Can I at least keep a mallard?
No white faced whistling duck or muscovy duck or bahama duck or torrent duck or red shoveler or even a scarlet ibis
Also funfact, now that zootierliste is worldwide the jaguar slipped into the 100 slot on the most held animals list and the 4. most common large cat just barely after tigers. Cougars also made a large surge now being the second most common and lions got boosted from 58 to 44. Just thought thats neat
I’ll take the white faced whistling duck and scarlet ibis where do I pay frontier?
I'm going to guess the grey seal will have to move to make space for the four breeds of livestock that will end up on the British mainland.
I mean we have Bactrian Camels and Llamas on the map
Put them all on South America.
It has to be somehow filled out.
You could put them where the breed originated from
Yeah, I say follow the lead of the llama and camels and put them where the breed's from. Really highlight the needlessly European-centric nature of the breeds selected. Either that, or remove the llama and camels as well. But I like the first one better.
Edit: Although... the llama and camels are a bit different because they are species in their own right, not just breeds as most of these are. I suppose an argument could be made that the alpaca alone should be treated the same way as our previous camelids, and the others either get excluded or placed near the origin point of their initial domestication. But I still think using the breed's origin point is probably the most consistent approach.

There are cool non-European picks sure, but I wouldn't say it was "needlessly" Euro-centric. Shetland Pony, Belgian Rabbit and something similar could boost this pack nicely while still being European
With this dlc, we officially have more european animals than SA animals.
Don't know how to feel about it

Origin of the breed or original domestication of the species. Four on Britain, one on the French Alps (pretty much overlapping with the ibex), the alpaca a bit north of the llama. The American standard donkey is basically impossible to determine because it's not a proper breed and donkeys were introduced to the New World in several waves, though the least worst option might be in Arizona, where they were first brought into the modern United States from Mexico (then both under Spanish rule).
I agree with you, those would be good European picks in the same way that the highland cattle is a good European pick (fwiw I'm not particularly interested in the cattle and wouldn't be in the pony but I can still acknowledge that they are/would be "good" picks). So the fact that the pig and goat in particular (and arguably the chicken and sheep, although I'm not as fussed there) are European varieties when there exist substantially better alternatives from elsewhere is just bizarre and frustrating.
This was my exact thought. Eh I guess O can just put them on the slots I reserved for monkeys.
You did what and for who XD?
Yeah more just UK centric
I agree with this. If we had gotten Kunekune pig, it would've gone on New Zealand, right? I don't see why breed should work differently from species or subspecies for mapping.
