The only two I would remove would be the pilot whale and goblin shark. And in their place, a leopard seal and a gulper eel.

ZT2: Remove red panda, ring-tailed lemur, American beaver, and mountain gorilla. Replace with American bison, gray wolf, koala, and Western lowland gorilla.
ES: Remove American bison, gray wolf, koala, and Javan rhinoceros. Replace with red panda, ring-tailed lemur, American beaver, and Indian rhinoceros.
AA: Remove African spurred tortoise, Masai giraffe, caracal, white rhinoceros, pygmy hippopotamus, and nile monitor. Replace with creseted porcupine, serval, klipspringer, African crowned crane, pangolin, and Abyssinian ground hornbill.
DD: Remove Styracosaurus and Carnotaurus. Replace with Stegosaurus and Velociraptor.
MM: Remove goblin shark, leatherback sea turtle, blue marlin and narwhal. Replace with Commerson's dolphin, Amazon river dolphin, ocean sunfish, and Mediterranean monk seal.

I switched animals around in ZT and ES 'cause it seemed that some low risk animals in ES should have been in ZT and some endangered/vulnerable animals in ZT should have been in ES. :blink: My biggest swithceroo was in AA. In MM, I took out some ones that bugged me and replaced with more realistic ones. Though the river dolphin is pretty challenging to keep in real marine parks. :wacko:

@ luckybunny- nice ideas, although I'd personally keep the gorilla, gibbon, Javan Rhino, whale shark, and great white. And I'd keep the Florida Panther, since the xp was called Endangered Species. And whale sharks have been kept in captivity. But I'm glad to see someone else wanted a Marabou Stork in AA. :D


Yes, but arn't eastern cougars endangered? The javan rhino is really endangered and I don't think it's normal to have one in a zoo, so I don't use them unless it's a wildlife reserve. And the mountain gorrila could just be a different type thats been kept in captivity.

Oh and I take back the whale sharks then...

@luckybunny- yes, Eastern Cougars are endangered. So I guess it doesn't really matter since they're both very similar. And I'd also change the gorilla to another type, but in your list you didn't say that you would.
@redrose- the reason there weren't any large whales in MM2 was becuase they wouldn't fit and they'd be unrealistic

I don't like that. Oh no - the orang-utan is essential to any zoo game. A whooping crane? For one of the great apes? What's the point? A crane is a crane, not often seen in zoos as much as the other. An orang-utan is very often in a zoo, because, well, it's interesting to see an animal so much like us. Plus, we don't have many South-east Asian animals, and not a single one from Malaysia (where I am typing).

@beagle boy- what's this "inside source?"
@Cuddly Panda- I agree w/ you, the orangutan is essential
@DinoMania- it wouldn't matter if dd2 had a range or not, we still couldn't open their files to make other dinos
@Fennec- well, perhaps he wanted them to use the term more loosely. I myself also wanted an Amazon river dolphin in mm2.

Yeah, but marine strictly means... oceanic. An aquatic,  South American or freshwater EXP would be a better place for an Amazon river dolphin to appear in... I want one myself, just not in MM2.

Ah, I see what you mean.  ;) But then again, a river dolphin would be a nice addition.  :D

nice ideas, but wouldn't the bald eagle require aviaries/covered cages? Like I said before, I think flying birds should have their own xp.

Snowstalker:

ZT: I have to agree with the gorilla. More real, but hey, we can't change it now.
ES: Koala is, like orang-utan, essential. I'm not saying its well made, but it should stay. Koalas are very zoo-ey (Weeeeee! Another new word!), but they shouldn't stay on the ground so much, I must admit. A bald eagle - theres no point. Unless Blue Fang wanted to be uber-unrealistic, we couldn't contain it. Clipping wings, you say? Most people wouldn't like birds to be wing-clipped in a game when they can fly freely in an expansion. Javan for Indian rhino - I think its fine but oh well.
MM: SAND TIGER SHARK! I really wanted them in Marine, they are popular in aqauriums becuase they look so vicous yet they can happily live with other reef fish. Perfect. Just what I would want. Goblin sharks haven't been kept outside their environment before anyway, so I'd love that swap.

I'd have to agree with you Cuddly Panda. Although I wouldn't replace the goblin shark with another shark, but that's just me.

Although goblin sharks haven't been kept in captivity, I'd still let it stay... it's unique!

The Chimpanzee with a Bonobo
Komodo Dragon with the Butaan
Common Peafowl with the Congo Peafowl
Gelada, Barbary Ape with Howler monkey and Golden Lion Tamarin
Bluefang needs to add some more rare animals.
