I bet the American Flamingo will look so good compared to the Greater Flamingo based on how good the swan was and how far the art has come along since launch. Not like an animal I was personally waiting for but now I am excited to see it and build a pretty pond for it.
DLC 19 Speculation
- Thread starter USzoofan42
- Start date
Oh man we could actually get a cottontail. Lagomorph anyone? I think its the only thing that would make me feel okay if the coati isnt one of the other picks. Although I expect I am in the tiny minority with that!
Yeah i was totally thinking about that. If not the mara, a cottontail or lagomorph of some kind also fits the aesthetic presented so far.
I guess I feel about a bunny the way some people do about ducks. Think of the endless mod opportunities...
& the cute factor is not lost on this chika
I wouldn’t mind a desert cottontail, but i am not a huge fan.
I think it's okay, there is no way this is not an Americas pack of some kind and those drawings are heavily styalised
Rhea FTW
This pack seems… okay. Great theme, bad execution. As usual with Frontier.
The Rhea and Saki are great choices, and the American Flamingo (whilst a clone) is still an amazing animal to have and is my personal favourite. But WHY oh why the Coyote? Nobody asked for that. And the Bighorn Sheep is just a whole new level of lazy.
Save this pack. Give us any Coati and a Roseate Spoonbill for the last two slots, and that gives us something to be excited for.

Christ if they give us a rabbit I'll throw my toys out of the cot. American black bear would also be a huge bummer. I'd sooner see another lynx added than that.
I was never pumped for the Americas though. I'm very glad we're getting another monkey but besides monkeys and maybe some vague desire for the agouti I'm pretty much done with the western hemisphere and far more interested in continued expansion of the Asian and African rosters. Besides New World monkeys every animal I still want belongs to the Old World (serval, waterbuck, blackbuck, muntjac, Eurasian wildcat, raccoon dog, so on). Hopefully this isn't the final DLC, in the end.
Edit: Anyway, given the amount of clones here one thing can be said for certain - the gap in time is not because they're putting their all into it, but because they're putting what they have into it. Despite the lackluster response to PC2 it's clear PZ is not a priority any longer. They've always done clones but they must have known they couldn't get away with it for a LatAm pack, so what's the solution? Expand it to North America - good excuse to throw in another wolf-like dog and a slightly altered Dall sheep.
I'm not sure what would 'save' this pack for me - at this point, maybe another New World monkey to go along with the saki. The mara is fine, but it's just close to what I actually want (agouti).

This is a good point. This roster is relatively flexible and will either have synergy with existing biomes/sections/animals or will be a fun replacement (e.g., a different flamingo of higher quality than the base game one).
This would exponentially increase my excitement for the pack!
I should also mention that Mexico/Central American-inspired scenery pieces are such a W? Can't wait to see what kind of stuff we get aside from what's in the teaser image
The scenery in this pack has a lot of potential! Not just the intended theming either. There's potential for it to work well alongside Barnyard for some "Wild West" theming (e.g., mine carts/shafts). And then there's the generic desert houses, decor for Mexelente, and maybe even children's zoo stuff...
My running theory is that the scenery is centered around Mexico/Central America and therefore they went with the coyote in the key art. So something like the coati, mara, ocelot, or whatever it might be would have seemed out of place.
I'm down for whatever coati they might want to throw our way! (And I really hope it's in the mix because that would really ramp up excitement!)
Hotels would be great! As would new guest enrichment items. But I'd honestly settle for straight-forward, low hanging fruit type things... Null text signs. Smaller font pieces. Adding flexicolor to base game items. Null exhibit walls. That sort of stuff.
I’m betting on one these choices for the final 2 animals:
•Coati (any)
•Patagonian Mara
•American Black Bear
•Ocelot
• Tamandua
•Greater Roadrunner

I have a gut feeling that this isn't the last DLC, for a variety of reasons
1) The dictionary leaks (purely speculation and not based on anything)
2) Planet Zoo is still doing very well
3) They would need at least 1 more dlc if they wanted to make a console dlc bundle with this pack

CULPEO MAKES MUCH MORE SENSE
It isn’t. Why do people make comments like these…
They literally confirmed it’s a coyote in the stream.
When.
I recommend you fact-check someone, as I saw someone earlier say "they said it was coyote!"
Ears much more bigger then the size, leg is much more bigger then the one in cover art
any animal is a good animal
