[midnight moon]

I’ve been hunting a lot of red deer lately

[vivid cosmos]

oh yeah that's what it means lol

[shadow prism]

Honestly that looks like an Asian golden cat

[vivid cosmos]

Big Cats shouldn't scare prey unless they are chasing

[finite wagon]

Less than an hour ago

[low citrus]

Ideal scenario

Tho I do hope they tone down how easily they spook off other animals

[wraith gale]

Yeah it makes sense the trailer had a roar in the jungle a snow leopard wouldn’t be in the jungle. Then they revealed leopard on the mountain which probably confirmed it was a tiger in the trailer

[finite wagon]

I dont see it tbh

[stiff leaf]

ew has proved that they can have different biomes in one map and pull it off well (australia)

[shadow prism]

Just in the face imo but the colors are off

[stiff leaf]

so i wonder what this map will be like

[finite wagon]

Markings around the eyes are way different lol

[real flame]

literally

[shadow prism]

Smaller head

[vivid cosmos]

they hadn't reveal a Snow leopard its just a half rounded face on a bush, we can't even see the colors correctly cause it's on the shade

[midnight moon]

I was looking at the ears to see if those would help but I think it’d take someone more experienced in that stuff than me to figure it out

[shadow prism]

Use that one then

[finite wagon]

The brows are definitely a lot lighter in the model but it kinda matches with snow leo pretty well

[midnight moon]

I still gotta go back to college for a degree in zoology and or wildlife sciences

[vivid cosmos]

that one is even less clear

[shadow prism]

The head look the same the bigger flatter look

[red violet]

Would be very disappointing if it is snow leopards. But that's just me.🤷‍♀️

[finite wagon]

Face shape here also says snow leopard to me. Pretty chunky

[hexed moth]

does anyone know when the stream reveal is gonna be?

[wraith gale]

It’s a snow leopard a tiger in the mountains seems like an odd reveal for tigers

[vivid cosmos]

the face has white fur around the eyes, that's not a snow leopard pattern

not really

[hexed moth]

this legit makes me so sad

[finite wagon]

21 hours

[shadow prism]

Yeah look at the second cat at the top then that one side profile looks almost identical

[hexed moth]

i know its a game

but it still just feels wrong

[midnight moon]

How is white around the face not a snow leopard pattern?

[finite wagon]

Yeah, but this is COTW we're talking about, lol. I do agree the eye markings are more like a tiger, but it being a snow leopard woudnt be far fetched for COTW

[red violet]

100% with you on thin

[vivid cosmos]

refer to bighorn sheep before comparing true animals to ingame models

[red violet]

this*

[peak cedar]

you guys are over analyzing the crap out of this lol

[vivid cosmos]

I guess we will see, Leopards don't roar

[mighty dove]

It’s our specialty

[peak cedar]

they try to do the models as best they can but it's not always a 1:1 in accuracy

[finite wagon]

Just the white patches above and below the eyes are tiger-like

[midnight moon]

That’s a great point actually

[shadow prism]

Fair point but your also using their old models look at some newer ones and how they’ve improved

[hexed moth]

i understand people wanting new exciting animals, but essentially it feels like glorifying hunting endangered animals to sell games

[shadow prism]

No way it’s a tiger the ears are different and the head shape and colors are off

[midnight moon]

That is true the fur in the rest of the face looks a little darker

[hexed moth]

thats what i think too

[peak cedar]

it's not a tiger because of one reason alone...snow leopards don't roar lol

[midnight moon]

And there was the roar as MRD said

[deft cargo]

so hear me out on this, what if the animal is a snow leopard BUT, it has a GO variant thats literally a tiger?

i doubt they will give us two big cats in one map

[shadow prism]

Have you looked at the cat stalking the deer from the first teaser

[peak cedar]

why not, no different than 2-3 predators on the current maps

[low citrus]

That doesn’t make any sense at all considering GO variants are literally just fur/antler variations, not straight up different species

[shadow prism]

I’ll put money on the fact they will

[vivid cosmos]

the... what...?

[stiff hornet]

That looks like a Lynx to me, but maybe I’m tripping.

[hexed moth]

except theyre both protected species that can't legally be hunted

[vivid cosmos]

the... what?

brb

[finite wagon]

No yeah thats what I was thinking too but why would they use an already existing species to promote a new map??

[stiff hornet]

I guess I can see a white tiger there

[peak cedar]

Medved has, Brown Bear, Lynx and Gray Wolves

SRP has Black Bear and Mountain Lion

...it's a predator, just because it's two cats I don't see the big deal tbh

[low citrus]

How is that an argument against what I’m saying?

[midnight moon]

I really hope if it’s a tiger that the mela variants look decent

[hexed moth]

white tigers cant survive to adulthood in the wild

[midnight moon]

Albino is good too

[stiff hornet]

Where did you find that pic?

[peak cedar]

because they can't blend in and stalk prey

[hexed moth]

yeah usually they get killed as cubs too because they just cant hide from predators (male tigers)

[halcyon kindle]

This is gonna be amazing

[stiff hornet]

Man I’m thinking that’s a Snow Leopard now, just based on the terrain. It’s so hard to tell. We’ll probably find out tomorrow lol.

[peak cedar]

exactly

[dim saffron]

Tiger

[meager crater]

This is a video game 😯

[finite wagon]

It can definitely be argued that the animal looks like it has ear tufts but I think its just branches because I dont see ear tufts on the other ear

[peak cedar]

$20 it's not a tiger 👍

[hexed moth]

omg really?

[midnight moon]

Look can we all agree that either way no matter what the animal is, it’s still pretty freakin awesome?

[keen belfry]

Ears look too round to be a lynx anyway

[finite wagon]

That too ^

[vivid cosmos]

can you send a Screen shot?

[peak cedar]

it's not a lynx

[shadow prism]

One sec

[hexed moth]

nah

[peak cedar]

look at the current lynx model in the game lol

[midnight moon]

Cat in the photo is a snow leopard 100%

[vivid cosmos]

I'll take that money

[midnight moon]

Roar from video is a tiger

[finite wagon]

Yeah, I like that we're getting a new big cat anyways

[midnight moon]

Yeah me too, and hopefully more unique species

[peak cedar]

I'll buy the map FOR you if that is a tiger. That's how confident I am lmao

[vivid cosmos]

Ok it's a bet

I'll get it for you if it isn't a tiger

[dim saffron]

He gonna buy the map to someone then

[meager crater]

That cat is absolutely not a tiger 😂

[finite wagon]

Still holding on to hope for Indian leopard but even if that dosent get added I'll take any feline

[grim meteor]

3rd option of all three B]

[daring geode]

heres my thinking, so i see were ur at with the ear tufts, but to me it looks like branches of some sort. i maybe wrong tho

[low citrus]

Snow leopard is probably the coolest cat they could’ve added to this game besides maybe caracals, so I’m happy regardless of what new species we get

[meager crater]

That’s a snow leopard for the snowy mountain biome, tiger will be on jungle

[vivid cosmos]

i just don't see the tufts tho, I see shadow and branches

[wind ridge]

So Snow Leopard in Mountains and Indian Leopard in Sub-Alpine Forests

[peak cedar]

I'll grind for a super rare euro rabbit and smoke it with the 470 if that model is a lynx 😂

[red violet]

I would just find it very weird putting highly protected species in the Game.

[hexed moth]

tigers live in both

[shadow prism]

Bad phone btw so when I zoom in quality is horrid but

[midnight moon]

I mean hey I’m not getting my dream big cat either, really want to hunt Jaguar

[shadow prism]

Now go watch the vid watching that area you can see the tiger walk

[hexed moth]

two highly protected species

[finite wagon]

This is Nepal, the tigers that live in the snow are Siberian tigers.

