🇿🇦Big 5, African cape and much more. 🐘

[sturdy wren]

At the end of the old world in the far south of Africa, across the barren sea from the land of never ending cold lies the south African cape region.

Many interesting species and both the big 5 and Tiny ten this makes this the perfect hunting destination to both hunt classic safari animals and weird forest creatures.

the map would be both made up of coast, the new fynbos biome, bush, forests and mountains. Making this a diverse region able to carry many species

Animals that have the word cape in there name:
C9-Cape eland
C6-cape mountain zebra
C1-cape shoveler
C9-cape buffalo
C2-cape grysbok
C1-cape teal
C1-cape Frankolin

Tiny ten species :
C3-grey rhebok
C2-blue duiker
C2-klippsringer
C2-grey duiker

(The cape grysbok also falls into this category but is named under "animals with the word cape in there name"

African Leopard in 5?

Minimum 7

[sturdy wren]

They weigh like a 100 KGS don't they like max

Their not particularly aggressive either but honestly I car more about them added them there class but I'd say 5 is the minimum but fits them well may be 6 to

[little flint]

They are famous for walking off .375’s and multiple buckshots. Tracking a leopard is far more scary than anything else you can experience on this planet (hunting wise atleast)

.375 is also the minimum in Africa. And they are well known to jump from person to person tearing each face

[sturdy wren]

Fair Im no hunter so I just go by weight but I class them up

[pastel galleon]

So for a Cape Region map, if were picky in terms of realism, I'd recommend Eastern Cape. Western Cape hunting is basically just Karoo and Karoo is basically just open Plains game like Springbok and stuff, Eastern Cape has all the stuff you want, in a near coastal environment, with bushveld and it's kinda mountainous to some extent. But this is something I'd love to see in game

[sturdy wren]

So I'm no expert but I think they are small enough to do as one map with both regions ay?

[small siren]

Gets my vote any day, but yah bru this is defiantly more eastern cape

[sturdy wren]

Interesting imma change it but I'll have to go over both the species list and how the biomes would interact so it might take a cupple hours or a day

[pastel galleon]

I would love to have a mix of eastern and western cape in one map, specifically the type of bush in EC and the fynbos in WC, but what I mean there's just certain animals that don't occur in the Westen Cape that do in the Eastern Cape. I really love the idea though of having WC and EC nature and Flora on 1 map

[sturdy wren]

I mean they did it on a bunch of maps, they very overdid it on Vurhonga but they had all of Nepal in sundarpartan, both new Zealand island fauna on te awaroa and animals that aren't really much in Queensland but from nearby states on EC do I could see this happening, I think the fynbos biome would be more along the coast having some mountains may be even something similar to the ones in table mountain NP

[pastel galleon]

That's valid, I'll admit I am very specific with realism when it comes to africa even tho its just a game were on about lol

[sturdy wren]

It's not just a game I have spent 2.5k hours on this

[pastel galleon]

ok thats also very valid

[sturdy wren]

Imagine a diamond?

[pastel galleon]

This could be a cool rare, occurrence on a Eastsrn/Western cape based map assuming it's set in July/August

[sturdy wren]

Would be very neat, those are white rhinos but I featured the rare black rhino on this map because i believe it would fit best what do you think about this? I think both are found in the cape regions

[pastel galleon]

I like the idea, you do find both there but i think black rhino would be a good first because a trophy black rhino has a gnarly horn

[sturdy wren]

What's a gnarly horn

[pastel galleon]

The front horn can get up to 1.3m long

[sturdy wren]

Oh man

[pastel galleon]

They get biiiiiig

[shell swift]

What rhino would you prefer, White or Black?

[glad hemlock]

Black, the lips are not square-ish like those of a white rhinoceros, which is sometimes known as the square lipped rhino and the black rhinoceros is sometimes known as the hook-lipped rhinoceros

[shell swift]

Where else can whites be hunted, btw?

[little flint]

Namibia and Zimbabwe iirc

[glad hemlock]

I have only heard of Namibia and South Africa being the only countries to allow rhino hunting. Speaking of Zimbabwe though I understand that CITES allocates a limited quota for cheetah hunting for Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe but Namibia is the only country that seems to offer cheetah hunting.

[little flint]

Yeah, I knew Namibia had limited quota but I wasn’t entirely sure about Zimbabwe. Thank you!
