Now it should work, I uploaded the version from my dlupdate folder. 

 

Good stuff. Can confirm that the new version on the Drive contains the icmbongo folder now.

None of the cats in the recently released Kitties pack seem to have sound. Is this intentional or am I somehow missing a file?

Otherwise, nice models! I love the new lynxes.

Lynxes use sounds of Borsato´s Spanish lynx. Some kitties only make sounds as young, because I had problems finding good sounds for them (and they don´t sound like normal domestic kitties), so I gave up and made them without sounds. 

 

I have even less time than I anticipated, so here are just some prairie good boys. Meant as a small active animals to compliment exhibits of other ones. Except of white-tailed prairie dog - I planned to make it compatible with Gunnison sage grouse, but I wasn´t able to use the model, for some reason it cannot be rotated. And Mexican prairie dog is compatible with my burrowing owl, which I think I haven´t released yet. 

 

Animals: 

Black-tailed prairie dog, Gunnison´s prairie dog, Mexican prairie dog, Utah prairie dog, White-tailed prairie dog 

 

Compatibility: 

Black-tailed prairie dog - ingame American bison, and all animals compatible with it

Gunnison´s prairie dog - my Bolson tortoise, Shasta ground sloth and many (mostly unreleased) animals compatible with them

Utah prairie dog - my Mustang

 

Enjoy!

Prairie dogs oh yeah I was expecting more rodents and small mammals but can you do more deep sea and oceanic fish because I have some friends that are deep sea experts and marine biologists on deep sea and oceanic creatures

Gambian mongoose. Some tweeks are needed (prolonging mouth and tail, changing proportions so legs are smaller, maybe lowering belly, making neck stripe darker and more pronounced, and of course loading black texture underneath so the white colour isn´t visible on the tail), but I think it looks quite nice. Body stripes won´t be visible ingame, texture isn´t so sharp on such small animal.

Nice addition for zoos! Decades ago, in Madrid, I went to a zoo where prairie dogs were into an exhibit like a dry pond with a low fence

 

Nothing related to this, but prairie dogs are wild reservoirs of the plague 🦠🦠

Here in California, squirrels have tested positive for plague, too.

I´ve seen prairie dogs here in a mixed exhibits, one of the zoos around have large colony that spans several exhibits. They run wild and I am quite interested whether they had any accidents with ungulates breaking their legs in holes, because they can be seen at least in gemsbok, markhor, donkey, and camel enclosures. 

 

There´s always something insidious with those little buggers. They´re suspicious even among themselves. 

 

Anyway,

A little side project here, after I read some papers on lion haplogroups. And Gambian mongoose as a bonus. 

 

Animals: 

West African Lion, Ethiopian Lion, Katanga Lion

Gambian Mongoose

 

Compatibility:

Gambian mongoose, West African lion.

Yep. That can (rarely) work. https://www.facebook.com/zoochleby/videos/1145870766427364/

Would you be interested in me making a mongooses (probably slender mongooses) to be compatible with other lion subspecies? 

 

Enjoy!

The mongooses still seem pretty defensive in the video so they don't seem that at ease with having the lion there. I wonder what the actual set up of that enclosure is like?
