- Simple concept: just adds a new species, no bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- No details on whether it includes custom animations or enrichment items, so it might be a basic reskin.
- Only updated once (October 2024), so it might not be actively maintained for future game patches.
- Could conflict with other mods that alter elephant species or zoo animal lists.
