Mysterious Unused Sheep Files?

I found these files for Sheep in the vanilla Zoo Tycoon 2 Game files, while I was looking for resources to retexture the wolf.

It's been a long while since I played Zoo Tycoon 2 properly, but I don't ever recall a sheep in the unmodded version of the game.

I was wondering if anyone else here noticed these, and what they're for? I'm really curious!

I've seen them before. I can only guess that there was gonna be some sort of Sheep in the game or part of some sort of Petting Zoo thing

Yes I've seen them before as well :) I believe someone even made it into an actual animal many years ago.

There needs to be a "Cutting Room Floor" Discussion. Lol

Apparently, there's no zoopedia for this little sheep. They must have removed it so that it does not show up in the game but it's possible to not show it in the game.

There's a user that made it into an actual animal? Never heard of it but it's possible.

The game files also contain files for a pellet dispenser that was also scrapped, so maybe guests could use it to feed certain animals including the sheep, as some form of petting zoo, as already mentioned.

Also Hugo made the dispenser available as a scenery item, although I don't think it's functional and is nothing more than scenery.

Does anyone know what prevents the sheep from showing up in game? Maybe it's an easy fix.

It was never finished. That's it.


This sheep is pretty old news though, this has been known ever since modding started :P

Well old people leave and new people come, so it might not have been that new to some. I certainly didn't know that and was already wondering what it is :P

yes, and as an zoo tycoon old timer myself, I was aware of the sheep from discussions long ago too, Just wondering if anyone had ever done anything with it.

If you're planning to add sheep back into the game, only animations, model, textures and .xml for sheep to display these behavior is only that's left. From there, you have to give the sheep zoopedia and other things that would allow the sheep to be in the game. Would be best if you make another .z2f for that.

Good luck on trying if your planning to bring back the animal. Odd, the dispenser kind of look like gumball dispenser.

It was turned into an ambient in old downloads on Zoo Admin, but I don't think it was ever made into a full animal because it doesn't have all the required animations or something.

EDIT:
There is no BF for the sheep and it does not have an emote. So it's an ambient. I think you can make one into a adoptable or a purchasable one. That would be cool.
