Wolf Coat Variation needed

[Jessiy]

my favorite thing about playing this game so far has to be the coat variations on zebras, wild-dogs ect.
however, it kind of bugs me that wolves where left out of this?
every single wolf i have bred and bought look exactly the same, unless we include scaring.

Timber wolves are known to have a wide variety of coat colors, and even usually when a lot of pack members look the same, some will have brown tinged coats while others will be grey, or they will have different facial markings. all we seem to have at the moment is a gray colored version, which is amusing as the most common colors are closer to brown, or have brown in the fur.

i really hope its planned to be added, wolves are my favorite animal, and i want to see them have uniqueness too

i also thing that older animals with fur should show more signs of ageing, eg, grey/silver fur, though ive a feeling this is being worked on.

i also wish, for more wolf species xD
i want to make a wolf sanctuary.

[as you can see here, even though they look the 'same' the faces and chests looks different on each)

As a species, gray wolves are one of the most visually diverse animals on the planet. It would really be a shame if we don't get variants for them.

Definitely! I’ve seen wolves in the wild and, they are normally a wide variety of colors. I’m surprised there isn’t at least a black variant? Hopefully we will see variety in the wolves.

I completely forgot to check this (and also couldn’t cause the animal market is so buggy), and I won’t have access to my PC for the weekend, but did the beta include the procedurally generated patterns and variations? You know, like on the zebras and that. Maybe it’s just not in the beta?

My animals all look identical. I'm assuming it's just not part of the beta and am hoping wolves are one of the animals that gets variations.

I’m sure they will since even the lions get it. In one of the dev diaries on Frontier's YouTube channel here. I'm sure that just because the wolf has longer fur, that won't intimidate Frontier to variate them, as well as generate the fur patterns.
I have also now realized that variations and pattern generation are two different things actually. Hopefully Frontier will cleverly mix the both for some really unique and personal animals in our zoos).
