The nilgai in every Zoo, I love them-
Tanuki uh I dont know, well it looks good, but not that interested in them, so maybe?
Once again, thank you Frontier! I feel like a lot of people will realize how unique the nilgai is now and why it was so worth it to include it in the game!
Honestly, this time it feels like they're taking a different approach, by showing the animals we haven't seen yet first.
Sure, they posted the honey badger first of all, but it makes sense since it's the headliner of the pack. Then they revealed the Tanuki and the Nilgai, both of which weren't in the trailer.
Hopefully tomorrow we'll see Blackbuck or Père David's Deer (I wanna see the male)
In fact, I am worried that the head of nilgai is too small and the neck of male is too thick. The head of nilgai, whether male or female, is very "long and narrow" when viewed from the side. Some widely circulated pictures are often some "special individuals" or "photographic techniques". Of course, all this will only be known when you buy it.

Nilgai aren't exactly gracile antelope
In terms of distribution, although the distribution of blackbuck and Nilgai overlaps with that of the greater one-horned rhino, they prefer completely different environments. The former two prefer dry and open areas, which is why they live so well in Texas (LOL). Among them, Nilgai relies on vision to observe potential threats, while the greater one-horned rhino must move around in places with water in most cases, such as places with tall grass by the lake in protected areas in India and Nepal, which is very comfortable for the greater one-horned rhino, but very deadly for Nilgai, who often fail to see potential threats (such as Bengal tigers) and are hunted. But I don’t think it’s necessary to be so strict in zoos, especially in pz, after all, we don’t have white-spotted deer.
If you are asking whether there are such examples in real zoos, I remember that the Tiergarten Schönbrunn in Austria kept them together. And in the San Diego Safari Park, they seem to have been kept together for quite a long time.

That looks incredible! Almost exactly like the Nilgai that I have seen irl.
We better get enrichment between these 2, or else we riot threw the streets,
WHO IS WITH ME!
The ingame model looks better than the real animalOne of my most anticipated animals, and I think they truly nailed it. I love the detail of the bull's mane draping over his back!
Nilgai are also just super dimorphic IRL
How there you say that about those beautiful, not so little guys, they look like what would happen if a Duiker and Eland had a baby
Their scientific name literally means "cow-deer goat-camel"
Vienna.
The horse and the Bisons are crazy options lol, gotta try this in Planet Zoo one day
