Building:
- (invisible) barriers on paths for guests and staff

- “natural water” as a option at placing water, to create ponds or lakes which are murk, containing (at least indicated and scattered) fishes and where some waterbirds e.g., mallards are landing on now and then
- railway barriers for with path crossing transport ride tracks

- screens to upload own pictures
- heatmap with the traversable area of staff
- heatmap with visible areas for guests
- lower and higher overall speed for trains
- adjustment of the speed for separate parts of the transport ride tracks, to give the guests a better view on special viewing points
- animal sponsorship like in real zoos – higher donation amounts, which are just paid out, as long as the corresponding animal has a overall welfare higher than e.g., 90% (nobody wants to own a sponsorship for an animal that is poorly kept); requires special advertising and is independent of the number of guests at the zoo, but on the other hand it depends on the species and number of animals, cause the animal sponsorship, since the sponsorships are concluded per individual and increase a lot with the attractiveness of the animals (to increase the management-aspect a bit and to afford players a permanent income, even if they have to reduce the numbers of guests caused by performance issues)
- feeding (some) animals with e.g., pellets, carrots od bird seed, which they can buy at feed dispensers and give to (or at least throw at nearby standing) animals; maybe at least at designated places like a mix of feeding platforms and the zoo talk points, where possible inside of walk-in habitats (e.g., Pronghorn Antelope, Peafowls etc.) and elsewhere from outside the fence (e.g., Llamas, Zebras etc.)
- usable playgrounds
- animators (eventually with stage shows)
- Wolves: 1st wolves do not bark… so please no barking wolves anymore… 2nd a black fur variant for the Timberwolves, as they exist in the wild
- Giant Otters: lower minimum depth for diving
- Overall: diving animations for Gharials and Polar Bears
