If you had to choose only one animal which one would you choose?

[Orque41]

If you had to choose a single animal that you absolutely want to have in the game which one do you choose and why do you want to have it in the game? I specify that the animal you choose is with the photo and the animal you choose is only mammal or bird or reptile or amphian, fish and invertebrate not accepted.

Me is the wolf in Mane. Why I choose it because it is my favorite animal.

Black and Rufous Elephant Shrew.

Great animal, great colors, and very interesting to watch.
Blijdorp has them, and we at least stay around their exhibit quite some time, because they are (if they show themselves) just great to watch them stroll around their exhibit looking for food with their typical nose.

Althought not endangered, their numbers are declining.

Meerkat. They are among my favorite animals and are absolutely a common zoo animal, and usually very popular at that. I've even gone so far as to leave what I think would be a large enough habitat open for their eventual inclusion, if the zoo is not a strictly continent themed zoo. My guests may not like that there's an empty habitat but hopefully one day it won't be!

For me it would be without any hesitation critically endangered Somali wild donkey. This game lacks both equids and desert animals so this gracious species would be right on point.

 

[paul78]

For me Southern White Rhino for sure.

 

[FoxyDee]

California sea lions. Abosutely love these playful water doggos and their ability to walk on land with flippers.

 

[Fini]

Capybaras! It is my absolute favorit animal...i mean look at this face

 

[Aramar]

Iberian lynx

Smaller cat
Unique face with those ears and that beard
European endemic
Extremely endangered
Their presence in zoos is increasing (very slowly, but increasing)
Underrepresented bioma

What else do you need?

 

[DarthQuell]

I would choose some species of fox. Either a Red Fox or a Gray Fox:

I prefer the Gray Fox (my favorite animal and a unique, tree-climbing canine)...

...but everybody else wants the Red Fox (not complaining, though).

And my dream is to get one as a pet (but seems that Texas doesn't allow it)

 

[NL_Mutso]

African Crested Porcupine:
Mainly because I like seeing more unique looking species in PZ

It would be definitely my favorite exibit animal
We have them in Wroclaw zoo they came from Rotterdam zoo and they breed well.
I would love to see some small mammals in exibits finally.

If you had to choose a single animal that you absolutely want to have in the game which one do you choose and why do you want to have it in the game?

Tough question!

However, I think I would go with an Eurasian badger. Seeing as they are simply amazing.

More than that... Northern and Western European animals are severely underrepresented in the game in general (in my opinion).

Is it only not allowed for wild Foxes? Domesticated Foxes exist thanks to a Russian Experiment and they do also sell them. Just don't know how it would work to get the Animal to the US but I think I've already heard that some People outside of Russia keep them. But I think the Costs to adopt one are very high. For more Information you can google Novosibirsk Fox

Yes, I was reading about it. The same people also tried River Otters (not successful). But if I'm not mistaken I don't think foxes are allowed in Texas. Maybe I'm wrong. I'll need to do research again. I'm also looking for RETFs, but they can be pricey, too

Interesting. Didn't know about this. Can you share a Source?
Aren't some Otters more aggressive in Captivity? Maybe they've just chosen the wrong Species for it

What are RETFs?

 

[DarthQuell]

Look up "domesticated silver fox" for the whole story

What are RETFs?

Red Eyed Tree Frogs, my favorite frog

Red Eyed Tree Frogs, my favorite frog

Even though I don't use them very often, I absolutely love their Animations in the Game. I've watched them for multiple Minutes when the South America Pack was released

 

[Cynogale bennettii II]

For me, it has to be the yellow-throated marten. It is the largest species of marten, lives in groups, is adept at moving both on the ground and in the trees, has very bold coat colouration and occupies a range of habitats from the snowy taiga forests of the Russian Far East to the rainforests of Indonesia.

 

[DarthQuell]

Wow. I've never heard of that one. I love martens, and I'd name mine Martin (dumb joke, I'm sorry [but not really])

Breeding program in rotterdam for these animals is going excellent indeed.
