Hello everyone,
I’m drawing a zoo in my city Morros in Balonis now. I found one problem: which animals do we have in OGF and where? Can someone help me with this?

I think we have the same animals as the real world does - perhaps plus a few extra ‘sub-species’. Where they come from is an interesting question and one than needs to be discussed in more detail. The distribution of plants and animals should be set out in a way that makes the OGF world believable. My personal opinion, anyway, is that for now you could include any earth animal but you don’t need to say exactly where it comes from - unless, that is, another country is offering you a specific animal associated with their country, as for example the list of animals on this page which are sort of ‘owned’ by their respective creators.
Since I think you’re the first to ask this question (and noting that I’ve not yet put it on the above page) I can offer you 2 (female) Ūdzđąnąrąt Solitaires (Pezophaps udenaratensis) - the Udenarat Dodo - on the strict understanding that they are well looked after and not sold on to other zoos or research facilities. Their favourite food is the turtlefruit and the zoo will also need a supply of this, perhaps from a small orchard.

There is a kind of draft of a page that covers some of this information, by user Asperagus:

@Ūdilugbulgidħū Okay, thank you for the explaining. I will just include earth animals.
Well, I think that’s a very good offer! The Morros City Zoo will accept this offer and look well after the Solitaires.
@Luciano That page looks nice, I will probaly use some of these animals for the zoo.

Actually, also worth looking at, although it’s quite minimal so far, is the Natural Sciences portal:

Yeah, Ūdilugbulgidħū gave me the link to that page too :)
