📋 About This Mod
The nilgai (Boselaphus tragocamelus) lives in the Indian subcontinent and its known for its large size and bulky neck. And now you can have it in your zoo! It will enjoy the company of other indian animals such as the peafowl or the indian rhino. Fairly social, it allows groups up to 20 individuals.
What does the mod have?
Models for males, females and babies. Albino variants. Working zoopedia, education and research. Biome and continent preferences.
The mod is available in the following languages:
- French (thanks to Trigger)
- German (thanks to Yukina92 / Dacki1990)
- Italian (thanks to Havok1199)
- Portuguese (thanks to Masora157)
- Dutch (thanks to DutchieErik)
- Czech (thanks to RysBronislav / Papyrus)
- Simplified Chinese (thanks to Frank Zhou)

I will update the mod in the future with more languages and better thumbnails for the albinos. Until then, enjoy!
Notes:
-LOD problems with the male are now solved
-unfortunately, I couldn't make the neck hair pendant work well on the model, so it doesn't have it :(
-nilgai means blue cow in hindi
