DLC18 discussion and predictions

I'm sorry, but these are the worst things ever. The spurred tortoise worked in ZT2 as a regular animal and it'll work the same in PlanZo
The anaconda can fit perfectly in the exhibit box and people saying they're too small aren't realizing that at the Houston Zoo we have 3 reticulated pythons in a room roughly the same size
Over here the exhibit is smaller than what the law dictates as the minimum requirement for a pair.
So dramaticly speaking Frontier would be promoting illegal husbandry.
And after being part of the reptile keeping hobby for years now i know that not everyone has these guidelines set by the government, and that in NA the recommend tank size for reptiles is quite a bit smaller than over here, especially for large snakes.
But really, this is planet zoo, the make your animals happy by building the perfect habitats game, the build the zoo of your dream game, and for them to throw two of these huge animals into what is essentially a jail cell compare the entire rest of the animal roster would look just incredibly out of place

Any animals associated with them?

I'm just thinking something else... All three animals are representations of chinese Zodiac animals: markhor is a goat, Palla's cat is a cat and the baboon is a monkey (although what a wasted chance for the GSNM if this is the case 😂).

12 animals in chinese calendar, 12 animals in the DLC

So this confirms we will get our third tiger 😂😂
Ohh I like this idea, it's quite out of the box!

So we would get a Shetland pony then (horse)? 😃 And some kind of snake (cobra?), some kind of dragon (bearded dragon?) a dog (bush dog?) but also ANOTHER tiger? Another pig too (kune kune?) and a rooster (no idea what kind) Very interesting! 😄
 
I can’t wait for all of us to be wrong and they name it something that actually does fit with the art we’re just not thinking of it lol
F'real.

What's interesting is that when you remove the animals? It gives off forest vibes. Celebration if you focus on the scenery too. The zookeeper doesn't help things. If they just revealed the animals names? Highlands. Evolution could work too, honestly.

Throw in the fact that this pack has decidedly different artwork than other animal packs. It's similar but just different enough. You see more of the baboons than a straight silhouette. Again with the keeper, etc. I'm pretty convinced it's a different artist, though, so all that means nothing too.

Would the term ‘Steppe Animal Pack’ be more applicable? I’m not well versed on these definitions!

Maybe? I did some quick searching and both the Hamadryas baboon and secretary bird would be covered. As would the Pallas's cat. And the markhor.

I don't think it's as easily recognizable as the other things we've been throwing about but... The animals would readily fit. And it would match the picture just as well, TBH.

EDIT: Selfishly, I don't want this to be the case because it would rule out the tree kangaroo. LOL
 
Chinese Calendar Animal pack:
Rat - Patagonian Mara
Ox - Musk Ox
Tiger - Sumatran Tiger
Rabbit - European Rabbit
Dragon - Frilled Dragon
Snake - Black Mamba
Horse - Shetland Pony
Goat - Markhor
Monkey - Hamadrya's Baboon
Rooster - Red Junglefowl
Dog - Bush Dog
Pig- Kune kune
Two things: Where’s the Pallas Cat
Why black mamba

Let's do this in Frontier fashion ways:

Horse - another zebra or another donkey (kiang or onager maybe)
Dog - another fox
Tiger - Sumatran tiger
Pig - second peccary species
Rooster - Green peafowl
Dragon - Nile crocodile or third caimán
Snake - the mamba that no one asked for
Rat - just a rat
Rabbit - rabbit

Now for what i would like for a concept like this:

Horse - honestly don't need another zebra or another donkey (specially not another donkey) but i can do with Shetland pony.
Dog - Bush dog
Tiger - maybe the african leopard is meant to represent the tiger. We don't need any more Big cats, but if i have to pick another cat for this i would go ocelot.
Pig - same as horse don't need other pig, but if we are to get one then i rather get something like the visayan warty pig that is very different from anything else.
Rooster - Golden pheasant for the win
Dragón - Perentie or Argentinian black and White tegu.
Snake - cobra duh
Rat - patagonian mara
Rabbit - Arctic hare

Now the baboon is locked already but honestly the GSNM would be perfect for this or a NWM.
 
I would actually be so frustrated with that, even if it’s all animals I like. Come on Frontier, at the least be Wetlands or Grasslands!
This pack if it's true is looking pretty diverse right now:
  • Hamadrya's Baboon
  • Kirk's Dik-Dik
  • Palla's Cat
  • Markhor
  • Sifaka
  • African Spurred Tortoise
  • Secretary Bird
  • Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo
  • Short-Beaked Echidna
[OPEN SLOT] {This needs to be for Walrus, we have 0 aquatic animals in this pack and its a stable, I have been begging for this champ}
[OPEN SLOT] {This has to be obviously be for South Coatimundi/Greater Rhea man, South America needs it NOW!}
[OPEN SLOT] [E] [This is super obvious, its either King Cobra, Chameleon or Lord Howe Stick Insect...]
