I'd argue that really it's the Carnivorans that get the bad models. Binturong, felines, bears.
Even just the three penguin species... I love how Frontier was able to make them appropriately unique in terms of behavior too. With that being said, I hope we don't get any more penguins, I'm perfectly content with what we have
I largely agree but I think a few of the base game ungulates (Bongo, Okapi, etc.) also have pretty bad models
Cough okapi cough
Really depends for me actually, like with more support id love to get another antarctic penguin. Just to have something to throw in with the king penguins as you rarely see them housed alone
absolutely devastated that the crowned pigeon didn't make the Oceania pack, would trade the penguin or quokka for it in an instant
How about Markhor, Yak, and Rock Hyrax, and yes rock hyrax is a ungulate.At least 3 obligatory ungulates per pack. You should get used to it by now
Hyraxes are afrotherians tho. Same as elephants, manatees, aardvarks, etc. Not ungulates. The whole group is closer to Xenarthrans (anteaters, armadillos and sloths).
I know you want hyrax just as much as I want Père David’s deer and @Britches wanted her Pallas cat. I really hope you’ll get it.
At least y'all have realistic choices. Me? I just want a 4th fox, the best fox, the gray fox
markhor, Southern pudu you find those in the foothills sometimes and I guess we fly a herd of blackbuck into the Himalayas so they can officially become mountain animalsAt least 3 obligatory ungulates per pack. You should get used to it by now
Maybe you're right, maybe individual animals have a problem, I fired up my animal photo album and actually, they don't look bad!
I don't know, I think the Goodfellow's is actually a prettier animal in regards to its patterning and shape (its alternative name is literally the ornate tree kangaroo), while Matschie's is more overwhelmingly cute, looking like a living teddy bear.
I remember seeing Goodfellow's in Berlin earlier this year.I don't know, I think the Goodfellow's is actually a prettier animal in regards to its patterning and shape (its alternative name is literally the ornate tree kangaroo), while Matschie's is more overwhelmingly cute, looking like a living teddy bear.
While I have a slight preference for Goodfellow's just because they're the species in zoos here (+ I love their longer banded tails), I would still be thrilled if we got Matschie's. In terms of highland theming, both species are restricted to montane regions nowadays but the Goodfellow's reportedly once also occurred in lowland areas while the Matschie's has always been more of a highland specialist. This could make Matschie's the better pick for the theming, but gelada are also a better pick over Hamadryas baboon in the same vein and both are still mountain animals.
Who knows, maybe me listening to Huon Montane on repeat willed the Matschie's into existence!
Oh, I thought elephants where ungulates l, so hence hyraxs were ungulates, guess I was wrong
Thank you and I hope you get your Père David's Dear, which is actually my second most wanted dear behind the Muntjac so I would not complain
Honestly I forgot that the hyrax is a actually realistic choice sometimes, especially compared to some of my other wishes like the Zebu and Southern Screamer. Anyway hope we hmget the Grey fox in their PZ or in a sequel.
The waterbuck photo you have there is a mod, just so you knowMaybe you're right, maybe individual animals have a problem, I fired up my animal photo album and actually, they don't look bad!
I will upload a few (only saiga is the original photo) but I am inserting for comparison
I thought the reindeer had old fur and it has a very similar look to saiga (in my opinion and in this photo), which looks really good, also I take it back that the animals from earlier packages need an upgrade (certainly not all of them)
Here (for me) the worst looking is sable antelope but that is only because it is from the base.... by the way one of my favorite antelope....
But damn the longer I look at it, the more and more I like it hahh, I think I'm not the only one who has this, that I get the impression that the model is old, and the longer I look at it, it's actually “great”
Maybe on a kangaroo you can see it more, you can see that fur, that it is not so “sharpened”? I don't know how to say it, but that's what I'm talking about
I just see it that these models are old, which does not mean that they are ugly, which I have mentioned before
Believe me, this is not a mod and the original model. it just has such good fur compared to others
ABB is definitely the most glaring NA omission. And I blame the FBB for that... I find it hard to complain about the other species I'd want because they aren't particularly common in zoos outside of the US (river otter, porcupine) and/or they're pretty niche (burrowing owl, black-footed ferret).
They're both gorgeous in their own way! I just figure that if we get one, the other could be effectively modded into existence. I plan on commissioning that day 1 if they're in the pack, TBH.I don't know, I think the Goodfellow's is actually a prettier animal in regards to its patterning and shape (its alternative name is literally the ornate tree kangaroo), while Matschie's is more overwhelmingly cute, looking like a living teddy bear.

Regardless of which sub-species we get.Yea I would rather drink a jar of venom then get a wild yak, like it is the only animal (that has a good chance of getting in) that I would hate, even the Siaga and proboscis monkey where cool looking, but a wild yak would be so bland compared to a domestic one, unless the domestic one comes without color morphs
YOU LIE!!!!!!!!!