[peak cedar]

that's a fairly good possibility considering the direction they're going now, just saying

[keen belfry]

Again, I realize that this may be the first time a Snow Leopard has ever been seen in a full hunting focused game

[hexed moth]

a bengal tiger will go into mountains

[red violet]

Exactly...

[vivid cosmos]

Pareidolia

[midnight moon]

I am hoping to hunt in the Amazon

[shadow prism]

No I’ve seen them before on little mobile games and stuff for hunting

[finite wagon]

Im pretty sure there was a snow leopard in a Cabelas game but I don't remember which

[hexed moth]

poaching simulator

[vivid cosmos]

Say it louder for the kids in the back

[hexed moth]

a bengal tiger will go wherever tf it wants lol

[wind ridge]

ThePoacher: Call of the Wild 🫤

[shadow prism]

I’m not trying to be rude or anything but why don’t you like the endangered animals in the game

[finite wagon]

I don't doubt it tbh

[hexed moth]

it will go to costco without a membership

[peak cedar]

you do realize after a year of no maps, if they din't pull something like this the game would be in big trouble lmao

[keen belfry]

I don’t count mobile games. Those aren’t real hunting games

[shadow prism]

I remember shooting a elephant or rhino in cabelas dangerous hunts

[midnight moon]

Mobile hunting games are ass

[hexed moth]

glorifying hunting animals that were brought to near extinction because of humans to sell a game is disgusting and morally bankrupt

[low citrus]

But, yknow, those games are allowed to have endangered animals but COTW isn’t

[midnight moon]

I get adds for that hunting sniper all the time

[peak cedar]

you can only make so many "HM, Great One Grinding #?" livestreams and videos before people just don't watch that crap anymore lol

[low citrus]

Cuz they’re nostalgic and whatever other bs

[shadow prism]

They actually do have a few

[wheat mist]

oh so it's a snow leopard, cool

[midnight moon]

I’ve kinda wanted to start a hunting competition in game

[low citrus]

I’m aware but people throw hissy fits over COTW having them

[shadow prism]

People don’t have to play it

[low citrus]

Precisely

[wheat mist]

funny i literally said snow leopard as a joke when the teaser dropped and came out to be real

[low citrus]

If you’re that upset over a game including endangered animals then I dont know what to tell you lol

[wheat mist]

altho odd because snow leopards literally cannot roar

[shadow prism]

I figured we would get one I’m assuming we will get another long shot sure but maybe

[low citrus]

As if people don’t literally slaughter multiple thousands of red deer in game which would literally be cataclysmic irl

[wheat mist]

perhaps sundarpatan has both snow leopard and indian leopard?

[grim meteor]

if it is a snow leopard, thered be two new big cats, doubt the one in the tailer was a snow leopard

[low citrus]

But whatever, this cat being in the game is the final straw I guess

[mighty dove]

This game has been out for seven years and everyone knows EW are very respectable with how animals are hunted. They absolutely do not endorse poaching and unethical hunting. People really need to get over themselves because at the end of the day it’s just a game and most people here are against poaching IRL

[red violet]

It's not throwing a "hissy fit". Game claims to be realistic, the team is always about conservation and they even have Anti-poaching missions. But then putting animals in there that would land you in prison if you hunt them? Give me a break

[peak cedar]

Community Logic: Poaching Sim (Snow Leopards and Tigers)

Also Community Logic: Euro Bison back in 2017 on hirsch being on the edge of Endangered but now just Threatened. OH that's fine!

[finite wagon]

It really could just be a matter of stylization (and honestly, I woudn't mind this, it is neat stylization) but the eye markings are pretty tiger like lol. Snow leopards dont rlly get those brows

[peak cedar]

makes no damn sense lol

[shadow prism]

I’ll argue that I think everybody here is against poaching

[wheat mist]

why are people analyzing the picture

it is clearly a snow leopard

[shadow prism]

Look at the top cat too the shape just gives it away even more

[mighty dove]

I was trying to be reasonable about it because I assumed someone would troll and say they were for it lol

[grim meteor]

yeah the white bits do read tiger to me, but given the wonky lighting, low quality, and obscurdness im not betting 100%

even fi i do want tigers :P

[finite wagon]

Yup esp the face its got a snow leopardy face shape

[peak cedar]

we have to look at the pictures as many times as needed to confirm it is not a Tiger or Lynx 🤣

[shadow prism]

Yeah but in all seriousness nobody here would want any animal to go extinct

[tulip ingot]

I see more tiger than snow leopard in the face

[low citrus]

In Hirsch it’s literally been stated that because of the protection laws the European bison proliferated and are out of control now, which is why you hunt them. If anyone is really that butthurt about it I’m sure a similar explanation can be made for snow leopards and/or tigers

[mighty dove]

I agree

[hexed moth]

not if its in a game apparently

[tardy sail]

me neither

[wheat mist]

i actually want feral invasive species to go extinct

[tardy sail]

what are we agreeing about?

[wheat mist]

in the places where they dont belong

[mighty dove]

Because it’s a game

[finite wagon]

Ok but the invasive feral hogs in the states and all the deer species in australia and new zealand lol

[wheat mist]

like cats in australia for exampol

[shadow prism]

It’s a game that’s it they are only pixels we arnt harming them in any way not trying to be rude but they arnt getting shot

[wheat mist]

god I hate feral cats

[low citrus]

While maybe they shouldn’t go fully extinct they 100% need to be completely removed from the ecosystems they don’t belong in

[finite wagon]

So true

[wheat mist]

still mad we cannot shoot down feral australian cats in emerald coast

[hexed moth]

so what is it saying? hunting these animals is fine in fiction, why not reinstate that it isnt?

for all you know some rich 16 year old will see this and say "yeah okay"

[wheat mist]

oh yeah, I guess the more correct term is extirpated

[molten pond]

I feel like a lot of simple minded people think that poaching is the hunting of charismatic, exotic creatures when in reality, it's just hunting any animal that you are not legally allowed. Hunting a whitetail without the proper tags is considered poaching for example

[wheat mist]

or locally extinct idk

[low citrus]

If anything this game teaches you to be respectful while hunting lol. With all the harvest checks you need to pass for it to be a “legitimate kill” it shows you can’t just fire eighteen .308 rounds into the skull of a whitetail and be proud of it

[wheat mist]

anyway, cool

[hexed moth]

alright, poaching of endangered, legally protected species

[wheat mist]

snow leopard

[meager crater]

100% a snow leopard

[low citrus]

Snow leopard

[tardy sail]

goofball

[shadow prism]

Yeah and it shows you need to be accurate and use the right guns

[low citrus]

Hmmmrg cat…

[wheat mist]

they are pretty smol

[orchid swallow]

Wow that "rich 16 year old" is kinda scratching it don't ya think? Lol

[molten pond]

snow leopards are not endangered

[tardy sail]

goobertoon goofball

[peak cedar]

why are we circling a ROCK over and over again lol

[grim meteor]

yeah that ones a rock lol

[mighty dove]

We can never be happy

[hexed moth]

no i dont, because a bunch of rich people saw the movie titanic and look where that led them

[red violet]

In Nepal, they have been legally protected since 1973, with penalties of 5–15 years in prison and a fine for poaching and trading them

[shadow prism]

No way that’s a rock

[peak cedar]

it's literally a rock someone already posted the enhanced picture.

in 4k

[low citrus]

Precisely. People are acting as if other people have little to no common sense and see a hunting game and immediately go “hmmm I MUST shoot 1800 whitetail in Wisconsin for my trophy cabin”

[finite wagon]

WHERE

[wheat mist]

um snow leopards are vulnerable? 🤓 ☝️ this is how yall sound whenever someone says a species is endangered and the IUCN status is not specifically endangered

[mighty dove]

I’m actually hopping on a flight to Nepal as we speak

[shadow prism]

Alright so I have a question

[finite wagon]

Hell yeah man

[hexed moth]

there is nowhere on earth you can legally hunt them, they're intrernationally protected. same with tigers

[low citrus]

Like, I did a 21.1k red deer grind over the course of a few months. It’s only logical I quickly travel to Europe and eradicate them there because that’s what this game taught me to do right?

