What are our 4 species? Saiga, buffalo, and what else?
DLC20 Discussion (maybe, but why not?)

Titan beetles and African leopards I think
The lack of a new Season Pass kinda signifies the end is near.
Pure African leopards should be held at some African facilities and at Columbus Zoo, possibly Fort Worth.
Why would they make a new seasons pass? That was only to port over the 16 DLCs - they're not gonna make a pass for 10+ more mystery packs, that would be ridiculous. If we do keep getting more, they are probably gonna keep doing bundles like Barnyard and Zookeeper.
You don’t even know what’s in it yet. Calm down.
Who crapped in your cornflakes? We can only solidly tell what two of the seven animals are, neither of which are pointless clones, and we don't even know the pack's theme. Don't be so quick jumping to conclusions.
I just can't get over how weird a choice the Sri Lankan elephant is. Like Frontier, an India Pack already has the opportunity for multiple "clones" the community actually wants (Asiatic lion, fishing cat, ungulates galore). Like, as far as more unique animals go, I'm pretty sure most of us are good with the badger, macaque, and a pheasant or crane. I mean, we have Asian elephants that are explicitly the Indian subspecies. South Asia is more than fine in the elephant department! I obviously think it's amazing that we are still getting DLC for this game, and I appreciate the work that goes in. I'm just super confused lol
Someone from the ZT3 days must still be there, happy that they can continue their reign of clone terror
Yo does anyone see that rodent looking thing near the lion tailed macaque. That doesn't look like a baby macaque at all. Indian Giant Squirrel?
I did thought first time I saw the art that the baby had a bit of a "snout" on it, but it's just a silhouette, it could still be (it most likely is) a little macaque at a weird angle.
Otherwise it would be weird having two silhouette animals "interacting" in background, I don't think we've had it before.
It's not completely baseless, I'll give you that. If someone handed me just cropped picture of it and asked me to guess of which animal is that silhouette of, I would've never guessed "baby macaque".
huh that hasnt made into zootierliste yet even with all their questionable zoo choices.
saiga is kept in one european facility
the 2 that have never been kept are
- wild water buffalo (though this was just corrected by someone else)
- titan beetle
no longer kept are
- ussuri dhole
- goliath frog
I havent had the opportunity to go through all the invertebrates yet so there might be more im missing the forest scorpion seems like a likely candidate.
If we are being pedantic there are actually more than 4.
- proboscis monkey, king penguin are only kept at a species level but both are the type species and dominate populations
- hill radnor sheep has no records but just about every other sheep breed is kept
- american standard donkey has no holdings I am certain these are kept somewhere as generic donkeys
Honestly, I think it has more to do with their size and lack of flexibility than anything else. There's a few exhibit species I love but because the exhibit boxes are huge, customization is limited, and any customization you can do beyond ticking the boxes isn't even functional... I usually don't bother.
The heavy-hitters would probably help but I'd imagine people would get bored with them pretty quickly too.
Almost definitely. And I'm still kinda convinced the final roster for the Zookeeper pack was changed as a result.
My prediction:
Honey Badger(Of Course)
Liontail Macaque(Of Course)
Sri Lanken Elephant(I hope it's a more broad Asian pack and we get the Sumatran Elephant instead[the word "Sumatran" is in the Planco dictionary and isn't used yet])
Asiatic Lion
Reeve's Muntjac(could have more Interspecies enrichment bonus animals than any other Asian animal if added.)
Blackbuck
Bar headed Goose or Black Stork
Honey Badger(Of Course)
Liontail Macaque(Of Course)
Sri Lanken Elephant(I hope it's a more broad Asian pack and we get the Sumatran Elephant instead[the word "Sumatran" is in the Planco dictionary and isn't used yet])
Asiatic Lion
Reeve's Muntjac(could have more Interspecies enrichment bonus animals than any other Asian animal if added.)
Blackbuck
Bar headed Goose or Black Stork
You're most likely correct
Hey
that's actually interesting
I don't think it bears thinking about yet, console catches up in July, so this might be the finale, I'd wait until there's confirmation of more in the 2nd post release stream.
If they were planning to alternate again, Americas likely would've been a traditional Scenery pack.
The Elephant is a 1/3 of being Greater India, the others shown are Indian, and the architecture doesn't seem to match SEA (It's dubious on being Indian, but thick cylindrical columns don't seem a thing for SEA much at all).
Could be generic Asia, but there's a a third of the meta list to choose from, so elephants are an even weirder choice. Could be Indomalaya, but it's not really brought up as a term much. Could be Rainforest/Jungle, but all of them being Asian is quite the coincidence.
The Dictionary still doesn't have terms for the Zookeeper's or Americas pack species, so it's not that informative, apart from thinking about stuff from Sumatra at some point.Hey
