Me seeing the Impala be the clone animal instead of a flamingo, monkey, tortoise, pheasant, or literally anything else:
DLC18 discussion and predictions

I was going off of the wiki, which includes a Zoopedia Fun Fact about them.

Seeing it like this does definitely reduce the chance of any one of these guys making it into game, not gonna give up on a duck yet. Though I will say it does make me wonder what chances any of these “mentioned in name only” animals have.
It also makes good fellows, hamadryas, and secretary even more obvious.
Alongside echidna. Dunno why people are ignoring that one as well, as I doubt it's solely the result of the soundtrack.
Good point, I wonder if it’s under any Australian animals?
Part of me is curious to see if any new words will be added, or at this point will animals only come from pre-existing words in the dictionary?
thats what got it removed from my list but its still pretty strange to include it
Just checked every Australian animal added to the roster after the Europe Pack, it's not even mentioned in the platypus entry.
So either it's because of that dang old soundtrack, or I can have some glimmer of hope for my bois.
Actually, I highly doubt it's the soundtrack, since Echidna Round is a song from the original album. In 2019. I'd put it on the same level as Goodfellow's, Hamadryas and secretary for the moment. Mamba is probably a safe bet too tbh. Boom, that's like 5 of at least 7. If this ends up leading anywhere.
I stopped hoping for any specific animals a few weeks ago and because of all of you I'm starting to dream again :') If Tree Kangaroo, Hamadryas Baboon, Secretary Bird and Echidna are on the speculation list, then I'm hoping for a very good pack overall and I'm expecting the Walrus to come too... and Palla's cat... and one NW monkey :| I'm leaving on this note otherwise I will take all of this too seriously (maybe it's too late already).
There's words in the titles of the soundtrack that aren't listed in the Dictionary, so I wouldn't think it the reason:
- Parkie's Pieces (most people names aren't included)
- Four-Legged Favourite (Leg exists)
- Jeux Doe
- Buffalo Odyssey
- Ursidae Joy (to be fair I don't think this song is used in game, it's also not English)
- Hippo Campus
- Pangolin Waltz
- The Tail That Wags the Big Dog
- Elephant Memories (Memory exists)
- You, Me & Other Animals (Reprise) [Another track I don't think is used in the game, maybe it's the loading screen transition]

All I'm hearing is potentially good news for the echidna.
With the mythology theme for PC 2 maybe echidna relates to that? (Since it is a monster and mother of monsters in greek mythology)
Would be a wild choice tbh, considering she's one of the more obscure Greek monsters.
There definetly is a medusa animatronic in the mythology theme, so there is a chance echidna might refer to that
You'd expect things like Hydra, Minotaur, Medusa, or gods like Zeus, Poseidon, Aries, even Roman counterparts like Jupiter, Mars and Venus, none of that seems to be listed in the dictionary, so one obscure god/creature is pretty out there.
