Mixed enclosures

[Doogerie]

can we have mixed enclosures Like in Marwell where they have birds a sloth and some adrabel littel monkys in the same enclosur or like the old windsor safari park butterfly house with Crocodiles can we do that?

I hope so

I hope so too! Think of the African Serengeti type enclosure you can build. My local zoo has a set up like this where zebras, giraffes and other animals all roam together to really create a nice immersive experience

I really hope so too. If the game is suppose to be hyper real-like of real-life zoos. Then I have high hopes for mixed species exhibits. I learned a while back that mixed-species exhibits are not only interesting but also provides enrichment and natural animal behaviors and is just overall really good for the animals. (this being depends on what species the zoo mixes with) so it makes the exhibit more natural and thus with this being said I do have a really high hope for mixed species exhibits.

Definitely hope to see mixed enclosures being a thing! Having a variety of species co-existing in harmony is great.

tweakers – Google translated, link is to first page of 4 page article had this to say:

For example, zebras and elephants like to live with other animals around them, but other animal species prefer to live alone. This does not necessarily mean that they have to be alone in their living environment, but that they must have sufficient space to isolate themselves from the rest.

Most real life zoos have mixed exhibits, so I don't see why you couldn't do it in Planet zoo, since they are trying to simulate a real zoo and other realistic attributes like genes and personalities.
