Yeah the 2018 die-off was pretty horrific, wiped out almost a third of the entire Australian population and caused them to be upgraded from vulnerable to endangered. They’re a pretty good species to choose in regards to bringing awareness to species threatened by climate change.To those who're wondering why there's spectacled flying fox is added to game, it sure can be just another "clone" species but it could also be because of what happened 4~5 years ago.

Plus there's even a husbandry manual for them in Australasia lol.
I kinda hope we get two variants (one with its mouth shut/just walking too) so there's a bit more versatility with that one...Nah, count me in aswell. Sloth bear is the most interesting looking to me.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.
.Im slowly starting to warm up to the ABB, admittedly mostly so i can get a max size one and use the brown color morph as an actually good looking brown bear
It looks like I need to buy Wolverine, Spectacled Bear and Gelada toys lolJeez mate, all I wanted was the devil, you didn't have to go ahead and make the entire pack perfectly tailored to my interests. Appreciate it though!
I think the moral of the story is, if you want your literal dream pack to come to the game, make sure to carry an old maccas toy (minimum of a decade in age) of your most wanted animal around with you on the day of the special livestream, and your wishes shall be granted!
It’s already there. They will continue the support. Planet zoo is doing well financially.
Oceania has some of the highest endemism in the world since it consists entirely of evolutionally isolated islands so the fact that it has a total of 20 animals including the 5 in the new pack is still way too low especially considering how integral oceanic animals are to oceanic zoos with usually close to half the animals in zoos coming from the continent this is the case at least in Australia. But besides this point south America is definitely not the oddball I agree it is criminally under represented especially given how much biodiversity comes from that continent but how much of that is readily accessible in zoos. I think the continent that needs the most is Europe it has the lowest total animal count with less than 20 total animals and a majority of them are representative of larger regions such as the arctic circle or just the entirety of the northern hemisphere.
I think spectacled bears appeal comes mostly from its presence in the zoo tycoon series I have always been on the fence with the ABB because it is a much smaller bear compared to the brown bears so would likely feel and play differently enough to justify its inclusion but also another bear is sort of a meh choice when it could be something never seen before in the game.Nah, count me in aswell. Sloth bear is the most interesting looking to me.

Never really understood the appeal of the spectacled bear, sure its cute and taxonomicly unique, but SA has way more interesting suff to offer imo
Guess we are good for at least until the Summer I would bet.
True but I would call Oceania pack as a whole odd ball pack since animals provided there are super rare in zoos outside the region. Not like echidna and tree kangaroo that are fairly well represented both in Europe and America and are still very needed for the region to be fully represented in the game. I guess they were left to join the game at the later point.
I still wait for the full report to be presented at microsite it will always tell us something more.
I have a feeling we are going to be fine till fy25 or fy26 since they said they plan on releasing new creative management titles in these years. It is likely at least one of these will be entries in the planet series and I have a feeling one of them will be a planet zoo sequel or if it is a different planet game it will shift support away from planet zoo.
Wheter or not you think europe is well represented or not also kinda depends on your willingness to use other similar animals as stand ins. Like if your not willing to use the timber wolf, grizzly, beaver and to a lesser degree the bison as their european counterparts the place suddently cumbles to dust lacking both of its apex predator, a semi aquatic animal and its largest herbivore.
that means we can expect at least 3 more dlc in the future (until may 2024) ?
