Golden jackals or dholes could be in game?

Credit to Rasmus Winter for researching some of this. Thezookeeper zone newsletter showed a paw print of what could be a Golden Jackals. Some research has hinted towards a dhole but haven't been able to confirm what their paw prints look like. We can make this discussion because the middle toes are fused together. A feature that wolves do not have. We can either pass this as a forgivable mistake of a wolves poor or an intentional feature. Thoughts?

No canine has fused digits, although the jackal is I guess slightly at the base like the picture here are some references... I think they call is a cloven paw pad.

Just want to point out that fused paw pads may appear in canines through mutation as seen in some dogs.

Yeah I think from what I've read though, its a genetic thing that's why its called a cloven paw? I could be wrong though just what I researched

Just want to point out, Maned wolves are a strong possibility as well! They have the fused center pawpads and are in a lot of zoos!

Aside from their unique paws, they have a unique smell that comes from their urine! Highly compared to the smell of a skunk xD

I seen the Maned Wolf many of times at the Phoenix Zoo and I must say they do smell like a skunk.

Oh by far XD You can smell them from forever away! My boyfriend and I just went to the Toledo zoo last week and we could smell they long before we could even see the exhibit!

After the Hippo poo in the E3 trailer, now the Maned Wolf urine.
I'm so glad this game comes without smell.

Maybe a smell-o-vision unit needs to be sold as an accessory to PZ?

Don't you mean like skunk without the a

I know Blijdorp (Rotterdam) used to have regular visits from the police because there where reports of a possible illegal hemp nursery.

Too bad the animal isn't there anymore in Blijdorp. What a beautiful animal to see (if he showed himself).

Is the paw not from the African Wild Dog?

Found this about the African Wild Dog.

The African wild dog, also called Cape hunting dog or painted dog, typically roams the open plains and sparse woodlands of sub-Saharan Africa.
These long-legged canines have only four toes per foot, unlike other dogs, which have five toes on their forefeet. The dog's Latin name means “painted wolf,” referring to the animal's irregular, mottled coat, which features patches of red, black, brown, white, and yellow fur. Each animal has its own unique coat pattern, and all have big, rounded ears.
