Hello there.
While I would prefer Devs to focus on typical zoo animals first, I was thinking about how could the Frontier include the huge sea life without many controversies, as many people really expects to see them in the future, like at the end of game's life cycle.
Firstly, I thought about ambient large animals appearing randomly swimming in the Planet Outskirts on an Island map. While it has it's pluses, like possibility of inclusion of even a Blue Whale, I know that it would make some people angry to have that little of an interaction with so desired animals.
After watching Ruddi's video about Marine animals, I'm even more convinced that inclusion of something like Sea Life rescue stations, would make much sense.
I thought of it, as you wouldn't be possible of purchasing the sea mammals per sei.
They would just appear randomly in a bad condition, or in a very young age, left by their parents, or just orphaned.
The player's aim would be to get them to the right condition, or raise them, and then, immediately release them to the wild.
I would just make the animals feel bad in any size of enclosure, if they are adult, and are healthy.
This would also make possible to include some bigger animals into the game.
While Blue whale would still be crossed out. There is a facility in NA that once upon a time, adopted an orphaned Gray Whale, and successfully managed to raise it up to the point he could got released back into the wild.
I believe that would allow the developers for strike two birds with one stone- both including the well desired sea life, and instead of violate the animals well being, raise the awareness.
Here's the picture of JJ, orphaned Gray Whale, successfully raised and released back to the wild.
