I think after a certain amount of time, your animals should get "used" to certain things. Wider paths might be a solution (do not disturb signs might work, but that is so not realistic I've been to countless zoos, and see those signs in nocturnal houses, reptile/invertebrate houses, or indoor viewing areas, but never have I heard of a herd species being particularly bothered by crowd noise).Įven if this is a feature, I would say it's a bit buggy. I wondered if crowd congestion was somehow causing the animals stress, as the viewing platforms I had weren't enormous but were jam-packed with people. In any case I deleted that zoo to start a new one (and got hit with a crash again, also for apparently no reason), as I tend to do when I feel like I'm getting better at using a certain feature, so maybe this time I'll try a few more things. No prpoblem with the zebras or giraffes next door, but the nyala, ostriches, springbok, and wildbeest that share their habitats just keep freaking out for no reason. It's almost as though it's only the "small" animals (except the wildebeest). The warthogs are in a habitat not at all dissimilar to the cheetah and aardvarks and their stress is fine. My Siberian tigers are relatively exposed and haven't complained once (guests can even see into the front of their cave). It only seems to affect certain animals, too.
One thing I considered - I have those educational speakers underneath each one of my education boards, and they produce sound could this be a problem? There social needs are otherwise fine, it's just the stress. The one-way glass fix worked with my cheetah and aardvark, but my springbok and wildebeest are still going nuts. I have two hard shelters, neither of which is within the guest line of sight, and I already put a lot of the enrichment behind the rock formation (and the food and water inside one of the hard shelters). The guests literally have a single overhead viewing platform but their view of the back of the habitat is obscured by a large rock formation. Well, this is a big savannah exhibit, with wildebeest, zebra, and springbok in it.
