I have worked in zoos and have a few awesome ideas that would make this game even better. Personally I would love to see flying birds and fish in this game. parrots, parakeets, toucans, hornbills, eagles, vultures, owls, kookaburra, turacos, Ibis, piranhas, koi, etc. with some birds you could even make a show flight path so they can fly outside of their habitat without trouble during a show. you could make areas that are defined as show areas so you can create a flight path for the birds to and from the show area and give the show area different timeslots. you could link multiple habitats to it this way you can use 1 show area for multiple shows and by linking a habitat to it you don't have to make specific paths for each bird. just 1 flight path for the whole flock to follow in a general direction. Having shows can be implimented as a way of attracting visitors as well. For the fish I would love to see aquariums added to the games, but I already see people making custom ones, so maybe they can be options in the water tab, not only adjusting the colour of the water but also what would live in it besides the animals in the habitat. maybe you can combine this with some vivarium animals like the little turtles. this way water will be more lively and vibrant. can you imagine a lake full of life and then a flock of exotic birds of different kinds flying over it past the tribunes while someone talks and / or seems to be giving instructions to the animals. A real zoo that has this is Avifauna in the Netherlands.

I think these Ideas will not just make things more realistic and vibrant but will also give a big WOW effect. Especially with how creative people can be with this game.
