Mustelids added to existing maps

[opal storm]

I think something that would make a really cool addition to the game is mustelids and here are the ones I suggest to add and on what reserve.
1 : Wolverine (Medved and Yukon)
2 : Pine marten ( Srp and Hirschfelden)
3 : Fisher (Nem and Layton)
4 : European badger (Hirschfelden and Revontuli)
5 : American badger (Layton srp and Rancho)
6 : American mink (Revontuli and Mississippi??)
7 : River otter ( All Na maps besides srp)
8 : Siberian Weasel (Medved)
9 : Honey badger (vurhonga)
10 : Ferret (Te arawoa)

Rancho should also get American Badgers.

[opal storm]

Just added that👍🏼

[final marten]

Also, otters could fit on just about every NA map we have right now (except maybe srp because srp HAS 0 RIVERS).

[opal storm]

I’ll add them also

[final marten]

Here’s a reference map👍👍👍

[opal storm]

Looks good to me, on Mississippi they should be on every water source alligators aren’t to add even more variety to the river.

[final marten]

I think this is a perfect list now!

[opal storm]

Hopefully will be all added soon 🙏🏼

Wolverines would be a fantastic small predator for the line up, not only are they pretty, they're so aggressive its made them legendary

[opal storm]

They are my dream animal to be added (not surprising given my name) I love the fact that they are so fearless and will chase off wolves and on rare occasions even bears also look very pretty as you said

[weary flare]

They have such a reputation that some Native tribes basically called them devils enough that it caught on with White explorers and hunters in the area. Not trying to sound derogatory but they were called injun devils for decades

[opal storm]

Pretty crazy alright they are basically mini bears on steroids 😂

[weary flare]

They also use a musk to mark their food sources that is so bad even grizzles won't touch it. Basically they are oversized hyper predatory skunks

This is aside the main point, but I read a book called the High Road to Adventure not too long ago about a hunter's experiences in Alaska when it was just a territory of the US. One of his partners in a trapline was a younger native guy who hated wolverines with a passion, he ended up telling the author that a wolverine had eaten his grandfather.

[opal storm]

Can’t blame him for hating them with a passion then but on the note of grandparents and wolverines my grandmother is Norwegian and I once asked her about what their reputation is like and she told me that people think they are like greedy and eat so much to the point where they nearly blow up because they have eat so much which is pretty interesting.

[weary flare]

I've read before that some people just called them gluttons, I also read in the same book that wolverines would strips lines of hundreds of traps of bait or caught animals. fur trappers just despised them

[opal storm]

Seem like quite the nuisance I’m pretty sure also that in Norway wolverines were hunted to near extinction and had like less than 50 at one stage but now they are up to around 500 I think which is pretty cool

Honey Badgers could also work as a Mustelid addition for Vurhonga

[opal storm]

Oh yes I forgot about them

[reef anvil]

If you wanted to you could also add Ferrets to Te Awaroa since they inhabit NZ

[opal storm]

Will add

[reef anvil]

Nice list

[opal storm]

Thank you

[weary flare]

I wish there were wolverines to hunt where I live, sadly there are only regular weasels (a bunch of the little hairballs too)

[opal storm]

Pine martens mink and otter are in my area but haven’t hunter any

[weary flare]

Just looked out of curiosity, and one of the wolverine rugs I found was 2700.00 USD

[reef anvil]

Where do you live

[opal storm]

Very expensive

[weary flare]

Wyoming

[opal storm]

Me and you live extremely far away

[weary flare]

Worlds a big place despite what the internet would have you believe

[opal storm]

True , would love to visit Wyoming one day

[reef anvil]

Ah ok

[opal storm]

Also European badger I forgot them
