What species are missing for you to complete your local zoo?

[jcp011c]

Just realizing I never came back tot his thread after the Summer pack!

I think as far as Mammals go, I'm almost set. There's quite a few mammals that have "close enough" replacements, and there's a handful of mammals I simply don't care if we get or not (to no one's surprise, the African Antelopes, mainly)

The Spectacled Bear is the only mammal left that I need to recreate my local zoo well enough to satisfy me. We have other bears, but no, they are not close enough for me to substitute. Though I suppose I will have to if they're not the game at the end of official support (on Franchise mode anyways)

I would like the Masai Giraffe, Two Toed Sloth, and Grey Kangaroo, quite a bit, but am begrudgingly willing to count what we have as acceptable substitutes. Weird, isn't it...that I'm so adamant about the Spectacled Bear. I would rather not get the Cape Porcupine, simply because I feel the Crested is really a very acceptable substitute. I wouldn't be unhappy with it though.

So that's really great for me personally, just one mammal to go.

The Arid Animal Pack only gave me one animal from my local zoo, but quite a major one, Black Rhino. This is one of the most famous species at Chester, in fact they are the coordinator of the breeding program in Europe for the species!

There is also a good few species with decent substitutes. There is still a lot of significant species missing, mostly primates and birds but also some carnivores and ungulates. I don't expect or even want them all though to be honest.

Decided to put mine in their list form (and at the Franklin park zoo)

 

[synthetase]

What I want most as far as habitat animals go:

• Bat-eared Fox
• Spider Monkey
• TWO-toed Sloth
• Three-banded Armadillo
• Chevrotain*

*This one isn't present anymore but he or she was one of my favorites to see! (Assuming I was lucky enough to be around when he or she was awake).

For Australian zoos these are the main most common ones at zoos which would help make an Aussie zoo much more complete

Habitat

• Tasmanian devil
• Perentie
• Mertens water monitor
• Freshwater crocodile
• Brolga
• Echidna

Exhibit

• shingleback skink (common in zoos)
• Bearded dragon (common in zoos)
• thorny devil (less common in zoos)
• red bellied black snake
• taipan
• olive python
• green tree frog
• corroboree frog (cr - zoos have breeding programs specifically at Taronga and Melbourne zoo)

Oh and bonus pic, here is an olive python eating a freshwater crocodile in the wild

Zoos in Malaysia have false gharials, cobras and large pythons which Planet Zoo don't.

 

[Milurian]

there are more missing than present mostly exhibit animals and birds for simplicity ill only include possible habitat animals

• australian sea lion
• brush tailed bettong
• brush tailed rock wallaby
• cotton top tamarin
• fishing cat
• francois langur
• goodfellows tree kangaroo
• greater bilby
• plains wanderer

Oceania players how you doing?

Got the tassie devil and Quokka. Kiwi I've never seen in zoos near me. I think some ones I haven't been to have penguins. Never seen I flying fox in zoos near me though.

Great, the only last ones which would be nice to do a full well rounded zoo are the fresh water crocodile, short beaked echidna and on a lower priority the perentie for habitat.

For exhibits the olive python, red bellied black snake, inland taipan, corroboree frog, green tree frog, thorny devil, bearded dragon and frilled neck lizard would be the main representatives I would hope for

 

[QueenCinna]

I feel like we need an echinda, a perentie, and about 10 exhibit species but otherwise good

 

[Orkan]

I’m 99% sure we’ll get an echidna by the end of support just because of the song alone.

 

[Antimony96]

The aquarium that's very close to me is one of the few North American zoos with little blue penguins, which were a bit less active on my visit than the African penguins which they also have.

Just for snakes I also think the inland taipan is a pretty iconic one that I've seen in a few places.

Just for snakes I also think the inland taipan is a pretty iconic one that I've seen in a few places.

I'd really like an inland taipan too, they're such an awesome snake and also the most commonly kept Australian elapid internationally from what I can tell (which is probably just because of their allure as the most venomous snake on earth). Would have been my preferred snake for the Arid Animal Pack but not sure where we could get it now.

If such a thing was even possible I'd absolutely adore a whole pack of just Australian exhibit animals, the lack of reptiles is probably the biggest hole in the Australia roster now aside from flying birds.

I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Australian exhibit animals are pretty much the only ones we can still import so they're very important for our zoos. Bearded dragons, shingleback lizards, Cunningham's skinks, goliath stick insects, bell frogs. No snakes, obviously, but still.

 

[NZFanatic]

For Orana Wildlife Park, it's now just the waterbuck, Tibetan yak, Sumatran tiger, lace monitor, and Geoffroy's spider monkey.

For Willowbank Wildlife Reserve, a very unlikely NZ-focused barnyard pack (kunekune pigs, Auckland Island pigs, Arapawa goat, and others), the tufted capuchin, waterfowl of various types, the leopard tortoise, Indian star tortoise, and the South Island takahe.

 

[DarthQuell]

I'd argue that it's the biggest hole anywhere.
For North America alone, we're missing:

1. Alligator snapping turtle
2. Common snapping turtle
3. Box turtle
4. Copperhead
5. Water moccasin/cottonmouth
6. Coral snake (any species)
7. Garter snake (any species)

The Common Chuckwalla would also be pretty nice and the Gopher Tortoise
