[Captain Callum]

The snow leopard is actually pretty good on the size while the Galapagos tortoise definitely needs a size increase

I don't really feel like grouping literally every single animal since that may take some time and thought into that but I can mention good Vs bad animals in my preference. I consider all other animals good enough to not mention them, however I have yet to try out any of the tropical pack animals so will not include them


Favourite animals:

• Asian small clawed otter (personal favourite)
• Cougar
• African lion
• Recticulated Giraffe
• Maned Wolf
• African Penguin
• Red Ruffed Lemur
• Southern White Rhino
• Gorilla
• Meerkat

Bad animals

• Black Wildebeest
• Okapi
• Arctic Wolf
• Himalayan Brown bear
• Llama
• Nile Monitor
• Bengal Tiger

Animals to be replaced:

• Bengal Tiger - Sumatran Tiger
• Arctic Wolf - Wolverine
• Dall Sheep - Mountain Goat
• Nile Monitor - Nile Crocodile
• Llama - Vicuna
• Himalayan Brown bear - Eurasian brown bear
• Capuchin monkey - Squirrel Monkey

What is tierlist maker good for if not making me not forget anything?
Tiers are pretty much what they say they are and i gotta say, there really arnt animals that arnt fun to build for, besides the forbidden tier or animals that feel outclassed by other options. Mind you my zoos tend to be quite unthemed with animals coming as they fit, so while i still appreciate the dingo for what it can do in an australian area i dont feel like theres any reason to use them over any other wild dog that i subjectivly prefer or better fits into an area.
Pretty much animals in the green are animals that either need some help, got out competed or have some flaw cough cough noise polution cough cough that makes me rather meh about using them. Yellow animals are just standard nice and fun animals, split into nice and nice but i like them a tad more or that i feel offer something more unique like being a bird or being a great center piece animal, only not in the top cause building grand elephant, ape, hippo and polarbear habitats intimidates me
And top are my go to favorite animals in the game that i extremly enjoy building for, most of them having appeared in multiple zoos.
Also of note, i havent played with all animals yet, many of them that i havent used yet where grouped by 1. my general opinion why they havent been used yet so if something just didnt vibe with me yet to build for eventhough they are perfectly fine they are most likly in the yellow tiers or 2. i put them based of my enjoyment of similar animals, like the red river hog next to the other pigs or the water monitor next to the nile monitor.
Overall gotta say, i like pretty much all habitat animals in the game

What do you have against bonobos and siamang bro I absolutely love them. Granted the bonobos don't act realistically for obvious reasons but their model looks way better than the chimps.

I’d rather see other animals with more unique designs, bonobo is just a chimp, and chimps are one of my least favorite real life animals, unlike orangs and gorillas the chimp reminds me of us nasty humans

 

[peafowl]

My favorites: All the birds. Fossa. Platypus. Przewalski. All crocodilians and monitors. The butterflies. Clouded leopard. Giant otter. All deer. All lemurs. Babirusa.

Least favorites: Lion. Zebra. Cheetah. Base game bears. Just don't like the models. I also don't like the llama because I don't want farm animals.
