What kind of zoo to make?

[FunViolence]

Hi I am currently playing in the skull and shackles campaign and we just got done taming the island and completely owning everything. Our DM has told us he plans on letting us go all out so get as crazy as we like. In the spirit of this he gave us each a personal wish and five minor wishes that had to help the zoo.

My personal wish I can now use dominate monster once a day with my rod of animal training and with my other wishes I have a 100000 gold budget to buy animals with and a 25000 gold budget for supplies to build a badass zoo. What animals would you buy. I will take all practical and fun ideas. I have an entire crew retrofitted to help tame them so training is fine and we have many pions to build for us. Let me hear some of your ideas.

Jurassic Park. Seriously, you did not start with this?

Megafauna are nice too, but come on, JURASSIC PARK!!! They are even pretty cheap (top price is 11k for old spinesaurus out of animal archive)

Awaken is also a great tool. Especially if the GM rules a mated pair of awakened Deinonychus produce awakened children. Allows you to have handlers in the exhibits without them being obvious to the guests.

Yeah, I've gotta go with Dafydd on this too. Sure, having Awakened Dinosaurs just screams catastrophic failure at some point in the future, but it's just too awesome to pass up the chance.

Nature always finds a way. In this case, the way is somebody who thought Awakening the raptors would be a good idea.

I arrived at this topic feeling that I had to suggest Jurassic Park if no one else had.

Very pleased to see that I was not the first one.

Don't awaken the raptor's though, go for flying dinosaurs instead and find some way to make them relay telepathic messages about the ongoings in the park. Flying scouts/security cameras are very useful.

Jurassic park is a great path to consider. The cool thing is the island has a large surplus of Dinosaurs already. Before we even finished I was able to get two Triceratops and a Trex ready to go. And there are dozens more dinosaurs ready for the taking.

Here is the lists of animals I already have from my previous purchases and hunts if you will.

2 Dire Tigers
50 Messenger pigeons
1 Elephant
1 Dire Shark
4 Dire Bats
2 Dire Apes
5 Eagles
5 Great Horned Owls
5 Dire wolves
1 Small Cats cheetahs and leopards
10 dolphins
1000 rats
2 Triceratops
1 Trex

Here is the list of animals I am asking for with my $100000 worth of wish. I will include price and you guys can look at it and see what is worth keeping or exchanging.

3 Rocs 21000.00
10 Dire Bats 3000.00
100 Falcons 4000.00
10 Giant Chameleon 2250.00
10 dire wolves 3800.00
40 eagles 4000.00
40 dolphins 4200.00
1 Blue Whale 12500.00
1 Great White Whale 12600.00
5 Orca 6750.00
100 Owls 1000.00
10 Dire Tigers 10550.00
2 Giant Anaconda 12600.00
50 Pigs 500.00
12 Cattle 650.00

This all comes to 100000 even. Now remember the island already has a lot of dinosaurs so outside of that please. What ideas do you guys have to improve this list. I love the awakened idea. Has a lot of potential. Gives the animals a whole lot more value and utility so long as they have been treated right. I also realized with this zoo it makes for rampant abuse of spells like magic jar lol. Thanks for the help.
