Well done. I hope that it is at least working behind the scenes to make your effort worth it. But at least we have identified more details for the various issues we have been hankered with the last set of challenges to relay to the devs. Hopefully it helps them fix whatever was broken.
@Moorwiesen: No idea how you did that; very impressed 
(I'm just pleased to be hitting 55)
(I'm just pleased to be hitting 55)Okay, that's all but a pair of Bengal Tigers released .. total 160 released. I'm well happy with that. Especially seeing all those babies bringing in the dosh from the guests rofl. Along with selling at least half of the gharials rofl. Down to my last group of peafowl and gharials who just started hitting the 3 stars today rofl. But they can be breeding stock in my GHI zoo. The new zoo is now sitting at 320k and climbing. I am sure once I put my pride of lions in there and the timber wolves ( on opposite sides of the zoo if possible to divert the guests making baby faces at the ickle babies ) that money will continue to flood in as I expand out to add the remaining animals and get rid of the animals not in the T-Z group rofl.
Yeah I hate it when weather just decides to mess you up when you least expect it rofl.
I usually have my zoos in temperate zones so they get a mixture of weather but then it still manages to surprise me with years of no snow .. and then all of a sudden a snow storm with a tropical animal now having issues rofl.

I hope the next challenge works, especially for our console friends, as it'll be very easy and very rewarding.
Also, do albino animals pop up commonly for the rewards of all the challenges?

Console didn't have a problem .. got to 100% a day or two ago. But I do know many of them are having franchise issues.
As for mutation versions .. I'll have to check my reward list and see if any are amongst them. I think they are all base game rewards if memory serves from the last list I made of them. Which makes sense as some people might not have any or all the DLCs.
Out of the 149 I currently have on my reward list. Less than 10 are white mutations. I can't visually see any others, and you have to put them in regular storage to see the mutation details.

I’m on console this is like my second week playing not sure what the next community challenge is something about enhanced rewards what exactly are we looking to do?
Also once this last challenge started I could not get any of my animals to go past 1 star not sure if I did something wrong

Some of the animals were hard to get to 3 stars in the time needed, and it didn't help that many didn't work at all. My gharials and peafowl only started hitting 3 stars today rofl. Most of my releases were Bengal Tigers which were 3 stars by the time they had their first or second batch of babies.
Ah the anniversary challenge.
Wippi Abbonibo!
Happy Anniversary Zookeepers! Or we should really say Wippi Abbonibo! To celebrate, release ANY animals with enhanced rewards up for grabs!They might be throwing some additional rewards in than normal. Trying to remember what they did last year, but I vaguely remember extra stuff. Probably outfit stuff and credits, but not sure if there was any extra completion rewards, but a year was a long time ago rofl.
Here's hoping they fix this problem we had on PC so that we can actually complete it, but at least we will get the individual animal releasing rewards.
Iirc, the last few anniversary challenges have all been the same: Release ANY animal. I think you get CCs, avatar stuff, and whatever else for like every milestone. It's super easy, like my old strat was just to buy whatever was on the market for 1 cc and release it straight back out into the wild, which I don't think is a good conversation strategy but what do I know
I usually don't get albinos simply because the species I generally get awarded don't have an albino variant (I usually get a galapagos tortoise as my most awarded species, followed by the greater flamingo) but when I get something good (I've gotten quite a few chimps and gorillas) those are albino about half the time.
Also, with the next challenge being the Anniversary challenge, hopefully Frontier will care enough to make sure the challenge is actually working correctly. Plus, we will at least get the new leopard by then, if not the new DLC as well! Exciting times ahead.
Ahh ok, I couldn't remember if the albino chance is increased with all challenge rewards or just the anniversary ones
But it is a strategy rofl.
I think I got my first mutated version fairly recently .. maybe in the last year or two. If memory serves, I think I and several others were wondering many years back if we would get any mutated ones, once they added the DNA stuff and the chance for mutations.
As to variety .. I have been playing since day 1 and barring a few animals I have taken out of the reward storage as emergency breeding stock what I have is what I've had since they started the challenges. Himalayan Bears - 10 , Aldabra Tortoises - 15, Nile Monitors 10. I also have a few 8s and 6s, and then a bunch of 3s or less. In the early days it seemed like it was the same ones all the time but over the years and the many challenges I have seen a steady variety in the rewards.
Well my baby gharials have made the long journey to their new home in my latest GHI Zoo ( number 5 or 6 rofl ) , which had to be expanded to house them and the new water requirements rofl.
Next door is where the peafowl are and my last remaining ones from the challenge zoo are making their own journey. The gharials will help me build up the cash flow while I wait for things to naturally grow.

As someone who don't want the albino variants; I feel like I get them aaaaall the frikkin' time as a reward. xD
As previously mentioned; next challenge is to release any animal. And last year those bonus rewards were clothes for our avatars.
As for having a difficult time with getting stars on your animals we regularly talk about which animals are easier to get stars on and which ones are almost impossible. I've mentioned before for example that I find flamingoes pretty impossible. xD
Easy CCs at least and you can just throw them up on the market and get a normal one
