New World Giant Tortoises

<p>Adds nine species of New World giant tortoises that spawn in different environments to your world. This mod includes the red-footed tortoise (Chelonoidis carbonarius), the yellow-footed tortoise (C. denticulatus), the Chaco tortoise (C. chilensis), the Gal&aacute;pagos giant tortoise (C. niger), the Bahamian tortoise (C. alburyorum)&dagger;, the Cuban giant tortoise (C. cubensis)&dagger;, the Mona tortoise (C. monensis)&dagger;, Gerson's tortoise (C. gersoni)&dagger;, and Marcano's tortoise (C. marcanoi)&dagger;.<br /><br />All adult tortoises added by this mod can be hunted for their shells, which can be used for decoration and are also a taxidermy component. Some tortoises are also a source of bushmeat. If you truly desire to, you can breed them by keeping a male and female tortoise of the same species in an enclosed space with a trough full of fruit or vegetables. Tortoise eggs and baby tortoises can be picked up and transported alive using a bug net, but juvenile and adult tortoises cannot be caught in that manner.<br /><br />Note: Species marked with &dagger; are extinct in the present day but existed within modern human history (the Holocene epoch), justifying their inclusion. These mods include only species that have been alive at some point within the past 12,000 years.</p> <p>Note: This mod requires version 1.0.1 or later of the mod <strong>Bug Net Compatibility&nbsp;</strong>(<a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/bugnetcompatibility">https://mods.vintagestory.at/bugnetcompatibility</a>) to function properly. Issues may occur if that mod is not also installed.<br /><br />Special thanks to Tenth Architect for the Fauna of the Stone Age taxidermy system, which this mod also uses (although it does not require any FotSA mods and works with or without them).</p>
