AWESOME - we need aquarium Pack now . . .
How is this Wetlands?
Looks fantastic! Will have to see how all the animals move and what their requirements etc. are before choosing a favourite but the lechwe is certainly in the running…. Much depends on the space and depth requirements of the otters and platypuses.
It looks reasonably accurate to the Nile river in Sudan and Ethiopia, in which this animal is found.
It's wet...land..s
Is there not a river? If you're referring to the animal in general, they're found in the upper Nile and the Sudd (an African marshland), they eat water-plants, they can swim and wade, and at least some related species have waterproof coats which allow them to run at full speed through foot-deep water.
Like I said, it lives in the wetlands and wades. I don't know if it swims, but I believe it may. Doesn't dive, though.No - what I meant - is that beast a water/wetland animal - does it swim or something - not at all familiar with it - and it looks beautiful - but does it swim - surely it doesn't - interesting! I've never heard of it or seen one - will be interesting to see what it does in game,
"...larger proportion of swamp grasses are consumed when the waters recede. They have the special capability to wade in shallow waters and swim in deeper waters, and may feed on young leaves from trees and bushes, rearing up to reach this green vegetation. Nile lechwe are also found in marshy areas, where they eat aquatic plants..."No - what I meant - is that beast a water/wetland animal - does it swim or something - not at all familiar with it - and it looks beautiful - but does it swim - surely it doesn't - interesting!

This what I dug up from Wikipedia. Nothing too crazy. I was up until tonight sure these were the ones that dive and rest in water, but not apparently, that would be sitatunga
the applause seems to me to be somehow exaggerated why is that? herd instinct? ^^
I fail to see a point in your comment. Do you want to trigger people or just call them out for herding?
I love the Nile Lechwe, I actually like unexpected additions to the game and am a big fan of antelopes so yes I would applaud this animal. The details, the resemblance to the real life animal, it's just uncanny, yet in a good Planet Zoo style so it fits. Big thumbs up from me!
Overall this animal pack is a really refreshing addition to the game, because it breaks the region pattern, adds some fan favorites but also some totally unexpected additions. For me this feels like a good animal DLC pack.
Yes we want to show Frontier the herd instinct we would love to see in the game
Only exaggerated thing i see is your negativity. Animals amazing, we happy, is that so weird?
Frontier has outdone themself with this pack and could even convince the meta list enthusiasts that the surprise picks (besides the still pretty neat caimans) are really nice to have. I would argue this is easily one of their best animal selections yet and easily in the five best packs, i can even totally see this being someones favourite.
So why should we not applaude them for this?
I wonder if the reason why the lion doesn't get a proper makeover is simply the fact that it is shown on the Planet Zoo main cover. They would change their front model with that. I mean, it would be an even better front model then, but maybe Frontier doesn't think so?
I think it is initially alot of effort for not really much outcome. Yes they adjusted the binturong model, but I feel that was a totally different situation, the outcry from the community was huge and could have potentionaly threatened the SEA DLC sales, whether adjusting the old base game models is probably not viewed as something that would make profit and they probably think adding new mechanisms is a better invested development time.
I personally do not have such huge problem with the lion model. It is stylized but it is still recognizible as lion, going so far as not using it because of the mane seems a bit drastic to me, but of course I am just one person so my views do not reflect whole community. Personally would prefer them adjusting sizes of some animals like Bactrian Camel, American Bison and Galapagos Tortoise. That seems to me like a reasonable easy enough fix.

I wonder why the choice of the hedgehog to be honest. I would love to think this would mean a future inclusion but I think this animal would be a problem regarding its size even if I love it
