I would like to minimalise the use of mesh for birds of prey aviary...

Hi all!

I'm happy than ever when red panda is revealed to be returning! The model improvement is definitely fantastic!

I did find his eyes a little bit too small and iris colour a little bit too bright though. I made some small edits myself (image 1) compared to original (image 2).

Hi all happy weekend!

I am absolutely hyped for PZ2 but can't help having some small concerns after seeing how aquarium is made in the game. It looks like the way the aquarium works was built for large aquarium tanks where keepers go in and swim inside. I suppose for small aquarium (e.g. for jellyfish, clownfish, garden eel, etc.) can be exhibits. However, zoos also usually feature medium aquarium (with tank being about or lower than adult height), especially for freshwater aquarium which also usually shows parts of the river bank ecoscenary. It might be weird where keepers are not swimming/diving but walking in these tank in game, and what's worse, that PZ2 won't allow these medium aquarium?

Hi all! Love to see fellow zoo keepers to share their wildlife reserve ideas for PZ2! I'll share my idea--the Wolong Nature Reserve in Sichuan, China (it's Wednesday so this shouldn't have broke the rule?). This is the "flagship" reserve for giant panda with very successful giant panda conservation program (although the ongoing giant panda reintroduction programs mainly happening in another reserve, the Liziping Reserve).

Wolong Nature Reserve is also the home for many other endangered species, and many of them have appeared in PZ1 or confirmed to be in PZ2. To list a few: (from left to right, from top to bottom) Sichuan takin, giant panda, Chinese red panda, golden eagle, golden pheasant, Chinese Goral (seen one in Edinburgh zoo and he was gorgeous!), golden snub-nose monkey, Asian black bear, snow leopard, and clouded leopard.

I believe this would be a very good reserve to be added to the game!

As most people know now that PZ2 steam shop has edited the text from “African lion” to "lion". I hope this suggests that we are getting lions according to their latest categorisation (northern lion and southern lion) instead of the olde categorisation (west African lion, Asiatic lion, etc.), because northern lion is not only a more scientific category but also represent both lions in Africa and Asia!

I was worrying about not having East Asian theme on day one but the east Asian stone lion statue made it to PZ2 base game! Not sure if it is part of the "East" theme (Southeast Asia also has stone lions) or it is still part of the east Asian theme. I really do hope East Asian theme would have got a rework and return, gotta use them for the pandas!

I'm not talking about the big ones like polar bears, meerkats, or capybaras, they almost certain will make a comeback. But my bois that are slightly less popular than the big names, I really would like to build for them again a the new game! What's your favourite DLC animals that you hope they make it back?
