Animals get exchanged or change their sex and other attributes! Anybodyelse experienced this?

[peon2t]

I'm wondering if anybody else experiences this carzy kind of things that I've submitted to the bug tracker here.

I've actually just hat the situation that my buffalo habitat "changed" from 2 FEMALE / 0 MALE to 1 FEMALE / 1 MALE. I'm not crazy, I'm 100% sure about that one because I closely monitored the buffalo-market to get a male and then suddenly saw that one of my females had turned into a male...

In this case this was very lucky since I bought the two females for cheap $ while the males cost several thousands of CP right now. But I also had situations where I feel that animals in my zoo got "exchanged" in a way that was less favorable.

For example I've seen it dozens of times that the "heritage" of animals changed... meaning that they became attribute to my zoo when in fact I bought them in and also the other way round.
I'm also pretty sure I had situations where I could sell animals for CP that I bought for $ - and the other way round: that I couldn't sell animals that I breed in my zoo for CP, because the game said that I bought them for $....

That's maybe the craziest and most disturbing sort of bug that I'm experiencing. (Unfortunately by far not the only one. Why do guests not enter my gondula? Will we ever know?)

I have a similar problem tho. I had flamingo babys with bronze that got the bronze removed when they grew up? Got quite confused since I rename my animals and add the grade of the animal after their name to better monitor them.

That happens to me quite often when they grow up they like drop 1 grade, had many Gold tigers drop to silver, happens with almost every animal. Maybe they just get a bit more "unattractive" when they grow up so it Drops down.
Never had that they changed Gender though^^

Thank you for your replies. However this thread is not about animals changing their attractivity (which I consider a normal mechanic of the game?) - it's about animals that change "attributes" that should be unchangeable. Like sex/gender. (I mean at least in a zoo game... don't want to dictate any human being anything about his gender.)
It might even be the case that those animals got exchanged completely (I can't always keep track of all the names...)

Nope, not on my side.

Actually the medals are supposed to be based on genetics and therefore should not change.

I thought I'd been smoking too much when I bought a female and a male appeared in my trade center. Only happened the once though.

I haven't seen animals' sex changing but I reported a related issue with animals medals' disappearing or being downgraded in the trading centre a couple of months ago, during the beta. Unfortunately it is still set to 'confirming' on the issue tracker, suggesting nobody has looked at it yet. I still get this all the time - I would say most of my animals in my old zoo get downgraded when in the trade centre. If anyone wants to add a confirmation and thereby hopefully increase the priority of the issue, it's here.

There seem to be different bug reports about the issue you describe, since I've already confirmed another bug report that describes the same issue.

So yes: It's a major bug. But not as crazy as mine, where the animals seem to be exchanged completely.
