More ungulates

EXTN Dhole

Is it just me or do others feel we need more ungulates. I may just be being biased but I love ungulates and having mixed species enclosures. When looking at actual zoological facilities, it is common to see so many animals kept with ungulates. We have a fair amount of African ungulates but where are the asiatic ungulates? Below is my idea of some ungulates that could be cool and used in interspecies enclosures (I know some have mods but I don't really want to use mods) :

Asia -
Blackbucks
Axis Deer
Przewalski's Wild Horse
Chital Deer
Banteng
Gaurs
Takin
Goral
Urial
Persian Onager
Markhor
Serow
Sika Deer
Sambar Deer
Nilgai
Argali
Hog Deer
Eld's Deer
Wild Yak

Africa -
Dama Gazelle
Gerenuk
Kudu
Somali Wild Ass
Red River Hog
Sitatunga
Waterbuck
Steenbok
Klipspringer
Rhebok

Let me know what you think. Have you got any suggestions?

Uh yes, give me all the ungulates! From all over the world please. European ungulates for a first, because I can't have European sections in my zoo without mods right now. I want official European content, thanks! Red deer, fallow deer, roe deer, wild boar, moose, ibex, chamois, konik horse, wisent, musk ox, Caucasian tur, kulan...

Outside of North America, which has several I'd like to see, there's the Markhor, Red River Hog, Alpine Ibex and Wild Boar.....granted, ungulates in general, but especially the antelopes are not heavy on my list of wants.

The main group of ungulates I want to see more of are the small ungulates, as these tend to be fairly versatile in how they can be housed with many of them suitable for mixed enclosures and walkthrough displays. There are lots of species to choose from such as duikers, dik-diks, steenbok, pudu, muntjacs, chevrotains, Chinese water deer and klipspringers; any one of those would be appreciated greatly by me.

Special mention goes to the pygmy hog - it's the world's smallest wild pig which is kept in at least one public zoo (Assam State Zoo in India), has been kept and bred in at least a couple of European zoos in the past (London and Zurich, that I know of) and they are bred in large numbers at specialist breeding facilities for release into the wild. I think it is at one of these breeding facilities where this footage from Planet Earth was actually filmed. Although it's not a widespread species, they are definitely one of my favourite ungulates and would, I think, be a great addition to the game.

Oh my God. They are absolutely adorable 😍 still prefer the Wild Boar but they might be a really nice Surprise after we got Wild Boar. Maybe they could do something like a Pack with Animals that are rare in Captivity

Ungulates are my favorite type of animals in the game, and honestly I feel like they are represented well, especially when compared to other types of animals (cough cough primates). I think Africa is pretty well fleshed out with ungulates, although there are a few more I would like to see from this continent...

  • Kudu/Eland
  • Blue Wildebeest
  • Dama Gazelle
  • Scimitar Horned Oryx
  • Addax
  • Nubian Ibex
  • Gerenuk

As far as other continents go, here are some more...

North America:
  • Roosevelt Elk/whatever species
  • Moose
  • White Tailed Deer
  • Desert Bighorn Sheep

Asia:
  • Prezwalski's Wild Horse
  • Gaur
  • Ibex
  • Markhor
  • Takin

In my opinion, the game severely lacks Asian hoof stock. I think we should get more species like:

Blackbuck
Pere David’s Deer
Nilgai
Yak
Red Deer
Przewalski’s Horse
Takin
Markhor
Gaur
Himalayan Tahr

Definitely. Most important to me on this List would be Père David's Deer, Red Deer (I think the Asian ones are a different Species from the European one but might also be that both live in Asia), Przewalski's Horse and the Gaur
