Clone Packs

[AlexSea]

Considering that the majority of these animals would only need a retexture and maybe a slight remodel, why not make it bigger than a standard animal pack with 12 animals?

1. Dromedary Camel (Bactrian Camel)
2. Nile Crocodile (Saltwater Crocodile)
3. Red Fox (Arctic Fox)
4. Blue-Eyed Black Lemur (Red Ruffed Lemur)
5. Masai Giraffe (Reticulated Giraffe)
6. Sumatran Rhinoceros (Indian Rhinoceros)
7. Scimitar Oryx (Gemsbok)
8. Perentie (Nile Monitor)
9. American Black Bear (Formosan Black Bear)
10. Southern Rockhopper Penguin (African Penguin)
11. American Flamingo (Greater Flamingo)
12. Dama Gazelle (Thomson's Gazelle)

Here's my opinion. Do whatever you want with it. I think true "clones" as in nothing new other than skin color or pattern, would NOT be beneficial to the game. That would just be adding animals for the sake of adding animals. If they were similar to existing animals, while still having slightly different models and mechanics would be a good addition. Things like cougars, leopards, white/black rhinos, new species of lemur, etc. would be great to have. Similar, but distinct at the same time. Things like more tiger subspecies (I agree that having pure Bengals and Siberians is unrealistic, but I'd honestly rather they'd been the only kind of tiger from the beginning than bother with putting them in now), Grévy's zebra, Masai giraffe, and others aren't really necessary.

I wasn't aware most zoos had hybrid tigers. Would that be true of the Amur tigers at the Bronx Zoo as well (they're an AZA and SSP accredited zoo, which I'd hope that breeding hybridized animals would result in you losing that accreditation, I know intentionally breeding for albinism does)? I'm trying to find out and can find no information either way.
