The only good "plesiosaur" that I now (and also one of the few relased) is the Lonch Ness monster from Paranoia!. The other ones are the Formidable Seas leaked ones that are horrible ( the leaked ones have the skin like :x , you now).

I don't think that we can tell you every animal to put in your zoo. Perhaps, if you want the community to decide all of your animals, you should make it a YAFI Zoo.

Yafi stands for You Ask(ed) For It, which means that people make requests for your exhibits. I think that, for the styraco, you should go for something unusual. How about a Javan rhinoceros?

Y.A.F.I = You. Asked. For. It.

It's when you make the layout for a zoo but leave the enclosures empty and let people decide what animals to put where, or you let people give you their personal preferences to put in.

I'm making an exclusively extinct zoo, so it has to be another dinosaur.

They can be dinos of the same formation (Dinosaur Park formation)for example:

-Stygimoloch
-Parasaurolophus
-Ornithomimus
-Centrosaurus
-Euplocephalus

Carnivores:
-Daspletosaurus
-Gorgosaurus

PD: search on Wikipedia for more examples

i wouldn't put anything with a ceratopsian. maybe a hadrosaur or an ankylosaur about the same size or larger but only in a very spatious exhibit.

Has there ever been a good Euoplocephalus made? If so, i was not informed. Same goes for Centrosaurus.

i don't think so, although Buny made panoplosaurus and edmontonia which are from the same environment

How is the exhibit?

Then i'd mix them with some sort of agouti.

The exhibit is something like this:

i don't know why i did such enourmous indoor shelter. I think i thought the nacunda was a nocturnal bird and that during the day will be kept inside, simulating a nocturnal / dark enviorement. I also put two outdoor aviaries for the bird to be released in there during the actual night. But to be honest i couldn't found informations about their habits so now i'm not so sure it is a nocturnal bird after all xD

"This is what Wikipedia says about it: The Nacunda Nighthawk is the largest species of nightjar in the Neotropics, and is one of the largest in the world. In addition to its large size, this species also is noteworthy for its partially diurnal habits. Though a capable aerial forager, the Nacunda Nighthawk spends a considerable amount of time on the ground; it has notably long tarsi for a nightjar, and is more likely than other species to be seen standing on the ground (rather than resting on the surface). The Nacunda Nighthawk is distributed throughout central and eastern South America where it can be found in savanna, grassland, river edges, and disturbed habitats, but is much less common in western Amazonia than elsewhere. Its very large size, large head, and pale body with highly contrasting black primaries make the Nacunda Nighthawk easy to identify."

it says partially diurnal habits... so i don't know.

plus the bird is kind of small for such a big enclosure, so i'm also thinking about placing another animal there but i don't know what animal.

This second map is all about scrub and savanah so it would have to be an animal from that kind of biome and from southamerica (is a southamerican theme zoo).

And about the agouti... there isn't any good agouti avaiable (at least not that i like, i already try the one in BB and i DSA). Plus i'm reserving the agouti enclosure for the tropical rainforest map.
