Visual indicator of partner zoo in player panel

I was watching a video and thought that it would be cool/helpfull if you could see if opponenents have a partner zoo with a particular continent.
Now you can see the total number of continent tags they have, but not if those come from sponsor, animal or partner zoo without checking their board.

Maybe something surrounding the icon, or underline the number next to the icon could show them having a partner zoo.
It's no must, but seems like an easy way to give more information at glance.

Thoughts?

But why though? For one, I'm not sure why that information would even matter. Second, in an IRL game, you would also just have to look at your opponent's board for that information.

It tells me if an animal on display can be played by opponent, or if I should worry about some of the pilfer animals.
It also tells me if I need to grab partner zoo before my opponent gets it.
In a 2 player games it's not too hard to check, but when playing 3 or 4 it can be a hasstle checking all different boards.

And IRL I can look across the table and quickly see such things, but IRL animal and research tags aren't added and put on easy display, so I guess we can also remove that information from player panel.
And income, no live income track IRL, so lets also remove that....
See what I did there :D

We already have more information available at glance, so why not offer a bit more.

Yea, no, this isn't needed at all. Just look at your opponent's board.
