Why can’t Red Foxes climb?

[Orkan]

I am building a Red Fox habitat and just found out they can’t use climbable objects? If you look up Red Fox Zoo Habitat most of the main ones have climbing equipment. I just thought this was a bit strange.

Red fox are not true climbers like a gray fox. They can jump 6ft into the air in real life which may be how habitat designs may be influenced.

I did manage to work around their mechanics in-game, but I think this one at the Utica zoo is intended for climbing.

that structure isnt exactly climbing (in pz climbing system sense)
many animals, including goats can use such a frame
but pz's climbing system needs animals to climb vertically on poles and ropes for limitless distances
only animals that can do this should be added to the system
others are probably better off with the jumping workaround

a grey fox for the climbing system would be neat tho
