So, I've come to learn a bit about PZ mechanics in the short 4 months I've had it. I also love the animal choices they have (I'd prefer other species, but it's nice to see some obscure, unknown animals in the game [Formosan Black Bear, anyone?]). Anyway, I've also come to learn that in the wild, when 2 animals of the same genus but different species breed, we have a hybrid. A famous example is the red wolf/coyote hybrids, which I saw once up in Northeast Texas (it was far bigger than a coyote).
So, what if PZ added animal hybrids to the game. But they have a different format to obtaining/eliminating. You cannot release them to the wild, but you can sell them. Also, maybe they can be even more popular than basic animals. How you get them? Breeding them or buying them from other players. (Maybe the devs can add a special breeding compound for specialized breeding).
Anyway, only animals of the same genus can crossbreed. Examples include all species from the Panthera genus (lion, tiger, jaguar), the Ursus genus (polar bear, black bear, brown bear, grizzly), and the Canis genus (artic wolf, timber wolf, dingo [yes, they're all technically the same species, but until they add other members of Canis, that's all we got)
What are y'all thoughts? Would it interest y'all or not? The more important question: would it work with how the game works?
