Planet Zoo Creating Animal Props from Animals In Game?

I remember from when I would play in Zoo Tycoon 2 and I would download certain animals that sometimes I would place and animal and it would just stay still and not be moving etc... I was wondering if there was a way to go into an animal's file and change it up in a program so that you could say take the male/female/juvenile versions of the model and put them in different poses and then export them as a scenery items and place them in the game as a prop instead of a live animal. I think that would be awesome and a lot simpler since it wouldn't involve creating a whole new model and texture. I've never modded before and I think this could be a good way to do it. Is it possible??? There are so many species already out by Frontier or as a mod that I would love to do this for! I've already got diorama spaces for them in a museum I'm building!!! What's cool I've found too is if you place the exhibit perimeters around whatever house or building the animals can walk in and around like Night at the Museum!

Just saw Leaf's latest livestream and it looks like in early 2024 the taxidermy mod will make this exact idea a reality!!!! :D
