Also the two camels, which still aren't able to be used in walkabout habitats despite being domesticated
Just because something is domesticated, doesn't mean it can't cause harm. Most places in EU probably wouldn't let their keepers enter without wearing safety shoes.

I haven't been to any zoo where camels or dromeraries were housed in walk-in enclosures. Maybe it's a regional thing?
Cool, the highland cattle are equally dangerous with their big horns and yet nobody has problems with them being fully interactive. Any animal can be dangerous in some capacity, but some are still safer than others. I'd much rather be around a dromedary camel, a species completely accustomed to people, than a caribou and especially a giant anteater.
That they have messed it up for some species, shouldn't mean they should mess it up for even more
My point is that camels are of similar threat to species where people have no issue with them being walkabout animals. Nobody had any issues when they updated the caribou from making guests flee to fully interactive in a single update.
Reminds me of the walkthrough Freddy Krueger impersonater
I'm not Misses Nobody, but I DO have issues with Reindeers and Highland Cattle being Walkthrough. Let alone Anteaters, Racoons etc.
Frontier is just very deaf on that ear. And as @SalamAnders said just because they mess it up with some speies doesn't mean they should do it with even more species. I'd rather have them do their homework on animal behaviour propperly. That includes but is not limited to level of danger to guests.
Wait! I thought they just meant the leopard sitting on the logs. I have never seen that animation with one hanging paw on the Amur leopard either! That's so cool! Is there anything in particular that triggers that behaviour?
have logs
The one in your pic seems bigger that the climbing structure logs I normally use. Maybe that's why. I'll try with different logs then. Thanks! And remember there's always place for a beautiful leaf in my logs
Amur Leopards do the resting animations on the normal climbing logs since they were added.The one in your pic seems bigger that the climbing structure logs I normally use. Maybe that's why. I'll try with different logs then. Thanks! And remember there's always place for a beautiful leaf in my logs
I have walked among highland cattle before. They aren't any more dangerous than any other domestic breed of cattle, to be honest, but that said I've never seen them walkthrough in a zoo (though I have seen them as an animal you can hand-feed through a fence - along with Galloway cattle and zebu). Highland cattle are pretty gentle, in any case. Camels aren't, by any measure.
But yeah some of the choices made are stupid. The giant anteater and emu stick out as two obvious ones; one is so dangerous most zoos won't even allow keepers to walk with in the habitat, and the other can be found in walkthroughs all over Australasia yet isn't in the game. As for raccoons, it feels like Frontier saw one of those cutesy and ethically questionable animal cafés in Japan and just rolled with it.
May I guess when's the next pack featuring more animals? After Console Edition had all the previous packs, and there's four more packs left: Oceania, Eurasia, Barnyard and Zookeeper.
Oceania and Eurasia will probably be bundled together, dropping in Late March. Then May or later for Barnyard and Zookeeper's, varying time since those are post-season pass DLC Packs
tbh I’m fine with more allowing for walkthrough than not. Anteater absolutely shouldn’t be walkthrough though. but all domestics, including camels, should be walkthrough. same goes for allowing all domestics to pull from all continents / biomes, it only allows for greater flexibility for the user. if they don’t want it to be a walkthrough habitat they don’t need to make it one.
Dromedaries are also very occasionally present in petting zoos. Domestic Bactrians less-so, though I think part of that ties back to their weird status and conflation with the wild Bactrian species. Camels are only really aggressive when there's multiple males during their specific mating season. Beyond that, they're quite domestically docile.
