Essential Exhibit Animals Meta-Wishlist 3: And Possibly Final

1st things 1st:
@random goat's thread of essential animals https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/new-20-essential-habitat-animals-meta-wishlist.582340/
@Spiderhawk's thread of essential aviary species https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/essential-aviary-animals.565435/
@yoav_r's thread of aquatics https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/25-aquatic-animal-meta-wishlist.591432/

Ok, here we go. The 3rd (possibly final, depending on what goes on in 2022 and 2023). Same as the last, y'all will be making y'alls lists of beautiful, amazing, cool, and weird animals.

Now, we for sure have 4 DLC left, plus possibly a free exhibit animal for the 3rd anniversary(?).

So, this'll be a bit different:
  1. Lists of 5-15 will be accepted. For more detail on additional votes, see post.
  2. In addition to the extra votes, you can revote if an animal on your list makes it into the game. For more detail, see post.
  3. I will attempt to divide things again by type (snakes, lizards, etc.), but, if certain choices are taxonomically closely related and share a common name, I will put those together (if y'all put the species name, it'll really help). For more detail, see post.
  4. No more than 1 animal for each species type group that will be displayed in the same row. For more detail, see post.
  5. No birds (visit Spiderhawk's thread), no aquatics (visit Yoav_r's thread).
  6. Exhibit mammals are now accepted. For more detail, see post.
  7. Go wild!

The old list still had a lot of "life" in it still, imo, if we do get only 4-5 DLCs left, I would say there was no need for new.

But never to be one to run from a wish list:

1. Common Chameleon
2. Alpine Newt
3. Frilled Neck Lizard
4. Chinese Crocodile Lizard
5. Panther Chameleon
 
Only five? That's so difficult!

1) Panther chameleon (Furcifer pardalis)
2) King cobra (Ophiophagus hannah)
3) Frilled lizard (Chlamydosaurus kingii)
4) Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum)
5) Hermann’s tortoise (Testudo hermanni)

I choose one from each continent. Unfortunately I had no space for the blue poison dart frog :(
 
Damn, just five?? It was hard enough with the previous ten... And I thought I could just copy my list from the other thread, as last DLCs didn't change anything from it. Ok, I guess invertebrates are out, it was hopeless to reach a decent riversity of them with just 1 exhibit animal per pack :rolleyes::cry:

Turtles
1. Hermann’s tortoise

Lizards
2. Tokay gecko (or any other gecko)
3. Panther chameleon (or any other chameleon)

Snakes
4. King cobra (or any other Asian cobra)

Amphibians
5. Axolotl
 
Trying to narrow down almost all of the reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates I want into just five species is very difficult. I have voted tactically (I don't, for instance, think we will get either snakes or spiders with DLC) and with that in mind these are my five choices:

1. Common chameleon (Chamaeleo chamaeleon)
2. Turquoise dwarf gecko (Lygodactylus williamsi)
3. Central Asian tortoise (Testudo horsfieldii)
4. Kaiser's spotted newt (Neurergus kaiseri)
5. Olimpia's ground beetle (Carabus olympiae)

Good idea to keep it to 5
I’d say if they announce anything to advance into 2023 then do another
I plan to revive my aviary list soon
1. Coconut Crab
2. Jackson’s chameleon
3. Axolotl
4. King Cobra
5. Leopard gecko
Currently no crabs, chameleons, cobras or geckos. We have no newts but Axolotls are too cool to not include IMO.

If we ever get a newt, I would have to vouch for the emperor newt of China. Beautiful species with a growing captive presence.

Wow, you leave for a couple of hours, you come back and there is an avalanche of lists. I hope to have it updated tomorrow, but it depends on how I feel (got the COVID booster and I had a migraine since yesterday. Yay)
 
Still no small mammals, right?

Well, either way, here is my list, shortened to 5!
1. Panama Golden Frog
2. Chinese Giant Salamander
3. Gooty Sapphire Ornamental Tarantula
4. Panther Chameleon
5. Madagascar Big-Headed Turtle
 
1. Axolotl (are they too aquatic? If so, replace with tokay gecko)
2. Jackson's Chameleon
3. Flat Rock Lizard
4. Land Hermit Crab
5. Box Turtle (any)
