Arid animal errors

While playing today I have noted that my new animals do not like any of the foliage despite being African desert biome.
I think for the color change for the staff, there should be a window showing you the color change
Also Addax don’t get an enrichment with schimitars, they are both found in Chad correct?
Anyone note any other errors?
I know the camels are invasive to Australia but shouldn’t they get some enrichment with any of our true Australian animals or at least be on the range map Australia?

Indian Peafowl and Green Iguana also don't have Florida on the Map, so I assume they only want to include the natural Range

Currently an animals range is pink on the map. It'd be cool of they added an introduced range 8m yellow or something on that screen. I mean, I have seen a lot of camels as well as Fallow deer in Australia that they practically just feel like natives now.

Addaxs and Somali wild asses benefit from sharing spaces with each other even though they weren't native to the same countries. Addaxs live only in Niger and Chad while Somali wild asses don't live there. Was that considered error? That's like Galapagos giant tortoise, being an only Galapagos island species in Planet Zoo, having compatibility with cabybaras that lived in mainland which is South America.

It seems like the addax was present in all the Sahara, which included Sudan and Egypt. The Somali wild ass is a subspecies of the African wild ass, which also had a much bigger range than today. So they don't coexist in the nature at the moment, but probably did so before. But I need to agree, capybara and giant tortoise doesn't seem to make a lot of sense...

It's the wrong species of porcupine - Cape porcupine range overlaps with meerkat, but African crested doesn't.

After having Capybara enriching Tortoise and Llama, I do not think ecaxt location really matters that much for interspecies enrichment.

It should be mentioned that there have been a few occasions where meerkats have killed young porcupines when sharing an enclosure, so the mix is only 'safe' if the porcupines are non-breeding animals.

I guess that is always a risk to combine animal species, but we already have Red River Hogs and Chimpanzees, which sometimes prey on the R.R. Hog piglets in the wild.

Considering those two points, I think Porcupine x Meerkat enrichment bonus would be consistent with the game. It is a very common mix in real life. And yes, I know we can technically combine them, but I would still like that enrichment bonus be applied.

Why? Their in-game ranges don't overlap at all.
