Hi all. First I'd like to say I'm a big fan of Planet Zoo and like the majority of players of the game, absolutely love nature and animals.
However, one thing I have noticed about media regarding Australian flora and fauna, is that it is grossly under-represented - most nature documentaries (e.g. Planet Earth [or any other Attenborough doco]) show Australia for a 5 minute segment, if at all, which is why I'd love to see it get some facetime in one of my favourite games.
From the outback to our extensive forests and grasslands, there are so many different species of animals that often get overlooked because of the way our countries wildlife is portrayed in media.
Most of the animals don't exist just to kill you (
), it'd be amazing to see some more in the game.
Suggestions for animals:
(Obvious)
