📋 About This Mod
Improved models and textures for the Timber Wolf in Planet Zoo, male and female have slight model differences. Since in some regions the Timber Wolf in the game is named specifically as Mackenzie Valley Wolf (Northwestern Wolf or Alaskan Timber Wolf), its appearance is based on that subspecies. You can download the Animal Rename mod to change the Timber Wolf to the Northwestern Wolf.
November 29th Update: Improved models including a better nose model, added 4 variants being Cream and white, Black-brown, Black-grey and Black fur. Juvenile remaster is added back after being missing on the ACSE update.
Variant description translations coming soon.

For players who want more realistic wildlife visuals and appreciate attention to subspecies accuracy. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or a complete animal overhaul—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager, preview the textures in-game to see which variant you prefer before committing.
- Check if the mod conflicts with other animal texture mods—load order might matter if you have multiple.
- Since it's a texture-only mod, it should be safe to add or remove mid-save, but a backup is always a good habit.
