This is kind of funny because it exaggerates the American-centric view and tries to make it out as unique. North America has more megafauna than South America, Europe, Oceania, the Middle East, North Africa and East Asia. It's only really behind sub-Saharan Africa and South/Southeast Asia. We all have our 'local roadkill' species too but don't complain. But my lord when that racoon and that skunk were released. It was like the apocalypse had arrived....
200 plants and some much neded animals for the game, id buy this in a heartbeat.
id want a eurasian birch species so much, theres a lot of trees from all over we could use, i ofthen feel some areas animals i always use the same ahdnfull of plants/trees.
It's super interesting to read the reactions to this pack. Especially some of the American centric views, contrasting with views like mine (European). I always feel like European animals are somehow unimportant. For instance, the American bison is the go-to bison species, not the Wisent. Bighorn sheep, not Mouflon. Wapiti, not red deer. Like that. So I am extremely happy that in PZ we are actually getting European wildlife! It is absolutely amazing.
Wild boar may be pests in some parts of the world, but in Eurasia they are a forest staple and historically important in many cultures. I think with this pack, the European wildlife is as good as done. The only wants I would have now are smaller animals such as the red squirrel and brown hare. And the European brown bear, but honestly I don't want another brown bear if it has to come in a DLC (the Himalayan brown bear should 100% have been a Eurasian brown bear in the base game......)
So now, I can make a European zoo with all European animals! For instance, I can make a Dutch zoo that has Red deer and Fallow deer, Red foxes and Badgers, Lynx, Swans, Wisents, Wolves, and Grey seals. That is an entire full fledged zoo right there! I never would have thought that would happen when I bought the game when it released all those years ago.I feel very grateful.
Also I very much appreciate the inclusion of the Saiga, which is not only a much needed first Asian antelope, but also a unique antelope species in and of itself of a unique lineage, and in need of conservation. I am planning to include them often, and think they would pair excellently with Przwalski horses and perhaps Bactrian camels. They've already become my favorite antelope and they're not even officially released yet!
Just wanted to post this as a positive message and major thanks to the development team at Frontier
Its whats annoys me too, and dont get me wrong, I adore american wildlife aswell, but the european versions always get put on the sidelines, especially by big creators and it always kind of hurts? like our wildlife isnt valid, only theirs. yet when american species do get in its suddenly not good.There were whole pod casts and several videos of north american content creators telling us europeans to "shut up" when it comes to european wildlife because "it is boring" and "they only have a deer, a deer and another deer." Some of them I actually considered almost friends back then but the europe hate got so "funny" to them, that I turned my back on them, because I was tired of being good enough to show support through watching and liking content and even have YT channel memberships, but not good enough to get animal wild life in a zoo game. Only one of several had the decency to apologise to me months later (which I appreciate very much) and has then changed their view on european animals and stopped the gate keeping. Because, news flash: Every continent deserves their wildlife respresented.
Or even their zoo life. In a way, the europe hate even went on with the twilight pack, because they did not want their own "road kill animals", and the fact that those are perfectly fine zoo animals for us was - again - not enough.
The europe hate also took on some ridicolous connotations back then, such as clearly believing the moose is more important to canada than it is to sweden.The arrogance knew no limits back then.
Things eased down a lot since then, but it's still visible in the Brown Bear discussion. No, it is not a way of "just using the himalayan brown bear" just as it is not "simpy using the asian black bear". I think as a community we would all profit from getting off our high horse and be happy for each other when they get animals they need for a good home zoo representation. (Doesn't mean I will advocate for, say, the snub nose monkey until we get monkey of more world wide repsresentation, but it does mean that eventually I'd be happy for others, if it were included).
That said, I do personally really enjoy NA wildlife, which makes the european hate from some NA players sting even more and why I expect more respect - I show it as well.
it looks beautifull, i wonder if theres good variants coming aswell
i hope we see atleats msot of these, they can be so lovely and varied.
this aswell.
Weak for everyone except me! I'd love some smaller animals...
I was like the pale one is beautiful! But I also like the black ones and the red one is
So, I hope we get all the wolverines! 
I actually like their fur coloring!
RIGHT! I bet we will see the sloth bear, on Monday! Since the YT video probably embargo releases on Tuesday...
They look fantastic! Still no sloth bear... they probably hiding somethingView attachment 377395

Speaking of which...it's weird this pack is coming out on a Wednesday. I wonder why.

Here's a South American Animal for you!
Never thought about using the pumpkin and carrot props and placing them inside the forage box. That's pretty coolView attachment 377395
