Hey everyone! This is my first post on this forum. I have been playing zoo games my whole life and love Planet Zoo and the potential it still has!
I've noticed a lot of disrespect thrown the way of the Sun Bear's inclusion into the game. A lot of people saying, "It's just another bear!" Well, boy am I glad to make you a Sun Bear believer!
They are incredibly unique animals that deserve a spot on this roster. Sun Bears are the world's smallest bear species. They are the size of a large dog!
(Sorry for the watermark)
They are also the world's only purely tropical bear and have short hair with really long tongues designed for insects (IIRC). They also have sharp long claws to break into coconuts and nests. And are incredibly arboreal.
They are poached and trapped for the exotic pet trade and bear paw soup. So they're important to add for a conservational focus. Furthermore, they are quite abundant in captivity and well represented in zoos.
Now I realize I might be a little biased as I want all remaining bear species in the game (except American Black Bear, maybe cause I'm a Floridian and I'm used to them, but more because they act too much like the Brown Bears and Asain Black Bear in-game already). I think the S bears (Sun, Sloth, Spectacled) are all very unique and deserve spots on this roster but unfortunately due to the Himalayan Brown Bear's inclusion, people are sour to adding more bears to the game. I would love for far more diversity in the animals offered in the game and I understand if you want more small cats or more deer in the game before more bears for example, but please give the Sun Bear a chance, it might grow on you like it did me. Now it's one of my favorite animals.
