DLC18 discussion and predictions

Nope, there still dozens of Iconic Animals. It's just not popular in your region, like the average american wouldn't know the Golden Snub-Nosed Monkey or Coati Existed.
Not trying to sound rude or anything but you said it exactly in your post. The keyword is AMERICAN. So much of the game’s audience is from the US and China. Which both of those zoos lack some animals zoo nerds all know (Walrus, Musk Ox, Shoebill, Secretary Bird).

I am "AMERICAN", Europe is also a massive playerbase with a good few in Africa, South America and Oceania
 
Frontier is a British studio, so the animal choices are naturally going to swing to what's more common in nearby facilities. Regardless of where you're from, this is a reality of the roster-building process.
I'm America and I know what other regions zoo's own. It is not that hard, this is like saying "I'm too lazy to research about other regional animals and zoos, so I'm gonna stick with the zoo down the road."
 
South Asia has honestly gotten kind of hard, I guess blackbuck, nilgai, grey laungur... fishing cat? gaur? chital? honey badger?? Us getting the sloth bear and some others over the year means the blackbuck feels like the last big omission here.

East Asia I think would have a lot more support, something like this would be popular and make sense:
  1. Raccoon Dog (Canine fans finally get something again, also throws a bone to Japan)
  2. Reeves' Muntjac (Finally a small deer that can be mixed with lots of other animals)
  3. Pere David's Deer (a more "typical" deer for Asia that is also Extinct in the Wild and is semi aquatic)
  4. Japanese Serow (another ungulate sure but a true Japan endemic)
  5. Golden Snub-Nosed Monkey (Controversial as always but with how important it is for Chinese zoos it would be a kind of wild omission here)
  6. Mandarin Duck (The most popular duck that everyone seems to be craving for)
  7. Golden Pheasant (Two birds? Yes but in this scenario it works I think since the pheasant wouldn't be too difficult)
  8. Chinese Giant Salamander (fun big exhibit animal, I know some want it as habitat but honestly I really don't think it would work)

I NEED THIS PACK.

Birds aside the muntjac and peere David’s deer would be perfect for me.
 
Might as well throw in leopard seals since the first 3 animals are barely in captivity :p
Last spot could go to something like muskrats, never hurts to have more rodents.
Your say this ironically but compared to diversity and captivity rates we are quite low on rodents with only 4. Also leopard seal is my most wanted animal at the moment
