DLC18 discussion and predictions

My prediction atm! The community has been screaming for a tree kangaroo, I swear if we don't get it in Highlands I'm just going to stop hoping for it. They're the opportunity for so much diversity with this theme so I really hope we don't get an arid situation. Selfishly I want the François's langur, but I know it has no chance to make it in. I just love building subtropical coniferous mountain habitats (specific I know, but they're so pretty. These langur specificly live on limestone cliffs and recreating that would be really cool. But spectacled bears could fill that niche for me. Another thought, I saw someone mentioned us getting another rock set with this update, I think that would be awesome, especially if they were faux rocks. I hope we get an Asian reptile as the exhibit animal.

Highlands/Mountains/Alpine Animal Pack
1. Pallas's Cat
2. Hamadryas Baboon
3. Markhor
4. Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo
5. Spectacled Bear
6. Rocky Mountain Elk
7. Rock Hyrax/Alpine Marmot (hope it isn't)
8. Exhibit reptile🤞/amphibian

Also, I'm so happy for @Britches I saw Pallas's cats for the first time this summer and fell in love! Definitely my favorite small cat. With them I feel like our cat roster is pretty solid. Wouldn't complain about the ocelot though (don't come for me)

Also, all that fretting about the sifaka for nothing, or at least for know lol

Where did you see it? They are not that common in the east coast (New England right?)

Francois langur would be such a great choice, id bet that after waiting 5 years for the 5. Monkey we wont be getting the 6. At the same time sadly
 
I mean technically they aren't in the same group so maybe just maybe? I know its a heavy dose of copium but this would be so cool to have in the same pack. Gotta admit I am just ever so slightly disappointed we got the hamadryas instead of gelada, especially if the theme is highlands.

It's too close, although it's be fun. But it's like getting a tanuki and a coyote in the same DLC
 
I really can't overstate how exhibit I am for this pack so far, but the lack of South American rainforest animals does still sting.

Yep, can't think of any facilities in the Northeast that have them. I was in the Michigan for the summer and saw them at Potter Park in Lansing and the foot and face of one scrunched in a rock crevice at Brookfield. 😂

I love potter park zoo! I personally prefer John ball and Detroit though.

I'm glad someone agrees! I wish we got them or ebony langurs in Southeast Asia, but I think a langur has no chance against the proboscis monkey.

I interned at John Ball this summer! Love that place to pieces and can't wait for them to grow. Keepers there are awesome. I visited Detroit and love it there! A lot of walking but definitely worth it! One of the keepers at John Ball knew keepers at potter and I was able to go there and meet their okapi, bongos and see the rhino holding/barn! It was so cool!

Arent snubnose monkeys langurs aswell?
 
treeroobros we're still in the race

This was definitely some unexpected news to come back to after work! Overall the roster for the upcoming pack we have been shown for far isn't super exciting to me - markhor and Pallas cat are two species that never really interested me personally (immediately thought of the reaction @Britches would be having though and that made me smile, I'm so happy for you!), while the Hamadryas baboon is a very necessary addition and one I will use but not an animal I particularly like otherwise. However, there's definitely a lot of potential for a highland/mountains animal pack beyond what we have been shown so far, so I'm cautiously optimistic! Just give me one of my mountain macropods (rock-wallaby or tree roo), pretty please?

The African leopard is the African leopard, boy oh boy I do love having 7 of the 5 Panthera species in Planet Zoo. Obviously you can't complain too much about a free animal but there are plenty of animals that would have been just as easy to make but add far more. Happy for those who have been waiting for them though, and I'll probably still end up using them as a superior substitute for the Sri Lankan leopard (the leopard subspecies in Aus zoos) in unmodded builds.
 
Arent snubnose monkeys langurs aswell?
Oh, I didn't know that! Just looked it up and I didn't realize so many old wold monkeys are technically classified are langurs. I guess i mean specifically members of genus
Trachypithecus (spectacled, François's, ebony to be specific species wise)
