I think it might just be the colours, actually. I'm used to seeing the colours more distinctive.
Planet Zoo: Eurasia Animal Pack arriving 13 Dec ❄️

Ouch, that thought hurts in a heart breaking way. If only...
It is so weird to me that the animal that is the face of the game is also among the worst designs.
Which is why I think it will never be changed as that awful design has been the face of the game since its release.
Well, the keyart is technically painted or drawn, not actually an in-game photo. It's more like concept art, so it isn't wrong to think of it changing, either
I love that one on the bottom. Beautiful.
The melanistic looks cool, too...
And I love that fox peeking at the wolverine in the 2nd photo. Probably was bullied by it, so he's hiding
I wouldn't describe black bears as chill. More desensitized to people maybe. You're more likely to be attacked by a black bear than a grizzly just due to numbers and proximity. The grizzly attack is more likely to be fatal, but, due to how many black bear attacks happen, the overall number of fatal attacks is roughly the same for both species.That's nice to hear.Not everyone is alike and I believe especially real zoo enthusiasts are more interested in having different species of brown bears etc.
I know Grizzlys are super dangerous, but I would not really want to come across a european brown bear as wellAt least not super close.
I only learned a few month ago that Black Bears are rather chill. When I see how close humans interact with them, I thought that people where nuts because I thought all bears are kind of aggressive.
In sum, anyone interacting with any wild bear is nuts.
As someone who comes from a country where one of the leading causes of extinction is invasive animals it seems very weird and almost anti conservation to protect animals which are introduced since at best they are just competing with native animals and at worst they are actively killing them.
This I have been talking about this for years that we need enough diversity that anyone from anywhere can make a reasonable copy of the zoos near them I mean the game is called planet zoo. Planet zoo is definitely the closet zoo game to realising this it also has one of the largest rosters of any zoo game I can think of with only zoo tycoon xbox having more animals and only barely. This pack was great for europe which I am happy people finally turned around on because when I brought up that europe needed more animals a couple of months ago I was drowned out with people telling me there was nothing worth adding and that africa asia and south america are the only important places for diversity.
Including the animals in the eurasia pack we have 19 european habitat animals. This to me is a reasonable number because I think before support ends we should get at least 20 habitat animals from each continent which leaves oceania which needs a few things but not another dedicated packs worth and south america which is severely under represented.
I am so bored of hoofstock at this point there are so many other groups of animal they could pick from yet 2 out the last 4 packs have had half their roster dedicated to hoofstock. There are so many more impactful mammals that could be added to the roster such as monkeys or lagomorphs yet they always just keep adding hoofstock. Its not like they are all incredibly unique either so many of them just use the same body plan just in different colours and only really provide continental or biome diversity.
Its not even that I dont like hoofstock because I dont and that is a separate issue, its more that they just choose the most basic ones everytime. There are so many more interesting ungulates than constant bovine or antelope, like we dont have any small ungulates such as the pudu, we have barely any deer or caprine representation and if it has to be an antelope pick something like the gerenuk which actually has some unique animations.
Every zoo game is doomed to have an ugly lion mascot
I'm European, but since I was very young I always disliked the continent's fauna the least.
For me it was something like this. Australia > Africa = Asia > South America >>>>> North America > Antarctic >>>>>> Europe
Chamois, Wild Boar, Lynx, Wolverine, Ibex, Moufflon and some insects and flying birds (like the Bearded Vulture and the Hoopoo) are the only European animals I care about.
North America isn't much better for me, but the swamps and the deserts do have some very interesting animals like Gila Monsters, Roadrunners, Alligators and more.

Besides false Advertisement i guess
My least favorite gazelle/antelopes in the game are the Springbok, Dama Gazelle, Scimitar Oryx and Addax, I think they should have gone with the Gerenuk, Great Eland, Dik-Dik and Blackbuck.
The lion killers/slaughters/destroyers/torturers (yes, lions are afraid of them) Sable Antelope and Gemsbok are in my opinion shoe-ins, the best antelopes for ANY zoo game, if people dislike these, I'm really baffled.
I mean whos gonna complain if they find out the lion looks better than it does in the key artBesides false Advertisement i guess
Planet Zoo 2 : ^ )?
I think these rules are not only exclusive for Germany. Look at Australia with its Dromedaries. And I think there is at least a difference made between animals just were able to survive and are classified as harmeless for local Fauna and animals which are invasive and endanger the endemic species like the Raccoon does for example. Which still counts as an invasive species.
I read a bit further and interestingly the Greater Rhea even has a Special protection in Germany as it is listed as endangered animal. Everyone can think of that in its own surely.
There are also other examples of newly native species like the Collared parakeet which is able to survive and reproduce now in a lot of German city parks.
If you want a lion killer, why not a ratel?
The use of the dromedary camel to support your argument is wrong. The government is actively trying to remove them from australia not protect them they are actively destroying both the native environment as well as are a huge issue for farmers. The only invasive animals that I can think of that has any protection in australia are wild horses and that is only because public campaigning against culling due to people liking horses too much to realise they are bad for the environment.
Also the rhea doesnt have special protection in germany beyond the the federal nature conservation act based on what I have been reading. If anything it sounds like they are trying to change that so they can reduce numbers.
