Pseudo-Melanistic Siberian Tigers i Sandbox mode???

[bothafamilyza]

So I usually tried to get Albino and melanistic animals in Planet Zoo. When I'm in Franchise mode, there are alot of them for Conservation Credits (CC), nothing to wierd abt that, since you usually only find rare animals in Franchise more for CC, so I tried breeding Albinos in my Sandbox zoo. It didn't work the first time, so I tried a second time the next day. It also didn't work. So I gave up. Then a few days later, today, I was building my African Zoo: A Felines Paradise. The thing is, there's a a bridge over a a pond filled with Saltwater Crocks, and then there's a Zebra habitat. But then I noticed that I don't have ANY felines. So I wanted a tiger. I went into Animal Trading and searched ''Siberian Tiger'' and at the bottom of the list was a Pseudo-Melanistic tiger!!!!! It was expiring in 4 mins, so I got there jst in time. So not rlly a quistion, but, has this happend to anyone else? Bc idk if it was a glitch or smt. Thx if you reply :D!

Albinoism is a rare happening. They do turn up at times in the trade building. But not often. You find a few in the Franchise mode because people are breeding them. I am not sure how because two albinos don't = albino offspring often.

It is VERY hard, I agree. I tried with African Lowland Gorillas, the first time, but it take WAY too long for 'em to mature. So the next day I tried with cheetahs, but it didn't work aswell. So that's why I was OVEr the moon when I found a Pseudomelanistic tiger in the Animal Trading Centre. So it's SUPEr wierd but I'm not complaining XD!
I'm currently breeding with him, and so far his mate had four ofrspring, and none of them are melanistic yet. But they're still super cute!
I'll give an UPDATE as soon as I hv a melanistic tiger! Thx for the replys' btw!!!

I bred both pseudomelanistic and golden tigers (both Siberian and bengal) in my zoo with all special coat animals.
In franchise these variants are pretty common except the pseudo bengal, but in sandbox I think that checking frequently for 5-6 days every animal variation can be found on the market.
Considering I didn’t know how colour genetic works when there are more colours avaiable, I always started with a pseudo found on the market and bred him with a white tiger, then I bred the cubs with the pseudo parent, so I got many pseudo grand children

On my franchise mode I found a pseudo male Bengal and I bred him with my leucistic female and got a golden variant everytime with them but no pseudos

Actually when I was rebuilding and improving my very first (sandbox) zoo one of my bengal tigers died and I looked on the market and i found a female sliver pseudo-melanistic bengal tiger i bought her and directly put her in the tiger habitat i bred with her and got from all her young 2 from the 6 pseudo- melanistic ones

I think that rare animals turn up in Franchise trade because people breed them specifically. In Sandbox and any other mode trade they just appear randomly.
