I’ve had read through over the two you’ve screenshoted above and have one suggestion - how about including information that’s specific to the species in Zoo Tycoon 2?

Examples include:

How many hours of game play they live.

Species that have colour/appearance morphs e.g. African wild dog, elephants, Bengal tiger.

Social groupings e.g. Adult Secretary birds will kill unrelated birds, unless it’s their mate, so will female wolves and most male carnivores re. unrelated same sex exhibit mates.

Management tips e.g. how to sterilise a female (crate her when her current activity is: going to give birth/giving birth); how to make a male gibbon mate with multiple females.

Idiosyncrasies e.g. guests frequently end up in the Ethiopian wolf exhibit when there’s pups; elephants have a high incidence of sterilising themselves; Velociraptor need a crèche to prevent exhaustion of hatchlings (they try to run as a pack and always end up unhappy).
