I used Canva! What do you think about the packs though?
For Central America pack, Ring-tailed Coati is not the Central America species, you rather change to White-nosed Coati. I don't think we need another Neotropical otter since we already have Giant Otter in the game, personally would prefer Northern Tamandua instead.
For Outback pack, Dwarf Cassowary and Crocodile Monitor are not Australian species, they are endemic to New Guinea so don't fit with the title. Greater Bilby and Perentie may be better.
For Coastal pack, I would change the Magellanic Penguin to the Sea Otter

Thanks very much for the advice, working on changing it now. Also since the otter is not in the base game that is why I thought of adding it. Exotic Outback Pack I agree! And for the coastal pack I think it would be a good idea to swap this.

Not a bad set of ideas. I’m not asking you to change anything, but here’s how I’d personally do the animal lineups for the packs:

Exhibit Pack (I’ll give this one four more because the animals are so small and often barely move.):
  • Parson’s Chameleon
  • Leaf-Tailed Gecko
  • Emerald Tree Boa
  • Frilled Lizard
  • Naked Mole Rat
  • King Cobra
  • Tiger Salamander
  • Caiman Lizard
  • Radiated Tortoise
  • Reticulated Python
  • Black Mamba
  • Lined Seahorse
Outback Pack:
  • Short-Beaked Echidna
  • Matschie’s or Goodfellow’s Tree Kangaroo
  • Perentie
  • Greater Bilby
  • Yellow-Footed Rock Wallaby
  • Brushtail Possum
  • Tiger Quoll
  • WE: Budgies or Lorikeets
Coastal Pack:
  • West Indian Manatee
  • Green Sea Turtle
  • Pacific Walrus
  • Sea Otter
  • Exhibit: Leafy or Weedy Sea Dragon
Central America Pack:
  • Mantled Howler Monkey (Alternative: Geoffroy’s Spider Monkey)
  • Kinkajou
  • Ocelot
  • Tamandua
  • Coatimundi
  • Andean Porcupine
  • Central American Agouti (Alternative: Lowland Paca)
  • WE: Macaws
Now here are some other pack ideas that I can propose:

Woodlands Scenery Pack:
  • Scenery Theme: Rustic or Native American
  • Roosevelt Elk
  • American Black Bear
  • Coyote
  • Virginia Opossum
  • Exhibit: Eastern Mud Turtle
Safari Animal Pack:
  • Honey Badger
  • Secretary Bird
  • Angolan Colobus
  • Coquerel’s Sifaka
  • African Spurred Tortoise
  • Impala
  • Black-Backed Jackal
  • Exhibit: Boomslang
Islands Animal Pack:
  • Aye-Aye (Madagascar)
  • Galápogos Fur Seal (Galápogos Islands)
  • Tanuki (Japan)
  • Visayan Warty Pig (Philippines)
  • Common Spotted Cuscus (Papua New Guinea)
  • Highland Cattle (British Isles)
  • Lowland Anoa (Sulawesi)
  • Celebes Crested Macaque (Sulawesi)
  • Exhibit: Galápogos Land Iguana (Galápogos Islands) (Provided that we still get exhibit expansions)
Highlands Scenery Pack:
  • Scenery Theme: Himalayan
  • Yak
  • Pallas’s Cat
  • Rock Hyrax
  • Gelada
  • Exhibit: Boreal Toad
 
I cannot believe the game will end without a chameleon and Emerald Tree Boa/Green Tree Python. 😭 Such an iconic terrarium species.
 
The Frontier doesn't care what exhibit species are demanded by the players
Truth, most players don't care about what exhibit species are demanded by players as well.

Although a Cobra should is a huge omission. I mean, we have building pieces for it. The game runs on the Cobra engine. It's an iconic snake (I can't believe I'm calling any standard exhibit iconic but there you go). It would likely add an additional species to the subcontinent of India (depending on the species). Win, Win, Win, Win.
 
Maybe but the cobra and the chameleon have been the only two with a large claim for a long time. I don't think that has gone unnoticed.
We only have about one DLC left but we neither have Cobra nor Chameleon in the game, I think the Frontier definitively knows that Cobra and Chameleons are in demand, they just don't care. The Frontier often has odd favor, like they offer two Caimans rather than much more demanded Nile Crocodile
 
If you can afford the upgrade and don't mind playing planet zoo with a controller, yeah why not. The ps5 is a big upgrade to the ps4 .
I bought the PS5 two days ago and played Planet Coaster on it and its running smoothly, I already pre ordered the Deluxe Edition, thus if there is any pack you guys recommend I should buy on console please respond. My favorite packs are Wetlands, North America, Africa. What are yours?
