I would love to see teaching shows added. Having it's own building (for all of the builders out there). Schedule times and days, ticket prices and it's own employees. Even choosing which animals are shown. It should add to guest education levels and happiness. That's also where the aviaries would be nice. A teaching show with owls, eagles, toucans or parrots as the focus. It could even have it's own special advertising and gift shop. I would LOVE to see a "plushie" gift shop, see people leaving holding a stuffed giraffe as tall as they are, or a large Teddy bear or elephant, even a pink plushie flamingo!
And I know this seems to be a sore spot for some players but I personally would love to see a petting zoo with teaching elements. Things like rabbits, hedgehogs, ferrets, goats, potbelly pigs, sheep and ponies, with information boards explaining how some of these animals are bought as gifts and "pets" every year then abandoned, and a shop selling bags of feed and treats for the animals. I keep getting guest comment that there's not much to do, even though I have several habitats and exhibits. It makes sense though, there's a lot to SEE, but not much to DO, I think a petting zoo would fill that "DO" need.
I would also love to see farm animals in a teaching environment, with information boards explaining the abuses that happen in the dairy and poultry industries, how pigs are actually kept before they're slaughtered and how many race horses are killed every year. These are real life problems that would translate to the game.
I would love to see these animals in the game.
Koala
Otter
Kangaroo
Mongoose
Black footed ferrets
Panther/Jaguar
Lynx
Bobcat
Puma
Porcupine
Wallaby
Tasmanian Devil
Meerkats
Prairie Dog
Woodchucks
Clouded Leopard
Pallas Cat
American Pika (with information about climate affecting them)
Skunks
Opossum (as North America's only marsupial I would LOVE to see this)
Exhibit Animals (and the ability to build double wide exhibits)
Hedgehog
Bats (and information boards about white nose syndrome)
Flying Foxes (fruit bats)
Jerboa
(more to come as I think of them)
And too many birds to list.
