Also, for British people there is the fact that they are Paddingtons!
Fall DLC 2023 Speculation
- Thread starter Leaf Productions
- Start date
In my case the Spectacled Bear is the Bear species I have seen the most within a Zoos. There are only 6 Zoos Holding them in Germany and I have been in 3 of them. And ich I remember right from my childhood they were hold also formerly at Nuremberg where I have Seen them again. So you can say it is my Zoo Bear.
Took me years to figure that out, I only had old books where it looked like a brown bear instead of a spectacled bear.
Museum DLC
. Spectacled Bear (Paddington, is included for obvious reasons if you’ve seen the movie)
. Shoebill (living fossil)
. Nile Crocodile (living fossil)
. Darwin’s Rhea (named after Charles Darwin, the famous scientist who came up with evolution)
. Tamarins WTE (Golden Lion and Cotton-top, are at the Museum of Science in Boston and have a cool story on how they got to SA)
has Museum themed items such as statues and signs for all animals, fossils, education stations, and classical scenery.
You could also have Attenburogh’s Long-beaked Echidna that‘s named after Sir David Attenborough.

I feel like frontier knows if they go back to a regional pack they’re gonna get A LOT of people ask for South America next. It makes sense for South America to be in the future. My top 2 bets for December pack are either Highlands Animal Pack (as I originally predicted) or Amazon Animal Pack.
Wonder what time Frontiers report will be out, we could still be looking at another year or more of support and packs yet.
Wait, am I the only one who wants the sloth bear most? I know we have asian bears already, my only argument is that it is my personal favorite and the cutest of them all (once again, for me personally 
).
I've started to change my mind about the ABB though, seeing how vital it is for so many of us planet zooers. And also I think frontier would make it look absolutely gorgeous. I never really fell in love with the base game bears, so I've rarely used them since sun bear.

I am in love with this pack! My first and main zoo is based in Hawaii so the building pieces will be perfect and there's TWO birds!!!
Was it supposed to be out tomorrow or today?
I think Australia and NZ have good representation (now (proportionally) in-line with, but not better than, other continents, excluding SA, which remains badly under-represented). That said, there are still a lot of animals i think would be great additions as well as a couple that are 'needed'...
- At least one 'flying' bird - i don't mean something new, like WT / aviary birds, I mean along the lines of flying birds already in-game. For example, a crane, swan, duck, lyrebird or similar.
- At least one more macropod that shares its distribution with another macropod (e.g., Yellow-footed rock wallaby)
I think Wednesday at some point, I really don't know when due to timezone differences
That’s a fantastic pack. I’d love to get skeletons too, but not sure how to go about it. Would you get skeletons of the packs animals, or the more iconiv animals? Which animals and why are the skeletons now in a pack that the animals arent in?
On second thought maybe not the best idea. I’d pay for a scenery ”educational” pack with just skeletons for a bunch but not all animals, and cohesive sign and statues
If I were to choose:
-Generic bear and big cat skeleton
-Tusks, horns and antlers of bigger herbivores, some generic some specific
-Full bison, giraffe and elephant skeletons
-Constrictor and a monitor skeleton, crocodilian skull
-Whale skeleton and shark jaws
-Couple of skeletons of recently extinct species
-Embedded sea fossils
-And couple of bone pieces so we can construct our own
To be honest, I’d also really love to have a sloth bear in the game.
This is basically how I feel as well. We’ve still got too few species from an Oceanian perspective, but more than enough from a global perspective, so it kinda balances itself out, y’know? At the very least Oceanian zoos don’t feel left out anymore, given everything from the species selection in the DLC to the addition of the temperate biome to Oceania in the free update feels explicitly tailored towards us.
Pros of our current macropod representation: Good coverage of different regions, with the red-necked wallaby representing the south-east, the quokka the south-west, and the red kangaroo the interior
Cons of our current macropod representation: Ironically, because they’re all evenly spaced out, none of them coexist in the wild
So to sum up this whole “is Oceania complete?” discussion, there is always still more to add, what is needed and what’s not obviously depends on your own bias, but I think we can all agree now when comparing the continents that Oceania isn’t a stand out, it’s missing two-three animals just like Africa, NA, Asia, etc. South America is the only odd ball left.
