DLC18 discussion and predictions

As much as I'm not huge on getting more cats, I like that the African leopard was partially chosen to help complete the Big 5 of Africa. That branding has a lot of modern conservation application, so it's nice seeing it fully transferred over to PZ.
I really don't get the hate for the Pallas Cat. Everyone wants some specific animal to make it into the game. There's no need to hate the ones others want sigh
Thank you. I don't understand why the Big 5 is such a big deal when that's a now outdated term and you can easily look it up and see that it refers to conservation and safari tours.
African leopard hate? I mean, I've seen YouTube comments excited about the leopard. Here's the only place I saw hate, but as stated before: we aren't the only community
 
And also the flaggs. Himalaya flags comes in a square shape not in a triangular...

The triangular ones are hung on the streets in Germany (at least where I come from) for folk festivals. For example, at our annual marksmen's festival at Pentecost, they are then stretched between the houses and the marksmen's parade then walks underneath them.

Ok everyone, sorry for the chicken scratch. But I took screenshots of the parts of the teaser image that are interesting to me. If you can’t read my awful handwriting I’ll type out the stuff below:
  1. By the Markhor in the back we see a tent shape. Some people on Reddit suggest it’s a mountain. That doesn’t look like any obvious mountain to me. Either it is mesh pieces, or likely a tent. As @Fini pointed out it looks like a circus tent and does not match a “Himalayan theme” at all. Unless there is something I am unaware of. Likewise we see enrichment items by the Markhor, and this is the first time any are seen in any promotional image also very weird.
  2. Fini beat me to the punch again, but the flags don’t match a mountain/ Himalayan theme. They use square shapes, these are very clearly triangular.
  3. Near the first markhor and below the baboons we have a bunch of weird stuff. Our first keeper even seen in promotional images for a dlc. Likewise next to the keeper is a, pumpkin? And next to that, on the other side of the tree seems to be a silhouette of another keeper. Very weird.
So I don’t know, made some very quick notes. What do you guys think?

All reasonable things by you, this dlc is making us go nuts.

The flags are definitely interesting. I think the pumpkin and second keeper shape are too vague to be anything really. The pumpkin could actually be a grazing markhor seen from the front.

Here are some zoomed in screenshots without my highlights in red. So you guys can draw your own conclusions.
 
I agree it looks a little odd. The ears are too high and small, the head is too "flat" and the look on its face seems "forced-grumpy" but in a human way. But we have had this with other cats, too and maybe it's just the angle. I really don't complain. I'm happy we got it!
I wouldn't worry yet. The animals always turn out different when we see them in game. I bet they've done a great job with it. I can't wait to see what funny expressions they've animated for it!
 
The flags are definitely interesting. I think the pumpkin and second keeper shape are too vague to be anything really. The pumpkin could actually be a grazing markhor seen from the front.
A sheep eating grass with its head down?
could the pumpkin be a deer? looks like one to me.
It could be anything, my thing though is you can see there is a gaps in the image. So it made me wonder if they are feathers?

It also can be a ruminant from the front, the only thing is that’s it’s a weird shape and appears to have only one horn if that’s the case.
 
Is there hate? I love that we are getting the Palla's cat!!

I just hope that face gets fixed though 😬 or well I'll wait for the remasters just like with the sand cat.
I hate it and I am not ashamed of it. They are so uncannny valley and ugly to me, I dont know why. 😅 As for the pick itself, I would be more content if we were not getting two cats in one batch…I hope there are two birds or two monkeys to make up for it, but I know there are not. 🥲
 
We need to stop manifesting the chiru into existence I will actually cry if we get two useless Asian antelopes before the blackbuck.

Anyway I love the Pallas cat! They are my favourite cats in real life!
