Twilight animal requirements and thoughts

Hey everyone
I’m sure you are either shocked or excited by our new reveal
I do this with every dlc, make a post about what our new animals requirements will be and your opinion of the new animals.

Raccoons
4-6
Lots of foliage
Temperate, taiga, grassland
Small habitat requirements
Species enrichment maybe with grizzly bears or foxes
I have seen plenty of raccoons in the wild, occasionally in small groups but I really don’t know much about them. I know the enthusiasm for their inclusion but weren’t personally high on my list.

Striped skunks
1-3
Some foliage
Small habitat requirements
Temperate, grasslands
I don’t think any species would want to be around a skunk
I have a mixed opinion about them, I find them funny but not zoo worthy. I have seen enough in the wild. There are albino and brown skunks as pets which I hope get included.

Wombats
4?
Little foliage
Medium sized habitat
Desert, grassland
Species enrichment: maybe kangaroos
I know very little about wombats, I think I sow one at the woodland park zoo, I don’t know their social needs or how much space they need.

Red Fox
4-6
Some foliage
Medium sized habitat
Taiga, temperate, grassland
Species enrichment: beavers
Very glad to get another canine and the only animal on my meta list. I hope they include marble colored red foxes.

Egyptian fruit bats
I honestly don’t know much about them or how this new exhibit system will work. I imagine 10+.

Common wombats live in temperate south-eastern Australia in habitats such as eucalyptus forests, grassy woodlands, heathlands and alpine regions, so they'd definitely not have the desert tag. Most likely they'd be temperate and grassland, with some potential for the taiga (alpine) tag too. They're also territorial as adults and less social than their hairy-nosed relatives, so I imagine the social limit will be 2:
Most common wombats are held as solitary animals or as pairs if compatible, which can be a male and female, two females or two juvenile males (less than 18 months of age). Southern hairy-nosed wombats can be held as solitary animals but preferably should be held as pairs or in small groups.

For the requirments of the skunks I assume the classical 180m2 like for any other small animal in game...which thanks to the hitboxes is too big, so that is certainly a disadvantage. Those small animals get lost in those huge enclosures. I think it should be reduced to something like 80m2 to compensate the hitboxes.

I wrote part of this in other thread...

1. Racoon
Social group: 3+
Continent: North America
Biomes: Grassland, Tropical*, Temperate, Taiga (*Why Tropical? According to IUCN website, racoons are present also in Yucatán Peninsula and the rest of Central America, where there are tropical forest)
Small habitat requirements and some foliage
I don't know if they could have species enrichment

2. Striped Skunk
Social group: 1-3 (I'm not sure)
Continent: North America
Biomes: Grassland, Temperate, Taiga
Small habitat requirements and some foliage
I don't know if they could have species enrichment

3. Red Fox
Social group: 3-4 (I'm not sure but I know they are solitary animals)
Continent: North America, Europe, Asia, Africa* (Yes, this specie is present in North Africa, according to IUCN website)
Biomes: Desert*, Grassland, Tropical*, Temperate, Taiga, Tundra (Yes, all biomes except aquatic because of its wide distribution. This is a bit strange, but if you check biome maps and the IUCN information, you will see that this animal could live in desert and tropical places in Asia for example)
Medium sized habitat and some foliage
It's a carnivore, it shouldn't share habitat with another animal

4. Common Wombat
Social group: 1-3?? (I know this a solitary specie)
Continet: Oceania
Biomes: Temperate
Medium sized habitat and some foliage??
Perhaps it could share habitat with Koalas?? (they share territories in the wild)

5. Egyptian fruit bats (I just know this animal through the trailer)
Perhaps they could have wide social groups as other bats
Continet: Africa, Asia
Biomes: Desert, Grassland, Tropical (This information is not very relevant for exhibition animals, but that's all I could find)

I was not aware, sorry
Thank you for your info

I highly doubt raccoons will have interspecies enrichment. They can be quite territorial. I think the only animal that may have an interspecies enrichment is the wombat, maybe with the kangaroo and koala? But I don't know enough about them

I do believe all the animals in this pack are solitary in nature in terms of inter species habitats. Wombats are quite territorial and although sometimes kept in a small communal habitat it’s not uncommon to see them chasing other animals on exhibit. The red fox obviously shy and elusive does best alone. However they are a closely knitted family animal while pups are young and mate with the same fox for life quite often. We have raccoon and skunk here and they coexist but tend to avoid each other and other animals as well. We’ve fed raccoons on occasion in our backyard at night and there’s been times they’ll eat along side opossums but you can tell neither animal particularly enjoys the others company.

Red panda have been kept with raccoons before, raccoons could probaly share with foxes and skunks (as i have to been to zoos with these combos)
and that might be it...

I stand corrected.

Definitely solitary in nature as your unlikely to see them hanging out in nature but will and can tolerate each other in zoos.

In Antwerp Zoo, where I go very often, they had a mixed raccoon/skunk exhibit for years and they were doing very well together. I might be wrong but I think they will have an interspecies bonus.

Something that was a concern for me, alligators were originally introduced as 1-2 habitat animal as I have seen habitats with many alligators, fortunately that changed days later. I’m still bummed dwarf caimans need that much space and will only take 1-2.
It seems and is suggested from all of you that the twilight animals truly are solitary animals who do well in zoos with more then 2+ (Exception being wombats). I would be disappointed if frontier sets the habitat limits for 1-2 with all of the twilight animals.
