I suggest that the developer team add more animations that can be little actions and emotes that animals can do. Some animals are really lacking in this, such as the plains zebra, ungulates in general, and the spotted hyena. Just little things such as horned animals rubbing their horns against trees and into the ground or rolling over would make watching our animals a bit more interesting. Examples:

More emotes/actions for certain animals

Personally don't think they spend that much attention to the current animal roster (excluding the coat variations for this argument)
They increase the social interactions a couple of times but that's it. And fix when it's doesn't work properly.
Hopefully when some new animals arrive and have new animations that would work for "older" animals, they include those for them as well
Or maybe they already did but I didn't notice it

I also would like to see more social interactions for the spotted hyena as right now they are a bit plain and behave too generic for an animal as socially complex as a hyena. For example, submissive crouching and pinning ears and dominant head lifting and tail raising like in this video:

. This behavior is prevalent in captivity as well, I've seen it in Kevin Richardson's reserve for example. And cat stretching animations would be excellent, too as well as scratching for medium sized carnivorans (hind leg scratching behind ears).

I think that's the most important one in such discussions.
Seen a lot of people comment they should add certain animations/features to an animal but it's important to look at the situation of those animals in a RL zoo.
