I got one animal in 2021, seven in 2022 and five in 2023, none this year.
Had some time to kill so I made this little graphic depicting each of my metawishlist animals that made it into the game. I'm so glad to have each and every one of them (and of course, the devil most of all):

Essential%20Wishlist%20Animals.png


Also kinda funny how, looking back, Wetlands, Grasslands and Oceania each gave me a trio of animals from my wishlist. This means that, of the 13 species from my list that made it into the game, nine of them came in just three packs, out of the whopping 12 DLCs that have been announced I posted my original list back in June of 2021. No wonder all three are among my favourite DLCs!

What an amazing thing, 18 of your 20 animal whislist are part of the game now!! You are near to completed
I just went for a mix between my favourite animals and what an employee at Frontier would add to please the majority of players 😆
Looking at my list now i'm surprised that the Sloth Bear arrived in the game before the Musk Ox, but i really hope to see my last two added before they stop supporting the game with dlcs.🤞
 
1. Tasmanian Devil
2. Roloway monkey
3. Alpine Ibex
4. European fallow deer
5. Skunk
6. African Civet
7. Papua monitor
8. Rhinoceros Iguana (i want it as a habitat animal as the biggest iguana, not much smaller than a nile monitor and could even lay the groundwork for the iguanas to become both exhibit and habitat animals)
9. Chamois
10. Capybara
11. racoon
12. red fox
13. sea lion
14. good fellows tree kangaroo
15. lynx
16. Emperor Tamarin
17. wild Turkey
18. Wild Boar
19. pot bellied pig
20. Lady Amherst's pheasant

Wild and old list, but hey i might not agree with ex me anymore (i wanted a skunk but no duck?!) but hey only means my taste improved

1. Tasmanian Devil ☆
2. Roloway monkey ¿
3. Alpine Ibex ☆
4. European fallow deer ♡
5. Skunk ☆
6. African Civet ?
7. Papua monitor ¿
8. Rhinoceros Iguana (i want it as a habitat animal as the biggest iguana, not much smaller than a nile monitor and could even lay the groundwork for the iguanas to become both exhibit and habitat animals)
9. Chamois ¿
10. Capybara ☆
11. racoon ♡
12. red fox ☆
13. sea lion ☆
14. good fellows tree kangaroo
15. lynx ☆
16. Emperor Tamarin
17. wild Turkey ¿
18. Wild Boar ☆
19. pot bellied pig
20. Lady Amherst's pheasant ¿

10 out of 20 is a good call, with the 8 stars and 2 hearts making it into the game in this very noteably pre NA pack list, as 3/4 animals from europe and twilight were on this list. In addition i marked the fallow and racoon with a heart as 2 of my favorite additions to the game.

I also marked 5 animals with ¿ as animals i still like but wouldnt choose for a current wishlist, either due to redundancy due to current additions (chamois) or other similar options being prefered by now (lace > papua monitor rip urmel).
The only animal id completly cut as no interest anymore is the african civet, which i liked at the time but just is kind of whatever of an oddball pack. The fact that africas small animal non monkey or birds roster is pretty great by now also doesnt help its case.
So we got 10 i wanted, 5 id phase out for, 1 miss and 4 id still want, not the worst way to go
 
I’ve never tried doing this before, but I will throw my hat in the ring
  1. Black rhino
  2. Golden Lion Tamarin
  3. African crested porcupine
  4. African Spurred Tortoise
  5. Shoebill
  6. Secretary Bird
  7. Kiwi
  8. Mallard duck (any duck really)
  9. Mute swan
  10. Southern Ground Hornbill
  11. Whooping crane
  12. Golden pheasant
  13. Grey crowned crane
  14. Capercaillie
  15. Burrowing owl
  16. Wild Turkey
  17. Himalayan Monal
  18. Congo Peafowl
  19. Atlantic Puffin
  20. American Flamingo
  21. Southern Rockhopper Penguin
  22. Nene
  23. Red legged seriema
  24. White Stork
  25. Brown Pelican
I got 5, which I guess it could be worse and I got none. I’ve always wanted ducks but you can see overtime how much more essential they became to me. It is funny that besides the new world monkey the only other two mammals on my list made it into the game.

And of the 21 birds on my list only two were chosen oh my God that is so painful.
 
I must admit, it's very difficult to narrow down all the animals you would like down to just twenty species; this is my current wishlist although obviously some species will change from one day to the next:

1. Yellow-throated marten
2. Ocellated turkey
3. Owston's civet
4. Striped hyaena
5. Southern ground hornbill
6. Wolf's mona monkey
7. South African springhare
8. Dalmatian pelican
9. Fishing cat
10. Eurasian red squirrel
11. Grey crowned crane
12. Hawaiian goose
13. Vietnamese sika deer
14. Iberian lynx
15. Victoria crowned pigeon
16. Coquerel's sifaka
17. Red river hog
18. Northern helmeted curassow
19. Gelada
20. Marbled polecat
Here are my additional five species:

21. Bar headed goose
22. Roulroul partridge
23. Golden bellied mangabey
24. Giant Asian pond turtle
25. Bukharan deer
So, of my original 25 options (some of which are, in hindsight, really weird and not stuff I would really choose today), I got just three - the striped hyaena, Coquerel's sifaka and red river hog. Honestly, if I had got the yellow-throated marten, I would have missed basically none of the other species.

Got 10 from my original list, and that's only because I semi-cheated with putting both leopards. Was hoping they'd add some more walking birds and unique antelopes. I knew cetaceans was wishful thinking but figured the American black bear was a near-lock, oof.
