Winter 2023 DLC Speculation

Nope! But, like somebody said yesterday, it kinda helps to further identify what it probably won't be and it could definitely influence speculation for the spring DLC.
Particularly if it's the peccary it, to me at least, it means that:
- A highlands pack or something more "temperate" is still pretty likely for December
- Most Latin America speculation rosters are going to change. It also makes it a bit more likely we'll get something more "South America"-centered than the broader region, and it arguably increases the odds that they could go full arboreal instead (as the peccary was probably the most commonly requested ground critter from that region)...

If you play it slowly, I think this is gonna be a Collared Peccary for sure! the dark black, blueish color, this could definitely be a peccarySource: https://twitter.com/PlanetZooGame/status/1719731572062990742?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

Bro, I swer if it's a collared peccary I might be the happiest man alive. If I wanted 3 animals since the launching of the game, they are one macaw species, the greater rhea and then the peccary boy. They are in my local zoo bro, If it's the peccary, I will be able to fit them in my zoo after 4 years 
If it's a Wild Boar, I won't be happy.
I’d be fine with a wild boar
Don’t worry. It’s more likely a peccary. I keep theorizing that because we got a European animal last year, we’d get something from a different continent.
I'd be fine with any piggy. Buuuuuuut, what if it's the Southern Pudu? They have similar hooves to the one seen in the video.
Any swine is a win. They're one of my favourite animal groups irl each one is so distinct from the other, I will never dislike any pig we get. But if the spots are numbered and only a couple can squeeze through....
I didn't see that. Yep, not a pudu, but a piggy!
people keep saying this I wonder if they will do an animal for each of the continents and that could mean 3-4 more years of support wishful thinking I know.
Year one - they added another lemur (easy clone)
Year two - they added an animal from Europe, base game did not have any iconic European animals
Year three - they are gonna add an animal from North/South America, base game did not have any iconic South American animals
And your conclusion from that is: they are adding one animal for each continent now, despite that support would require 8 years for that (not even the most optimistic people expect that), rather than just... they are using anniversary updates to round up the base game roster a bit filling the empty spots? Because I think that is pretty much the intention here...
If you paid attention to who I was replying to they are the one who brought up the idea of frontier going to each continent but honestly my response was not supposed to be taken seriously we may have the game for that long we may not but the idea of frontier going through each continent was just a fun little not serious theoretical idea
also is the bairds tapir not an iconic south american animal.
and you are 100% right it is likely the are just filling out empty spaces in the base game.
Well they’ve added an Eurasian, African (technically 2) and American animal (assuming peccary). That leaves only 2 continents.
Tapirs as a whole are but Baird's is more Central American, it only extends into a small area of northwestern SA. The Brazilian tapir (which is also known simply as the South American tapir) is the more iconic species for the continent.
The collared peccary would give us a base game habitat animal that extends far deeper into South America (covering over half the continent) rather than just living on the fringes.
