Friendly reminder that lots of today's animals have evolved way before many late Pleistocene animals went extinct. Late Pleistocene extinctions are recent extinctions, they lived with today's animals and completed what's left of today's ecosystems.
A Case for The Extinct: Why Making Woolly Mammoths DLC Won't Ruin Planet Zoo

To me Planet Zoo is about teaching us about animals that are alive now and close to extinction and how zoos are trying to save them and add them back into the wild , Not about animals that have died away already and no longer able to be bred and saved from extinction , The basis to me for this game is a reality zoo and how it looks after current animals not a futuristic cloning centre ( which is what would be needed to bring back extinct animals )
I can understand some people want to bring extinct animals back into the game but not me .
But if they did decide to make a dlc like that then i wouldn't throw a tantrum , i just wouldn't buy it

I didn't read every single reply but I'm honestly extremely surprised how vehement some people are against an extinction DLC? Like... If you don't want that in your game... Then don't buy it? People are allowed to want this, in the end it's up to the developers anyway to choose what they want to create so why get upset that some people are hoping for extinct animals. Especially when you consider there's species of say lions that are now extinct.
Personally, I don't like the idea of Extinct DLC, not when you talk about Pleistocene etc.
To me, it changes the complete feel of the game.
But if people are waiting for such a feature, they should definately make/buy this kind of DLC.
Games should be about fun and if they have more fun playing with extinct DLC, good for them !
Some DLC in zoo games just don't work for me.
I used to play ZT and ZT2 complete/ultimate collection
And in my steam library I still have Wildlife Park 2 ultimate (Farm/Dino/Fantasy/Horses/Marine World/Crazy Zoo/Domestic)
haven't played it in years, but it was a summer deal back then
Too much DLC is no fun at all, you'll need a very organized menu/UI.
The only packs I really liked were the Marine based ones, and just extra animals/plants/rides (non-extinct animals)
Farm/Domestic/fantasy were IMO the worst.. Don't expect a Dino DLC for this game
Personally I would like to see continent-based DLC or critically endangered animals DLC.

Depends how it's organized, DLC nowadays seems to be more of adding into what's already there, rather than adding in new stuff like old expansion packs did (if that makes sense).
But I agree. I love buying Sims DLCs when they come out, but then I end up with way too much to do in the games and panic because I'm not doing any of it xD So yeah, popping out a ton of DLC for players isn't always the best idea.
Did get me thinking though I wonder how optimized the game will be to handle any extra DLC. I remember Sims 3 in particular being so poorly optimized, that no matter what kind of computer you had, chances were your game would lag because it couldn't handle all the extra content.
what about animals that went extinct in are life time such as this.

I want those animals.
1 year late, but if we ever get an extinct pack here's my list:
1. Dodo
2. Thylacine
3. Wooly Mammoth
4. Jefferson's Ground Sloth
5. Saber-tooth Cat (Smilodon Fatalis)
6. Glyptodon (Glyptodon clavipes)
7. Golden Toad

Yes, please if that will happen we need cloning like it was in the original Wildlife Park (but not only for the first Animal but for all of a Extinct Species instead of being able to just buy them after)
I personally prefer no prehistoric animals. Not that I don’t like them or find them interesting it’s just there are so many modern animals we still need I’d rather fill slots with them. I’d rather have a petting zoo type dlc as well as whale and dolphin content in comparison. I get the whole it’s a game thing and I agree but to me prehistoric animals are a wasted slot and dlc.
Even though I would like extinct Animals (Animals that went extinct in modern Times + maybe the Woolly Mammoth), I would also like to see more Petting Zoo Animals and a Marine Pack first.
Maybe they could do it similar to the Wild Creatures Expansion for the original Wildlife Park. One big last DLC at the End of the Games Lifetime with extinct Animals but also lots of Animals that are still alive, so it has something for every Player
To be perfectly honest, I consider any animal that went extinct in the last 20.000 years or so 'recently extinct', because they were alive with the animals that are still alive today and completed our ecosystems.
I don't think I responded in this thread yet, so: I 100% support an extinct animal DLC.
Personally I would be very interested in extinct animals that went recently extinct, but I am not interested in animals that went extinct much longer ago, like dinosaurs.
As other people have pointed out, there are plenty of species that are now critically endangered and that will die out within the next decades. If I played this game in 10 years, it's very possible I'd be playing with 'extinct animals' that are still alive today... So I for one don't understand that rigid stance against extinct animals, because the separation between extinct and extant feels so very arbitrary to me.
