🐨 Planet Zoo: Australia Pack coming 25 August, 2020 🐨

SUPER EXCITED FRONTIER - about this pack :) This already brilliant game is going to be even more brilliant after this update.
The red earth and rocks are so cool and indicative of where I live on the sunshine Coast, the soil is only a little browner here, due to the area being a volcanic red and a little browner. The plants for the DLC look so accurate - I think I spotted a Leopard Tree in the photos somewhere - they are beautiful :)

So thanks for honoring my native land and so excited to see this DLC. The preview is incredible BTW - regards G

I'm happy they included a cassowary instead of an emu. Cassowaries are more interesting to me.
Love the entire pack except the skink, but I guess it's impossible to please everybody with every pack. I am SO GLAD they included an exhibit animal, though! I just would have preferred something other than that particular skink. If they'd included a bearded dragon or thorny devil as well, that would have been great.
I hope there will be an Australia Pack 2 some day.
 
I too really like the cassowary. It really wouldn’t have mattered to me between the emu or cassowary. I remember seeing a tv show featuring behind the scenes at San Diego Zoo and they were talking to the keeper in charge of their cassowaries and she was saying they’re amazing animals. The dingo has really grown on me since seeing the screenshot and I’m looking forward to seeing them in game. I don’t know if I’ll use it much simply because I use different animals in different zoos based on climate and type of zoo I’m going for. I will definitely use them on occasion tho and really enjoy having the option for them.
 
Let's stay on track in this thread, please. We have no problem at all with hearing your opinions on the pack, and we always welcome hearing your feedback, but this is about the Planet Zoo: Australia Pack announce :) 🐨

Also, I can't wait to show the Southern Cassowary, I think they're the Dall Sheep of this pack - the unsung heroes! They're really cool looking! I don't think I've ever seen one before.

As an aussie, I can tell you they are quite fascinating and elusive. I have only met them in zoos but they tend to avoid direct contact and their enclosures are very dense like a rainforest to suit their elusive behaviour. Their boom call is very interesting.

In addition, I got the fortunate opportunity to see a taxidermied foot of a cassowary at an SVP convention, and their third claw is like a death spear! The people at the stand mentioned that the animal they taxidermied had a hole through it's chest bone, which was the exact shape and size of the claw of another cassowary which impaled it. Really neat!
 
The dingo looks absolutely beautiful! :love: As always, wonderful job from the modeling and texturing team. Those eyes have so much life in them.

I'm really looking forward to hearing all the sounds the new animals make, as well. The audio team has really done fantastic work for the rest of the cast, so I expect no less from this DLC. :D
 
The new DLC looks absolutely amazing! As a fellow Aussie I am super excited for this pack in particular!

I wasn't very hopeful about koalas making it in, but what a nice surprise Frontier has made! I really hope we get a new education board with this pack on the effects of climate change on wildfires. Would be fitting for an Australia DLC.
 
I hope the cassowary sits down like this:

I'm not completely sure but I think I've heard once that Dingos where one of the Reasons why the Thylacine went extinct that early on Mainland Australia

Thylacine was wiped out by humans, uncontrolled excessive hunting lead to their extinction :( there was even bounties placed on them, they were accused of killing livestock though it’s thought these claims are exaggerated.

I wrote ,,one of the Reasons". They just weren't that common on Mainland Australia because of the Dingos and that made it easier to wipe them out
