Small habitat animals

[scullivan]

While there have been some great recent small animal additions (prairie dog, meerkat, fennec fox for example), I think the game is still lacking. These kinds of tiny exhibits are so unique to build because there’s so few some cues to build them for, and you can really get creative in a different way with them - plus, they’re a great filler if you have a little gap in your zoo.
I think we definitely need more tiny habitat animals on the scale of the three I mentioned above. What are some species you would like to see added to the game?

The smallest mammal that I want is the Alpine marmot, but my most wanted small animal is the raccoon.

Perhaps a skunk, they could be kept together with raccoon. i would love to see coatis. And really small monkeys like squirrel monkey and tamarins

 

[SalamAnders]

Rock Hyrax and smaller tortoises!

Wouldn't mind some more mongoose species either. And of course more rodents and monkeys!

Overall I just really want more small creatures.

I'd love to see pole cats and pine martens

 

[Jeeminee]

Great ideas ! I would love to see a porcupine also!

I would absolutely love to see tamarins and marmosets in the game for some smaller species of primates.

And Patagonian Maras would be amazing to have.

 

[Karen F]

I love all the suggestions so far!!

I'd love to see more small habitat animals! Small primates would be awesome. Coatis, raccoons, pine marten, red fox, caracal, armadillo would all be fun too I'm sure there are plenty more. I really like building small habitats, they're great for filling in gaps, and zoos aren't all about elephants and large animals after all.

God I want more small habitat animals so badly; my top three would probably be Coati, Armadillo, and the Golden Lion Tamarin, but I honestly just want more in general, lol

I was strongly hoping we wouldn't get any animals with a full body length short than 75cm, but sadly that broke with meerkats. I despise small animals because they're a royal pain to manage (and actually engage myself in the gameplay).

I really like small animals and I want to see porcupine and sloth!

 

[sockeyejo]

Some of you are choosing pretty big small animals

 

[SallinDaemon]

I'd love an assortment of small mustelids; mink, polecats, stoats, and weasels can fit into some fairly tiny arrangements!

Hedgehogs might work too. Elephant shrews? Rabbits and hares would be fun, too.

 

[Fini]

Oh I like small animals, they are so cute.
Mountain Hares, Porcupines (north american and african crested), Agoutis, if you ask me Guinea Pigs, smaller Tortoises, Hegdhogs, Coatis, Racoons, Tiger Quolls, Numbats, Martens, Echnidas, Patagonian Maras, I love them all

Ops, I forgot Tasmanian devils. I've never seen one in real life, so I might have a faux idea about their size, but I think thay can be considered small animals too.

Another small animal that I like is the sand cat, which unfortunately is not often mentioned on the forum:

Now we’re talking tiny!
I am sure not many people have ever heard of them. I didn’t until I saw them at the zoo together with their even tinier kittens!

 

[Britches]

Yes! Small cats and CIVETS please!

 

[nutrit]

I would really want to see my small 5:

• Coati
• Serval
• Lion tailed macaque
• Mantled guereza
• African civet

 

[Fini]

Civets yes

Owston's Palm Civet
(Funfact: in Germany they called "Fleckenroller" - 1:1 translateted "Spotwallower" sometimes we have really wierd names for animals )
