** "Stress" can take a perfectly happy animal content with it's environment and ''tank'' it's welfare rating. All stats contribute to an animal's welfare, including how recently it's been fed, environmental concerns, number of animals in the social group, and if it has enrichment items available. While a decrease in one of these usually is bad, it only takes a small portion out of the total welfare and can be remedied quickly. Stress is different; even if all other stats are high and taken care of, stress will lower the animal's welfare rating into the red if not to 0. And since the most common cause of stress is the animal not having a place to hide, it may take a while before enough guests get to the exhibit and you'll ignore it long enough for the game to sound the alarm that the animal's welfare is poor. Thankfully that is fixed with bushes or building a walled shelter, but there are very few indicators that a species will be shy enough to necessitate watching the stress rating.

** How subtle is the implementation? You probably have to watch an exhibit for close to an hour to really catch the difference between two animals' personalities. Which, due to time as explained in ScrappyMechanic, means doing almost 4 years in-game of nothing to the park.

You can't just fix these by placing more path over them, you have to delete the section of path and try again. It's also often hard to run a path up or down a slope, often requiring careful fiddling with the terrain smoother before it will allow a path there.

** The path system is probably the most criticized mechanic. While it can work ok for just a basic, simple path, it's surprising difficult and/or unintuitive to do more involved things like make a large, wide square section or a plaza. It's prone to creating "malformed path parts" when doing various things, which are ugly gaps created where the paths failed to connect properly.

** Polar bears (from the Arctic DLC) initially required an absurdly large exhibit size, more so than an ''herd of elephants'' need, to the point people were speculating that there was a typo or other mistake in the coding. The size requirements, while intentional, were heavily reduced later in a patch to appease annoyed players. [[note]] WordOfGod explained the reason for this was they are intended to be challenging, and also for the game's goal of supporting animal welfare; in real life, there is a controversy about just how much space real polar bears need to have in zoos to be happy; they have large territories in the wild, and spend much of their time roaming over large distances.[[/note]]
