I think of the canids Bush dog has the only real chance.
I meean..
Yeahhhhh....I meean..
They are both large pantherine cats that live solitary lives and are ambush predators, even share alot of the same range and environments.
Skeleton wise they do look basicly identical aside from one being a tad bigger
Yeah, I'm with you 100% on this one. And, arguably, this goes more for the bush dog than the bat-eared fox. Bush dogs would offer up something truly unique in terms of geographic location, shape/size, and general behaviors (what-with them swimming more than other canids). Bat-eared foxes are just super cute TBH, though the mixed-species prospects would put them in a realm similar to the maned wolf which is tempting.
Please Frontier just pick one, even one of the small fellas in the exhibit box would be very welcome
Might be a hot take but having a monitor in the exhibit would be such a disservice to it, like it is for the hermans tortoise. I kept a small monitor before and they are constantly on the move, never sitting stillPlease Frontier just pick one, even one of the small fellas in the exhibit box would be very welcome
Yeah I'd definitely still prefer a habitat monitor, the small varanids I've seen in captivity (especially spiny-tailed monitors and pygmy mulga monitors) are usually very active and habitat species are just way more engaging to have in-game of course. However, it would be better than nothing, and given Frontier have been improving the animations of animals within exhibits over the past few years maybe they could pull it off.
We have three monitor lizards as habitat animals why would the perentie or any other Oceanian monitor be any different?
I think Chudith is talking about smaller monitor species, like fit in your hand - smaller
I think having a smaller-medium sized australian monitor would be the perfect middleground for me. Something like the sand goanna maybe, bg enough to work as a habitat species but small enough to set it apart form the water, nile and komodo monitors.
First of all it's from Oceania, which has the most specious and ecologically diverse collection of monitor lizards on earth and they constitute one of the continent's most important predator groups. Secondly the perentie in particular is very different in lifestyle and niche from the monitors we have, being a terrestrial desert specialist built for speed as opposed to the semi-aquatic Asian water and Nile monitors and the gigantic Komodo dragon, all of which are quite bulky in comparison.
Oh wait I migh have completely misunderstood. I thought Nacho was asking why would any monitor be put in exhibit
On the other hand I may have completely misunderstood
, reading it again I think your interpretation makes just as much sense given Nacho's wording.
Man that kimberly rock would be so awesome to get when they update the exhibits some dayOn the other hand I may have completely misunderstood
In that case yeah, basically what Markiz said. It's very much a Hermann's tortoise situation where certain species are small enough that they wouldn't really work well as habitat animals. Obviously the perentie and other big fellas like the lace monitor or yellow-spotted monitor are not among these species.
Nono i didn't meant why getting them haha i actually want an Australian monitor. I mean why it would be in an exhibit box when the rest of the monitors we have are habitat animals.
i think we may get next dlc in AugustDanggg we already cookin' stuff for this summer
I really think the Andean Bear is better in a Mountains Pack alongside the GSNM & the Wild Yak.
I prefer the Chacoan Peccary.
