Great: Lar gibbon, fossa, red river hog, porcupine, addax, dromedary
Good: Black rhino, sand cat, dama gazelle, peccary
Fine: Wild ass, Tasmanian devil, kiwi
Questionable: Water monitor, quokka, little blue penguin
Disappointing: literally every exhibit species this year

I think 2023 has been the game's weakest year, which to an extent is simply the natural outcome of nothing left being able to compare with the absolutely essential bangers of prior years such as kangaroos, penguins, otters, meerkats, capybaras, sea lions, and leopards. Still, this year's list does manage to come out top heavy, with higher highs than lows, but I still can't help but have a negative opinion of the year overall. It's probably a mix of continuous "so close"s regarding South America, monkeys, and my top 5 species (tree kangaroos missed out twice!), as well as the last two packs being my personal least favorite (Oceania) and probably the community's overall least favorite (Arid) leading to extended weird vibes. There's a lot of opportunities for our winter pack to turn things around and end on a high note, though, so I'm optimistic. As long as it's not polar/tundra/taiga themed, all of the other commonly discussed themes (mountains, temperate, South America, probably Eurasia as long as it's less Eur- and more -asia) all sound fantastic. Here's hoping!

I blame tropical and arid, Oceania was good.

Like tropical is not bad per se but it's just a really boring pack: a theme that was requested by annoying people back when SEA released, a lizard that swims and a monkey most of the community lost interest in after the siamang. How thrilling. Still not a terrible pack but definitely not something incredible.

And then arid which is arid lol

  • Matschie's tree kangaroo, Hamadryas baboon, rock hyrax - I don't see them fitting the vibe they'd probably go for with such a pack, unfortunately, so they share a slot
  • Sichuan takin - thankfully feels very likely
  • Pallas's cat - also highly likely
  • Spectacled bear - could see this one going either way, but tbh it's not even my most wanted bear and on some days it's my third most wanted
  • Aoudad - preferable to the markhor (which I'm also fine with), but I can't see it making it in before either the markhor or takin and three goats in one pack seems like a very tall order

But the Lar Gibbon really was a logical pick. Frontier reused nearly Always a new rig. And I still wanted the Lar Gibbon. It also looks very different compared to the Siamang with Different sounds and is much more colorful. People Here want to have a third Otter or another Brown Bear. Surely there could be reasons to Not want a second Gibbon but I really do not See a problem with a second Gibbon. And I say it again. After the Siamang was added I was up to 95 per Cent Sure the Lar Gibbon will come sooner or later.

1. Muskox (I know not likely for this pack, but technically it lives in mountains too.)
2. European Bison (same for this one. Has better fitting themes, but it still lives in mountain ranges. I just find it more appealing than any other mountain animals.)
3. Domestic Yak
4. Gelada
5. Wolverine
