Carnivores Scare Guests:
Since carnivores wont be able to kill the guests of the park, maybe implementing something like this will give it more of a real feel.
Lets say there is a pride of lions, kept behind a mesh wire fence (not very safe at all) and the fence is right next to the path, so visitors can be almost touching against it.
The lions should swipe / jump or roar at the guests by the fence, causing them to get a ''feeling lack of security'' which will make guests very unhappy and leave the park, this will encourage players to think about enclosures, either put them behind stone walls with windows, or to move the enclosure further from the path so that both animals and quests are equally happy.
Additionally, think all animals should have their own way of doing this, eg. If gorillas are in the game, its the lead silver back who would run over and bang on his chest to protect his family, or for elephants, the lead male trumpeting.
However, there should also be some animals who are not bothered by human presence, such as small deer.
Additionally, there could be personality's / traits that make some animals more likely to react to humans in playful or aggressive ways
Playful young:
we know we will be getting baby animals, but ive not seen in any of the trailers that they act any different for animals.
Maybe have babys who like to follow the parents and pounce on them to play as they would in the wild, or have some play wrestling, little deer who like to gallop and pounce around the mother, baby elephants who play together in the water, spraying one another and their parents.
Other animals who can use climbing frames:
im hoping that the awesome new climbing frames wont just be for apes, I hope that things like panthers, leopards and other species that are known to climb can also use these.
Realistic Breeding Behaviour:
Example: Turtles make nests, lay eggs, eggs hatch.
Dont make it so they just pop babys out, turtles, crocodiles and other species dont have live births.
I want to see the mother animals nurture their young.
Breeding Seasons:
a lot of animal species, have specific set seasons they will breed, have females go into heat, and make male animals challenge each other for 'breeding rights' such as deer sparring to show which is stronger.
Weather and Heat can affect eggs layed by animals:
Lets say a croc layed eggs, if it gets too cold, they will all die.
Maybe even add in a possibility to collect and incubate the eggs, or move the mothers and their nests to a warm indoor area with a heating setting.
Or even an item that can be placed near the nests to control temperature.
