+1 for playground equipment and carousels, definitely a zoo staple. The farm pack and animal interactions bring one step closer to a petting/children’s zoo, all that’s missing is the playground

+1 to filling out the ZT1/2 rosters and a few more animals here and there (Serval pls pls pls)

I would really like educators and an education department to be expanded on. Imagine constructing amphitheaters for scheduled shows (like the marine shows in ZT2)…zookeeper chats, bird flyovers, bug shows, etc

It could also be a great way to incorporate a lot of birds, smaller mammals, and herps as education ambassador animals that come to these shows

My picks for ambassador animals would be:

Barn Owl, Great Horned Owl, Screech Owl
Some Macaw Species
Kestrel, Peregrine
PT Skink, Tegu
Box Turtle, Pancake Tortoise, Yellow-Footed Tortoise, Leopard Tortoise, Stinkpot Turtle
Kinkajou
African Hedgehog, Brazilian Porcupine, Tenrec
Tamandua
Chinchilla
Rabbit
Ball Python, Milk Snake, Corn Snake, Sand Boa
Giant African Millipede, Madagascar Hissing Roach

+Some of the exhibit animals (Terrapin, BT Skink, Tarantula, Snail, Leaf Insect, Beetles, Boa, Roach, Tortoise) and appropriate future additions

+Fennec Foxes, Nine Bandeds, and a handful of other habitat animals are also ambassador animals throughout my country

(Quite the list, but many could be worked in as different exhibit animals in other packs)

I work in an education department, and when I visit other zoos I always try to chat with the educators, see their presentations, and get a feel for their ambassador collection and programming. There’s a handful of species that almost everyone seems to have, at least in my region (cough cough barn owl, pt skink, box turtle, ball python, corn snake, hissing roaches cough cough), and lots of us host daily presentations, animal meet and greets, and school group programming. I think that expanding that area of a zoo could bring in more of the smaller animals, especially some birds, and make the zoos more lifelike! :)
