New decorations

I think the implementation of these new decorations that I propose below could be interesting
Other posters could be put up with the information of each animal. I mean what is your diet, your length, your height, your weight and to finish a print of your footprints. An information panel similar to this one

Order: Artiodactyla
Family: Giraffidae
Weight ---- 0.8 -- 1.5 tons
Height ---- 3.9 -- 5.5 meters
Tail Length ---- 0.8 -- 1.1 meters
Regions: Horn of Africa, Kalahari, Katanga, Congo Basin, Rift Valley, South Africa

They could also be used as decorative elements, it is animal skeletons, animal skulls. If that were possible, it could include the option of a game for children to rebuild the skeleton of an animal

If they finally decide to add birds to the game, it could be interesting as a decorative element, adding some displays where the unfertilized eggs of the birds that would be in the game appear. Something similar to this one

I definitely like the idea of animal skeletons. I think it would be cool to have prehistoric fossils in an exhibit with modern day similar species for comparison. Like a full Kaprosuchus skeleton in a crocodile exhibit. I do not want them to put extinct species in Planet Zoo, but fossils would be cool and educational!

I really like the idea. Especially since my main zoo project shares its entrance building with a natural history museum thats currently just an empty shell, so stuff like this would be very welcome for me. Always enjoyed the skeletal mounts on the workshop, unfortunately they are often like twice the size they should be to get any detail in, so getting official ones would be awesome. Dont really know what kind of pack those would fit in

I always felt this type of thing was the next logical step in the "educator" resurgence Frontier focused on in 2022. The 3 education stands they did add were a nice start, but they barely scratch the surface.
Doesn't appear to be anything educator-related in this DLC, so I'm hoping the go back to it for the summer update.

I wish they'd add natural history type decorations like taxodermy models, skeletons, pinned insects and fossils. Zoos often have that kind of stuff for education purposes anyway. It's such a missed opportunity.

Absolutely agree with this. I love it to add a Museum to my Zoos. Horns and Antlers would also be a nice Addition. Maybe also a Skeleton of a Giant Tortoise, so Guests can see that the Shell is actually a Part of the Skeleton. It could also give a small Education Bonus

Maybe also taxidermied Specimens of Thylacines, Quaggas, Great Auks.... which would of course cost millions of Dollars.
Some Museum also has a really nice Taxidermy of a Anaconda strangling its Prey.
Some Graphics would also be nice that compare Animals to their extinct Relatives (Elephants, Mammoths and Palaeoloxodon falconeri)(Giraffe and Sivatherium)(Zebra and Eohippus)(Sloth and Megatherium) those would be really nice if the Animals on them would be depicted in Life Size

Living Fossils Pack together with Animals like Horseshoe Crab and Lungfish. I think Snapping Turtles are also considered as living Fossils so we could get those too

It would also seem like a good idea to me, and incidentally to pay homage to them, to include statues or busts of famous naturalists or biologists. And that they have made us aware that it is very important to preserve and care for wildlife
For example: Charles Darwin, David Attenborough, Jane Goodall, Jacques Cousteau, Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente

Jane Goodall

Jacques Cousteau

Description (picture of the right)
The monument for Jacques Cousteau consists of two parts:

In the sea is an abstract sculpture of a dolphin.
On shore a stone with a bronze plaque showing the title CALYPSO (the name of Cousteau's research vessel) with a swimming woman and a dolphin, Cousteau's portrait and a quote in handwriting.

Inscription(s) (picture of the right)
CALYPSO

"We have discovered a new world for humanity from hours my duty will be to convince human beings to protect and care for our world for future generations"

"Children of the world, we are working to clear the way for you. So that you can continue to fly the kites, so that you can join us and come another chapter to the greatest adventure of all time"

Jacques Cousteau
