Changing Around Some Species?

[radiant quartz]

So I’ve Been Thinking About It, And There’s A Few Species That I Think Could Be Swapped Around.

Let’s Start With Rio Grande Turkeys. They’re Not Found In Sonora (Where Rancho Del Arroyo Is Set). The Species There Is Called The Goulds Turkey, And They Look Very Similar To Rio Grandes (You Can See A Comparison In The Pictures). The Best Course Of Action In My Opinion Would Be To Slightly Tweak The Model Of The Rio Grande Turkey And Call It The Goulds Turkey, Then Pit The Current Rio Grande Turkeys On Silver Ridge Peaks With The Merriam’s.

The Next Thing Is The Turkeys On Te Awaroa. There’s Not A Lot Of Turkeys There From What I’ve Heard, But There Are A Lot Of Pheasants. What I Think Should Happen Are Pheasants Replacing Turkeys On Te Awaroa.

Another Thing Is The Addition Of Eurasian Wigeon On Vurhonga Savanna. As Far As I Know Vurhonga Is Based On South Africa, And There Are No Wigeon There. The Closest Population Of Wigeon Are In Northern Kenya. I Think It Would Have Been Better If A Species Like Fallow Deer Were Put There, Since They Are Widespread Across Many Parts Of South Africa.

If You Have Any Other Species That You Think Should Be Swapped Around Then Reply To This And I’ll Add It On Here

I think the Fallow Deer would be better used to replace the Lesser Kudu (even though the Impala, Blesbok or Nyala would be better fits)

For replacing the Wigeon, a better fit would be the Yellow-billed Duck, a duck species that are actually found in South Africa, though species like Red-billed Teal or African Black Duck could also work

I Was Trying To Make It So The Replacing Would Be Either A Current Species Or A Very Similar One.

[flat zealot]

Hence why I agree with the Fallow for replacing the Lesser Kudu, as it is an antelope only found as far south as Central Tanzania
The reason I suggested the Yellow-billed Duck as the Wigeon replacer for Vurhonga is mentioned on this website: https://www.getducks.com/species/african-yellow-billed-duck/

I think we should always consider just adding species without removing others first, before thinking of replacing. In some cases ... I wouldn't mind having both of the species on the map

While the Rio Grande Turkey isn’t native to the Sonoran Desert
It was and still is a better choice then the Ocellated Turkey, a bird from the Jungles of the Yucatan Peninsula

[radiant quartz]

I Agree, But Goulds Turkeys Are Native To The Sonoran Desert And The Sky Islands Region Of Southeast Arizona And Southwest New Mexico.

I Simply Don’t Like The “Hypocrisy” I’m Gonna Call It Of EW Saying “We Can’t Add Blacktail To SRP Because It’s Unrealistic” While Also Having Lesser Kudu And Eurasian Wigeon On A South Africa Based Map. Same Thing Goes For Bobwhite Quail On New England, Which Is Set In Maine/New Hampshire, Whilst Bobwhite Quail Are Found Only As Far North As Central New York.

Pheasant too,the are bred by farmers and then released.

[radiant quartz]

Yeah That’s Probably A Great Idea Too

[mighty tartan]

Goulds would be interesting,aren’t they the biggest species of Turkey???

[flat zealot]

I should also mention Mule Deer and Collared Peccary in Parque Fernando
• Collared Peccary are only found in the far north of Argentina, while Parque Fernando is located southern Argentina based on the mention of southern beech trees in the In-game Description
• While Wikipedia says mule deer have been introduced, the source used is rather questionable, and if there was any mule deer in Argentina, it is likely they are no longer there

[mighty tartan]

Wild Boar would fit the role of collared peccary 1000% better.

I Always Questioned The Addition Of Javelina To Parque Since Their Range In Patagonia Is So Limited, I Wish Something Like Wild Boar Or, Hell Even European Hare Would Be Better For An In Game Species, And Eared Dove Would Be Best For A New Species. Now For Mule Deer I Feel Like They Added Them Mostly Because Everyone Wanted Them.

[flat zealot]

I always felt like either Fallow Deer or Pere Davids Deer would have fit the reserve better

[radiant quartz]

Maybe Even Marsh Deer Or Pampas Deer, Although I’m Unsure If You Can Hunt Either In Argentina.

[flat zealot]

Unlikely, There are very few Marsh Deer in Argentina, and the Pampas Deer are considered protected there too
And before I forget the Taruca and the South Andean Deer, both are also not very numerous in Argentina (and likely protected as a result)
