"Oops, all clones!" hypothetical

[coatifan]

There’s lots of good options, but so long as we got the American flamingo I’d probably be happy, ha ha. We need more birds ….

Personally a second flamingo wouldn't really count towards "more birds" for me. We really need something brand new, like a pelican, or a crane, or swan or goose.

I certainly agree, I would obviously pick new types of bird over new members of an existing "type" (another flamingo, the green or congo peafowl, etc). But in the context of a hypothetical clone pack, I think more flamingoes would be a great way to add even a bit of diversity. But yeah, we need more types of bird.

"Clones" I would like to see (but I think the term clone ia very subjective. I would not call a przewalaki horse, a Somali wild donkey, a wallaby or a blackbuck a clone):

All kinds of the missing bears: Spectacled Bear, Sloth Bear and American Black Bear

Leopard (Is it a clone? But compared to some other suggestions within the thread it is also kind of a clone from the Jaguar, a bit smaller, other face, other coloration) --> I prefer Amur or African subspecies

Dromedary
Black Rhinoceros
Grevys Zebra
Massai Giraffe
Vicuna
Eastern Grey Kangaroo
Wisent
Barbary macaque
Barbary Sheep (Perhaps not a typical clone like the others)
Nile crocodile
Iberian Lynx or Bobcat
And more...

What I personally hope we do not get (I will nevertheless have nothing against free integration)
Eurasian Brown Bear ( We already have two subspecies in the game)
Eurasian Wolf (The same as the brown bear)
Another tiger (The same)

Split thought about:
Asiatic Lion (Already belongs to the subspecies we have in game but in real life zoos they are normally called asiatic lion)

I will define "clone" as either a subspecies or a related species within the same genus that is fairly similar. In neither case a reskin nor a vastly different appearance.

Subspecies:
Arabian wolf (Timber wolf)
Syrian brown bear (Grizzly bear/Himalayan brown bear)

Species based on animals in the base game:
Arabian oryx (Gemsbok)
Dromedary camel (Bactrian camel)
Nile crocodile (Saltwater crocodile)
American black bear (Formosan black bear)
Asian water monitor (Nile monitor)
Brazilian tapir (Baird's tapir)

Species based on DLC animals:
Red fox (Arctic fox). Perhaps too distinct for my definition
Nubian ibex (Alpine ibex)
Humboldt penguin (African Penguin)

Just one correction: neither the Asian water monitor nor the Brazilian tapir are subspecies of the "source" species!! Good proposals, though.

Crap, I knew it but still misplaced them due to not paying enough attention
Fixed it

I think all are good ideas here, I can't comment more. I hope Frontier would listen and pump them out faster.
