No bears in brittany

It's not just Brittany; I've tried to condense France into a reserve 😅

A bit like Hirschfelden

[steep vortex]

I think that if we are to justify the Beast of Gévaudan, we need to add a species of wolf, so we might as well add Canis lupus italicus (Appennine Wolf). Even if the beast that killed hundreds of children and women over a three-year period between 1764 and 1767 was a grey wolf (Canis lupus lupus), which ended up demonising wolves among Catholics and accelerating their extinction, especially in the region (now Languedoc) where the beast carried out its killings. the last Canis lupus lupus was killed in 1934, and the Canis lupus italicus returned in 1992 via the Italian Alps.

Looks like brown bears should be a very rare spawn/low population for this map if they’re to be included.

[steep vortex]

Yes, indeed, there are few brown bears in France, and I wouldn't blame them if they didn't add it.

Be careful not to linger too long in the forests of Gévaudan... the beast is prowling...

[sudden star]

tbh the chamios from te awaroa would do as great

[steep vortex]

Yes, but it was to add more diversity. However, you may be right; it is starting to be a lot of work for the developers, especially if they have to condense France into an area of less than 10 by 10 km² 😅

[spark lance]

I typically don’t like animals that can’t legally be hunted but I feel that flamingos would work well on the southern portion
