Hard to say, the original question hasn’t drawn a response yet ¯\(ツ)/¯
Planet Zoo: Arid Animal Pack Releasing 20 June 🐪

One Question regarding the german Name of the Pack. What is a dry Animal Pack. Trocken-Tierpaket (dry-Animal Pack) sounds like Animals being dried like Fruit. It should definitely be possible to come up with a better Translation. It sounds so weird
Edit: the Description also calls the Sandcat a Big Cat and the Dromedary is called Dromedar-Kamel (Dromedary Camel) despite the Fact that absolutely no one calls it that, so I hope it isn't like that in the Game. Dromedar would be the correct german Name
I wonder if we'll get any new Enrichment Objects. They weren't mentioned in the Description

In Danish it seems like they went with the Danish word for drought (tørke), which is also kind of weird.One Question regarding the german Name of the Pack. What is a dry Animal Pack.

At the end of the day that's a valid point to disagree on; but I only see it as a criteria for judging the pack itself.
It doesn't mean that there isn't valid criticism to have on the selection process of animals though. I think that in itself can receive criticism, especially as you mention that there is a real possibility that we're nearing the end of development. But I tend to look at that separate from the actual pack we're getting because no matter how awesome a mara would be, that doesn't directly have an influence on the quality of for instance the Somali Wild ass.
But again, that's something that personal for everyone, I don't think there's a right or wrong in this scenario.
It almost feels like it.Google Translate?

Hello! The Dama Gazelle in the Arid Animal Pack is the N. d. ruficollis, Addra Gazelle subspecies! Hope that helps
Alright I'm warming up (no pun intended!) to this pack. I'm still not thrilled with it but it's not as bad as my initial gut reaction to it on Tuesday. I've already said I'm thrilled with the Crested Porcupine, and how I've been fine with the Sand Cat, Somali Wild Ass, and the Dromedary. Accepting that this is the pack regardless of whether we hate it or love it, it's better to try and accept it as reality. We're much better off that way. The Addax was highly requested after all, and the Black Rhino was fairly highly requested. They're also both very much endangered or critically so, and that fact alone makes them worthwhile to pursue in the zoo setting. Still not warming up to the second antelope at all though and the same with the snake. I imagine those will take time for me to even use (I still have animals from the Twilight pack onwards I haven't used!)
I asked myself the same thing about some of the other animals we have: (It's not quite the same topic, but it fits in well)One Question regarding the german Name of the Pack.

The Babirusa, for example, is called "Babirusa" in the German version, while "Hirscheber" is much more common.
The Malayan tapir is a "Malaysischer Tapir" but the word "Schabrackentapir" is more common in Germany.
While the Sun Bear was translated as "Sonnenbär", but it is more commonly called "Malaien Bär".
Yes, you can say both, but it feels partly wrong, at least for me.
@Lydiah Moon What species is the Black Rhino out of curiosity? As far as there being multiple species (e.g. Eastern black rhinoceros, South-Central Black Rhinoceros, etc.)
Addra Gazelles are so pretty and cute! I can't wait to see Frontier's rendition of them.
Thanks for the Information. Was hoping for the Mhorr Gazelle but this one is also niceHello! The Dama Gazelle in the Arid Animal Pack is the N. d. ruficollis, Addra Gazelle subspecies! Hope that helps
Those are also correct though
Not sure about that one
I really hope it's the Eastern subspecies, but we shall see!
I hope it's the general species

Der Malaienbär (meist Helarctos malayanus, manchmal Ursus malayanus), auch als Sonnenbär bezeichnet, ist eine Raubtierart aus der Familie der Bären (Ursidae).
Thanks for the clarification! Hopefully the name can be fixed to clarify this, as it is with other subspecies/populations like the Himalayan brown bear.Hello! The Dama Gazelle in the Arid Animal Pack is the N. d. ruficollis, Addra Gazelle subspecies! Hope that helps
Would also find it nice if they would do that
