It's true we get influenced by US English, and I noticed that in English, names tend to diverge a lot from the greek/latin name, even more so in Dutch or German
Seems weird to me most of the times :
In French we tend to keep names closer to latin
Example : Blackbuck is "Antilope cervicapre" in French, nearly the same as the latin taxonomy (Antilope cervicapra)
Red River Pig/Hog (Potamochoerus porcus) is "Potamochère roux" which translates to Red River Pig.
Warthog (Phacochoerus africanus) is "Phacochère" which means "Lentil Pig" due to the protrusions on their face.
Same goes for Tree Kangaroos, we call them "Dendrolague" from the greek name "Dendrolagos" = Tree Hare

Ring-Tailed Lemurs right?Btw, what animals that are from islands can you see at Shepreth Wildlife Park?
Cuz I can only imagine Sumatran Tigers
Since we already have an African Suidae/Hog aka Warthog, would be weird to get a Red River Hog or Bushpig instead of the Visayan Warty Pig.
This logic works both ways, and I say this as someone who wants the red river hog.
It's true ! Forgot about the good old Warthog !Since we already have an African Suidae/Hog aka Warthog, would be weird to get a Red River Hog or Bushpig instead of the Visayan Warty Pig.

Only true answer is the peccarySince we already have an African Suidae/Hog aka Warthog, would be weird to get a Red River Hog or Bushpig instead of the Visayan Warty Pig.

This is how the hot take hog argument startedSince we already have an African Suidae/Hog aka Warthog, would be weird to get a Red River Hog or Bushpig instead of the Visayan Warty Pig.

Ah everything always comes full circle eventually
(Me refreshing my phone every 3 seconds so that I can be the 1st to see new announcement and then link it since I'm never 1st but I'm likely gonna miss announcement anyways so this is all futile)
Same boat here ahaha
I love how every time there is a race to see who can post the extra screenshots from steam in the replies of the post first lol
I mean we also already have a south-east Asian island endemic suid in the form of the babirusa, so this argument goes both ways.Since we already have an African Suidae/Hog aka Warthog, would be weird to get a Red River Hog or Bushpig instead of the Visayan Warty Pig.

EDIT: Nevermind, didn’t read the quote! The messages are moving too fast lol
That's usually @FoxyDee, actually because instead of working she's on the forums
I used to volunteer at SheprethBtw, what animals that are from islands can you see at Shepreth Wildlife Park?
Cuz I can only imagine Sumatran Tigers
It's a lovely wildlife park but very small. Started off as a hedgehog / local wildlife hospital and then got in a tiger to attract visitors for money, to finance itself. Their tiger is described as Sumatran but is actually a mixed geneological animal that has no conservation value. They keep it just to bring in visitors and give it a place to live out its life. Its enclosure is far too small. Shepreth does small wildlife best. Their only tropical island species I think are their lemurs and tortoises...sorry if I've forgotten one or two though. I can't remember which species of Giant Tortoise they have.
Ok see y’all at 10 then
Yes that was the point of my comment, look what I was quoting
And there is me who sit on steamdb and will see DLC art even before steam page lmao.
