Which in-game species have you seen IRL?

My guess would be only any older members might of seen a saiga when it was more common in captivity but I can't imagine many of us are old enough for that. Every thing else in the pack I have seen, does a wild mute swan mixed with the wild geese at the highland wildlife park count as a zoo sighting? Probably not 😂

To update my list with the Eurasia Animal Pack:
  • I have seen the sloth bear, takin, wild boar, wisent and wolverine in zoos; I may have also seen the Hermann's tortoise in a zoo, but definitely seen them in captivity.
  • Seen the mute swan in the wild but not, to my knowledge, in captivity.
  • Never seen a saiga antelope.

Also managed to track down the photos of sloth bear, boar, wisent and wolverine I have taken in zoos - albeit the boar and wolverine were both sleeping when I saw them.

Awwwwww they like apples? Is their fur bristly?

Feels like a rough broom with dry dirt or an old brush that got dry with color on it.
Still fun though

Also the banger tip, most wild parks (not all do not feed animals if it isnt explicitly allowed) allow visitors to bring apples, carrots and stale bread to fed the ungulates with, with apples being by far the most desired by the animals from my experience

Fun idea, I'll have to check how many species I have photographed.

+ Takin, sloth bear, mute swan

Funny how the list of species I'm excited for in this pack is the exact same as the list of species I've seen before.

I guess technically wild boars fall in the "probably seen but don't remember" category that Dall sheep and collared peccary are in for me, but I'm not going to count it.
