Nice list, out of all these animals I'm mostly suprised by the Tigon.. (if this is true)

If these animals are present in the game, they did a great job with selecting the animals.

Tigon images have associated text strings in the files, but appear to have placeholders.

Where is the emu, anteater and crane from? Did I miss something? Really hyped for these<33

The emu is due to there being Oceanic grassland plants, the Japanese crane is due to associated decorations, and the anteater I just threw in due to its popularity, ease of using the aardvark rig, and something to go into the leaked Brazilian scenario map.

Leaked? Are you talking about the biomes developer journal which revealed the tropical biome, or is there something I missed?

Great Job ! But why is the emperor penguin there ? And what dlc you think frontier will add ?
Click to expand...
Emperor penguin decor was found, and the presence of Antarctic foliage means at least 1 Antarctic animal is in the game.
As for DLC, I imagine it'll be smaller continent-based packs (As opposed to large expansions), but I'm really hoping for extinct Holocene DLC (ex. dodos, mammoths, sloth lemurs).

This seems like a safe bet! Now add beavers, koalas, meerkats, platypus, capybara, and sloths.... and you have some underrepresented but equally famous animals covered! And maybe moose? Contrary wise, I'm thinking of making a "lesser known animals" list, of certain species that would be fun for Frontier to include in DLC. They could introduce players to species they'd never even heard of before!

A couple of species from Amazon rainforest are pretty much safe bet.

Firstly they hinted specifically Amazon in their diary and second Amazon is to popular to not have their representation in the game from the start. Jaguar is most likely, but I could easily see some few of them like sloths and anteaters.

I do happen to want anteaters, but their addition wasn't just me going off a whim. There are legitimate reasons why they could be be in beyond "because I want it".
They're also featured in several zoos, so the "in zoos or bust" crowd has their rationale as well.

Just a suggestion but it might be a good idea to separate the list into categories according to whether they come from data mining, suggested by decorations or just speculation.

Do you know what the name of the decor was and/or where it was found? I don't remember seeing any penguin decor ingame or in the datamine.
