Spectacled Bear adds more to the game than the Sloth bear. They both are from unrepresentative areas but one is a lot more common in zoos and is different than the rest of the bears we have. Sloth bear looks very close to the Formosan.

Oceania, despite having half as many animals, was more diverse than arid taxonomically, climatically, behaviourally, and even geographically. This pack, whilst it’s never going to be my favourite (since I mostly build in warmer climate areas) looks….. ok (depending what other animals we get). Doesn’t contribute to filling the most needed gaps (birds, monkeys, SA) but the last few packs have been warmer-climate, so I’m ok with the change in pace. Maybe I’ll give a colder-climate zoo a go…Yeah because Oceania was
They were brothers, Loki and Thor.That's cool! Its sad when an animal you care for passes...Do you know his or her name?
Identical? Naur, similar? Yea true, but is it another Indian animal? Yup. Will it look better than the Sun bear? Very likely
The animal version of Japan
So is South America.
Both are good
Anyway I'm not going to pretend there's some great argument for why the sloth bear should've gotten the nod over the ABB or spectacled bear. It was my least wanted bear, after all. But that's not to say I didn't want it, I've been a strong advocate for all 8 bears (+HBB, I guess) since around the time we got the sun bear. If there's one group that feels warranted being included in full beyond Panthera, it's the bears. They're all good inclusions.
Okay so to recap:
Bad:
- Animal that looks like no other currently in the game and covers a very unique biome with a large range that can not be better represented then with them, while also elevating two other animals in the game as now the 3 main hitters for the central asian steppe are in the game. Also a major conservation icon and iconic for the northern parts of eurasia

Good:
- Floof
- Has 2 alternatives in the game that are better then it and 2 alternatives to add that are leagues better then it
- Also Floof
That’s literally brown. And btw why do you want wisent more than takin?
Pls dont do me like that, im okay with the bisent but the takin is literally the only thing in this pack above a 6/10 for me
For context, the sloth bear has a 1/10, the saiga a 4/10 and wolverine the 6/10
I mean, in my opinion, those pics are still a stretch to be called golden. But that sentence in last picture is worth keeping in mind if anything
Animal ratings (imo of course):
- Takin 10/10
- Wolverine 8/10
- Saiga 3/10
- Sloth Bear 1/10 (completely useless to me)
It’s quite literally more gold than three out of four takin species. It is often described as brown to gold.
And in rehards to why I want it more than Takin, it’s personal preference. They’re much more common here in the UK than Takin. Additionally, they go better with the Ice Age/Pleistocene descendants theme which was what was being discussed here.
