Zootierliste includes sharks in German and EAZA Zoos. But you have to go by species and subspecies
A big Expansion Pack?

absolutely.
A game developer friend of mine told me that they definitely planned such things ahead of time. He said that the system required for marine animals may have been considered and added when the game is in the development stage. My friend thinks Frontier didn't enable this system just to get the game ready for release time or because there are no marine animals in the game. He says these things are planned and thought out in advance. So it's actually a logical statement. I don't think Frontier developed this game thinking that people wouldn't demand marine animals.
So if we assume that they will make these two themes as expansion pack, I think the birds will have a system like JWE. I am very sure of that. I hope they don't plan to release these expansion packs/DLCs after 3-4 years. So if they are planning to do these expansion packs, I would really want to get them in 2 years at most. We'll wait and see
patience...

I don't know if it will be a big expansion pack, but IF Frontier were to do the work of putting out a fully marine pack and all the animations and behavior to go along with it, you can bet they're not going to just release on small DLC for it. They may not do it at all. But if they do I can easily see, either a big expansion pack or, more likely a handful of separate DLCS. Same goes for flying and birds, though I think that is more likely than fully marine or fully aquatic animals. Mind you, not getting a fully marine pack would not prevent us from getting coastal animals with floating actions like otters, seals, walruses, etc, but it would probably mean that the swimming actions expected with those would not be fully developed.
Wow! a really long list. Thank you for your trouble.
I don't think they will focus on marine animals in the long run. I don't think they will put their land animals aside and release marine DLCs one after another. It wouldn't have been nice if they broadcast them at long intervals. so i see it as expansion pack /big DLC. The thing is that if Frontier wants to add a mechanic to the game, it adds it with a free update. So if a Marine expansion pack is to be released, agaın it will come out as DLC(possibly with a free update that adds marine animal mechanics to the game), but DLC it will be the size of an expansion pack(We've seen an example of this at JWE, with Return To Jurassic Park DLC being a bigger package than other DLCs, but still called DLC). So I mean, they don't like to offer new mechanics with DLC packs or expansion packs(I'm speaking for Planet Zoo).
If they were going to make an expansion pack, I hope it was Marine Mania. assuming the birds will come with an exhibition-style system, we can call it a big DLC. because I don't think there will be enough content to be called expansion pack for birds.
I repeat it again and again, I have no expectations, I am just telling my foresights.

honestly, I don't think they are going to focus on fully marine animals either. But I'm just saying if they did the work to get actual swimming mechanics and marine biomes in the game, got the various rigs and animations down, that opens up a whole list of animals they could bring in. So if they do end up doing it, which again, I don't think they will, but if they do it won't be just a pack or two like we've been getting. It's too much work for that.
In terms of underwater navigation, it has benefits for many species rather than just marine ones. It's worth doing regardless of whether or not they include marine animals.
For example, the polar bear, crocodilia, elephants, even the tigers and jaguars, are proficient divers in real-life, and adding underwater navigation would make these species far more interactive to the game. Then, in the future, we have animals such as river otters, beavers, potentially even seals, sea lions, and penguins to contend with. I'll never change my opinion that cetaceans and big aquarium animals ought to be avoided, but the concept of underwater swimming mechanics has uses far beyond that.
I notice that tiger and jaguar will not dive underwater willingly... And the jaguar diving video that I posted few days ago , I notice that is the zookeeper throw some meats into the water , then only they dive into the water to eat the meat
