Okapi and Indian Elephant!

Quetzalcoatlus · Aug 22, 2019

So, apparently, the same stream that confirmed the Indian Rhinoceros, has also confirmed the Okapi and the Indian Elephant!

Unfortunately though, they are confirmed through tags, not actual appearances. But...more wonderful animals!

I was hoping for okapi. It is a little unusual animal, but it was in both zoo tycoon games and I just got used to it as a classic. Good to see it made it back.

Same ^! ;D I'm excited for their appearances.. I can't wait to also see the other animal appearances we haven't seen yet such as the Pygmy Hippo, Komodo & Thomson's Gazelle

I do like the fact that there will be the Indian Elephant because it gives us more Asian animals which i would like more than there is shown right now

Good find! I added it to the General Gamescon Live Streams discussion!

Super happy about the Indian Elephant. And it's interesting they are giving us a specific sub species (the Indian) rather than just referring to it generically as the Asian Elephant. But I guess that is in line with other animals like the specific West African Lion.

Yay!!! I was really hoping to see the Indian/Asian Elephant in Planet Zoo considering we have them in the Phoenix Zoo, which I will building on Nov 5. I thought maybe it would come in a dlc, but never thought it would be in the base game this early on. As for the Indian Rhinoceros, I'm really shocked that we didn't get the Black or White Rhinoceros first and later down the line got a different subspecies.

Sorry for the OT, but I've just had a revelation moment.

It's such an amazing idea to recreate an existing favourite zoo!
Why have I never thought of this, goddammit.

Um...you're welcome. I guess...

Seriously though I can't wait to get started building the Phoenix Zoo!
