Good question! I would also like to extend this question for challenge mode, as it is only mode I play. Would be a shame if we would not get the new biome for all modes.

That is one beautiful tree. I want one for my garden
Agreed, I would love one too, for now I'm just extremely glad and grateful that Frontier included it into the game, can't wait to use it.
Hope this week & weekend fly by so we can get to Tuesday as fast...as...possible! There is a lot of silence from Frontier after yesterdays news. I wonder if this is just the calm before the storm, or if a DLC announcement will in fact not take place, I hope this is not the case. I wonder if their time frames have been delayed in any way due to the virus, I understand they are working from home, so it would be unfortunate if this the case. Many companies where their workforce was actually relocated home, have in fact being much more productive working from there. I will keep my fingers crossed and hope that this was the case with Frontier.
You are correct, it is an interesting marketing strategy, since here in North America most industries usually believe that the longer their product is being talked about and hyped up before release the greater interest it peaks. They seem to have a different school of thought when it comes to this, and so far it seems it has work for them. Did the arctic DLC also release the same day as the free update, I somehow do not recall.

If there's a free update and a DLC they are released on the same day, yes

Yes it has!
Do you think you could add Melanism as well as all these leucistic animals, it's more common in nature as it provides good natural camouflage compared to albino or leucistic animals. even to the point that there's examples in nature of melanistic animals effectively pushing out the original morphs. A good example being Varanus beccarii or the Black Tree Monitor, which started as a green tree monito but the melanistic morphs were more successful to the point there's no longer any Green Tree Monitors on the same island.
Melanism is particularly notable in reptiles, Nile monitor would be a good in game animal to display Melanism. A good none reptile example already exist in the game in the Black Jaguar, Melanistic Lions would also be a good example of an in game animal that could display melanism. Another well known example not in the game but hopefully will be would be a melanistic or Black Indian or African Leopard.
Seems they have already implemented how the color will be displayed ingame
(it says; light brown fur with white stripes)
Edit: Checked my red pandas in the tradecentre. They had the same thing, and some of them said "bright red", other "dark red" and some "orange red". So far they still all look the same when placing them in a habitat
One last Edit: I really like the fact that they are changing the colors of existing animals in your tradecentre <3 I really do hope that means existing animals in your zoo's will get the same treatment, as I can't seem to find any indication of what color variation an animals have outside of the tradecentre

That's awesome, @Arrakai!! I'm loading my game right now to check which other species have variants in the name. How exciting that it even applies to red pandas and nyala! I feel like Frontier have really gone all out, above and beyond with this - I was one of the people pioneering for colour variations (i.e. yelling about it), and this is not just what I was hoping for, but so much more than I had anticipated. The Planet Zoo team keep proving that they don't simply give us a quick fix for what we want, they really put a lot of passion and effort into giving the community quality content.
That's absolutely great. I need to check my Llamas, Apes and some other Animals later.Seems they have already implemented how the color will be displayed ingame

No.
Show me a single Picture of a completely black Lion that wasn't changed in Photoshop or a similar Software. There's only one known Case of a Lion that was partially melanistic
Hmm... for me, nothing changed yet
It's only showing in Franchise mode at the moment.
I checked every species and I only found 17 with no new variations (or at least, none yet - they could still be rolling them out or updating them). Of those, there are maybe 5 animals I would have thought would have variations, but those might still come yet. I'm also wondering if some bigger inclusions could come on release, rather than being written in now.
Absolutely amazed by how many animals have variations, and how many most species have! I can't wait to see them in game, it's going to be phenomenal!
Still have my fingers crossed for black wolves, king cheetahs and tabby bengals, since I haven't seen them written in yet.
Side note: I have no idea how programming works - how is Frontier adding new things into the game without my game having any updates? Is it through the server? So curious...

Somehow they also seem to have fixed the Problem that Llamas can't jump without a Update
