zoortierliste is a good guide for what is common in zoos but it is not definitive and should not be treated as such animal that are really common in europe such as the wild cat will appear as really common but they may only be common in europe and the reverse is also true. Its good when used appropriately which isnt always the case.
I hate that this idea is actually getting traction.
There are 3 reasons im not a fan of the idea one because it would mean suddenly peoples himalayan brown bear habitats would no longer have that bear in it which yes the biome and continent would still be fine but if the did any theming based on the fact that it is from the himalayas it will now no longer make sense and will have to be redone as well as any custom signs or info boards. The second reason is that switching the bear will just cheapen the existence of both bears as individuals and assign each a value. Lastly if they replace one animal what is stopping them from doing it again this idea will undoubtedly create a toxic atmosphere around replacing animals with others in the game.
Personally I think its unfair that the himalayan bear gets so much hate just because it isnt the eurasian brown bear leave the poor thing alone dont blame it for frontiers decisions.
