Yea exactly this. That’s why the Siamangs are a little annoying to me (but their calls and brachiation make up for it)

I still use all of the animals. Potato tier is noticeably worse than others in the game, but I can still tell what it is and will use it sometimes. I think they need a fair amount of work to bring them to the standard of the others. Minor fixes are slight changes I wish Frontier would implement if they asked me, but I can live with them as is. The base game snakes are hilarious, especially the rattlesnake, but exhibit animal quality issues don't bother me too much.
Also definitely a difference between basegame animals and something like the rhea.
The older ones you can for sure excuse for being, well.. old.
But a modern day animal shouldnt have anatomy this obviously wrong
I would unironically love this packYes, the name of the last pack was leaked, and it's called "Pile of rocks animal pack", it contains only two animals: Rock Hyrax and Rock Ptarmigan along with the 200+ rocks and stones in different shapes and sizes.
Free update comes with new rock dynamics that let rocks tumble of off cliffs and hills onto unsuspecting park visitors
Yeah I think the Ostrich still holds rather well. Feathers could get better texture
Calling 6/17
Not really. American flamingo wing folding is also as bad as in rhea case. Difference lies in Frontier hiding whole wing inside flamingo model so players can see how bad actual wings are only on ocassion. What people see most of the time are fake wings, which are smartly arranged feathers to reasemble wings.
I want the fake wings for the rhea then.
For me, the male Hippopotamus, Indian Rhinoceros, Bongo, Western Chimpanzee, Galapagos Giant Tortoise and Aardvark hold up the best.
A lot of others hold up good, but not great.
Most are pretty bad.
The worst, IMO, are the Lion, both Brown Bears, Timber Wolf, Snow Leopard, Bactrian Camel, Okapi, Common Warthog and Red Panda.
It has always perplexed me why they made the Warthog such a deep brown color in-game. I’m not too picky about animal models, I’ll even use the Lion, but I’ve always avoided the Warthog even since launch, it just looks so far from the real thing
I think at the begining of PlanetZoo they wanted to make everything 'stylized' to have easier work and easy to hide anatomical mistakes. The people are also cartoony so all the saturated colors and goofy animals were more coming together than hyperrealistic animals next to those human-shaped toys.
But later they felt good about how people are admiring the animal models to be realistic and beautiful and for some time they were heading that way. Which they most likely didn't expect at the very begining of the game. And now we are at the point that after so many beautiful DLCs where they were pushing their standards higher and higher the very first animals look goofy and out of the place.

Absolutely! Frontier had quite a different approach in the beginning. Not surprising, as even PlanCo doesn't have the amount of detail/realism as Planet Zoo does. They didn't only become more realistic through their animal models, but also by giving us far more realistic, less obviously thematic, more detailed and smaller pieces. It has become more and more a game for architects, which I personally think fits with the advanced mechanics of the game.I think at the begining of PlanetZoo they wanted to make everything 'stylized' to have easier work and easy to hide anatomical mistakes.

Obviously, a lot of unrealistic things and building difficulties still remain, such as the massive exhibits and minimum path widths, terrain interruption etc., but I do have quite some hope this will improve in the sequel.
Ah yes, the 6th of Umptember.
Its the freedom way of saying dates. Why write it like everybody else when you can make it confusing for everybody
The American way
Just saying, you don't say January, day 8 in year 2025. You say January 8th, 2025
However, the metric system is definitely much simpler