[peak cedar]

ROCK

[shadow prism]

In my bear grind I’ve killed 3000 bears but I haven’t had any urge to go illegally shoot and bears irl

[peak cedar]

is it not an animal lol

[shadow prism]

Look farther left

[peak cedar]

it is also a rock

[shadow prism]

Nah u can see head shape and stuff lol

[peak cedar]

the caption in said "cat" not "cats" people

[low citrus]

No no no clearly this game taught you to do exactly that why aren’t you exterminating those bears irl what’s wrong with you

It’s such a stupid argument

[orchid swallow]

Lol you're kinda over reacting to this lol. No real Tigers or snow leopards will be harmed because there in this game. It's ok relax.

[finite wagon]

There are actually a few places that farm raise tigers (and lions) for people to shoot but thats not hunting thats just literally shooting fish in a barrel except said fish in a barrel are tigers in a cage

[keen belfry]

That, and the CotW channel already debunked it on a Twitter comment

[shadow prism]

I hunt elk irl I’ve shot and elk 20 times in game with a 223 haven’t done it irl though

[peak cedar]

I shot a rabbit with a 470, it didn't make me want to go out and buy a big rifle and shoot a cottontail in my backyard

[shadow prism]

Shot a buffalo 80 times with a 22 haven’t had the urge to in irl

[keen belfry]

That poor virtual bovid

[red violet]

no one said that you go out in about poaching real animals when you play the game...It's about devs caring for conservation on one hand and then putting protected species in the game that you are not allowed to hunt in RL. That's what some people have a problem with

[shadow prism]

Multiple actually it’s fun

But I wouldn’t do it irl

[peak cedar]

That is so UnEtHiCaL 🤪

[finite wagon]

Ok wait i found a photo of a snow leo that kinda has this

[hexed moth]

they dont care, theyre too focused on the "BuT ITs JUsT a gaME"

[hoary crypt]

if this hypothetical teenager actually got to nepal to shoot said big cat... if its irl he would be arrested and charged big time... Its a game.

[meager crater]

It’s a video game, womp womp stay soft

[shadow prism]

It’s because it is just a game

[hexed moth]

so kids who play the game will think hunting these animals is okay and normal

cool

[low citrus]

If an individual looks at a game where you hunt animals and go “okay yes I have to slaughter these things irl” I don’t think it’s the fault of the game and moreso that this individual is mentally deranged

[shadow prism]

I played as a kid haven’t changed me

Like 12 but still

[hexed moth]

respecting animals applies to media as well

[meager crater]

If you don’t like it don’t play the game and don’t come to discord to complain, send them a strongly worded email I’m sure that’ll help

[finite wagon]

Cabelas literally has a game where you gun down THOUSANDS of cape buffalo while on a moving truck

[peak cedar]

you missed the entire point of what I covered earlier lmao

The devs are doing this to bring hype back into the game. What choice did they have? You honestly think a map like this without Tiger or Snow Leopard (no big cats) would sell well?

Don't even need to take a marketing class or business to understand how dumb that would be

[mighty dove]

Most kids are probably in the discord watching this discussion go down so they are probably more informed than the average adult

[finite wagon]

But you dont see people doing that irl

[hoary crypt]

then why are you playing a hunting game?

[finite wagon]

Oh they also gun down hundreds of leopards too while on a moving truck but you dont see people doing that irl

[shadow prism]

Fr

[peak cedar]

just take 10-15% of all sales from the map and donate it to a conservation to help protect the species IRL. Win win 🤷‍♂️

[hexed moth]

selling out protected species for profit, that's cool

[molten pond]

This is like saying every kid who plays call of duty is going to be a mass shooter. It's a completely false and wrong take

[red violet]

JFC...that's not the point

[shadow prism]

Look it’s a game it’s all pixels and in the end. You don’t have to play it

[peak cedar]

you my friends are lost on how business works, you do what you have to do to keep floating lol

can't make everyone happy

[orchid swallow]

Nobody is gonna shoot a tiger in this game and be like " oh i'ma go shoot one in real life". That's like saying if a kid shoots someone with a RPG in a first person shooter game there'll going to do that in real life. Get a grip lol it's not as serious as all that.

[shadow prism]

I love how nobody’s brings up saltwater crocs being endangered when they are but we haven’t even brought them up

[low citrus]

Me when I’m in a missing-the-point competition and my opponent is you

[mighty dove]

When my teacher asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I said a poacher

[finite wagon]

People mine diamonds and fall into lava in minecraft but you dont see people mining diamonds then falling into lava in a cave irl do you

[shadow prism]

They are probably the most hunted animals as well

[peak cedar]

lmao Oligator 💀

[fierce bay]

200%

[molten pond]

It should also be important to know that hunter has never been a realistic hunting game. We as a community would have already hunted everything to extinction if it was realistic

[meager crater]

Selling them out how? It’s a mf video game if you think because I shot them in a game I’ll go eradicate them irl your soft ideology is getting the better of you

[low citrus]

ATP they’re actively choosing to ignore any and all points made because they believe everyone but themselves is wrong, I say we just stop giving them attention lol

[wind ridge]

Saltwater crocs can be harvest in wild and farm in Queensland, NT and Western Australia in private lands, is diferent

[shadow prism]

Yea ima have to agree

[hoary crypt]

yeah

[low citrus]

Anyways

Snow leopards are probably my favourite cat species

[peak cedar]

Wait until they find out they sell expensive tags IRL to kill off old rhinos and endangered species to help fund more conservation for them @low citrus 😂

[low citrus]

I can’t wait to see the rare fur types they have in-game

[meager crater]

They will be very fun to hunt

[low citrus]

Agreed

[mighty dove]

Do they have little nubs for tails?

[meager crater]

I hope they actually make them super hard to spot

[fierce bay]

this one looks kind like a piepald to me

[orchid swallow]

You're right of course. But all the points that they have made have been so stupid lol. It just can't be helped I guess.

[shadow prism]

Same and tigers

[low citrus]

Again tho, I hope that they tone down how easily other animals are spooked by predators. It can be annoying sometimes especially when they’re everywhere

[wheat mist]

best cat

[mighty dove]

Honestly this does look like a tiger

[meager crater]

Oh no

[peak cedar]

how many people want to take back their statement of "I want it to be a GO Tiger, for the next one" now that we know about this? I'm questioning it myself now 💀

[low citrus]

God they’re adorable

[meager crater]

Delete this before you get mobbed with it’s a rock comment a

[mighty dove]

Okay so no nub for tails but god that’s a long tail

[shadow prism]

Just the head shape to me is screaming leopard

[peak cedar]

ITS a ROCK

[mighty dove]

You’re a rock

[low citrus]

No its NOT it is CAT

[keen belfry]

I have no problem with hunting any critters in this game, but there is absolutely no way I am hunting them irl

[peak cedar]

I hate you...

