If you have observed any peculiar or realistic behaviors in the animals in ZT2 post them here. I have noticed that the Gorilla gorilla shows very realistic group behavior.

I think I saw my wolves exhibiting pack behavior once when hunting, but I can't be sure.

I have had my secretary birds run away from me in guest mode. I have had my crocs climb out of the pit they were in and bash through then post-and-rope fence. I've had my gorillas kiss (:eggsick <--I'm not into that stuff yet). I've also had my female Bile monitor stalk my male, hiss at him, then he would panic and run away. She would still stalk him, then run after him, who would be sprinting as fast as a monitor could, and then she would tire and give up chase. Later she would kill her partner.

i have an unrealistic behavior that i see: all the lizards groom each other, which i haven't seen in real life. i like that the ungulates move as a herd, though i wish they would stick with their herd and not seperate all the time.

The elephants show pretty cute behaviours - when a baby is born, all the other elephants rush to greet it!

I always like seeing a large herd of Buffalo moving together.
