Since we have all this flirting and smacking, perhaps we can add one more thing. I don't remember when but during an event, special lionesses were released into explore. Since February is about love, maybe we can add special encounters. There would be a limit on how many lionesses you can impress in a week. So you can only claim three special lionesses in one week. What I mean by special are lionesses with interesting colors and markings. Not necessarily event bases or anything (Although would be cool and might give new members a chance to get a good start with their pride) but just not the plain ugly boring ones we find.

When you encounter the lioness, she can already be in heat( So when you claim her you can breed her) and that's how you find her in explore. An option menu can pop up saying something like "Strolling along, you notice the sweet scent of a lioness in heat." Then, you get two choices of "Ignore" and "Follow" where you can possibly loose scent of her. If you find her, you can now take your chances of claiming her!

This is just an idea I've been harboring x3
