Ghost made them with the baby variant coding, you can see them here: LINK.

And the download link can be found in the first post, they are included in the RR ZT2_AA_1_Hack. You could just delete the animals that you don't want the variants/coding for, which is what I've done.

(I favored your wildebeest and Ratel variants over those, so I deleted them from the hack).

Hmmm I didn't know of those, now I kind of feel like I shouldn't have made many of these :P
Perhaps I should make some baby variants as well, the problem is it really increases the file size a lot (and it's pretty big already) not to mention it takes longer to code and test...

You could always divide it from one singular file to smaller packs, maybe? Or release them as individuals, I wouldn't mind helping out with the testing, but that's *only* if you want to take the time to code them.

Honestly, I'm happy with everything you've already done so far for us. So anything extra is just the extra cherry on top. :)

Yeah I've been thinking of splitting it into smaller packs too, but not sure how to divide them. By expansion pack? Subtle variants & special variants? Or just individual files? I think it would be a hassle to download 20 individual files.

If I make any special coding that will be after I feel like I'm done with the variants I think. Otherwise I might add a new variant and have to recode everything again :P

Maybe you could try making a Zip file of the downloads so people can extract the ones they want and leave the ones they don't out? That way it wouldn't be like downloading 20 different files. I also kind of like the idea of breaking it up by pack, it'd be a lot easier to manage.

Also just curious but have you said that you'll do MM animals too? You probably said it somewhere but it's hard to find :P

Well a .z2f file is basically the same as a .zip file. You can easily open it with 7zip and delete the files for variants you're not interested in (you don't even need to extract it), I'm thinking of making a short tutorial so people can download the full file and delete what they don't want.

And yes I'm doing MM variants, in fact there are two in my list :P

I know you have already done elephants but I have always really wanted a "pink" asian elephant. As they get older depigmentation creates a distinct pink pattern. As many animals in zoo collections are quite old I think would be a really useful variant.

The Asian elephant already includes three variants with varying amount of pink on the trunk/ears, like:

You're right but maybe there can be some with the much deeper contrast as shown in the images

I don't really think it's needed but I'll think about it.

Small update today. The melanistic and white zebra legs were bothering me (they were just a brighter version of the golden zebra's) so I reskinned them using Bunyupy's quagga texture:

Some might not care but I like them better and they look closer to the references I used :P

Also been working on some algae covered manatees as requested by NICKFOU, I'd like some feedback on these since it's not a regular variant:

No good hero is a one-trick phony.

The texture and color are right, but they feel a little uniform. I would try making them asymmetrical and a little patchier, like with blotches on different spots and maybe some scars on the back. Also maybe you could a make a single variant with both green and brown algae?
Good work, regardless.

Its a subtle change but I think the zebras look much better. And I quite like the algae-covered manatees, it's different but still looks good.

Love the manatee idea, I love those subtle variants.

Even better than what I was expecting ! Thanks for that ;)
But I agree with @magpiealamode about the patchier look but only on the green version, the brown one looks awesome like that :D .
