How can you say they are unnecessary? It’s gonna be our first gazelle from the beginning of the game, distinct looks with their elegant long necks, plus Critically Endangered and very important for conservation projects - I am so glad we are getting those.

There are some pack for everyone - Twilight was not my favorite but I’ve loved the scenery and the fact that it made so many people happy with the racoon addition.

So now only Père David’s deer and I am done 🤩😋

Just according to the metawishlist...there were other arid species that were as popular as dama gazelle (jackal, black footed ferret, mongoose, burrowing owl) or more popular (bobcat, coyote, perentie, arabian oryx, bat eared fox, numbat, hamadryas baboon, honey badger, sulcatta tortoise, guineafowl, secretary birds, road runner, collard peccary).

Unecessary is a good word. Or like other more popular arid species were overlooked for ANOTHER African ungulate is another way of saying it.

I can confidently say the people who liked your post would have been just as happy with ANY of the other animals I just provided as alternative options (probably since they had more votes or as many votes as dama gazelle)

The only species I would've wanted over the dama gazelle is the oryx and maybe the coyote.

Just because the almighty metawishlist says otherwise, it shouldnt discourage lesser known inclusions

Raptor aviarys are cool, they often even activily interact with you. One if my favorite zoo memories was the walkthrough owl enclosure in zoo berlin where a snowy owl sat on the path, wanting to be right with us humans but screaming at me when i respectfully squatted down a meter away from her for a selfie.
At the same time a great grey owl was posing on a stumb for a photographer and visivly enjoying the attention, it was really fun!

Having looked up the dama gazelle it might be my favorite pick of the pack. Would I have preferred saiga? Obviously, but the dama gazellrle is also a little known, critically endangered ungulate which deperately needs more conservation awareness. I can't begrudge them their spot.

Would've been nice to get a bird, a primate, a hyrax or an asian antelope, but hey ungulate representation!

(I'm also plesantly shocked African wild ass. Really, really good pick)

I've been to two walkthrough condir aviaries.

I absolutely stand corrected good sir. 🧐

Where were those two walkthrough condor aviaries?

I just tried to think of the most endangered species you wouldn't want the public to possibly endanger.

California Condors were down to 22 individuals in the 80s. Imagine having your class trip walkthrough an exhibit with the last remaining California Condors.

That was the silly point I was trying to make, maybe Andean Condor walk throughs are common? Maybe a Spix's Macaw would have been better? There's only 180 on Earth, are you going to trust them with random people?

We used to have a Stellars Sea Eagle at the zoo I used to work at. It was enormous. Wingspan of maybe 6 or 7 feet. Huge raptors like that and condors I'm not sure I would trust around the general public. I can see injuries happening to either the animal or a person.

I just REALLY don't want flying birds to be limited to Walkthrough Exhibits. MOST birds at zoos are in regular cages/aviaries. Not accessible to the public. It would not really add to the realism of this game if EVERY single bird species (regardless of how endangered they are, or how dangerous they are) would be accessible to the public in a walkthrough exhibit.

Great grey owls are easily my favorite. They look like kind old men

I just realised. Does anyone know what happened to @Fossa. I hadn't seen them on the forums in a few months and I feel like this pack would be one they'd be heated on. Maybe they just got bored of the forums?

You can always check the latest activity on the profile if curious if they are still active. Yesterday comments would in fact say they are still well and alive