[low citrus]

I love you ❤️

[mighty dove]

Let us be delusional

[languid hill]

cute

[peak cedar]

😩

[grim meteor]

the zoomed version actually makes it seem like it can be a leopard, i take it back its a bit more dubious

[last moat]

holdup so is that thing a rock or second snow leo

[tulip ingot]

Nuh uh

[molten pond]

rocks are pretty tasty

[low citrus]

CAT

[last moat]

bcs it actually looks like snow leo to me

[languid hill]

it doesnt look like a rock

[peak cedar]

my teeth would disagree

[mighty dove]

They knew what they were doing when they posted that picture, damn them

[languid hill]

looks more like a snow kitty

leopard

or something

[meager crater]

I said it was a snow leopard as well

[molten pond]

skill issue

[abstract kite]

The one in red is not a rock

[low citrus]

Bro got weak ahh enamel

[last moat]

indeed

[low citrus]

I’ve drank so much milk my bones have been fortified by calcium to the point they might as well be reinforced by solid steel

[peak cedar]

I'm not even going to debate this anymore. Cat or no cat, we clearly see the one we need to see.

[low citrus]

I eat rocks for breakfast, lunch and dinner

[peak cedar]

in the brush

[abstract kite]

Yup

[peak cedar]

that explains a lot

[shadow prism]

Nuh uh

[low citrus]

:3

[tulip ingot]

Rock have minerals. Me eat rock.

[low citrus]

I’m like an anteater if it ate rocks

[mighty dove]

Mc, would you like to hear a knock knock joke?

Knock knock

[low citrus]

killing you with my mind

[mighty dove]

Who’s there?

[finite wagon]

Either way, no matter if its a tiger or leopard or secret third thing im gonna force my wet rat to hunt his distant cousins in game (JOKE)

[mighty dove]

Not the rock because it doesn’t exist

[peak cedar]

lmao this is the most one sided knock knock I have ever witnessed 😂

[shadow prism]

That’s a cat

[languid hill]

wet rat

[low citrus]

Soggy…

[mighty dove]

LMAO

[rotund wadi]

Looks like a snow leopard, but snow leopards don't roar I thought?

[peak cedar]

I didn't even have time to respond!

[rotund wadi]

Granted they put a cow's udder on the goats for eons so I guess would be in line with that

[mighty dove]

XD

[languid hill]

💦 🐀 ??

wet rat?

[mighty dove]

I didn’t think you would tbf

[peak cedar]

I tried 😩

too fast for me

[finite wagon]

Its a joke LOL

[shadow prism]

d i f f e r e n t s p e i c e s

[finite wagon]

He looks like a wet rat

[rotund wadi]

I like snow leopards though, so would be nice. Welp guess we'll see

[low citrus]

WRONG he is a SOGGY rat

[languid hill]

water rat new species

they swim

they fish

[finite wagon]

His tail looses all fluff and looks like a rat tail instead

[peak cedar]

who's a wet rat 🤨

[rotund wadi]

Yes I'm aware "different species" - as it's spelled - is a thing lol, I was just making a comment. Not sure why there are so many spaces in your reply but okay. 😊

[finite wagon]

My cat lmao

[abstract kite]

U

[finite wagon]

Ok im gonna take this to #🦝︴pet-pics

[mighty dove]

Different ✨ spices ✨

[low citrus]

Imagine we get the Elden Ring rats

[shadow prism]

Nah but I think we are getting tigers and leopards

[rotund wadi]

Anyway, snow leopard would be very cool, so look forward to it whatever it turns out to be

[languid hill]

tigers 90%

[grim meteor]

they would be very cool!

[low citrus]

Still waiting on trophy shots

[arctic pond]

EW said “there’s no cat” not “there aren’t cats”

[peak cedar]

I'll go into MP when this map comes out a smoke 200 cats an hour, because they proabably won't be fixing that bug this update haha

[shadow prism]

still wait in on fully customizable lodges

[peak cedar]

infinite monies

[low citrus]

Skull mounts please 🙏

[abstract kite]

[mighty dove]

[peak cedar]

I don't have the motivation to grind for a diamond, let alone a GO!!!!

[abstract kite]

Muhahahaha

[mighty dove]

At least he didn’t say red fox

[low citrus]

I mean, they’re not the hardest thing to hunt

[peak cedar]

[low citrus]

They just troll a lot

[mighty dove]

But they ugly

[peak cedar]

[low citrus]

They can have so many different fur types too

[peak cedar]

[low citrus]

[austere dune]

Lynx in the bushes and a white tiger or snow leopard on the ridge?

[low citrus]

It’s a snow leopard in the bushes

[upbeat glacier]

Snow leopard

[abstract kite]

That’s not a lynx

[warm nimbus]

I want a red fox GO 🤣

[upbeat glacier]

Is there going to be two new predators?

[abstract kite]

No one knows

[peak cedar]

buddy this and THIS are NOT the same thing

[upbeat glacier]

That was not snow leopard hunting grounds in the teaser

[languid hill]

ultra blurred image but ok

[mighty dove]

Mother nooo

[languid hill]

[finite wagon]

Dont worry Ky I'll see the shooting star for you and wish for us both a G1 Red Fox 🙏

[peak cedar]

It will only take 5 month then

[warm nimbus]

[low citrus]

Jesus Christ it’s contagious

[peak cedar]

[brave sleet]

[mighty dove]

You have to direct upload

[low citrus]

ATOMIC BLAST OF DIE RIGHT NOW

[drowsy patrol]

The 'roar' in the teaser doesnt sound like a noise a snow leopard could make, so surely theyre adding both snow leopards and tigers?

[shadow prism]

Robbing scarecrow for this

[peak cedar]

bro got the 4k edited version

[abstract kite]

Lol

[peak cedar]

why did that tag you

I hate discord

[abstract kite]

Why u here lol

[languid hill]

[peak cedar]

great question lmao

[mighty dove]

I was going to do this same thing but put Doge

[mighty dove]

Because you love me

[abstract kite]

Omg there’s two snow leopards 😱

[languid hill]

😱

[peak cedar]

oh yes, they were right. It's a lynx

[abstract kite]

One is more clear😱

[finite wagon]

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?!

[low citrus]

He’s… hmrmrnn…

[languid hill]

imagine this in the hunt-

[low citrus]

ourple 🟣

[wind ridge]

If is a new desing of GO Lynx?

