Umm a petting zoo pack with certain wild animals is something i'm not opposed to. Probably a scenery pack with palyground pieces.

1. Dromedary camel (camel rides?)
2. Highlands cow
3. Patagonian Mara
4. African pygmy goat
5. WE: parrots/lorikeets

These aren't common or widespread at all. There are allegedly 4 zoos in Europe with them, and at most a single remaining facility in the US. I can't imagine the numbers are significantly different for elsewhere in the world.

1- Dromedary Camels (very obvious and widespread)
2- Nile Crocodiles (found in a lot of zoos but maybe after all these crocodilians in the game, people lost their interest in adding them to the game roster)
3- Greater Kudus (I feel that these majestic animals are totally neglected by a lot of people although they are very common and widespread in zoos, I saw them in different zoos in Asia, Europe, and North America)
4- Porcupines (Any species)
5- Baboons (Any species)
6- Sloths (Any species)
7- Red River Hog. (Very common in zoos around the world)
8- Blackbucks.

1. Sloth
2. Cape/Crested Porcupine
3. Red River Hog - maybe not as much aware of exactly what it is with the general public, but common? Absolutely.
4. 1 or 2 additional New World Monkeys - maybe Howler and Spider.
5. Swan (any species)

I'm not even going to touch on the WE or aviary flying birds. That's a whole other list.

These:
  • Hamadryas baboon.
  • Squirrel monkey.
  • Spider monkey (Geoffroy's first, Colombian second).
As far as zoo staples go that would pretty much round it out at this point.
 

peafowl

Guineafowl, Mandarin duck (and other species of duck), Several species of pheasant, Secretary bird, Black swan, Scarlet ibis, Night heron, Ground hornbill, etc etc

  • Southern Tamandua

Probably already mentioned but a muntjac or chevrotain. I would like the last one in particular because of its small size. I think about keeping it with binturong that spend most of its time in Trees. Both are also nocturnal. But does anyone know if a binturong would hunt chevrotain?

Ranked by urgency in my personal opinion:
  1. Pelican
  2. Ground-Dwelling Birds (Guineafowl, Pheasant, Seriema)
  3. Waterfowl (Swans, Geese, Ducks, Cormorants)
  4. Coati
  5. Baboon
  6. Water-Dwelling Birds (Spoonbill, Ibis, Shoebill, Grey-Crowned Crane)
  7. New World Monkeys (Squirrel, Spider, Tamarin)
  8. Sloth
  9. Crested Porcupine
  10. Patagonian Mara
  11. Flying Birds
  12. Fish
  13. Lizards (Chameleon, Gecko, Agama, Tegu, Frilled Lizard)

I feel like they maybe wouldn’t hunt but definitely would be unsafe to house together. Chevrotains are tiny and Binturong are quite large with big claws.

You are probably right. I also read they are quite shy chevrotain. A binturong might be too intimidating. A shame though . Would have loved the combo.
