Great job frontier! Another great pack on the way. I’m very happy with the animal selection. The lynx brings the first small cat to PZ and was quite a surprise that the Eurasian made it. I wanted this species the most but was expecting the Iberian tbh. The alpine ibex was a must imo. The badger is another surprise and a good one at that. The follow deer is a huge surprise as I like many others expected a red deer. And the fire salamander is also a great choice. Looking forward to the release on the 14th.

Thanks!This scientific paper provides the source for the 1.1 million year timing of the split between wild and domestic camels:
Mitogenome Sequencing in the Genus Camelus Reveals Evidence for Purifying Selection and Long-term Divergence between Wild and Domestic Bactrian Camels - PMC
The genus Camelus is an interesting model to study adaptive evolution in the mitochondrial genome, as the three extant Old World camel species inhabit hot and low-altitude as well as cold and high-altitude deserts. We sequenced 24 camel mitogenomes ...www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
In fact, this paper from 2009 suggests that the wild and domestic Bactrian camels may not even share a common ancestry, although it puts their split at the more recent time of 0.7 million years ago:
Monophyletic origin of domestic bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus) and its evolutionary relationship with the extant wild camel (Camelus bactrianus ferus) - PMC
The evolutionary relationship between the domestic bactrian camel and the extant wild two-humped camel and the factual origin of the domestic bactrian camel remain elusive. We determined the sequence of mitochondrial cytb gene from 21 camel samples, ...
Just watched a Video Analysis of the Trailer and I want to say that the new Path is a really great Inclusion. I like it a lot 
I checked it ingame and you are right. The zoopedia website is wrong, then https://www.planetzoogame.com/zoopediaI'm pretty sure they showed up as domesticated (tame in the German Version) before.
Can't look it up in the Game currently due to my Computer still making Problems. I hope I'll be able to fix it soon because I need the Europe Pack as fast as possible
To be clear, the Spanish Ibex is still extant. The Portuguese subspecies went extinct in 1892, and the Pyrenean subspecies went extinct in 2000. In 2003 they cloned a Pyrenean ibex, which lived for ten minutes before dying.
We'd obviously have to get a a Western, or Southeatern Iberian Ibex (The two subspecies left alive). The reason that I would prefer this, is because they would still represent the first species to ever have an ESU (Evolutionary Significant Unit (A population or subspecies)) temporarily ressurected. Thematically allows for more educational material about cloning, like the very real conversation being had about the potential use of cloning in breeding programs, and endangered species plans to preserve genetic material.
Sigh... I really, really hoped we'd get the Wolverine this time... but my goodness are those too precious.Here, badger pups for everyone while we wait.
Exactly my brother. The wolverine must have its day in the sun! But the badger is way to cute to be mad at
That is the Badger enclosure I think, in other animals there is a burrow visible
Did anyone else notice the Guest Gate in the lower right of this part of the trailer (Sorry, I don't know how to crop the image).
I'm assuming it's for the Fallow Deer.
Yay for the first unseen animal!

Ayyy shout out to my boi! I think that’s a new temperate exhibit!
Tomorrow we get fallow deer!
Deer, badger, ibex
It looks like the Tropical exhibit, the one with the big tree in the middle
Ayy, looks splendid, love it !
Looks amazing!
