Large sized tuna species as a feeder option for lagoons

[Pixelated Sparkster]

One request that is often requested are different feeder types for lagoons. Not only to cover the range of prey options these prehistoric marine creatures would have eaten at their time, but to also act as an ambient decoration, such as placing down jellyfish, octopi, and ammonites.

One feeder type I think would be wonderful if we have a plus sized option of the tuna. The current tuna we see in the game looks to be blackfin tuna, as they match the coloration seen in the image above while also being appropriately sized for marine reptiles like the elasmosaur and plesiosaur to eat.

I want a plus sized version of this feeder so that it would be more exciting seeing our larger marine predators really show off their biting prowess. Megalodon, Kronosaurus, Dunkelosteus, and Mosasaurus are shark feeders, and they would have a unique position of being big enough to eat other marine creatures like the Ichthyosaurus and Plesiosaurus whole. When it comes to the tuna we populate the lagoons with, it looks really small in comparison, in which they would often suck them into their mouths.

This is still cool as they are so big they suck their prey into their mouths, but it lack that aggressiveness when taking down larger prey that is Ichthyosaur sized. I think having a plus sized option of the fish feeder would be a nice option, one that dispenses Pacific Bluefin instead. That way we could enjoy how they eat from the shark feeder, while also seeing them hunt fish much bigger than what other marine creatures could.

That´s a Great Idea !!! The animations for the Fish existing and could 100% work with Tuna that are 150,200 and even 300% of the size. For me even just upsclaing the existing Tunaskin would be ok.
But it would look so much more realistic ( Shoni eating existing size Tuna looks just rediculus...lol).

One Nice new Option could be using the "Megalodon Rig" and its animations ( except for hunting) to animate a White Shark of the size from our sharkfeeder.
So we could have " Great White" as ambient animal and Live food just like the Tuna for the Big 4 !

That would be cool. What if we could get different sized Tuna coming out of the live feeders?

What do you say to squid?

Archelon fed on jellyfish and squid.

Every type of marine reptile had fed on squid also, but I am not sure about Dunkleosteus and Megalodon.

Honesty, I hope the case would be the more the merrier.

I think lagoons could benefit from a range of live feeder options, not only to make the environmental needs of lagoon creatures interesting, but to also populate the lagoon with ambient creatures to add some life to it.

I think the Meg could benefit from the plus sized tuna species like the Pacific Bluefin since they could be some of the largest feeder options outside of incubating large marine creatures, since they were believed to grown to such a large size from and for eating whales.

The Dunkleosteus could do with an Ammonite feeder, since they have the armored jaw to crunch down on their shell, making it a unique feeding animation in the lagoon.
