Thanks to my mildly slower internet these past few days, I noticed that when I click to claim an NCL in explore, the background would take a moment to load. So that gave me an idea!

1. Leave the background of the current exploration area visible when claiming a lioness. Are you exploring in the desert? Let me see the desert behind the lioness!

2. Perhaps it'd be nice to even throw in a few little decor items; like a plant or something. There could be very small chance that, upon claiming the lioness, you might also get said background or decor item with the lioness! Or, say, you see an aloevera plant next to the lioness? Then you have a small chance of getting an aloe vera leaf when you claim her. Or an even small chance of winning the aloe vera decor itself!
