African animals I think should be added

[bensonlewis]

I currently volunteer at a zoo which has most if not all of these animals and so I already have lots of videos and photos etc of them if that helps.

Drill- A very endangered primate closely related to Mandrill however very different looking. I would personally love it if drill were added both because of how endangered they are and because they are my favourite animal.

Congo Buffalo/Dwarf Forest Buffalo- A very beautiful looking buffalo which has an orange and black appearance with some being more orange than others.

Rock Hyrax- They are medium sized terrestrial mammals with incredible climbing abilities because of their specially adapted feet. They are not endangered but would make a very good addition to an African themed park.

King Colobus Monkey- Black and white primates that are currently endangered. They live in groups of 3-4 females and 1-3 males as well as their young however these numbers are usually lower in captivity.

Yellow Mongoose- These can be housed in mixed exhibits with meerkats and they are very similar in behaviour.

Bat-Eared fox- These guys would fill a similar gap to the Hyrax and are incredibly interesting animals.

Serval- A medium sized cat with a spotted orange coat with exceptional climbing abilities.

All in all I would love for these to be added but I would be so happy if the Drill were added as they are so unique and yet not many people know of them.

I don't agree with the drill. Never understood the appeal of the drill. Is just a duller mandrill. But i understand you wanting them since they are your favorite animals.

There are a bunch of African animals i still want: greater kudu, gerenuk, eland, grey crowned crane, secretary bird, helmeted guineafowl, marabou stork, red flanked and zebra duiker, kirk's dik dik, ellipsean waterbuck, serval, honey badger, aye-aye, mantled guereza, de brazza's monkey, vervet monkey, Diana monkey, patas monkey, hamadryas and olive baboon, bat eared fox and aardwolf. And of course chameleons, cobra, rock pythons.

I think drill would fill a gap as there aren't many primates in the game and they would fill the gap of a bigger looking but medium sized primate which there aren't many others that would be able to other than Gelada and other larger baboons. Also I think there behaviour would be different as well as they are a lot more human like in the way they sit and act.

Aye-Aye and Coquerel's Sifaka are definitively better with more distinctive characteristics

Most players seem to prefer species that common in real-life zoos so that they can replicate the real zoos more easily, few people like me are outlier who prefer unusual and bizzare species

It depends on how much you know about animals and how much you like animals but just because it's name is similar doesn't mean it shouldn't be added. It's also undeniable that they would fill a gap as well as add another primate which the game is very low on.

I agree with those two but I think that the game needs more primates even with those two and Drill would fit differently to how these two would.

Drill has no place in the game, Gelada, or Hamadryas Baboon are much more needed and special, Sifaka, Aye-Aye, Spider-M Howler Monkey are also more welcome

Same with the afri-leopard, ocelot, serval, fishing cat, or pallas cat is where the cat family is left

You shouldn't have one animal or two for each gap that needs filling though and Drill are unique enough to have a place in the game as well as the fact that it is an animal and this is an animal game. Also species aren't more special than each other, the aye-aye is a unique but doesn't mean it should be in the game over anything else which is 'less' unique.

They should as support is gonna end, and while the drill and clone leopard are 2 seconds of work for modders, things like gelada and ocelot are much harder to create

I didn't mention earlier but this list is for both planet zoo and also what I want to see in the next installment as I'm pretty sure the last dlc or dlcs would have already been decided by now.
