Ok, yeah the Bird fans are actually getting shot right now. The community asked for primates, so they said "sure, you can have two primates." But NO BIRDS!!!!
DLC18 discussion and predictions
- Thread starter Leaf Productions
- Start date
South American and Bird Fans are actually getting shot and destroyed of all hopes and dreams after this news.
Yeah thanks you don't need to constantly remind me that lol i'm feeling it
If not being removed means they're not in the upcoming pack, then we'd be down to five known animals given Goodfellow and echidna are also both still in the dictionary.
God the wait is particularly agonising this time - my excitement for the next pack hinges a lot on either the tree roo or echidna being included (I'd be happy even if only one makes it, both would be incredible), but now their inclusion seems more uncertain than ever. Some words being removed could be significant, but it also could not be, we'll just have to wait and see!
I can't wait for 2 years without a tree kangaroo
The Sifaka and Dik-dik don't have the expected person name to go with them is the thing.
Technically there's Crowned & Golden-crowned Sifakas, and Silver and Salt's Dik-diks, but they aren't species that are mentioned much or at all, with none even on the 2024 Metawishlist, though Crowned Sifaka got suggested once on the 2023 one (Crowned Sifaka does pop up in a few threads & Silver Dik-dik got mentioned on the Small Mammal Meta-Wishlist)
As to the deleted terms situation, looking at DeLadysigner & Leaf's videos, they only mention the Hamadryas Baboon, Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo and Secretary Bird, and the PZ version of the dictionary, so it seems like the traction on Reddit or here that'd be the reason for removing it (it is a week since Leaf's video, and since the PC2 version was posted on reddit)
As to why it was removed, there's potentially reason to if it's real, but there's also reason to remove what's not coming, and get's people excited/angry. Goodfellow, Echidna, Howe and Impala are pretty specific to not remove.
I'd lean towards it being real, as taking the time to generate fake names doesn't seem like a very Frontier move (although there was misdirection for the JWE2 Secret species pack with their twitter posts). Real doesn't mean that it's coming of course, just means it was considered, and probably isn't a complete list of terms they've made.
Barnacle and Mythology are on the PZ version now and weren't before, so I think it's safe to say the dictionaries are currently identical.

Ok but no its not.
Echidna can still refer to the song, therefore 7 animals.
Again, so many of the songs have missing terms, that it seems an unlikely reason for inclusion.
Echidna being a Greek mythogical figure is more plausible, but again there's basically nothing else, asides from the now removed Hamadryas.

I don't think this is the case, I don't see why they would finally add echidna to the dictionary over 4 years after the soundtrack released, and many other PZ tracks also have words that aren't in the dictionary. If it's not in the next pack, it was most likely a scrapped animal from the Oceania Pack I reckon.
It's interesting actually how all of the hinted-at animals seem to fit well into last year's packs - I'd say the fact that a bunch of them were added now rather than back with the first batch in April probably makes it less likely that they're scrapped content (even more so after being removed), but it's still a possibility.
Tropical - sifaka
Arid - Hamadryas baboon, secretary bird, dik-dik, spurred tortoise, even the black mamba
Oceania - Goodfellow's tree kangaroo, short-beaked echidna
Eurasia - markhor
Also, at least a second bird, please.
That does make me wonder if these are considered animals, and were added simply due to being on a list for the dictionary. Maybe some were removed because people were getting the wrong idea? Or maybe these are the guys coming? (I need to be real, they are probably what’s coming lol)
I wonder if we started making a stink about the word macaw if we could get it removed.
No matter what the roster ends up being, or if it's the last DLC, it was always great reading these guessing threads. Feels weird that this might be the last one, and we only have probably a few days left. Although once the final update comes out and mods don't need to be updated all the time, I feel they will begin to fill the niches that official animals didn't do.
Imagine if Macaw ends up being the exhibit animal, and the only SA animal, that would truly be something.
I am going to release a video about a Zookeeper collection pack concept vid tomorrow because I am too lazy to type
Hamadryas is gone from the PZ dictionary if I'm not mistaken. Goodfellow, secretary, and echidna are still there though.
Also, from what I can tell when looking at archived versions of the dictionary site, echidna was added in the same update as Goodfellow, secretary, and hamadryas. So I would say it probably isn't related to the song. Dang, I can't wait for the pack reveal, because I'm so curious how relevant all this dictionary stuff is to the pack.

I’m just really confused right now and don’t know what to think. There’s reason to remove those terms in all directions. Deleting so as not to spoil the surprise, deleting so as not to get people’s hopes up about things that aren’t coming, possible that something will be an anniversary animal, not deleting certain words to make it an unreliable guessing tool, etc.
I really just give up on speculation at this point. LOL. Because it’s also weird that it’s everything new plus Hamadryas.
If I don’t get my tree ‘roo I’m gonna be crazy bummed.

I actually just asked Leaf to update his spurred tortoise mod. Yeah, I would love a new habitat tortoise!!!All these cool animals and I am weirdly most excited about the possibility of getting the African Spurred Tortoise.
Still hoping for a Coati at least.
There are 13 animals missing from 200, if Frontier adds them they will also accept that South America is reserved for the second version of the game, BUT Coati is now a must have
That roster is just perfect!
