If we get a wild yak instead of the domestic one im gonna riot
Honestly, I'd be happy with either, there's precedent either way with Llama and Wild Water Buffalo. I just like Yaks in general haha
Pretty much the same although i prefer the takin over the Yak and i would like the golden pheasant more.
You are missing an animal here since i would assume the giant salamander will be an exhibit animal if ever introduce to the game. So for that 7th habitat spot i think the manul is a likely option knowing how much frontier loves their carnivores. Other option are the alpine marmot, the himalayan monal, the ethiopian wolf and the gelada.
In my mind no mountains pack is complete without eagles or condors but oh well, no flying birds for PZ.
Also the GSNM is also my prefered choice for a primate but i think the gelada is more likely for a pack like this.
I feel the Salamanders could go either way - they're definitely larger than a bunch of habitat animals we do have already, and it'd be nice to have a habitat amphibian. That said, they could also easily end up as exhibits.
Same as you tbh with the GSNM/Gelada options - can't imagine we'd get both at once, and my choices does make for a very Asian pack, so Gelada would balance that.
Honestly, I'd like both Golden and Lady Amherst's they're both just such beautiful species that bring colour to zoos, and I'd be very happy with either. Takins are great, but I think we need more bovines than caprids and yak are a bit more iconic of mountains for me?
My Highlands pack ideas
- Spectatled Bear
- Pallas Cat
- American Pika
- Mountain Goat
- Golden Takin
- Vicuna
- Gelada
- Asian Pit Viper (Exhibit)
Honestly, all rock solid choices, pun partially intended lol.
I did also consider a small mammal species of some sort? Mountain Hare, Rock Hyrax, Picas, Marmots, Viscacha, Chinchilla... even Guinea Pigs would all be fun choices, although I personally wouldn't pick them over some of the other options on the table.
