The problem with this is they aren't found in Oceania, only in SE Asia.
Fall DLC 2023 Speculation
- Thread starter Leaf Productions
- Start date
Super excited about the update news ! I mean, viewing domes that also work underwater and brachiation added to the orangutan? HYPE ! 
For the animals, I'm not sure all the guesses I hear are correct. If they are, I will be super happy for the Tasmanian Devil. But a little bit meh about the rest. The kiwi remains a bad choice imo (I will die on that hill, sorry) and I'm not super interested in the quokka or blue penguin either. Now, if it's the rockhopper penguin and the sulawesi crested macaque instead, it would get instantly way better. I really hope it's not only Oceania animals.
But anyway, every pack can't be perfect for everybody and I'm gonna choose to see the positive. If I get my Tassie and a good update, it's already great !
And once again, I think this update is proof PZ's team is really listening to the community. The fact they are still updating base game animals like the orangutan is wonderful and highly appreciated. Big up Frontier !

Likewise if it's an island pack.
I actually think it's islands and:
The fire clue is Tasmanian Devil
The smile clue is the Macaque (remember that selfie a sulawesi macaque took and then there was legal srama over wherher the macaque owned it)
The getaway clue is the tree kangaroo
the Cerulean Pebble is the kiwi. They're literally blueish Brown circles.
Not buying this quokka idea, or a second Australia Pack.

They eat the flowers apparently.I don't get how the last drink could be seen as lorikeets
All four of the habitat animals have at least some presence in European zoos - six places keep Tasmanian devil and seven keep kiwi. Even though both the quokka and little blue penguin are only kept in one zoo each, there is an appetite among European zoos to get them; indeed the export of further penguins to Europe is planned for 2024, while the quokkas are planned to be bred in a single 'hub' zoo before being spread out elsewhere.
As a result, I'd be very happy with all four of the suggested animals. Maybe save tree kangaroos for another time.

what if it was hummingbirds because they love flowers
They would break the trend of all Oceania animals. They are american.
Caribbean theming with no flamingo, I'm not gonna be happy if that happens.
Good chances of our first no-Carnivorans pack.
Somewhat good chances of two birds in one pack.
And 3 birds in one pack is also currently not off the table. (but that feels too good to be true)

I like that people are now debating like
second most requested animal in the entire game
vs
quokka because of the name of the cocktail (none of the names of the cocktails are a giveaway of what the animal is)
also for those who are saying blue penguin: in the stream they said the blue cocktail looked like a "rocky shoreline", I'll just leave that out there

So what do we think the roll-out's going to look like? We know that there's at least two new features coming (viewing domes and orangutang brachiation) but they didn't say anything about when those would be coming or when the rest of the features will be revealed...
Usually, we learn about all of the free update features ahead of the livestream. Think they'll announce the DLC tomorrow along with the free update, or spread it out a bit more?

They like citric and are nectarivorous animals.I don't get how the last drink could be seen as lorikeets
There we're also Major Update Features which had nothing to do with the delivered animals. And especially Not all animals have to get use of this Feature. So the Tunnels so Not say anything about the Exhibit animal I would say.
Based on the guesses, Tassie, Kiwi and Penguin seem quite certain. For the other slots, there's debate between the Quokka/Sulawesi Crested Macaque and Orchid Mantis/Rainbow Lorikeet.
Based on the cocktails, I would lean towards the macaque and mantis, but what theme would the pack have? All species are from a similar region, and arguably Sulawesi and all of Indonesia to its east are Oceania, but usually this isn't where the boundary is drawn. According to common definition, the macaque and mantis are part of Asia. So perhaps they could call it a Pacific pack, or something?
If we get lorikeets and quokka, Oceania is a logical guess. I assume that we will either get both of these, or both of the other picks for thematic reasons, because why would they include exactly one species restricted to Indonesia and one to Australia?
Other options are still possible of course, but make the mystery only bigger to me. If the exhibit species is a hummingbird, what will that mean for the theme? All I can think of is Tropical, but we just had that earlier this year. And 'Exotic' seems too vague and not a term that you'd wanna use these days anyway.
The most logical option considering the most recent packs would be Islands, but this brings us new problems. While it would work with the macaque and the mantis, it would be weird to have an Islands pack without Caribbean species. But then we just had the Arid DLC...

My opinions on the possible candidates:
Devil - long time coming animal, finally a small carnivore for OCE
Kiwi - Nice inclusion, great for nighthouses
Quokka - Small filler type animal that was really missing in OCE, would have prefer the tree roo tho,
Penguin - Wasnt really dying for another penguin, but every pack gotta have some clone type animals so its ok
Exhibit - I dont dare getting my hopes up for lorikeets yet
Overall a realy nice pack
Other ive seen thrown around:
Crested macaque - Wouldnt be my prefered monkey, but hey atleast it would be a monkey right?
Tree kangaroo - Would be prob my favorite of the pack, hoping well get this over the quokka and macaque
