🐾 Planet Zoo - Update 1.9 coming 12 April 🐾

Totally up for these and also 2 new variations for the gray wolf: black and white, especially now that we know the code has been updated to handle multiple color mutations
Yes please Melanistic Greywolves are such a big wish for me, the canines hardly got any good variants in the game, would also love proper white and black dingos (who can appear as full wild)
also i very much want King Cheetah and Melanistic Zebra.
 
I don't tend to agree with that. Just any random screenshot of a group of macaques shows little to no difference.

Variants are cool, and I certainly do think there's still room for some extras (golden tabby tiger, king cheetah, ...), but shouldn't be introduced for the sake of it, especially in animals that you in real life can hardly tell the difference of.
There's definitely a visible Difference between individual Japanese Macaques

I'd be happy though if we would at least get a Variation like the one on the first Picture

Also, this is so cute😍

Actually being able to see the whole spectrum of dingo coats would encourage me to actually use them.
I love keeping Dingos in Planet Zoo (even though they are currently only kept in my Wolf Park, my Dingo Breeding Center in Thailand and in my australian Zoo) and I'd absolutely love more Color Variations like the black and tan one for Example
 
The actual updates always include more than what's shown in the preview, often including things that have been highly requested (rope, eggs, search features, flexicolor walls, just to name a few recent ones). So I would not at all be surprised to see additional shops and color variations appear when we go live, as things that we've seen previously and so just didn't get mentioned.

A lot of people have speculated (including based on found evidence) that this will be a tropical or rain forest pack. I'll certainly love such a pack if so, and think it's a near certainty that we'll see a pack like that at some point. Part of me is still hoping that we will see birds soon though, since my thought is that once they're introduced we can get a bird or two in each pack that follows, allowing us to fill out the roster much more than if they come nearer to the end. But I'll still be extremely excited if it's tropical or rain forest this time.
 
I'm going to assume the answer is "no" since I can't find anything about it... but do we have any idea yet when the live stream is supposed to be? I missed the NA one and came in on the Europe one partway through and I imagine I would've much preferred getting the slow tease alongside everyone else instead of coming in after it was already clear it was a beaver/lynx.

I hope they'll post something about noon GMT today about the timing. A bit more in advance would be helpful though, yes. If I remember correctly the last stream was around 7 pm or something?

I'm a bit confused about this part here. Wasn't this already a thing ingame?
Hello hello, I'm back from the weekend and able to shine some light on this for you! Hope you had a good weekend 💚

While the 1.8 update brought the functionality of webcams being able to be hooked up to billboards, 1.9 will make it so that guests will actively view an animal via the billboard screen, allowing them to fulfil their "see this species" wishes and still consider themselves as having seen a good view of the animal even if it was viewed via screen 😊
 
They already come in 3 different colors if I'm not mistaken
I thought to have one with brighter Fur once but I think it was just because of the Lighting. If there are really already Variations for them, they almost look the same. At least I don't notice any Differences in my Macaque Groups

Does this mean what I think it does? We can have big habitats and the guests can see the animals via the webcams? WOW!

holding my breath incase I'm being too eager and misinterpreting your post
