I know is very similar to an ostrich, but they are very cool. They are the biggest bird from South America, and they are very "elegant" with that greyish colours. I know they are not very special, but i want them so much. Just my thinking, i love too much rheas to leave them apart, so beautiful birds
I really want a pack like this to make more realistic zoos, but they also aren't my favorite animals. I do think that it seems likely. I epuld love is they took more of children's zoo approach, rather than strictly a petting zoo pack. I think there could be some more variety since "children's zoo" is more of a loose term.
I get were you are coming from, and I would agree that something like the golden pheasant or victoria crowned pidgeons offer more novelty than another ratite.
.Marine mania was a lot more diverse, and I think people underestimate how unpopular birds are compared to other animals. People want aviaries as a concept, sure, but most people wouldn't be able to actually name many specific species they want, especially compared to terrestrial and marine animals.
I'm low key expecting a rabbit for free for Easter lol
You are right about the fact we could mix them with other species and that makes them cooler. But I would prefer the grey-crowned crane. Could also be mixed with a lot of animals and be based on the red-crowned crane rig. At the end of the day, it's just personal preference though. Nobody is wrong or rightI get were you are coming from, and I would agree that something like the golden pheasant or victoria crowned pidgeons offer more novelty than another ratite.
What still speaks for them is that they would allow to build multi-species enclosures for non-tropical South America, which to me increases their appeal by more than their species would posess otherwise.
Another argument is that ratites work well in the game, and the rhea would probably not be a lot of effort to create thanks to it's similarity to the other rarites currently in game. That could make them an interesting pick for an animal pack as a sort of filler animal besides the stars.
And that was the main point I wanted to make about them - they would be quite interesting for a Highlands pack. If they wouldn't make it into that pack, I' also be less interested in them, and focus on other habitat bird species. Hopefully that clarified my point further, I don't want to appear as if I'd taken offense from the ensuing debatte
It would seem likely but not guaranteed. At the game's launch, sure they were missing, but there were a lot of animals that were much more conspicuous in their absence than sloths. 3 years in, I'd say they're probably the overall most highest profile missing mammal not in the game.. Even though they're only at 4th place on my own list, which is still high, but I think we should be able to look past our own personal "most wanted" and recognize the overall appeal and likelihood of certain animals not yet in the game. And to me, that's the Sloth.
I don't get your point? While people here would prefer the two-toed, the general audience wouldn't know the difference in the first place. A sloth is a sloth.
If we add votes for all sloth species they would be the nr 1 most desered species… just saying…
The Tasmanian Devil would make it so much better!
Not even just the cartoon like sloths, a quick search on Google images shows almost exclusively three toed sloths. The two toed may be the far more common in zoos but there is no reason we cannot receive the three toed. Although it is much harder to keep successfully in captivity it would be similar to the proboscis monkey case
Yeah it really is, I could bet the exact next one would have the unique never thought of before addition of tree kangaroo, kiwi and devil. We get it Oceania apparently needs these. Speculating a rainforest, Highlands or children's zoo is much more fun
