Suggestions for coat variants

[Mkau]

Because I got a bit of freetime,I decided I would post some suggestions regarding coat variatons.Rightful credit to the different sites providing those pictures.
I made this seperate thread,because I didn't want to double post in another one.It seems like I'm only able to add 10 images from my computer and 20 media links.

African Buffalo

• different shades of black: lighter,darker,dark-grayish
• brown

(- horn variants would make individuals even more visually unique)

African Elephant
-different shades of gray: lighter,darker
(-tusk variants would make individuals even more visually unique)

African Wild Dog

• would be awesome if some kind of randomizer system could be implemented,which makes the patterns truly unique (rather than a fixed number of e.g. 10 patterns,which can occur multiple times - but that's just me dreaming I don't know if such a randomizer would be possible.)
• bigger/smaller yellow patched,bigger/smaller white patched,bigger/smaller black patched individuals

Bengal Tiger

• all mutations can occur in the wild,but they are extremely rare
• selective inbreeding is the cause for a higher ratio in captivity and the fact that we can see where our animals are coming from (e.g. description private zoo/rescue) made me include this mutations

I really like your Suggestions for new Skins and the Possibility of different Horns, Tusks.....

would be awesome if some kind of randomizer system could be implemented,which makes the patterns truly unique (rather than a fixed number of e.g. 10 patterns,which can occur multiple times - but that's just me dreaming I don't know if such a randomizer would be possible.)

I think it would be possible. Wildlife Park 3 had something similar with Horns and Tusks and I found out trough modding new Animals for the Game that also more than one of them on the same Animal are possible and this Game was really unfinished, so I think it wouldn't be a very big Problem for Frontier to implement something like this in Planet Zoo. Didn't they mention Stripe-Patterns for Zebras consist of multiple Parts? This means they already did something similar

There is already a thread discussing cost variants, feel free to add your contributions there.

Animal coat and pattern variations

With the conformation of future variations to animals being added in future updates, I thought it'd be fun to make a thread listing our favorites! Feel free to tag in and share some that you'd like to see...and please keep the discussions civil! We have been blessed with conformation and that's...