[peak cedar]

ourple yes

[abstract kite]

😱

[peak cedar]

is that what the cross between orange and purple is? 🤔

[finite wagon]

What gun would even be strong enough to take down that monster

[peak cedar]

898 shots to the head with the 470

[languid hill]

the new particle accelerator 3000

comes with the godzilla update

[finite wagon]

Woth Kong hes just a big ape dude gets injured by helicopter guns

[daring geode]

the one i took down ur mom with

[low citrus]

Oxygen destroyer :)

[peak cedar]

how much is godzilla update I am very interested

[languid hill]

bru

[finite wagon]

Wow ur so right thank you

[finite wagon]

So true

[abstract kite]

Old joke borin

[finite wagon]

True

[peak cedar]

I'm waiting on my price tag 🙄

[brave sleet]

12

[finite wagon]

12

[low citrus]

12

[peak cedar]

W number

[abstract kite]

12 million

[languid hill]

12 billio

[peak cedar]

12 million?! I get part ownership at EW with that investment lmao

[abstract kite]

😂

[brave sleet]

Deal

[languid hill]

anyway guys how would a godzilla even live on the earth

[low citrus]

12 twelvillion dolar

[finite wagon]

Thats the funny part, he woudnt. Unless elephant hunting theropods evolve into existence

Or just a funny whale

One or the other

[low citrus]

Square cube law and whatnot

Long story short he can’t

[languid hill]

a godzilla phisically wouldnt be able to live on the earth

too big

[finite wagon]

This is what ultima would say

[brave sleet]

Hollow earth

[languid hill]

BUT in my theory a godzilla should be able to live no matter the size

it has its own organs

[low citrus]

No ultima would hit you with the 12 dimension bs

[languid hill]

different than others

different heart

everything

but brain = stoopid

[abstract kite]

Back to the topic lol

[languid hill]

yae

ok

[wind ridge]

#🦝︴off-topic

[languid hill]

what were we talking about

[low citrus]

The TOPIC is GODZILLA HUGE BIG

[finite wagon]

Alr back to sundarpatan before we get smoked by the mods 7mm magnum

[languid hill]

wait if its a male godzilla how big would the balls be

[brave sleet]

Hopefully sundarpatan

[abstract kite]

Snow thing

[languid hill]

oh thanks

[languid hill]

leopad

[brave sleet]

The snow leopard?

[limpid sinew]

Were did you get this pic?

[abstract kite]

Oh I thought it was emerald coast

[dry pivot]

I think we will get snow leopard and tiger

[peak cedar]

they're on to us 💀

caught in 4k

[tulip ingot]

Some dude in KC’s discord posted a very high quality picture and I was able to zoom in

[peak cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/alvin-and-the-chipmunks-alvin-whoops-my-bad-oops-gif-15512287650458333097

[limpid sinew]

Were

[stone turret]

Surely leopards and tigers, surely gang, right, surely?

[brave sleet]

I hope so

[tulip ingot]

In KCs discord in the cotw thread. @reef hull posted a very good pic

[peak cedar]

Surely 🤝

[languid hill]

i just fell out of my seat and my leg vein got caught

[abstract kite]

Definitely looks like a snow leopard

[languid hill]

now im dying on da floor

[languid hill]

yes it is

but that giant ahh looking neck looks like a polar bear lol

[abstract kite]

I’m 100% sure

[brave sleet]

White Tigers are a thing lol

[languid hill]

NO!!!!

[limpid sinew]

Were did he get it?

[abstract kite]

But no

[languid hill]

it would have big black stripes

[scarlet bluff]

def snow leopard

[languid hill]

we dont see that in there

snow leopard 500%

[stone turret]

No that’s for sure a leopard, I just love tigers and let myself get excited

[languid hill]

tigers have big black stripes

[tulip ingot]

Idk

[languid hill]

that's not a tiger

[stone turret]

Yes they do

[languid hill]

tigers are big booty

this ones looking smaller like a tiger

[brave sleet]

It do have a thick neck tho

[languid hill]

looks like a polar bear too

[stone turret]

I’m talking about thinking it was a tiger when we had only the audio lmfao

I know what a tiger looks like

[peak cedar]

Snow Leopards don't roar, so we're still good for Tigers 👍

[stone turret]

Copium back on the menu

[languid hill]

no tiger

[stone turret]

Let’s go

[languid hill]

leopard it is

[limpid sinew]

Send me KCs discord link please

[meager crater]

Give me snow,clouded, and Indian leopards and tigers and I’ll be happy

[quaint lintel]

Where they posted it?

[stone turret]

Is there a hunting lodge tomorrow?

[warm nimbus]

Twitter and Facebook

[tulip ingot]

https://discord.com/channels/732760439808852000/734887841485553715

[quaint lintel]

Nvm, saw on YouTube

[limpid sinew]

I believe so

[warm nimbus]

Oh good they added it there too

[abstract kite]

Nope 100% sure it’s a snow leopard

[tulip ingot]

You have to scroll up a little bit

[shadow prism]

I want a new lodge

Too many bears to fit in mine now

[quaint lintel]

If those are snow leopards, means we are getting them AND tigers, because there is NO WAY that roar was from a snow leopard

[shadow prism]

We’ve kinda decided that by now

[scarlet bluff]

maybe they gave it an unrealistic call?

[wind ridge]

If is a GO Lynx in Taiga?

[stone turret]

Stuck between endangered species being exciting new content and feeling a little bad about shooting them lol

[scarlet bluff]

getting both would be cool though

[stone turret]

Aren’t snow leopards like critically endangered?

[hexed moth]

yup

internationally protected

[meager crater]

Here we go again

[wind ridge]

Vulnerable but high protected and banned hunt

[stone turret]

Wdym here we go again lol, they should be in the game it’s just different that’s all

[scarlet bluff]

there’s more of them then you’d think

there’s around 4-6k

[stone turret]

Wonder if the story will have an explanation for it

[limpid sinew]

Its a game

[hexed moth]

ive heard a lot of people talking about a maneater storyline

[limpid sinew]

Theres gonna be snow leopars

I call i

Call it

[wind ridge]

A hunting game where just hunt game species (untill now)

[ebon gate]

If i had to guess based off the image given, there are two different cats in that picture, while im aware in cotws style lighting can really change an animals coat colour, this is very much not the case
the animal on the ridge looks like a white tiger, and the bottom cat highly resembles a snow leopard, nether of them look the same to me

[scarlet bluff]

both are snow leopards

[wind ridge]

Rock GO Confirmed

[hollow tundra]

i see the right one, idk what the left one is its like 4 pixels

[proper wedge]

Your cat worship pleases me

[meager crater]

I think both are snow leopards as well

[night trench]

If you look at the picture itself it is in the top

[stone turret]

They’re actually Khajit from Skyrim

New crossover

[hexed moth]

skooma time

[stone turret]

EW employees kicking their feet on a Monday over us deciphering a teaser

Todays a good day

Kicking with joy*

[low citrus]

Again it’ll likely be a “protection laws allowed them to proliferate out of control so we’re sent in to control the population” like it was with European bison

[mighty dove]

They probably put that image out because we kept saying tigers

[ebon gate]

its way too white to be a snow leopard, as they are known for their blue.grey pelt. The cat on the ridge is very striped

[minor mauve]

We could be getting both tigers and snow leopards if the map is in the Himalayas

[stone turret]

That’s a good work around I like it.

[mighty dove]

I’m sure whatever the storyline is EW will do it with respect

They always do

[stone turret]

I think so too I’m just curious to hear them talk about it

[scarlet bluff]

you have very wishful thinking but it’s definitely a snow leopard in both lol

[hexed moth]

same

[stone turret]

I love when we get dev insights

[meager crater]

Well tomorrow this time we’ll know

[minor mauve]

It could be a tiger in the top pic and then a snow leopard peeking out of the bush

[scarlet bluff]

it’s a leopard in both

[unreal haven]

Cant be snow leopards roar cos they cant roar

[minor mauve]

Tigers do have a golden white fur pattern

[wind ridge]

Or Lynx GO

[minor mauve]

Some do at least

[scarlet bluff]

y’all just can’t accept it’s not a tiger

[proper wedge]

Snow leopards can roar, they just choose not to

[hexed moth]

they purr

[ebon gate]

i think its the case, even from a distance they arent the same cat, taking into cotws lighting vfx its still uncannily lighter than the cat below

[wind ridge]

The roar is a Indian Leopard

[scarlet bluff]

they don’t have the vocal cords for it

[minor mauve]

If the map is in the himalayas we might get both snow leopards and tigers

[mighty dove]

Jaxy better have his big boy britches on tomorrow because he is going to be questioned so hard

