I should haved explained myself better
.
I get it when its way too impractical to keep in a zoo like the great white or when its extremely cruel to the animal like orcas.The "Not in captivity, not in the game" community.
I understand that a Kakapo or a Great White Shark cannot be in a real zoo, but that's the point, It's a freacking game, not the reality. This is not the real life, this is a game, for the love of god. The "They aren't in captivity", or "They cannot be added because they are so threatened in real life and you disrespect them" makes me angry like nothing can make me.
No, which is why I think - as I have stated more than once in the last two days - they will fold it into a "Polar Animal Pack" since the Continental and Polar biomes skirt each other so closely anyway and share a ton of biodiversity.
Then why did they call it the "Arid Animal Pack" instead of the "Desert Animal Pack"? There's no "arid" biome in the game. That's the whole point - the choice of the name "Arid", especially after "Tropical", is very conspicuous and feels very deliberate, and as far as biomes go, only the Koppen climate model refers to it as "arid".
even though I did say why they may have chosen the name arid over desert how do you explain the grasslands pack then? Also the term arid is used outside of the koppen climate model especially colloquially to refer to any consistently dry or barren land irrespective of whether it falls within the arid region in the koppen model.
There's nothing to explain? The Grasslands Pack isn't relevant to this. This cycle starts with the Tropical Pack; Grasslands was last year.
Currently the only species in the game that hasn't been successfully kept in captivity is the Titan beetle, and I'm willing to bet that Frontier just googled "big beetles" when they added it to the roster without any further consideration. As far as habitat animals go it's clear that at least some captive presence is a necessary criterion. You can want what you want, but I can guarantee you most of the species that aren't in captivity that people want in the game won't make it in (including the kakapo).
There are a few zoos that house walruses, the Indianapolis Zoo, New York Aquarium, Port Defiance Zoo, San Diego and Orlando Sea Worlds.
Takes five seconds of Googling to find that out, too.
Take into account that we got grasslands pack for winter last year. I have feeling continental or polar might come first because temperate has more potential for animal choices imo.
And in Europe there is Pairi Daiza and Tierpark Hagenbeck, both very famous zoos.
Agreed… I feel like it’s due time that things get ‘mixed up’ with a non-biome, non-continental pack - see aquatic, conservation, twilight….
Wise words to live by on this forum.
Kinda hard to tell just yet. I could see it go either way, honestly.
New York Aquarium hasn’t been keeping walrus for many years.
