What Alligators and Crocodiles would be best to be next?

[StarshineCat]

One thing I've noticed with my current zoo, is I like habitats for crocodiles and I like the games crocs. Yet the game only has two of them.

The Nile crocodile is obvious, because africa.
The Orinoco has a different face from others like the gharal does so would stand out.
Mugger has distinct light brown colour so would be good.
Chinese Alligators for an Alligator, as they're critical and have the short snouts that are cute.

The American Alligator - assuming they are going with a NA DLC in the future. It's just a very iconic animal

The Philippine Crocodile or the Cuban Crocodile would work for me too

I wouldn't mind 1 or 2 caiman species as well, like the Spectacled Caiman. I like the mix between larger en smaller animals. At least you can make different styles of habitats. (in Franchise you can't turn off animal welfare so species with less requirements would be nice)

I think a couple of new crocodilians would be great for the game – there are zoos around the world (I know of ones in America, Denmark, the UK, France and India for starters) that specialise primarily on crocodilians, although all of them do have some other animals as well. I have tried to choose species on the basis of both their classification (members of the alligator family get priority) and their geographical location (areas without crocodilian representation so far get precedence over those that already do). I have chosen just two species, as I think otherwise the crocodilians are quite well covered:

American alligator – My number one choice; a typical zoo species that is, by crocodilian standards, quite peaceable so you can find real zoos with large groups of these animals housed together. Would probably be my number one choice for a new North American animal, full stop.

Western dwarf crocodile – My second choice; they are a small species that is not particularly tied to water (so should have correspondingly low water requirements in the game), can climb, is quite often kept in smaller zoos and has a rather unique history in zoos, with its identity as a new species determined by genetic studies of European zoo animals.

These two are basically the only two I would want added at this point as well, plus perhaps a caiman just so it's all well-rounded.

American alligators seem to be the most represented crocodilian species in zoos around the world, so I would very much like to see them included.

Like most I definitely want American alligator. I’m pretty sure this will be in game sooner or later. Then perhaps a caiman subspecies. My local zoo has the cuvier’s dwarf caiman but like the name suggests they are fairly small for a habitat animal. After that I’m open to any crocodile really. Nile,American,Mugger,Orinoco, or African dwarf just to name a few. False gharial could be kinda neat too I guess.

I've seen this brought up before, but the dwarf caiman has an average length of 1.6m, putting it pretty close in size to the Nile monitor. Making it a habitat animal doesn't seem like too much of a stretch.

I'm probably not the best to ask since I'm that guy saying "All of them" so I'll give my opinions on a few.

Nile Crocodile - Obvious, a common crocodile in zoos.
American Alligator - Obvious
Chinese Alligator - Rare species
Orinoco Crocodile - A nice South American Crocodile.
A Caiman - Any is fine but it's the last kind of crocodilian needed aside from Alligators.
Mugger Crocodile - a unique species.
