I would love them all (Aboreal being my favourite) but I find them all very unlikely unfortunately. Most of these have at least 3 animals that require more work than Frontier is currently willing to put in, if we look at all the easy to make animals lately.

- Start date
To bring some much needed conversation to this thread:
We better not get a second lion before we get nilgais
Worthy Frontier's pack. Although i would welcome another lion. The abscence of the honey badger and getting a crane that looks basically the same as the red crowned crane is very Frontier like.
By the looks of things the best option for the next pack would be to base it on a biome (eg Savannahs) or a lifestyle (eg Arboreal). If it were based on a location, I think India would make the most sense:
1. Asiatic Lion
2. Blackbuck
3. Hanuman Langur
4. Wild Yak (bit of a stretch but it has a small presence in India - Gaur would fit better but Yak is more visually and ecologically distinct from existing bovids in game)
5. Lion-Tailed Macaque
6. Greater Adjutant Stork
7. Asian Palm Civet
1. Asiatic Lion
2. Blackbuck
3. Hanuman Langur
4. Wild Yak (bit of a stretch but it has a small presence in India - Gaur would fit better but Yak is more visually and ecologically distinct from existing bovids in game)
5. Lion-Tailed Macaque
6. Greater Adjutant Stork
7. Asian Palm Civet
One word:
Reeve’s
Yes, but any Muntjac honestly. Indian muntjac is super cool.
They don’t live in South Asia more Southeast Asia
I mean so does the sunda gharial
I would challenge that. While we traditionally think of "South Asia" as more or less being the ex-British Raj, if we take it in a more literal sense South China should be included, which would allow for the Reeve's muntjac.
Ratel seems a little more valuable than some of these.
Having to pick the significantly less popular Muntjac also begs the question of why it's not a generic Asian Animal pack.
I would not like the inclusion of another Asian bovine with (almost) no captive presence, I really hope this won't happen. The domestic yak would be okay though. But I'd rather have the gaur, banteng or anoa if we are talking about Asian bovines.
Same for the greater adjutant stork, they are also not present in zoos outside of a few in Asia. For me demoiselle crane or sarus crane would be better options for large wading bird. Or talkong about South Asian birds in general a bar-headed goose or pheasant.
I like the rest of the animals in your idea though, the palm civet is a bit more oddball but I like them.
But I don't really think we are getting a pack next which is focusing on a specific region. Considering it is most likely the last pack I expect more of pack with a more generic theme like another Zookeeper's like pack with animals from all around the world, a biome/climate based pack (a temperate animal pack could be a realistic option) or a whole continent based pack. As we only had a South-East Asian animal pack and a Eurasian animal pack but no pack focusing on Asia in general, an Asian animal pack could work (also name wise without having too much similarity to the other packs).
Asian Animal Pack
1. Lion-tailed macaque or Hanuman languar
2. Blackbuck
3. Pere David's deer
4. Reeve's muntjac
5. Mandarin duck
6. Dalmatian pelican (hope dies last) or fishing cat
7. Raccoon dog (most realistic) or honey badger or yellow-throated marten
Don't think this would be too unrealistic, even with the pelican.

Here is how I would do an India Animal Pack:
- Asiatic Lion.
- Blackbuck.
- Indian Python [E].
- Painted Stork.
- Zebu.
- Indian Wild Ass.
- Lion Tailed Macaque.
I already did an India Animal Pack so I'm just gonna refer to that here
Reeves muntjac is better imo.
Here’s my India pack:
Nilgai
Blackbuck
Gaur/ Yak
Lion Tailed Macaque
Honey Badger
Hanuman Langur
Himalayan Monal/ Bar Headed Geese
Ex: King Cobra
No I don’t care that there’s three ungulates they’re very different from each other
Knowing frontier one of these would be Asiatic Lion and Id be sad

Yea the Cobra should be in. I’d go with King Cobra for iconic status but Indian is cool too (even though King Cobra isn’t really a Cobra but shhh it’s ok)
FWIW, nilgai are very prominent parts of Indian culture, so not having them in an India-focused DLC pack feels rather odd. They're exceptionally striking animals too
They're also found in over 100 zoos around the world, far from a niche animal.

Umm Américas pack with no coati.FWIW, nilgai are very prominent parts of Indian culture, so not having them in an India-focused DLC pack feels rather odd. They're exceptionally striking animals too

I pick the blackbuck over the nilgai because i didn't really like the nilgai that much, they are weird to me. Look like a long necked cow with a tiny head but is an antelope... And for antelopes blackbucks are My favorite so i would not leave them out. But i guess it can replace the gaur. Idc lol i think gaur are cooler though.
