I agree but there’s still a general distaste for carnivorans in the forums and it seems it’s now being extended to ungulates

Well we did just get a pack full of ungulates that add very little that previous ungulates didn't already cover... also the Blue Wildebeest, which has the same problem.

I disagree but again it is all subjective. Now if we get a Gerenuk, a takin, fanged deer, duiker or something similar that is unique it would still in the community eyes be an “ungulate”

If they put a Dik Dik or pudu in a pack that otherwise don't feature any ungulates. I don't think you will end up hearing a lot of ungulate complains. There will be some, but not a noticable amount I believe.

Carnivores get the same kind of complaints but the Fossa didn't suffer much under it what I have noticed.

Even the sand cat this time seem to go a bit under the radar.

With the carnivorans its more of a complaint about always the same kind of them being chosen i feel like, that kinda extended to a dislike of the whole group over time.
I assume people were more welcoming of the fossa because it wasnt a cat or dog for the 10th time

Also most packs had carnivoran similar to things already in the game. The fossa and sand cat are like nothing in the game, so they got a better response. Also cuteness is a major factor for the sand cat, if reddit is ajything to go by.

Just wondering with everyone. Let's say we get 3 more ungulates what 3 you gonna pick. Here's mine:

Sichuan takin
African Pygmy goat
Collared peccary

Throwing in my coin here as I'm one of the critics of the new pack. I think it's great to have more ungulates and I can see the value in each of the new additions (though slightly less in the black rhino). I do think that in this particular pack they should've reserved one spot for something else, i.e. the Hamadryas baboon. However, I do not have a problem with getting more ungulates and particularly more African antelopes as they are common zoo animals in general.

That said, I do think we lack a lot of ungulates and actually hope we get more than just 3. While I still see the use of more African antelopes (e.g. gerenuk, dik-dik, kudu) and deer (e.g. muntjac, pudu), for my 3 preferences I'd go for:
  • Lesser Chevrotain
  • Collared Peccary
  • Takin
