Animals you hate in ZT games

Zoo Tycoon 1:
Big cats that make the loud noise except the cheetah: The are NEVER happy even though the exhibit meets 100% of their needs and they ever eat. Lions, tigers and cheetah are like any other animal, but these cats are SO needy even when their exhibit is suitable.
Sabertooth: Same as above.
Flamingo: They need way too much space and land. Also can't have real flocks without them complaining about too much animals.
Penguin: Same thing as above and it needs a shelter.
Sea turtle: Can only be placed on tanks.
Walrus: Not the snow biome.
Also a side thing is that there are literally no scrub or boreal dwelling animals even though these biomes are programmed in the game. Ostrich, anteater and kangaroo would be great scrub candidates, with moose, grizzly and gray wolf being the same for boreal forest.

Zoo Tycoon 2:
Peafowl: Guests get scared of them like they get scared of a t-rex. Is there any downloadable hack to make guests stop getting scared of them (and possibly of turtles and flamingos too)? Or even a live peafowl ambient? It's so annoying. I made a peafowl ambient but it walks through just about anything, even tanks, and randomly turns into a statue just to start "screaming" with no sound and walk again and again through things. Really my most hated animal.
Secretary: Can't really fly, only thing it ever does is run with half-spread wings.
Flamingo: Stupid spacey bird with wrong biome. Coastal biome is soooo more realistic for it.
Ostrich: Turns pink whenever i place it which made me download Radical Remake.
Killer penguin: I actually like it as a hidden joke animal but something like a chicken would be a better failed experiment animal.
ZT2 would be so much better if all birds and small animals like beavers would be just looped animations of mini-exhibits without huge needs like the Xbox version, and if the peafowls could run free on your zoo.

Zoo Tycoon 2 DS:
Flamingos: Can't go on water.

Is walkin' with a dead man.

Pretty much everything you hate about ZT2 can be fixed via hacks if you just Google it...

My most hated animal in Zoo Tycoon 1: the spinosaurus from Dinosaur Digs </3
I can't seem to get it's exhibit right no matter what I do.

From Zoo Tycoon 2: I really dislike the koalas. They're ugly, and rarely climb trees.

Also did you know that the Killer penguin are a joke animal from Zoo Tycoon 1, where the penguins can kill pretty much everything?

Some animals are pretty hard to please in ZT1, like the big cats. I haven't played the game in a while but here's what I remember:
-Some cats will only be happy with a climbing tree (a researcheable toy) in their exhibit (applies to leopard, black leopard and clouded leopard)
-Some animals are very shy and will become unhappy if there are too many guests (ex. clouded leopards). To solve this, use opaque fences (so people can't see through them) and leave only a small portion of the exhibit as a viewing area.
-Some animals like to have a mate to be happy so always place at least 2 of them.
-For these hard-to-please animals, try to have their exhibit already be suitable (as much as you can) when you purchase them (put the appropiate ground, trees, rocks, shelters, toy if necessary for leopards, and elevation for puma, snow leopard, etc.). Then pause and place the animal and read the recommendations to fix the exhibit, when there are no more complaints, unpause the game and try to delete a tree/rock etc. if there is a happy face, delete more, is there is a sad face, undo and place more, until you see a sad face and you know it's too much foliage/rocks etc. Do the same with foliage proportions (ex. you have tropical and grass, replace tropical with grass, if sad face revert and do the opposite, if happy face continue until sad face). That way you will have the exact exhibit and your animals should be happy and even breed (yes I've bred all cat species in the game).

Regarding ZT2, try these hacks:

Open to World Hack for Free-Roaming Animals
Guests will no longer run from animals. ( Even a rampant T-Rex won’t scare ’em. )

OH YESSS!

The Caudipteryx from the original. It requires me to place so many rocks in the exhibit that the entire exhibit is practically covered in them by the time they're happy.

I hate everything about the animals in ZT1, their requirements are bonkers.

And I just use hacks to get rid of a lot of issues for the ZT2 animals, although they can eb annoying at times.

the only animal I can say I truly hate in ZT1 are the tuna, they dirty their tank faster than it can be cleaned so they just repeatedly get sick and die, which is a shame because they are one of the more interesting animals in MM.

As for the peafowls, they were, prior to AA, able to wander around without guests panicking, but they added advanced coding in AA which causes the peafowls to panic guests, among other things.

Currently mad at tortoises.
If you put them in large exhibits, they are so slow that when they need to eat, their needs have gone critical by the time they reach the food/water, and so they start raging, destroying fences and end up forgetting to eat at all.
And if you put them in a small exhibit, they'll soon make it overcrowded and filled with excrements, not to mention getting stuck in scenery.
And don't try to put them with animals that use the same resources (like food), it will only speed up the process.

I really hate the guests but that does't count,

I don't like Protarchaeopteryx, because they always kill their babies and It's just really annoying having carcasses all over the place

The wolves from ZT2 are my least favorite. They constantly kill each other, making it hard to have a successful exhibit...
Maybe it's a hack interfering, but I've always had this problem. Vanilla or not.

Second place is the Deinonychus from EA. It was probably one of the worst animals in the vanilla game regarding its looks. :C
And Utahraptor was ginormous.

In the first zoo tycoon, the penguins just wanted billions of rocks.

And somehow ate the giraffes.

ATM Impalas, but I guess this is more of a problem with animals using gazelle set.
Basically they start hopping around in happynessand get too far from the food, so they can't find a way back and soon they start complaining.

ooo-weee-ooooooooo eee-yoo-ooooooooo...

I rebember playing my friend's ZT1. He had a lot of penguins (he is obsessed with them :P) and when I had a nearby herbivore, they tried to do anything to kill it. I also hated the dinosaurs. They either killed or panicked and mass murdered.
