I am working with Lopes on a document or series of documents about the fauna and flora of the maps (biome).

 

For now I am focusing on Copan in the highlands as a practical example.

 

In my research I have found 2 animal species that no one took into account in this discussion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collared_peccary

This is the closest thing to a wild boar in the Americas. It's not just for Mesoamerica.

 

 

 

Canis latrans is other which was not taken into account the first time. This is because its habitat is not well documented, and no one associates this animal with the Mayan world.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coyote

This animal is more culturally associated with arid zones, such as Aridoamerica.

"The coyote is a prominent character in Native American folklore, mainly in Aridoamerica, usually depicted as a trickster that alternately assumes the form of an actual coyote or a man. As with other trickster figures, the coyote uses deception and humor to rebel against social conventions. The animal was especially respected in Mesoamerican cosmology as a symbol of military might."

 

A third one I found is a rabbit that is found in North and Central America.

Many subspecies can also be added to the rabbit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_cottontail

There are many varieties of this animal. See if any kind of rabbit was not considered before.

GDD Biome Copan Valley - 0 AD V3 EN.pdf

I created a standard version that can be adapted to any existing biome. It's primarily a document for someone to read and use to generate various maps with the information.It is also designed for a 3D artist to work with this information.
