Prehistoric Animals Statues

[greed92]

Hello everyone,

I think a good compromise on the Zoo/Prehistoric theme is to have prehistoric animals.. as statues. Like it is in many zoos now.
Instead of having true animals, you can place statues with maybe signs\plaques that describes the creature.

I saw that something pretty similar was done in Planet Coaster in the Steam Workshop, so why not doing the same also in Planet Zoo?
I think the statues could be a DLC altogether or part of a future release. Something like 15 statues to use could do it.

The creatures displayed as statues could be:
Arthropleura
Dimetrodon
Pteranodon
Plesiosaurus
Herrerasaurus
Stegosaurus
Archaeopteryx
Apatosaurus\Brontosaurus
Tyrannosaurus Rex
Triceratops
Deinonychus
Eohippus
Smilodon
Mammoth
Neanderthal Man (as a group under the rock)

What do you think?
Maybe with the statues could come some Building about Paleonthology\Extinct Animals, or some dinosaur-like plants (cycads, magnolia, horsetails, ginkos).

That's it!

I'd rather have an extinct animals DLC with a campaign focused on reviving those species and reintroducing them into the wild.

extinct Animals statues are cool! life size ones would be even better.btw,while reintroducing Animals like thylacine or Dodo should be even mankind duty,releasing dinosaurs or ice age Animals is a crime

Not prehistoric but a thylacine statue - small and educational rather than large and monumental - would be very useful especially for a Tasmanian zoo or alongside Tasmanian devil enclosures if we got them.

Anyone who wants to revive fossils and release prehistoric animals or dinosaurs go play Jurassic World: Evolution. Literally by the same developers.

This is a ZOO game. Real animals. Please for the love of god do not ruin this with this mess.

Jurassic World evolution doesn't have prehistoric mammals, or a piece by piece building system. No breeding system as well, and the game has to conform to Jurassic World's lore. If they chose to make a prehistoric animal DLC, you know, you could always just not buy it..

Who's forcing you to use or buy these not "real" animals? Why would something completely optional ruin the base game? If you're bothered by something optional, you have the power to exclude it.

Plus, its not taking the resources away or animal slots away. With DLC, they can add in as many animals as they like, meaning adding a few extinct animals wouldn't do anything bad.

It's clearly stated as 'statues' at the title so there's nothing about reviving fossils things here. Also, real zoos do hold special events about prehistoric or extinct animals, putting animatronics or statues around the zoo or make an special exhibition or program about it.
