📋 About This Mod
These are remakes for animals from the Extinct Animals expansion pack, with color schemes based on the original animals created by Blue Fang (unless there is scientific evidence of their actual coloration).
All remakes override the original in every way (meaning they can be created at the lab from fossils, guests will have them as favorites, donate to them, buy gifts, etc.)
All feature juvenile stages and at least 2 "regular" variant skins, plus a rare skin (albino/leucistic), all feature slow growth (meaning they will get slowly bigger with time instead of turning 3 times bigger in 5 seconds), and have "baby variants" which are consistent as they grow up. Rare variants are also linked to genetics, so you will have a hard time getting them from regular colored animals, but breeding albino animals results in a higher chance of albino babies.
These remakes might conflict with other remakes, hacks, filters, etc. affecting these animals. If they are not working properly for you, try renaming the file and adding more zzzz to the name, until they are last in alphabetical order, and remove files that might be conflicting.
Some names, biomes, and behaviors have been changed for the sake of realism.
