Please add the natural termite mound enrichment to the sloth bear

Loving the pack so far, even the sloth bear which I really did not care about, people often defending this animal because of its uniqueness, yet a lot of that uniqueness is not reflected in the game as of now. Like I did not expect in youth carrying mechanics because we already had way more remarkable species that do this (ahem giant anteater ahem) and yet they can't do it ingame. However one of the most remarkable behaviors of this bear is that it feeds on termites and ants, and that is totally doable ingame, yet it cannot use the natural termite mound (or just the termite mound idc) at all? Frontier should really correct this oversight. Please share your thoughts, do you agree with this?

I agree.

I don't think it's fair to say they are lazy, but they could very well be understaffed or simply not prioritizing these kinds of things in their budget. They've been better than some game companies at (eventually) giving folks things they request, like the long overdue change in the Malayan tapir appearance. Still waiting for a patch to fix some serious gameplay issues in a different game I play (by a different company) that was launched in September!

I wonder if there has been some attempt to equalize the number of enrichment items different species can use, because I recall that some items that used to be available for certain species disappeared a while back. But there are still some species, such as giraffes, that have very few toys or feeder options, and others (such as koalas, which sleep 18-22 hours a day, and spend most of their waking time eating, so that doesn't leave a lot of time for play) that have more toys than they would ever use.

The fact is that some animals do have a lifestyle that makes more toys and specialized feeding enrichment items realistic.

On a different note, a termite log feeder that can be pulled apart is another item that makes sense for insect-eating animals. It's weird that a termite feeder was never made available for the aardvark! Aardvark trivia: the only fruit they are known to eat is called the aardvark cucumber, and they help spread the plant by pooping out their seeds. Maybe aardvark cucumbers should be a plant choice too...

As I've mentioned a few Times, the Chimpanzee, Bonobo and Orangutan should also be able to use the Termite Mound.
I think the Hammock should be usable by a few more Animals (Bears, Primates, Cats)

I knew I'm not crazy and the Wolves were able to use the Fire Hose Ball before

I would like to see old animals get to use nee enrichment. A lot of animals should be able to use the hammock and termite mound specifically.

New enrichment item: warming rock. A lot of zoos have these for primates, big cats and large reptiles. Looks like a natural rock but gets warm.

Carousel

Zoo poo compost (would generate income)

Wood shingles for log cabin and other NA themed items (log cabin and/or native american)

Educator specific training that would increase the educational value of presentations and educational infrastructure.

Ambassador animals, would require a new building and would be a task you could assign/unassign. The animals would be kind of like the caretakers brooms. You don't have to care for them or anything like that, basically a tool or accessory.

More gift shop items like shirts, cups and toys.

1 large gift shop that sells everything (we might have one I've just never used it)

As I'm playing with my Polar bears another enrichment item I would like is a floating keg/barrel for the bears and tiger/jaguars. Could function like the floating sub but could float loose around the water like the terrestrial enrichment items can.

Would absolutely love this. I like to put the Herbivore Barrel into the Water but it just isn't the same.
