Winter 2023 DLC Speculation

Haha imagine if "discover" turns out to be a safari pack.


  • African leopard
  • hamadryas baboon
  • secretary bird
  • Nile crocodile
  • golden jackal
  • African spurred tortoise
  • serval
  • black mamba



Would you be mad? I like the animals but I feel like I'd be mad
Yes I would be mad. The very mention of the african leopard, an exhibit box snake and the severe lack of any cold animals would make for a disappointing end of the year.
 
So you’re asking if I would like to go from Africa taking 50% of my zoo to 70% with 8 more animals. It’s hard to say no to that lol. Secretary bird is almost at the level of hype I have for the gelada, so getting it would be 🔥

I want all of them at some point, but not this year as I think we have had enough African animals this year with one dlc focused on it. This next dlc ought to give attention to parts of the world that haven’t gotten enough attention this year.
 
Yeah but if we talking about Mountain Pack don't you think it would be more cool to have variation of not just the typical alpine mountains that you think about, and then you have much more of the desert mountains or hills. and also the Spectacled Bear it's environment is not Alpine. so i think variations of mountains in the mountain pack is much more cooler and interesting.


but it's cool to have variation and not all from the same biome and the same type of mountains, so in my opinion inclusion of Spectacled Bear and Hamadryas Baboon is much more interesting than Gelada and American Black Bear or something like that but that is my opinion.

Before throwing out assumptions, please educate yourself on the animal in question, if its just one its really not hard to skim a wikipedia article.

I would choose it over the hamadryas for a few reasons, but mainly that unlike the hamadryas the gelada is completly endemic to mountain ranges, only found atleast 1,800 meters over sealevel. While most baboons are omnivores the gelada for the most part is a grazer, something completly unique for primates. They have been slowly but surly expanding in the EAZA, especally after they agreed to phase out animals like the hamadryas baboons who dont need the protection in favor of more vulnerable species, like the endemic gelada.
For the game, theyd finally fill the open baboon role with a very visually distinct member, leaving the door open for others to join at a later point. Theyd also help to fill the east african gap, which has quite a few endemic species but only the wild donkey currently in the game, which would be a nice treat. They also just look really cool

Since there is alot of talk about that the giftshop will be similar to the restaurant, are there any more things that could be implemeted this way?
Playgrounds are what i thought of at first, obviously without a box around them
Museums! Education Centers! ....Really hoping we end up with an exhibit overhaul too (null walls, different sizes, etc.). Imagine a checkout counter to the gift shop having a small animal inside of it, or educational displays with various critters (bees & honey production, leaf cutter ants, etc.).

Because of this I'm leaning towards the animals being domestic or common in educational settings - but could be VERY wrong because there also looks to be a giant bear stuffed animal in the far left window (Andean bear??)
