Game: Pack Rearranging

Here’s something fun:
  1. Remove ONE animal from each DLC and place it in the base game.
  2. Fill the empty spot in the DLC with a new animal.
Here’s my go at it:

Add to base game:
  • Komodo Dragon
  • Polar Bear
  • Jaguar
  • Red Kangaroo
  • King Penguin
  • Clouded Leopard
  • Southern White Rhinoceros
  • California Sea Lion
  • Alpine Ibex
  • Capybara
  • Scimitar-Horned Oryx
  • Red Fox
  • Emu
  • Lar Gibbon
  • African Crested Porcupine
  • Tasmanian Devil
Replacements:
  • Deluxe: Nile Crocodile
  • Arctic: Must Ox
  • South America: Ocelot
  • Australia: Short-Beaked Echidna
  • Aquatic: Gentoo Penguin
  • Southeast Asia: Lowland Anoa
  • Africa: Honey Badger
  • North America: American Black Bear
  • Europe: Wild Boar
  • Wetlands: Shoebill
  • Conservation: Père David’s Deer
  • Twilight: Aye-Aye
  • Grasslands: Secretary Bird
  • Tropical: Lion-Tailed Macaque
  • Arid: Golden Jackal
  • Oceania: Matschie’s Tree Kangaroo

It’s a really nice idea but if you’d remove most popular animals from the past packs their sales would fail 🤷🏽
For this to work you should remove least popular animal like caiman from aquatic pack or thompson’s gazelle from deluxe.

I was just using those as an example.
 
Here's my go:

Deluxe - move Thomson gazelle to base game and replace with Masai giraffe
Arctic - move Dall sheep to base game and replace with musk ox
South America - move llama to base game and replace with Brazilian tapir
Australia - move southern cassowary to base game and replace with perentie
Aquatic - move Cuvier's dwarf caiman to base game and replace with walrus
Southeast Asia - move Malayan tapir to base game and replace with Sumatran orangutan
Africa - move southern white rhino to base game and replace with African spurred tortoise
North America - move Arctic fox to base game and replace with American black bear
Europe - move European fallow deer to base game and replace with wisent
Wetlands - move spectacled caiman to base game and replace with African dwarf crocodile
Conservation - move Przewalski horse to base game and replace with whooping crane
Twilight - move red fox to base game and replace with night monkey (any species)
Grasslands - move striped hyena to base game and replace with greater rhea
Tropical - move Asian water monitor to base game and replace with black howler monkey
Arid - move dromedary camel to base game and replace with Hamadryas baboon
Oceania - move North Island brown kiwi to base game and replace with Matschie's tree kangaroo

My picks are probably going to be controversial since I'm not always automatically going with the most popular picks to add to the BG, but here we go:

Deluxe, add Pygmy Hippo to BG, replace with Blackbuck
Arctic - add Arctic Wolf to BG, replace with Wolverine (the BG did not have a lot of canines)
South America - add Llama to BG, replace with Squirrel Monkey
Australia - add Red Kangaroo to BG, replace with Grey Kangaroo
Aquatic - add King Penguin to BG, replace with Mute Swan
SEA - add Babirusa to BG, replace with Malayan Tapir. I said what I said. But for alternate less snarky answer, Sulawesi Bear Cuscus
Africa - add White Rhino to BG, replace with Hamadryas Baboon
North America - add Moose to BG, replace with American Black Bear
Europe - add Alpine Ibex to BG, replace with Wild Boar
Wetlands - add Capybara to BG, replace with Shoebill
Conservation - add Przwalski's Horse to BG, replace with Northern Hairy Nosed Wombat
Twilight - add Common Wombat to BG, replace with Aye Aye
Grasslands - add Blue Wildebeest to BG, replace with Secretary Bird
Tropical - add Asian Water Monitor to BG, replace with Ocelot
Arid - add Dromedary to BG, replace with Golden Jackal
Oceania - add Little Blue Penguin to BG, replace with Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo

Notable additions to BG (or at least I think they're notable) - adding in 2 Penguins, 3 animals (including the LBP) to Oceania, and 3 animals (inlcuding King Penguin) to South America. It helps somewhat.

Notable replacements - 3 more animals from Oceania, 2 more animals from South America, and 2 more birds.