[unreal haven]

Have they revealed the new go

[finite wagon]

Tbh i genuinely would prefer a leopard over a tiger anyways, but im still hoping for a tiger because the potential for rares is really good. Like look at golden erythristic tigers for example. Id love to have that in my lodge

[night trench]

It is a tiger roar

[hexed moth]

rabbit /jk

[ebon gate]

plus if they were throwing in snow leopards which is peak "erm theyre endangered" territory they have little reason to just not care and throw in tigers anyways

[wind ridge]

Leopard for me

[civic depot]

Clearly a TIGER roar

[minor mauve]

Snow leopards cannot roar, theres only four cats in the world that can roar, the lion, tiger, leopard, and jaguar

[hexed moth]

and a siamese cat who hasnt been fed on time

[mighty dove]

Tiger’s roar, leopard in the image. Boom

[minor mauve]

It is a tiger roar

[finite wagon]

TRUE

[minor mauve]

Lol

[carmine mason]

Snow leopards cannot roar and they don’t live in the jungle

[proper wedge]

you're going to get a water buffalo great one, and you're going to like it

[wind ridge]

Indian Leopard roar :V

[hexed moth]

i like how out of all the cats that exist i choose the kind that screams as a personality trait

[ebon gate]

correct, snow leopards cannot make that kind of roar. They yowl and make more cat-like grumbles and purrs

[carmine mason]

But at least we got some cool wildlife

[hexed moth]

rock GO

[unreal haven]

Snow leopards can not roar there incapable of it

[languid hill]

leopardo

[finite wagon]

I dont even have a siamese (i have a ragdoll) and i know full well how vocal siamese cats are lol

[ebon gate]

yes, that is what i said 😄

[carmine mason]

I still think is a Tiger

[finite wagon]

To me the face says snow leo

[hexed moth]

talkative cats are the best

[unreal haven]

Snow leopard not the animal wat did the roar in the teaser

[minor mauve]

It’s probably both

[languid hill]

so wat

[carmine mason]

And it’s in the jungle and last time I checked snow leopards do not live in the jungle

[naive abyss]

I am 100% sure that is a snow leopard in the image, and that was a tigers roar in the trailer.

[languid hill]

oooooooo

maybe we getting leopards and tigers

[carmine mason]

Takins would be cool

[hexed moth]

aside from the big cats and the muntjack has anything else been confirmed?

[finite wagon]

Are indian leopards also in the region?

[scarlet bluff]

yeah obviously

[carmine mason]

Axis and blackbuck probably

[languid hill]

erm

[minor mauve]

Lemme check

[scarlet bluff]

but it’s clearly not a tiger in the photo

[civic depot]

Just search TIGER roar on YouTube and you will convinge yourself

those who say it's leopard roar

[naive abyss]

I bet we get both. The tigers will live in the jungle region and the leopards will be in the mountain region.

[minor mauve]

Cause i believe those are further south

[carmine mason]

But axis and hog deer are a 100% gonna be on here

[civic depot]

most probably

[carmine mason]

Hopefully blackbuck and water buffalo are also on here

[hexed moth]

are peacocks a chance?

[carmine mason]

Yea

[stone turret]

Yeah I’d like peacocks

[hexed moth]

oh and the geese

[tall pebble]

hoping we get gaur

[carmine mason]

Tahr can finally be in game

[hexed moth]

tahr and blue sheep seem obvious if its nepal

[minor mauve]

Possibly? Im guessing its just the snow leopards and tigers though

[finite wagon]

I hope we get leopards anyways so they can backfill those into vrhonga as well

[minor mauve]

Same

Maybe this map could focus on the big cats in general

[civic depot]

i think all we hope we will get both tigers and snow leopards

[carmine mason]

I want tons of African animals in vrhonga except for elephants and rhinos cause they no longer exist there

[finite wagon]

Except the trans-himalayas... darn we might not get em then

[unreal haven]

Indian leopards are different to African leopards

[minor mauve]

I hope so too, snow leopards are one of my favorite animals ☺️

[finite wagon]

I know, but patagonian pumas are different to pumas in colorado yet they use the exact same model for both

[hollow tundra]

they arent the best at species distinction, like how theres shiras moose and alaska moose but they just call the moose in game I bet it would just be leopards

[carmine mason]

Happen in Yukon and Medved with 2 carnivores

[finite wagon]

This is call of the wild we're talkin abt

[unreal haven]

Mountain lion and pumas are the same animal

[minor mauve]

I’m hoping for the tigers too cause then maybe they could be adjusted to be siberian tigers for medved

[civic depot]

it can be happend again and this is the most likely thing

[minor mauve]

If we do get both thats an immediate buy for me hehe

[civic depot]

will be tigers on jungle and snow leopards on himalaya mountains

[finite wagon]

I know that. But look at this. On the left is a puma you'd see in Parque. The other is a puma you'd see in SRP. Patagonian pumas, while they are the same species, are much softer looking.

[carmine mason]

I don’t care we get rare animals

[finite wagon]

Yet they use the same model (referencing the SRP appearance) for both animals

They'd do the same thing with the leopards.

[civic depot]

but after anouncement about snow leopards exista any chance to add himalayan black bear ?

[hexed moth]

ive been trying to remember the name of srp for like 3 days now, thank you

[finite wagon]

Because theres not enough visual distinction between the two populations of cats for cotw to care

They didnt care for pumas

Whos to say theyd gaf for leopards

[minor mauve]

Maybe, maybe this one can be a predator focused map, like how revontuli is a mainly bird focused map

[glass rain]

But I’m pretty sure there hinting to tigers because I’m listening to tiger and leopard audios and it sounds more to a tiger like the exact same

[stone turret]

4 years of development difference btw

[civic depot]

if they add the bear can be the best map ever

[stone turret]

Lots has changed in that time

Let them cook

[glass rain]

Imagine sloth bear though to

[civic depot]

tommorow we will see all animals in trailer ?

[reef rover]

Anyone have ideas on what the new great one may be

[glass rain]

Either a lion or something on the new map

[stray basalt]

New environment, New PFP, who dis. It’s the mountains… FINALLY.

[ebon gate]

itll be a full trailer, so likely. there was a hint that the great one will be visible in the trailer iirc

[minor mauve]

I’m hoping if we do get all these predators on one map we can get a larger dog breed for protection too hehe

[reef rover]

I figured they would give it to an older animal though one that is on multiple maps

[proper wedge]

pretty sure it will be water buffalo, but nobody knows

[reef rover]

That would be cool

[ebon gate]

Axis deer is my best guess since we are visiting the literal motherland of Axis

[minor mauve]

I assumed the go would be one of the new species in this map

[vivid cosmos]

I just hope for tigers

[glass rain]

It’s an 80% chance a tiger

[midnight moon]

Well they sure are going all out…

[vivid cosmos]

right?

