DLC 19 Speculation

I've heard before that deer just arent common zoo animals in the US, a shame for you guys we have quite a lot here and I always enjoy seeing them. Especially when I was at Berlin there was a great variety between both zoos.

I always found the backyard/roadkill argument funny, I think out of the three species I have seen as roadkill the most in the UK - two are in game - European Badger and Red Fox... (and I quite like that we have them in game) The unlucky loser being the European Hedgehog which would be cool but also is probably borderline whether it would work as a habitat species.
 
I’m always surprised at how much deer are in Eurasian zoos as someone who hardly ever sees them.
Im gonna visit tierpark berlin this week, they have like 12 species i think. Some uber rare ones aswell, but rare hoofstock is also kinda that zoos specialty.

-Altai maral
-Barbary deer
-Barashinga
-Bawean deer
-Burmese brow-antlered deer
-Common hog deer
-Indian sambar
-Jarvan rusa
-Pere davids deer
-Vietnamese sika deer
-Thorolds deer

Like thats an absurd amount of deer species for one zoo, definetly a must visit for every deer nut out there haha :D

Edit: Nvm, the list actually goes on, as i only checked for true deer. So add the following ontop of that:
-Eurasian moose
-Forest reindeer
-Tufted deer
-Musk deer

Marvin when he sets foot in the park after hearing about all the deer species he could see:
 
So how would you all round out the deer roster then? Within reason ofcourse.

While im personally not really dying for more i can agree that there objectively should be more than we have now.
I think 2-3 could bring them up to a good spot. One for NA like the elk and reeves muntjac together with a more classical deer for asia would round them up pretty nicely. I think id go with the sambar due to their huge range and to vary the deer up with a tropical species
I think i would pick:
  • Pudu
  • Muntjac
  • Elk

I would love a fourth deer from Asia. There are a lot of asian species that i would like. Pérez David deer being the most unique i Guess but an indian deer like chital would be amazing as well.

I hope the next pack revisits India.
 
Oh, I am a bit envy, cause I also want to visit Tierpark Berlin, but from Austria its just soo far. As a huge ungulate fan, I really have to go there some day.
I think with 2 major zoos in one city and an standalone aquarium ontop of that, berlin is for sure worth a little trip. Especially since leipzig the arguably best zoo in the country isnt far from there either, so you can do a little detour there too
 
So, an Indian Pack huh? Would definitely good, but I can't think about 7 species spontaneous. Ofc, Nilgai, Blackbuck, Axisdeer, Langur and Honey Badger, but more, I don't know.
But I like the idea, especially since we have a Indian building set, but not that much Indian species

Edit: I forgot about the Gaur and lion tailed Macaque- Okay, this would be 7 animals, that would all be very nice an their own, but all in one pack, I guess the variety of animals would not be big enough.
