Personally I think something like the Nile Crocodile or American Flamingo is most likely but you never know. They could give us any bird and I'd be happy with it.
An Idea for the Perfect 2023 Anniversary Animal
- Thread starter RedPandaReggie
- Start date
Id gladly eat a shoe if that means we get the baboon for anniversary, sadly i dont see it happen.
Currently my biggest hope is for the Spurred tortoise or the black buck, or in the best timeline the squirrel monkey but we just gotta wait and see
this is true. I think some would argue it's a clone of the fallow deer, but in my opinion it's far better. But in terms of the overall model, it's definitely not what I would call a clone. But I don't think they would go as far as to give out a top 10 animal from the meta for free. But the red deer was pretty high up so... maybe
I feel like the next anniversery gift will be the Ocelot.
If we look at the previous gifts ( BW Ruffed Lemur and Red Deer) we already got 1 primate and 1 ungulate. Moreover they came from Africa and Europe. To keep the Anniversery gifts a bit diverse, the next one ideally should be from a different animal category and other continent. I feel like the Ocelot hits the perfect sweet spot just like the Red Deer.

@Lydiah Moon this is very relevant for the game's development
I love everything about this post, and I’m behind this 100%
so because this the need to give us or any bird or African Spurred Tortoise, It's requested, it's clone but at the same time also not I think it can fit perfectly mostly after we didn't got them in the dlc
I honestly don't think we have enough information to come to a definitive conclusion of what criteria the animal they choose meets. The black-and-white ruffed lemur was a "clone" I guess. I still think it was a really great addition; I am happy we have a third lemur. The red deer is not a clone at all to me of any of the cervids in-game. Sure, it uses deer animations already in game, but then almost every animal in game would be a clone using that logic. I do think whatever we do get won't require very complicated animations or a very difficult model, but I don't think it will be limited to a reskin.
I really wanna see you get a boot, barbecue it, and eat with some some BBQ sauce. I want you to record every step
That's not a bad idea at all
My idea for an anniversary is that it could be anything. I'm just gonna expect the most clone-able animal ever and be happy about it. That way, if it's something like a Mexican wolf, I'm ok. But if it's something entirely different, like a Hamadryas baboon or an American flamingo, I'm even happier
I guess you could also see it as a reason agiant the boar
Ha! that's very true!
Cause variety is the spiece of life
My guess would be the Nile Crocodile too. If you exclude the Emperor Penguin and Mountain Gorilla due to their similarities to the King Penguin and Lowland Gorilla, the only base game Zoo Tycoon 2 animals left are the croc and the Musk-Ox. At this point I think they might want to finish adding those base ZT2 animals, and while the Musk-Ox can go in a Tundra-themed pack for example, there's not many pack options that a Nile Crocodile would fit in at this point.
Musk Ox I have a really good feeling about. It can also fit into highlands or Mountains as well.
For me it’s gotta be something that somewhat wouldn’t be well received as DLC/isn’t really warranted as DLC but is still a somewhat important zoo animal. Dromedary and Black Rhino both covered this. I’d most confidently say American Black Bear. It’s an important species but I’m not sure going to be well received as paid DLC given how many bears we have. Another option is the African Spurred Tortoise.
Lastly I’d put forward a couple more suggestions:

- Barbary Macaque
