Description: The Asian Straight-Tusked Elephant is a large extinct species of elephant that lived during the late Pleistocene Epoch, it had a very wide range across the continent of Asia, from India where it was first discovered, to Japan and even Sri Lanka.  This species of the genus Palaeoloxodon was the largest member of its genus, some first thought it was a subspecies of Palaeoloxodon Antiquus, the Straight-Tusked Elephant, and some still do associate it with that because of the extreme similarities of the tusks.  So far we only know of fragmental remains of the Asian Straight-Tusked Elephant, namely a partial skeleton and some partial thigh bones, so we can only estimate at the size of an adult Asian Straight-Tusked Elephant.  Our current estimates on this animal's size is incredible compared to modern elephants and Mammoths, in the year 2015, an analysis on the Asian Straight-Tusked Elephants size have caused some scientists to believe that this elephant was one of, if not the largest land mammal to ever walk the Earth, rivaling the size of the Paraceratherium, though our analysis is still incomplete due to not enough fossilized remains found, we don't know for sure if the Asian Straight-Tusked Elephant was really larger than the Paraceratherium or not.
Mod: Asian Straight-Tusked Elephant (Mjmannella)  thezt2roundtable.com/asian-str…
Personal Thoughts: Even though this animal was not in the default ZT2 game, this mod is a prime example of what I mean by default style modeling and textures.  Compare this style to the default animals and you can easily see what I mean, if we do get a mod that adds the ZT1 animals into the game, this is the kind of style I want them to be in.  Anyways, this one is really well made, it looks like it could have made it into the default game, it has no bugs or glitches, the modeling and textures are very realistic and match the default style, and it can breed properly.  I highly recommend checking this mod out.
My Rating: 10/10

You're in luck. There is a vanilla styled mod that's adding ZT1 animals in. Can be found here.

No problem. It's not every animal yet. But it's a good amount of them so far. ;3
