
I'd honestly LOVE to have manatees and belugas. I just adore those squishy serotonin-inducers, especially when it comes to a beluga's squeaky high-pitched call and a manatee's overall wholesome nature.

Yup that's right. Narwhals get highly stressed out in captivity and tend to harm themselves, they can only survive a couple months sadly
This conversation has happened over and over again here so no point in re-hashing it.
I also side on the side of adding marine animals including cetaceans because it is a fantasy zoo game. However, if PZ is looking to add marine animals, there are a lot of high appeal marine species to fill up a roster before we get to the "controversial" ones.
So there isn't really a point of even having the conversation unless fishes and other marine animals are being added to the game.
