Very glitchy jaguars

[PeppyPepp]

I have a huge problem with jaguars. They have more than enough space to run around and swim/deep dive. They would randomly get stuck and get into this glitchy twitchy animation. Like trying to move/walk, but they just stand in one spot, glitched until I move them to the trade center and back. It got to a point where they became hungry because they completely glitched out.

Anyone else have this issue? It's really starting to bother me because my animals go hungry (and potentially get to starving condition, but this time I was able to intervene because I just randomly checked on them) because of some bug.

That's a new one...
Be sure to check the traversable area in that habitat and ensure that there are no narrow areas where they get hung.

Is it always the same jaguar doing this, or is it all of them? Does it always happen in the same places in the habitat or does it appear to be random?

I've had situations where a particular individual animal will always get hung up in a particular place in their habitat. I'll discover the issue when I get a welfare alert. For instance, I had this one Capuchin monkey--always the same one--for a while who would get stuck in the same spot in her habitat. I didn't see anything in particular there that should have trapped her. It was on the ground by a particular tree, so I don't know if she got hung up trying to climb it? The traversable area map said she should have been fine there.

Also, one particular lemur kept getting stuck on the same rock over and over. She'd climb or jump up and not be able to get down. Again, it was always the same lemur, the rock was supposed to be traversable. I'd get a welfare alert. I do have cougar and snow leopard cubs getting stuck in trees occasionally and getting welfare alerts for that too. Picking the animals up and moving them helps in these situations, so maybe it's different from what you describe.

I suppose there's an element of realism there, like a particular housecat getting stuck in a tree over and over. I haven't encountered it with jaguars. Yet.

The main thing I get with climbing cat species in the game is this weird animation glitch, though. They are doing the tree climbing animation but look like they are suspended in the air next to the branch.

I've noticed that with Jaguars and certain trees as well. Wonder if it's the climb animations or the climb paths in those trees....
