Fall DLC 2023 Speculation

My big hopes for a Children's Zoo / Petting zoo pack are goats, ducks, playgrounds, and merry-go-rounds. But man oh man would I far prefer squirrel monkeys to a shetland pony or cow.

For mountains, there are tons of good choices, but give me Pallas cat and a bird and I'll be happy (give me another monkey and the hyrax and I'll over the moon).

Penguins are my favourite animals. I don't think we need a third really but I would personally like more if support lasts for a while.

My favourite penguin of all is the Humboldt and I do really want it in the game. I know it is very similar to the African but for me it is the "zoo penguin", over here all zoos big and small have this as their go to penguin species. I've also gotten to work with this species before so I have a personal attachment to them.

I also want to see a crested penguin in the game, either of the rockhoppers or the macaroni would work. I just think this would be a great addition as a more unique penguin that would mix well with the Kings.

Beyond that I'd be cool with Gentoo/Chinstrap or Little Blues as well.

Twilight Pack wasn't really late compared to previous Planet DLCs. Planet Coasters' World's Fair Pack was released the 16 of October. The earliest a fall Planet DLC was released is the 25th of September, which was the Spooky Pack, so I'd say that we've got a range from that date until the 18th of October (+- a few days).
 
There's no such thing as "Oceania". The biodiversity of Australia and New Zealand is vastly different; the cassowary and emu represent Australia, not "Oceania".
I tend to lump Australia and the nearby islands in my head while trying think of regions that are lacking.
This is what I mean: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceania

There aren't many land mammals to pick from on many of the islands, but there are many cool birds. The Kiwi seems essential for New Zealand representation, but I don't think there is much else besides penguins (some of which also range in Australia), maybe a fur seal, and a sea turtle that have a chance to end up in a habitat. Maybe a Nene goose??

I think the little blue penguin would be a great addition, but I mostly hear about it in the context of Oceania rep, which is lacking. Most of the Oceanian animals in demand are from Australia, but there are also a few from New Guinea. The kiwi is among the top five birds I would add to the game and is the second most requested habitat bird. The others of my top 5 are: scarlet ibis or roseate spoonbill for SA, Mute Swan for Europe, Grey Crowned Crane or Secretary Bird, and the Mandarin Duck.

I meant no disrespect to New Zealand and other Pacific Islands. What beyond the Kiwi would you recommend for habitat animals?
