Yeah and that’s been the issue with players like myself. While I’m sure the ungulates have been easier filler, I don’t think it would be too difficult to have got the American flamingo or a pheasant species like the golden pheasant. We can definitely use more options and filler for other animal groups. Now that we have the swan frontier has the opportunity to give us more waterfowl filler/options/species. The problem is if they will actually do it.
A safari pack that you said above could replace giraffe, one of the antelopes and Nile crocodile with a Patagonian mara, Some sort of baboon and of course Secretary bird or Grey-crowned Crane (I actually prefer the crane).I mean i think you can do a really nice african safari type animal pack, but imo this late into the game its definetly preferable to extent the safari them to a more general scrub/savannah theme and cover india and patagonia aswell, since they need it more then africa does ( even though there are definetly a ton of african animals id still like.
And ngl im kinda afraid they would just once again boot out all the monkeys and birds and just fill an african safari pack with giraffe, 2 antelope, cat, bat eared, nile croc and honey badger
- Patagonian Cavy
- Hamadryas Baboon
- Grey-crowned Crane
- Blackbuck
- Serval
- Bat-eared Fox
- Honey Badger
All that said, I feel like one of my favorite zoo animals of all time could be somewhat represented if a Fennec could get some sort of greyish colormorph? I really also want the Sumatran Tiger but I feel the melanistic Bengal of small size is a decent substitute...
Frontier would most likly ballance nothing and please no one besides the people that gave up on the pack anyways or just really liked a few animals subjectivly.
No matter how mid or downright bad a pack is, if you like whats in it your most likly pleased.
And if your favorites look something like american black bear, sumatran Tiger, serval, nile crocodile, american flamingo, white tailed deer, barbary macaque, random swan species, african antelope 1 + 2, congrats you might adore this ballanced pack that will make everybody else tear their hair out
It might not be that easy, for example if they give us pelicans, the beak will probably need a lot of attention especially when considering how it eats. I feel like similarly to the Saigas nose, they need to get the physics of the beak and how it moves just right so that it looks right. The pelican beak is almost like a fold of smooth plastic that when the pelican eats, it can pick up a fish with that flap folded in, then toss it up a bit into its mouth which then the flap can extend and flop around. So it needs to go from this:
To this:
Which I can imagine is pretty difficult. So while the rig of the swan can work, the head of the pelican is way more complex than the swans and would probably need some work put into it.

WTE: Aquarium tunnel with fish
What do you think?
Oh no... The next community challenge... I hope it doesn't mean we're getting an aquatic pack 2.0. Haha. I'd actually be pretty happy for the (at least some of) community though! AND it would be a good way to include new types. Hopefully some sea birds!
I would be pretty happy with that pack.
I just dont see us getting a manatee outside of an actual aquarium dlc, so id probably use its "new rig spot" for a large river turtle
And id prefer just having an aquarium as just a normal exhibit since thats a little more versatile imo
Frontier: “sea birds? Don’t know what those are. Don’t worry though! We have plenty cool animals in the coastal pack!”
The animals in the pack:
My idea:
- Great white pelican
- North America river otter / Eurasian otter
- Mallard
- Nile crocodile
- Père David’s deer
- Fishing cat
- American black bear (they catch salmon on the rivers, don't they?
- Green anaconda or any turtle
Tbh an animal I wish we get but I know for a fact we will never see happen is red-eared sliders as habitat animals. Imagine making little ponds for them or releasting a ton to a huge lake... prop turtles will have to fill that hole in my heart.
Oh look on the sea Ice! Its a big Walrus. Further south is the foraging Sea Otter. Closer to the shore welcome among the new semi-aquatic friends including the elegant Snorkel Doberman, the majestic Flipper horse, and the adorable Diving Cat. As always there is a box exhibit animal.

What is it?
I know this is a joke but honestly i can totally see frontier throwing in the north ronaldsay sheep into a coastal pack, which is an ancient breed of sheep that almost exlusively eats seaweed.
Just the oddest of oddballs and the wildest of wildcards
Has there ever really be a connection between a community challenge and the new SLC? It is talked about every time, but I can't remember it being true once
Rivers swamps and marshes are all in North and South America, Americas pack case closed lol
But seriously it’s not gonna be another pack that is a literal synonym of the wetlands pack. Maybe coastal, that was my original prediction before we knew this could be the final pack.
