Two can play this gameSpot the difference!
I know though, they look kinda similar, but I'd still love a third species of Elephant in the game. It'd be a great BIG star of the pack African leopards are one of the least common leopard subspecies in captivity. The Big Five is also an outdated concept not really relevant to zoos.
"Least common in captivity" =/= should never be featured in Planet Zoo. I'm sure there are plenty of animals already in the game which you don't see as often in zoos IRL.
There are a bunch of leopard subspecies more suitable for Planet Zoo. The Amur and the Persian (or Arabian, one of the two) are both more frequent in captivity than the African and far more significant to global conservation efforts. The Sri Lankan and North Chinese leopards are also more endangered and more common in captivity.
I never said other leopard subspecies couldn't be represented as well. We already have both the Siberian and Bengal tiger subspecies, for example. I just would like an African leopard to complete any African rainforest section I might build in my zoos, since they are the apex predator in Africa's rainforest regions like I said (lions aren't going to cut it since they don't live in the rainforest). Or, alternatively, I might want an African leopard because I'd like to have all the iconic African Big Five in my zoo. It's not like there's zero demand or zero utility for the African subspecies whatsoever.
There's another reason I want to mention:
Either the African Leopard or The Indian Leopard is ok with me, if you think about it, the Indian Leopard looks like the African Leopard except it’s coat is little bit darker than the African Leopard, I’m not trying to be mean but I agree with you an African Leopard would be a welcome addition to Planet Zoo or the Indian Leopard
Plus in my home state we have a safari called Hollywild and look at what they have as one of the animals