[minor mauve]

Its a high chance of both tiger and snow leopard

[civic depot]

and after the trailer how much we have to wait for the official release

[ebon gate]

atp there better just be a giant mountain smacked somewhere on the map thats climbable, would be awesome for scenery viewing

[vivid cosmos]

doubt it's both

[glass rain]

I don’t see snow leopard because there is inly 750 left in the wild

[vivid cosmos]

Tigers can get pretty high on mountains

[finite wagon]

Thats fair, but tbh i dont think they should really care too much about regional difference when it comes to leopards. Id see the arguement if the convo was about, say, persian leopards or amur leopards, but theres not a whole lot of difference between indian leopards and african leopards

[proper wedge]

Axis deer is the only right choice - that's why it will be water buffalo 🐃

[ebon gate]

there are less tigers yet that is the implied animal via the trailer

[vivid cosmos]

all this time I thought we were talking about snow leopards

[finite wagon]

They are, im not

[glass rain]

That is true

[midnight moon]

I don’t know how to feel if we get snow leopard and tiger cause… going from complete realism and conservation to this… idk rubs me wrong despite it being just a game

[ebon gate]

if tigers are the selected animal im sure theyll have no issue adding snow leops that have double the pop

[midnight moon]

It feels like those mobile hunting games

[hexed moth]

incoming "it's just a game"

[vivid cosmos]

so you think it's neither of the species we are all thinking about? maybe its even the Asian Golden Cat they have the round face and the markings

[glass rain]

Well there just pixels not the real thing in the hunter classic they had were wolves

[midnight moon]

100%

[unreal haven]

Because it is just a game there only pixels

[minor mauve]

It’s probably a himalayan map with both bengals and snowys

[midnight moon]

I think it’s a little to light to be that

[civic depot]

and after the trailer, how long will we have to wait until the official release of the dlc

[finite wagon]

Not what im saying, me and one other person were talkin about the standard leopards possibly being an addition. I said "they could backfill leopards into vrhonga" but they said "indian leopards are different from african leopards" which isnt really a good arguement considering the patagonian puma of parque is pretty visually different from the north american puma of srp. Yet they use a north american model for both

Also no it cant be a golden cat lol

[midnight moon]

Backfilling leopard to vurhunga would have been an excellent choice

[finite wagon]

Markings on those guys are way too intricate

Also it woudnt explain the roar either

[ebon gate]

Because it is. Having a healthy mindset is distinguishing fantasy vs. reality. COTW has tackled poachers in the past and theyll do it again with this map, educating folk of the horrible actions and consequences of poaching

[minor mauve]

Yea arent lions technically endangered too? And those are in the game

[ebon gate]

there are LOTS of endangerd animals in cotw

[finite wagon]

Lions can actually be legally hunted in a lot of places

Endangered in other places, yes

[minor mauve]

Gators are another one i believe

[finite wagon]

Gators are only endangered in the northern parts of their range

[unreal haven]

No

[finite wagon]

But in florida, they're far from it

[civic depot]

and after the trailer, how long will we have to wait until the official release of the dlc

[vivid cosmos]

why not? round face, small size and markings,

[unreal haven]

There vunrable

[ebon gate]

speculation wise, mid-end of june

[scarlet bluff]

what if they just gave us the roar to tell us it was a big cat and we’re all just over analyzing things

[minor mauve]

Wrong colors

[glass rain]

Yo anyone wanna join my group we need up to 8 people and when the map releases we hunt the absolute crap out of it and until it releases we talk about it if u want in dm me

[jade wyvern]

Very confused now… so no tiger?

[ebon gate]

speedrun losing your entire fanbase challenge:

[vivid cosmos]

we can't even see any colors, not really

[scarlet bluff]

as it stands rn we have only snow leopards confirmed

[minor mauve]

If its a himalayan map it might be both tigers and snow leopards

Here you can

[finite wagon]

1. Colors too different
2. Dosent explain the roar
3. Do you see stripes on the cheeks?

[vivid cosmos]

not even, confirmed means that the Devs said they are coming

[scarlet bluff]

why show a teaser of one then?

it’s clearly snow leopard

[vivid cosmos]

what teaser?

not confirmed

[ebon gate]

its in the air, my guess is that tigers and another cat (snow leopard or another cat) will be on the map, as snow leopards are NOT in the jungle area displayed in the teaser

[finite wagon]

And look at the eye markings

[scarlet bluff]

the photo????

[finite wagon]

Way too different from asian golden cat

[vivid cosmos]

a low deff picture of half a face its not a confirmation

[scarlet bluff]

the photo is basically a teaser for the snow leopard

[minor mauve]

Its definitely a snow leopard

[jade wyvern]

Yeah got to be. I will be disappointed with a snow leopard in the jungle lol

[vivid cosmos]

it's not

[scarlet bluff]

but it is

[minor mauve]

Posting again one last time, its probably both

[jade wyvern]

Or is it a white tiger lol

[scarlet bluff]

i’m not gonna argue about it when it’s clearly a snow leopard and you just don’t want to accept it lmao

[ebon gate]

We dont have an animal count for the map either, we could have like 5 predators if the devs felt like compensating for a year wait. It dosent hurt to speculate and hope for something

[glass rain]

That doesn’t make sense snow leopards don’t roar they squeak

[scarlet bluff]

and yet here we are with a photo of a snow leopard

[ebon gate]

in the pic, the cat on the ridgeline is striped to me, and way lighter than the snow leopard

[scarlet bluff]

it’s still possible we get both

[scarlet bluff]

it’s just the lighting

[ebon gate]

unless you put a flashlight next to a snow leopard, that thing aint looking near white

[glass rain]

Yea it gives off more of a gray

[jade wyvern]

They confirmed it was a rock on Twitter

[minor mauve]

Snowys can be both a light grey to a grey brown

[glass rain]

That is true

[languid hill]

well now what

[minor mauve]

Compared to this its definitely a snowy

[languid hill]

they are leopards!!

[vivid cosmos]

confirmed?

[glass rain]

Bro I should know this stuff I’m going into zoology 😭

[jade wyvern]

No

[languid hill]

bruh

[vivid cosmos]

snow leopards don't roar

[ebon gate]

joke

you

[languid hill]

so what

[vivid cosmos]

the Roar was very clearly a tigers

[languid hill]

so what?

[glass rain]

Facts

[languid hill]

it could be a leopard tho

not the roar

[minor mauve]

In the himalayas they live alongside bengals

[vivid cosmos]

EW doesn't just add random bull

[languid hill]

the things that we've seen look like leopards

[scarlet bluff]

it’s possibly we get both but the image is very clearly a snow leopard

[glass rain]

OKAY EVERYONE let’s clear this up they can have more than one big cat on a map

So they can have both

[stray basalt]

They live in very different environments.

[stark storm]

Not throwing shade but I wouldn’t consider lady the most accurate source lmao

[vivid cosmos]

Not Likely because of the ingame mechanics of cats

[scarlet bluff]

it’s also highly possible like i said earlier that they just put the roar in there to tell us it’s some sort of big cat and not any certain one

[glass rain]

There’s 2 biomes in map

[stray basalt]

Well I can tell.

[languid hill]

true

[stray basalt]

Tigers usually stick to the botttom of the mountain/foothills. Which is what this is accounting for.

[hexed moth]

tigers will go anywhere

leopards too

[vivid cosmos]

aye, I like her but 1: that's a question mark
2:she doesn't have ties with COTW development team
3: No One That Isn't in COTW Dev Team Knows for sure

[uneven bloom]

it could just be a lynx with shadows on it

[hexed moth]

snow leopard is confined to mountain

[uneven bloom]

squinting at that and a harvest screen of mine has them looking similar

[stray basalt]

If there’s prey sure, but they have preferred environments what they stick to.

[scarlet bluff]

the ears are too rounded to be lynx

[vivid cosmos]

thats a real fact not a development choice

[stark storm]

I feel like we should remember that just bc there’s something in the image doesn’t mean they didn’t just look for a cool spot and then spawn the animals in manually

[minor mauve]

Lynx have sharper ear tips and tufts

[stiff hornet]

If I had to guess, this is showing a Snow Leopard (or possibly even an Indian Leopard). For all we know this could be a Pallas’ Cat or even an Asian Golden Cat, though.

