personable and productive.
Good one.
Perfection
That's awesome.Well yeah I'm greedy like that
I remember watching an Attenborough documentary when I was a kid. It was about SA and this one episode focused on the monkeys. All these different species of monkey that lived together at different levels of the canopy. And it blew my wee little mind to learn that not only do the moneys have languages, different squeaks and chirrups that were vocabulary for different foods, predator threats and social interactions, but also the different species of monkey could understand each other! So a tamarin would say "eagle!" And they'd all dash down to the floor, and a marmoset would say "jaguar!" And they'd all run up to the tree tops. They even found instances of monkeys lying! One would find some good fruit, dash somewhere else, yell "yum tasty fruit!" Then sneak back to their bounty while the others went to look for the invisible fruit!
That's why we need multiple species of SA monkey, stat
Well, red fox is invasive, dromedaries are invasive, there are feral emus and ostriches in Texas, apparently. Just saying the game has tons of invasive species, so not wanting the wild boar or blackbuck is silly, even though I understand the sentiment
Im fine with bugs when they are in the wild im even fine holding them but the second they are in my personal space without permission they become a living nightmare.
What if on the pack release there is a game breaking bug that lock players out of their zoos or games if they leave the pack till right before everyone leaves the office and this happens people wont be able to play the game till january which would be a pr nightmare for frontier.
What about the people building zoos in china. You cant just claim an animal is unrealistic when it is a staple in zoos of a particular region fine if its not in zoos at all or only in a few zoos in a narrow region but if its common in china it is an important part of building a chinese zoo an is not an unrealistic choice.
This is a perfect summary of half the arguments about animal choices
Yeah the majority of the english speaking world and the majority of zoos are in europe and north america so this forum has a very big bias towards them. oceania tends to be able to defend its additions hence not that much outrage against the quokka but the rest of the world has zoos, and alot of them yet people always claim animals from these regions are not realistic because they have such a western centric mindset which annoys me to no end.
What I dont understand is how an animal being in the game breaks immersion if you dont like it dont use it no one is forcing it into your parks.
Then they always try to back track and defend their hypocrisy
by "realism you mean europe and north american focused" dont confuse realistic western zoo animals with what is realistic globally and dont you dare bring up the EAZA a heavily biased dataset to defend you.No, seriously as a realism centric person, I'd rather get no monkey than the GSNM. It would be another another I scroll past quickly in the zoopedia (ex: Himalayan brown bear)
My logic is it takes an asian monkey spot. I personally would like a langur. Francois's or gray, just give me a langur plz And the likely of getting both is low soooo.
But if you want that GSNM, I don't care. Just don't give Frontier ideas
I have seen is at least one chinese person campaigning for it and saying its iconic but shockers its an english forum not many chinese people to debate with also it wont replace the baboon that idea is ridiculous another asian monkey like a macaque maybe but if they are planning a baboon it will be a baboon.
yeah for me the red fox, fallow deer and dromedary camel will always be tainted but they are still useful animals to others. My real problem with invasive animals is the inconsistent continent labels the monarch butterfly is not native to oceania yet it is labelled as such if that includes the invasive range why dont other animals
Oh, just wait til you read up on sperm whales ...
Oh no, no, no, no, no. As an American, Twilight is my least favorite pack. No white-tailed deer, please! I'm basic, give me mostly animals between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn and I'm happy.
so the white tailed deer its found in both tropics
That's what I find odd. Just because an animal is invasive in one place doesn't make it bad elsewhere. I mean, animals that we consider amazing are invasive elsewhere while animals that others consider amazing we consider invasive. It just seems kinda pointless the whole idea in general
Having worked with orca researchers and hearing their vocalization via hydrophones here’s what I can tell you
I know that. That's why I don't use those species! I was making a joke about them having to see them in the Zoopedia, I honestly don't care. The last thing I want to do is invalidate others' wishes and it's never my intention.
Well, yes. I didn't confuse anything. I know the world doesn't revolve around Western society. It's not like I have anything against non-Western zoos, I thoroughly enjoyed the ones I've been to. I just didn't add a couple extra words.
Wrong, Coyote is worse
