Wait so if I previously submitted a list in random’s thread, I can’t submit one here, or…?
Yes, the lists are separate. Please vote on both pages. I use a few different counting schemes to incorporate the priority of voters' favorites, starting with their first animal. Random's list is older and has more participants, so it is also important to post there as well.

A few differences:
Here, you can submit 10-50 animals.
Here, you can edit your post until the last day of the current month.

Again, this list does not allow substitutions as animals are added, but I will create a new one around the next anniversary, provided support continues. Sometimes the developers add similar animals to something highly requested, and people change their minds about what they want either from additions or their own whims. People can submit updated lists then.

I do plan on having subsitute species but they won't be counted for the poll. I am only listing them for fun.

  1. Sulcatta Tortoise
  2. Radiated Tortoise
  3. Red-footed Tortoise
  4. Lace Monitor
    I was stuck between Lace Monitor, Perentie, and the Asian Water Monitor but I feel like they share a similar niche so I only chose one
  5. Nile Crocodile
  6. Arican Dwarf Crocodile (We just need African crocodiles)
  7. African Crested Porcupine
  8. North American Porcupine
  9. Brazilian Porcupine
  10. Patagonian Mara
  11. Nutria
  12. Short-beaked Echidna
  13. Southern Tamandua
  14. Matschies Tree Kangaroo
  15. Eastern Grey Kangaroo (I just thought people would get bored of using the same species kangaroo over and over again)
  16. Swamp Wallaby (same statement as above but for wallabies)
  17. Hamadryas Baboon
  18. Gelada
  19. DeBrazza Guenon
    Other species would be Diana Monkey, Mona Monkey, or the Red-tailed Guenon
  20. Grivet Monkey (A distinct listing from the guenons due to being found in dryer climates instead of jungles interchangable with the Patas)
  21. Guereza Colobus
  22. Barbary Macaque
  23. Francois Langur
    Other species of langur I would choose would be Javan, Dusky, and Hanuman Langurs could also work
  24. Black and Gold Howler Monkey
  25. Woolly Monkey
  26. Common Squirrel Monkey
  27. Coquerel's Sifaka
  28. Pere Davids Deer
  29. Sika Deer (we need some Asian deer)
  30. Reeve's Muntjac (sorry duiker and dik-dik fans, but this is the small ungulate I would go for)
  31. Markhor
  32. Takin (we need an Asian caprid but the Markhor and Takin are too distinct from another to have only one of them on the list)
  33. American Mountain Goat
  34. Red River Hog
  35. Collared Peccary
  36. Great White Pelican
    Other species of pelican I would choose would be Brown, Dalmatian, and Australian Pelican
  37. Grey Crowned Crane (I consider crowned cranes distinct enough to have a seperate place on the list apart from the other cranes)
  38. Demosielle Crane
  39. Marabou
  40. Carribean Flamingo (if we are going to have all species of big cat we may as well get a second flamingo)
  41. Canada Goose (the best goose)
  42. Mute Swan
    Other species of swan I would choose would be Trumpeter, Black-Necked, Black, and Coscoroba (yea I know the last one is not a real swan idc)
  43. Madarin Duck (of all the ducks I know this would be the most "grounded"/"basic" without being a mallard)
  44. Southern Ground Hornbill
  45. Greater Rhea
  46. Yellow-Throated Marten
  47. Tayra
  48. Banded Mongoose
  49. African Civet
  50. Not really "essential" but Common Brushtail Possum would be nice
Wolverine, Fossa, Kiwi, Tasmanian Devil, Andean Bear, and Black Rhinoceros since I feel like they already have enough requests and they might make it. I also didn't ask for felines and canines since I believe that most of them are gonna make it since Frontier will almost always have a canid and/or a felid.