[vivid cosmos]

Someone call Cashnip to identify his own cat

[quaint lintel]

If we are getting snow leopards we for sure getting TIGERS!! Glad EW finally went this route!! Elephants in the future is already 100% confirmed

[stray basalt]

Credits to @fierce bay

[uneven bloom]

it's also in a bush, which could be hiding that

[hexed moth]

eh, individuals have huge territories so it's possible they have both biomes in their hunting ground

[uneven bloom]

as well as somewhat pixellated

[stiff hornet]

Don’t get too excited yet. We have absolutely no idea what we’re actually getting.

[minor mauve]

Yes but it would make sense considering the photo and the roar for the map in be in that area for both cats to be in the map

[quaint lintel]

People who against hunting endangered species rn: 💀💀🤬🤬😡😡😤😤👿👿
Me: 🥤🍿

[uneven bloom]

also, snow leopards are in a better spot population and IUCN-rating wise than tigers, so even if it is a snow leopard, doesn't guarantee anything

[vivid cosmos]

yeah and it's also in the shadow that is a well known concealer of colors

[stray basalt]

Most definitely a snow leopard, never seen a lynx with such a chunky adorable face lol😂

[uneven bloom]

they're considered Vulnerable

[tardy sail]

Maybe it’s an elephant!

[hexed moth]

weird flex but ok

[quaint lintel]

WE WON Y'ALL EW ADDING ENDANGERED ILLEGAL IRL SPECIESSS

[vivid cosmos]

i've seen tigers

[tardy sail]

YAYY

[quaint lintel]

It's just a game

[stray basalt]

You might be in to something.

[stray basalt]

Depends on the tiger.

[stiff hornet]

I’m siding with Lyra here. We have absolutely no idea what’s actually coming. Leopards are likely (LEOPARDS, not SNOW LEOPARDS), but Tigers and Snow Leopards are not.

[scarlet bluff]

the face is mostly definitely too snow leopard like to be anything else

[vivid cosmos]

still

[stiff hornet]

Indian Leopard

[vivid cosmos]

Asian Golden Cat

[minor mauve]

Looks kinda like a really short giraffe to me 🧐

[gentle shale]

Thsts jaxy with a kitty mask

[scarlet bluff]

never seen a grey indian leopard

[minor mauve]

Lol

[wind ridge]

https://quicksounds.com/sound/3849/snow-leopard-chuffs-with-inhale

[tardy sail]

Or even an orangutan!

[vivid cosmos]

also someone told me In some of the latest streams jaxy said that EW would be more open to add interesting species or something like that

[uneven bloom]

...okay yeah snow leopards are in a "probably not" now

[gentle shale]

He better brew a gallon of coffee for tomorrow

[uneven bloom]

quoting Wikipedia, "In Nepal, they have been legally protected since 1973, with penalties of 5–15 years in prison and a fine for poaching and trading them."

[shrewd shell]

People are waaay too confident that tigers are coming. 😬🍿

[quaint lintel]

We are getting both Tigers in lowlands and Snow Leopards in the mountains on this map and y'all better get used to it let's gooooooo

[uneven bloom]

doesn't say anything about hunting them being legal either

[wind ridge]

We are assuming that the image is from the new map, and if it really is a Lynx GO in Taiga?

[tardy sail]

I think it’s an orangutan

[stray basalt]

The one on the ridge is way bigger than an Asian Golden Cat.

[quaint lintel]

That roar in the trailer was definitely not a snow leopards

[hexed moth]

that would be pretty funny

[gentle shale]

The famous snow panda

[tardy sail]

Orangután

[scarlet bluff]

the only other way that it could be something else other than snow leopard is if it’s an indian leopard GO

[uneven bloom]

Snow leopards are incapable of roaring altogether, actually

they can meow, though

[scarlet bluff]

because i’ve certainly never seen a grey indian leopard

[vivid cosmos]

quoting the Instagram COTW page manager: "Nice try that's a rock"

[hexed moth]

both snow leopards and bengal/siberian tigers are protected species and cannot be legally hunted anywhere

[vivid cosmos]

wow that's exactly what the one in the trailer sounded like

[tardy sail]

Nuh uh

[stray basalt]

You think they are going to confirm species a whole day before the reveal and the next stream?

[tardy sail]

Orangután

[vivid cosmos]

yeah... I know

[tardy sail]

Do you people think about the possibilities?

[vivid cosmos]

there is a trailer scheduled for 20 hours from now so

[tardy sail]

Theres only one

[hexed moth]

i feel like they make the rocks and stuff look like animals on purpse

[stone pine]

Why ??haven’t really kept up

[scarlet bluff]

and yet it’s very clearly not a rock

it’s just EW trolling

[vivid cosmos]

pareidolia

[stone pine]

Clear as day leopord

[tardy sail]

What if it’s a rock that looks like an animal

[vivid cosmos]

says you

[uneven bloom]

protected in Nepal since the 1970's

killing one gets prison time

[scarlet bluff]

yes says me because i have a pair of working eyes lmao

[hexed moth]

iTs jUsT A GaMe incoming

[vivid cosmos]

it has white marks around the eyes

[shrewd shell]

So, purely to gain a bit of knowledge. I know tigers are banned but what is the irl situation with all other big cats in that area (Nepal) with regards to hunting laws?
(I'm not against hunting endangered species in a game)

[hexed moth]

right to jail

[vivid cosmos]

pareidolia

[wind ridge]

Lynx GO :v

[gentle shale]

If it ate your wife you kill it

[languid hill]

LEOPARD!!!!!!!!!

🐆

[finite wagon]

With the exception of leopards, all the other BIG cats are a no-go as far as i know

[midnight moon]

Protected species before gta6

[languid hill]

⚪ 🐆

[stray basalt]

Thanks for proving my point???

[scarlet bluff]

speak for yourself lmfao

it’s clear as day that they’re both snow leopards

[midnight moon]

Lions have exceptions and such hence vurhunga

[finite wagon]

I didnt see other cat species (including lesser cats) other than leopard be mentioned in the hunting documents for nepal posted here before

[uneven bloom]

the only reason lions exist on Vurhonga is because it got reviewbombed to hell and back for not having them

[midnight moon]

That too

[finite wagon]

Wd arent talking about that

[gentle shale]

Man i was hoping dinosaurs ....

[finite wagon]

We're talking about in india and nepal

[midnight moon]

“All other big cats” 🤓

[tardy sail]

The rock is an orangutan

[hexed moth]

there's only 4 lol

[finite wagon]

In india and nepal. Context matters

[proper wedge]

Cersie Lannister: I thought there would be elephants.

[gentle shale]

You mean a yeti

[stray basalt]

Tiger might become legal, Snow leopards have a lower population in Nepal than tigers, Indian Leopards are legally hunted in Dhorpatan.

[finite wagon]

You took what i said out of context. Lol

[midnight moon]

That doesn’t mention India and Nepal 😭 sorry just replied to what was indront of me

[finite wagon]

Completelt at face value

[midnight moon]

Either way sorry

[hexed moth]

Jaguar: protected
Lion: legal in some places
Tiger: protected
Leopard: Legal in some places

[finite wagon]

All good

[wind ridge]

As the only wild cat filling the niche of a large high-altitude predator in Nepal, the Eurasian lynx holds special ecological importance. Their selective hunting pressures help regulate ungulate populations like Himalayan tahr, preventing overbrowsing of sensitive flora.

[tardy sail]

Orangutans are what?

[hexed moth]

also protected

habitat destruction

[tardy sail]

Aw man
