New Fuchsia Encounter
During April only, there's a small chance you will find a Fuchsia Flower item! It will be a bit like a gem find - and they're pretty useless, unless you craft them!

You will need 4x Fuchsia Flowers, 40x Flamingo Feathers and 100x of Uvuma-Omhlope, Umganu and Impheho in order to craft "Scent of Fuchsia" - a new base applicator!

Fuchsia base can be crafted, applied and bred any time of the year, it's just the flower that is unique to this month. The base's genetics are Red Countershaded Light Special.
Thank you Becky for your suggestion of the base!

New Special Applicators:

Eye Applicator: Bismuth can now be crafted from various gems. Check the crafting area in Monkey Business for the recipe!
Here are the rainbow genetics for this little gem of an eye:
Bismuth 10%, Albinoid 5%, Aqua 5%, Blue 5%, Crimson 5%, Crystal 6%, Emerald 6%, Glass 6%, Jade 5%, Mint 5%, Paradise 6%, Red 5%, Sapphire 6%, Sunburst 5%, Yellow 5%, Green 5%, Amber 5%, Pink 5%

Gorilla Enclave will now feature two new applicators that you guys voted in the poll not so long ago:
* Applicator: Kimanjano Markings will let you add one of four random markings to your lion. You pick the slot.
* Feline Applicator: Maroon will let you add any chosen Feline type of Maroon colour to your lion. You pick the slot and opacity.

Obviously, to match the others, Kimanjano app will also be a Referral Shop reward.

Trading Center streamline tweaks:
* Thanks to this idea, TC will now let you see item descriptions when you hover over them with your mouse (or click on mobile).
* You can now add messages when placing offers in TC. You can also add a message if you cancel or reject an offer to give a reason why - remember the staff can track the messages, don't break the rules!

Other Updates:
* Tsavo Teen Males will now show their decor both in wardrobe and on lions with proper mane-adapted versions!
* With this lovely idea we have added a new Kind spectrum personality as one of the default ones - "Fatherly" - it lets you pick up two cubs per day from the Giving Tree.
* Based on this thread, when the markings drop downs loads, it loads the first automatic choice as “choose” - you have to make sure to select one rather than a slot auto selecting now. Hope it will resolve the issue, we don't need any annoying pop ups this way!
* New emojis in chat and PM’s/forums, based on suggestions by:
