The mod you are downloading currently features:
New Species Coding - Boost your basegame roster with this additional animal!
Juvenile Scaling - As babies are born, they will scale with age until they mature.
Full Zoopedia - Genuine and well-developed information goes into perfectly fulfilling animal knowledge in the Zoopedia.
Education Boards - Specifically developed for education of guests, with beautiful shots of the animal!
Interspecies Enrichment - Adds appropriate Interspecies Enrichment to create more dynamic habitats!
Extra Morphs - A splash of color! Adds a bunch of new morphs to give those animals a bit more color!
This animal is based off of the Sable Antelope, and will only use the enrichment and habitat items originally designed for it.
