This is calling for a second trash panda rebellion
Count me in ! I'm still crossing my fingers for the inclusion of these guys in the game. Would love coatis too.This is calling for a second trash panda rebellion
YesI do have to ask tho does a urban or even a cities pack relate to zoo tho? I’m not against it by no means as I’ve stated in earlier posts im all in with planet zoo and will buy every dlc. But in terms of future packs do they really stack up to desert, tropics, oceana, or forests. I guess that’s why I don’t really buy into the nocturnal pack hype as most can be equally at home in other packs. I still can’t really rule out a aves pack either tbh as the mechanics already exist from two previous frontier titles.
I think the fact that they are kept more often in zoos in Europe is born out of necessity.I find it really interesting that they are so popular in Europe. I hope they do well in captivity there. They are kind of cute, so I don't think I would hate them, but there are many animals, such as the striped skunk, that I would pick instead. I respect the community's preference for them. It's a little mind-blowing that they are so loved there; whereas if they were exhibited here in a zoo that did not focus exclusively on native wildlife, I think people would actually be a bit angry ... or find it funny.
I feel the exact same way! If we got them in a pack, I’d definitely use them in some of my zoos, but they would not be a MUST HAVE and would certianly not be the sole reason I bought a pack. I think the Striped Skunk is so much more charismatic and interesting as a small mammal from North America (just an opinion), and even when talking about procyonidae, I’d prefer to see a coati or kinkajou! That having been said, I definitelt would not be mad or confused at their inclusion - they are fantastic, adorable little characters!I find it really interesting that they are so popular in Europe.

While true, most racoons in captivity were not born in captivity, atleast in germany.It should perhaps be noted that, while raccoons are currently common in European zoos, there are now laws banning their breeding in captivity in any EU zoo and the EAZA are planning a studbook specifically for the purposes of reducing their captive population in favour of threatened species. They may be regular at the moment, but it's unlikely to remain that way in the future.
You could say that about kangaroos in Australia...I'm sorry, but I don't think we should get them. Like paul said, they're considered a pest over here in the states, and I can't remember a zoo I've gone to that had them. They're also kind of boring tbh. That's the same reason I was against the inclusion of the European Badger.
