Thanks! Quite a peculiar choice, I must say ;D

I sure am :)
As for countries, I am open for suggestions!
Currently I can't decide how to arrange the stripes of the São Paulo flag.

An interesting fact is that a tiger was originally depicted on the coat of arms of the Irkutsk region, but due to the similarity in names (Бабр - is the old Russian designation of a tiger, Бобр - is a beaver), at different times the heraldry was altered and a large beaver-like tail and webbed were added to the tiger in the coat of arms. hind legs, having created a new mythical animal, which is still used as a symbol of the Irkutsk region, they even made a monument to him.

What I find even more interesting is the fact that the marten (the prey of the babr as depicted on Irkutsk's coat of arms (https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%93%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B1_%D0%98%D1%80%D0%BA%D1%83%D1%82%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0)) is a primary symbol of Ufa's coat of arms (https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%93%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B1_%D0%A3%D1%84%D1%8B). ;D

Yes, and to be more precise, he has sables (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sable) in his teeth (from the weasel family)
They live mainly in the taiga part of Russia, so they can be found on many coats of arms of individual cities in that area and even entire regions, for example, the Novosibirsk and Sverdlovsk regions.

I think there's no Taiga terrain yet. It would be cool. Sable could be there. And maybe even that Chimera-like animal (beaver-tiger). Or just real life forms.

The geographic accuracy and inclusiveness of taiga life species in W:A should clearly be the top priority in W:A community. :D

I agree, we need a taste of Mother Russia, with the beaver-tiger roaming the untouched beauty of the Russian taiga in W:A. :P

If someone creates such a terrain, please let me know, it would be cool to play on such a destructible map. ;D

Well, the last Terrain SIBASA worked was an ecoregion/biome that featured species from all around the globe. It included the Mangrove Swamp areas from many different regions from America to Oceania.

Taiga is present in several countries, not only Russia (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiga). And it's a beautiful ecoregion/biome that I would like to have an experience to be in that place in my life.

Taiga is only an idea, it could be any ecoregion/biome existing in the world, including the ones present in Ukraine (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ecoregions_in_Ukraine).
