Are we really discussing highlighters as a hint? 
Winter 2023 DLC Speculation
- Thread starter Leaf Productions
- Start date
I prefer the weirder animals to the common ones they stand out more and make the pack and game feel unique
2 thirds of an average zoo collection is already present in the game, I only have to rely on an average of 20 mods to fill the gaps for my recreation projects.
Oh I sure hope not... a bison reskin over one of the most unique and requested caprids? That would be hugely anticlimactic.
yes someone thought they were kazoosAre we really discussing highlighters as a hint?
Yeah, I swear they were kazoos when I watched it live on a tv across the room from me
Finally weighing in on the animal choices so far:
Takin - It's been my most wanted animal since the base game, it's my favorite animal IRL! This is the best animal of the pack!! (If it's the Wisent, Imma riot!)
Wolverine - Another animal that Iv'e been wanting for quite some time, so I'm really happy for it
Saiga - I actually quite like this pick. Even though it has almost no presence in captivity, I absolutely love the Saiga and cannot wait to see what Frontier does with them.
Sloth Bear - A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. One of my favorite bear species, so I'm glad to it make it into the game.
I'm really liking this pack so far, can't wait to see what the other animals will be!

I also thought this when I first saw them.Yeah, I swear they were kazoos when I watched it live on a tv across the room from me
Sorry, but the sloth bear is just uncommon, but not unrealistic. Zootierliste lists 8 zoos, so it's assumable that there are even more. Saiga is only in two on Zootierliste.
Unrealistic are those that don't do well in captivity.
Funny, I never considered them uncommon since I’ve seen them a few times in real life. To me, they are very worthy zoo animals!
Saiga has a pretty great conservation record, and is very visually unique as an antelope. It's not in a lot of zoos but I really don't think frontier pits much stock in that
The pack is basically a palete of browns so far. A golden pheasant or a mandarin duck could save this.
Or you know who
TBH none of the animals teased seem to be in the complexity level of the porcupine or any other more unique animals so makes me wonder if they are hiding something. Maybe we will finally get our first waterfowl.
It seems to be in consideration...sometimes? The whole Grasslands Animal Pack felt like a nod in that direction, especially the wallaby and emu.
I love them, but yeah, really not common. Within the EAZA half of the zoos that keep them are in germany.
yeah that is ultimately how I feel with this pack where is the wow factor nothing seems to difficult or costly to make did all of that go to giftshops probably not
I am so keen to see this fuzzball, it's so fluffy! It stands out to me because of that
I think the same could be said about the sun bear, both bears are relatively uncommon in captivity but oddly enough the sun bear is perceived as a suitable animal unlike the sloth bear.
Idk if i look at Zootierlistes Top 25 common zoo animals we got 9 of them ingame, alot of them rather recently also.
That is about a 3rd
Well yeah but most of the most common animals in the captivity are either birds (we know the situation in that front) or boring ungulates. So is better this way i guess lol
