Fun stuff. Horns are modified hair. This is pretty hard to see with a cow horn or a water-buffalo horn, but if you find a pronghorn horn, it's really obvious and fun to look at. Pronghorn, like a lot of ungulates, are very curious. My dad's a botanist and when he was working in the arctic he'd be kn...

I'd like to see the fishing, frogging and a lot of the other unusual behaviors that have been mentioned here over the years. But I'd like there first to be a mechanic for your wolf to learn how to do it. Like maybe you have to try to chase a fish 1d10+5 times before fish become targets you can catch...

I hope you don't mind if I add my thoughts on this. C: I think it would be a great idea trying to find objects and receiving achievements, just like in 2.7. But I don't think we should be able to carry them. We don't have dens in AM and LR, so I'm not sure why we could carry an item that has no fun...

I'm not a geneticist and I don't study it directly. I'm just trying to follow their logic path :). At face value, the "KK=lethal" assumption just seemed like a convenient way to make the K locus work for the game. Well, since KB/KB wolves almost never succeed in reproducing, one might say they are ...

Is there a similar gene to the K-locus for determining brown coats as well? Sort of. Your coat-colour paint-box has two paints only -- Eumelanin, which is dark brown/black, and pheomelanin, which is red. At A-locus, the genetic code says how to distribute these colours in the coat. Normally it says...

That's really interesting stuff, Beez. I wonder how heterozygous KK wolves are for other stuff. If dominant-black at K is a mutation that occurred in domestic dogs and was passed to wolves (seems pretty well proven that it is) and this happened only a couple of times (hmmmm...) then a KK wolf probab...

I believe that these genetics apply only to domestic dogs. Wolf genetics are similar, but a bit different. Also, the developers likely want genetics as simple and standard as possible for the game for the sake of ease. Domestic dogs have a bunch of possoble mutations that don't exist in wolves, but...

It just ain't so that being double-dominant black at K-locus is fatal. That pup would just be black. Unless it's got a recessive mutation at B-locus, and is 'chocolate' (brown), or at E, and is yellow/red, or somewhere else I don't remember which will make it the even grey they call 'blue' or 'silve...

I've only seen a wild one once, in Quebec, near Grenville-Sur-La-Rouge.

Please give coyotes varying (realistic) pelt colors. I like this idea. I'm going to go ahead and second it. I think it would help make things a little more interesting and realistic. What would be great is if the coyotes learned -- if you bite one, or just chase it enough to tire it, it will stay f...

We need a tiny minority of coyotes who will respond to a play-bow and have a romp.

Will cattle ranch still be in WQ3? If it is, will it be its own level like before or are you going to make it walkable? IE: You travel to the ranch by walking there, rather than teleporting. We would like to make the cattle ranch contiguous with the game map, for naturalism and also so it’s availab...

My preference would be to make the invisible walls visible when you're near them. Translucent, visible wall, possibly labeled 'end of world' or 'edge of simulation'. I spend a fair amount of time checking the map to see if I'm at the edge of the sim, or if I'm bouncing off a feature that's just too ...

Some method of allowing players to check others for a readable profile of wolf character's gender, age, notes, as RP chat is pretty constantly interrupted by requests for this information. Also, maybe 'local chat' tab, where only the other wolves within x-radius of your own can hear you. Etc - Globa...

Oooh, yeah. These look fantastic.

I wonder if we'll be able to fall, maybe get knocked off a cliff by an angry ram.

Or recreate the thrilling conclusion of one of my favourite wolf stories, Badlands Billy, the Wolf That Won (Ernest Thompson Seton, 1905).
