  1. The Przewalski's Wild Horse was changed to also like the Coniferous Forest and Highland habitats. It was also changed to like foliage from those habitats more than the Grassland habitat and Broadleaf Bush foliage, which are what is shown in the purchase menu as its preferred habitat and foliage. So although it does not hurt anything, that is confusing and, therefore, the checker shows 2 warnings for it: *** Warning: cHabitat does not have max [cSuitableObjects] habitat value. *** Warning: cPrefIconID 7074 is not in [cSuitableObjects] with value > 0. The suitability guides show the changes. Suitability guide for the original animal: Foliage: Broadleaf Bush, Monkey Puzzle Tree (DD) Rocks: Large Rock, Small Rock, Medium Rock Foliage (for exhibit with 45 grid squares): 1 grid square should contain foliage. Foliage that would give the most happiness: Broadleaf Bush Since this is a small plant, greatest happiness will occur if the grid square contains 4 of this plant. Rocks (for exhibit with 45 grid squares): 4 Small Rock, which is its most liked rock Suitability guide for the hack: Foliage: Lodgepole Pine Tree, Fir Tree, Pine Tree, Bamboo, Yew Tree, Spruce Tree Yellow Cedar Tree, Western Larch Tree, Paper Birch Tree Western Red Cedar Tree, Chinese Fir Tree, Himalayan Birch Tree Western Juniper Tree, Himalayan Pine Tree, Sage Bush, Broadleaf Bush Pine Bush, Club Moss Shrub (DD), Walchian Conifer Tree (DD) Dawn Redwood Tree (DD), Lepidodendron Tree (DD), Monkey Puzzle Tree (DD) Norfolk Island Pine Tree (DD) Rocks: Large Rock, Small Rock, Medium Rock, Large Highland Rock Coniferous Forest Rock Formation, Medium Highland Rock (DD) Medium Coniferous Rock (DD), Highland Rock (CC) Foliage (for exhibit with 45 grid squares): 1 grid square should contain foliage. Foliage that would give the most happiness: Chinese Fir Tree Since this is a small plant, greatest happiness will occur if the grid square contains 4 of this plant. Rocks (for exhibit with 45 grid squares): 1 Medium Coniferous Rock (DD), which is its most liked rock

  4. As a vegan, I would not want the survival effort to be for food or hunting, but I do understand what you are saying Fern. The planet is not doing very well and I honestly don't think now is the time to start a revival effort of any extinct animal; better to save those projects for a hopefully better time in the future. I wish that the very rich individuals and corporations could commit more to preserving the endangered animals that are still hanging on. I've been reading about some very exciting research and methodology to rescue the oceans and cool off the rising temps. It may just be pipe dreams, but I'm holding on to hope. But yeah, humans, in my opinion, are the worst species.

  5. Oh I agree, although I would say dislike rather than hate. Since mankind seems motivated by ego and greed, then use those to save animals. So perhaps for some species the way would be to breed them for food or (don't shoot me for this) controlled trophy hunting. For the food at least they would be breeding them - the best to the best as well. If a percentage "wild release" was added into the breeders license then everyone wins - animals and people. For the trophy hunting which I am not fond of, this country has one good example. We have Tahr here which is endangered in its home country. It is thriving here but considered a pest cos it is damaging the environment and some rare plants that are in the region. We also have no natural predators to control animals here. Rather than eradicate it completely (which some want) its population is controlled by trophy hunting which brings is big money, provides employment and controls the population, while still allowing the animals to live.

  6. I've heard very scant buzz about helping the vaquita, but ultimately it's gotten nowhere. Yeah there's plenty in place to bring back the northern white rhino, but there's just crickets for other similarly imperiled species like the vaquita and, as of a few months ago, the Yangtze giant softshell turtle. But people don't really care about that because wouldn't it be funny if we brought back mammoths lmao

  7. I think you're right. I really hate humans most of the time.

  8. Do you think it's only a matter of time before the Vaquita is extinct? To me I'd say yes. Sometimes I do feel like humans are the greediest species and how we lost animals like passenger pigeons, great auks, the Labrador duck, and tons more that we've driven to extinction because of human activities. It's also sad that many animals without help will be as dead as a dinosaur. Sometimes when I think of saving species and their habitats I think of a line from the 1972 Lorax TV Special of "They say I'm old fashioned and live in the past, but sometimes I think progress progresses too fast!" It's just no doubt in my mind of the Vaquita becoming extinct.
