Do animals with different size gene actually have different size in the game?

The only difference in sizes of the animals I have observed is the difference between male and female size so far. Is there any perceivable different between an animal having 0 size gene and 100?
 
Yes, the difference is very visible. I tried to breed wild dogs as small as hamsters, but that didn't work, though the difference in size is very big. (No pun intended)
 
Yep, not only is it truly different, as well as noticeable....it effects the ability of the animal to get around in the enclosure. I had an elephant enclosure that was dug down a bit, with an overwalk for visitors that went through the enclosure. Very popular habitat, the walkway was always really crowded. But...once an elephant with 100% size that had been born matured, turns out I didn't quite dig deep enough. He got trapped in a tiny corner of the enclosure because he was too big to go under the walkways (that every other elephant had been doing for a few generations).

By the same token, really small animals can potentially get to places and result in there being escape points in a habitat that don't exist for their larger brethren. This one is more quickly noticeable though, seeing as juveniles also can so it is good practice to always check your traverse heat map once babies are born.
 
As an example: 20% size vs. 100%, both males.

omg I thought it was a baby, haha
Yes, in retrospect I should have clicked the small one instead. I'll get back with a new picture, if they still live.

(Edit). Sorry, she was sold. I couldn't help myself. I am crazy for CC, though I can't buy any animals.

I too have bred so many animals that Store count is now 70, and I cannot buy anymore until I sell them all, all are gold rated so I don't want to release them in the wild.

Many cheaper animals you wont sell on market for any more than releasing, even gold ones, so the only option is to release into the wild. Golds are not actually that rare and pretty easy to raise / buy, dont get too precious you need trading space.

Now that you've mentioned it, it really is very easy to breed a gold animal, I would like a little more difficulty in that. The value of gold animals is decreasing because of their massive production.
 
Okay, here we go again, with proof that it's not a baby. I guess I'm breeding my rhinos into hamsters :)
Mother and daughter. They were about to fight, so I can't, and will not get you a picture of that ;-)View attachment 153918
Maybe the Rhinoceros still has the Baby-Model. Animals need some Time to change from the Baby-Model to the Adult-Model. I notice this all the time with Tigers and Saltwater Crocodiles

Also a nice detail: Crocodiles and Gharial seem to grow all their lives.
I think the biggest Saltwater Crocodile I've ever had, stopped to grow some time around the Age of 80. I wonder if it is possible to know the final Size of a Animal if I somehow calculate it out of the Size, the Animal has at the Beginning of its adulthood. I'm trying to breed a extremely big Crocodile but it is a bit difficult because they take a long time to grow 🐊
