Walk-through friendly/petting zoo animals please!

[Jennavieve]

I'm new to the game but I've quickly found myself drawn to creating walk-though habitats, especially multi-species ones. I'd love to see more of these types of animals added to the game and maybe even re-flagging some of the animals as walk-through friendly. One of my local zoos has a walk-through deer exhibit and I so wish I could make one in mine. I'd especially love to be able to make a functioning petting zoo where the guests can roam freely and actually interact with the animals (complete with coin-operated feed dispensers). Animals like sheep, goats, and pigs would be awesome to have for this.

Walk-through aviaries would be great too. Would love to see the inclusion of some nice bird varieties.

If we get an Australia Pack in the future and Frontier does their research, odds are good that we might get a walkthrough-capable kangaroo and emu. Zoos in Australia and New Zealand often have this type of exhibit.

Wallabies and kangaroos are definitely common walkabouts at many zoos. Where I live, there are no emu walkabouts, I assumed they were too dangerous usually. Maybe I'm incorrect.

You are assuredly incorrect. Auckland and Wellington Zoo here in NZ both have emus as part of their walkabouts.

well usually its not always in the kangaroo habitat. in my zoo the emus and other birds are in the bird aviary. that's the place where all the birds are in my local zoo. but i don't know about yours!

That would be awesome! I never even knew they put kangaroos and emus in walk-in exhibits. I've always assumed that at least the kangaroos are too testy and dangerous for that.

It depends on the species. The eastern grey kangaroo is the most commonly-held species in captivity and they're about as docile as deer are. The red kangaroo is more threatening. Being honest I suspect if we get a kangaroo, Frontier will do the red kangaroo, since it's more renowned and iconic, which probably means it won't be a walkthrough animal, but we'll see. They've gotten it wrong before; giant anteaters are territorial and extremely dangerous, yet we're allowed to put them in walkthroughs.
