Welcome to the Gulo Gulo Gourmets

Once, i made a promise.
I rallied the people to support a missunderstood hero and i promised to do the same after our hero was recognised for the greatness that he is.
Now that our beloved trash panda made it into the game its time to full fill that promise.
So here i present to you a stinky, aggressive gremlin, the face of short man syndrome, creator of the world, Partner in crime of the wolf and a miscivious trickster and robber.
Im talking ofcourse about the wolverine, an animal that has fascinated humans for aslong as we know them.
They are part of some of the oldest storys we know from the people of north america, featuring most of the time as a trickster and scoundrel, but also as the literal creator of the known world in one culture.
Forming the earth from mud and sticks that he didnt even aquired himself.
Nowadays in modern times they are best known from sport teams and the x-man hero, but why should they be in planet zoo?

Well they actually have quite a few reasons and unlike the underdog of my heart they actually are quite popular and with good reason.
They are the largest and arguably most widespread mustelid (the old world otter takes up a good fight though), being the last terrestrial apex predator from its ecosystems that isnt in the game yet and eventhough its the largest mustelid, they would fill the niche of a medium sized carnivore, fitting right in between the gap of the foxes and the wolfs, bears and big cats.
The little big agressive reason why they should be in the game would mostly be their massive range.
Just look at this bad boy, covering pretty much the entire non alpine taiga biome.

I honestly doubt i need to do much convincing here though, afterall the wolverine allready is quite popular with very obvious and lucrative reasons to be included as an unlikly cultural icon of rage, gluttony and the art of not giving a single damn.
I hope mr sanrazo still liked this post though :)

Would be great to get the wolverine, its quite popular. For me personally, it a bit of nostalgia from ZT2 days, but also one of my local zoos has them, althoughI have seen them only like 2 times, as their enclosure is not best situated, it is really hard to see them. But they are awesome regardless.
 
The gluttonous glutton of gluttony is on top of my want list now (though, just barely over my #2). I promise to name all my Wolverines Logan and Laura should we be so fortunate to get them.

Really though, they're necessary in terms of the role they represent in their biome. A smaller sized apex predator in contrast to the bears, though I guess that's represented by the Arctic Wolf. Their ferociousness and tenacity is well documented, you could almost say legendary. They don't look like anything else in the game - I mentioned in another thread that visually, the binturong is the most visually similar animal in the game so far, which is to say not at all really.

Every time I think of what I'd like to see that is not tropics, desert or grassland animals, the Wolverine solidly comes to mind. It's the one temperate/taiga animal that I'd feel would really round out my zoo roster.
 
I personally don't care if we get the wolverine or not, but I'm supporting this for those that do want it.

The only thing the wolverine does for me is ZT2 nostalgia, but even then I barely used it
 
I truly believe it's question of "when" rather than "if".

If by some miracle Frontier makes both Highlands and Woodlands packs, and neither includes Wolverine, I will burn down their build...behave myself 😊
 
I really think we’ll get them this year. Probably highlands.

Wolverine
Takin
Markhor
Pallas cat
Spectacled Bear
Hamadryas Baboon/ Gelada
Alpine Marmot/ Hyrax

Seems like a reasonable lineup
 
I think some of the new animations from the Tasmanian devil could be reused for the wolverine. For example, the way both animals walk as if they were galloping. The day we get the wolverine it's going to be a masterpiece with all the experience Frontier has now ❤️
