It goes by yourself. I merge them by author when I gather several items from the same creator and lesser categories like fences or scenery for miscellaneous creators

So say I make a folder/combined file called "Buffzoo" and I would just combine everything by him and it would still work? Forgive me I'm still a bit new to how ztds work.

Yup. As long as you do not mess with the .ztd content, the name of the sole file is not a big deal.

If you scroll down a bit, you'll see several tutorials from different members using different techniques.  Hopefully, one of those will help!

It´s made, both North American and Eurasian. I just have to convince someone to make beaver dam object for me (maybe shelter? maybe rock that doesn´t count into rock pref? Haven´t fully thought it out yet).

 

Someone wanted wolf subspecies pack, if I remember correctly.

 

Animals:

Dire Wolf, Iberian Wolf, Himalayan Wolf, Indian Wolf, Arabian Wolf, Italian Wolf, Japanese Wolf, Tundra Wolf, Northwestern Wolf, White Shepherd, Dobermann, New Guinea Singing Dog, Side Striped Jackal, Vulpes Alopecoides

 

Compatibility:

Dire Wolf - Khaydar´s Short-Faced Bear

Himalayan Wolf - ingame Asiatic Black Bear, my Himalayan Bear, Tibetan Blue Bear

Arabian Wolf - Khaydar´s Striped Hyena

Tundra Wolf - Borsato´s Wolverine

White Shepherd, Dobermann - my good bois

Vulpes Alopecoides - ingame Woolly Mammoth

 

Compatibility comments:

bear/wolf mixed exhibits are surprisingly common in zoos (https://zoorope.hu/en-mixed-exhibit-canidae/ ) and while I found some instances when bear killed wolves, it can surprisingly go without issues for decades, if the animals aren´t breeding (I even found a video of a wolf and a bear playing together in zoo). Very rarely, they can even form certain kind of attachment in the wild, too (https://www.boredpanda.com/bear-friend-wolf-lassi-rautiainen/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic ). So I decided to make some of these combinations possible in ZT. There will be more bear subspecies in some future pack, some compatible with wolves or foxes (based on https://zoorope.hu/en-mixed-exhibit-ursidae/ ).

Hyena/Arabian wolf combination is based on this (very rare) observation: https://www.timesofisrael.com/in-israel-hyenas-and-wolves-team-up-to-survive/. In theory, it should be probably more possible to make this kind of mixed species relationship work in the zoo than in the wild (separate feeding to avoid competition, possibility of getting animals slowly used to each other since young age, etc.), but I do not know of any zoo that has tried it.

Wolverine - tundra wolf is an odd combination, but that´s because I am planning to make Kamchatkan brown bear compatible with both of them ( https://zoorope.hu/en-mixed-exhibit-ursidae/ ). So you would be able to choose your combination, wolf+bear or bear+wolverine, if you want to have strictly mixed exhibit that has worked in real zoo. In theory, combination of wolf+wolverine might work with right individuals (Africam safari in Mexico has very elaborate mixed exhibit with deer, turtles, geese, ducks, coots, peccaries, coyotes, black bears and Mexican gray wolves, which work because wolves are old and geriatric (and very calm individuals to boot). Source: https://zoolex.org/media/uploads/2021/07/12/2021_svabik_mixed_peccaries.pdf 

Vulpes alopecoides/woolly mammoth is just a Pleistocene version of this exhibit: https://www.zoochat.com/community/media/bat-eared-foxes-in-elephant-enclosure.502729/

 

I do not know if you are interested in this kind of thoughts behind my animals (especially their compatibility), but if someone is interested, I can write similar text for my future packs.

 

Enjoy!

Interested in adding in the Dobermann and White Shepard but couldn't find them in the Google Drive, is there a reason why they're missing?
