Next dlc prediction?

Yup with diving confirmed they've got the animation down (at least for one animal ha). I was thinking maybe coastal animals like seals etc would just end up floating for a bit, but this helps a lot. I don't think the DLC will be a full on fully marine pack, but something with marine related is entirely possible.
Or - if it's not this pack, maybe the next one at least. I won't be disappointed if it's not the next pack because with this update, it's got to be coming relatively soon.
Chante said the only animal who can use the underwater feeder is the Saltie, but I don't think that means it's the only one that can dive. The Gharial probably can, it just can't use that item yet, which as long as it's coming, that's fine with me for the moment.
Well, diving 100% confirmed at least in relation to a specific enrichment item linked to only the saltwater crocodile. I'd certainly like some confirmation on whether or not other animals will be able to dive, such as the polar bear, or the gharial (they said it couldn't use the feeder yet but not whether it can dive freely).
Exactly. I don't want to 'spoil the party' but diving (as in diving freely and not just attached to a specific animation related with an enrichment item) is not really confirmed yet.
The fact that there will be a status bar that will tell you if the feeder has been placed deep enough and that only one animal will be able to use it actually makes me think that it's all gonna be just a single animation.
We'll see.
What is pretty clear now is that the next DLC is bound to be aquatic.

Indeed, although if we take the giant otter as gospel, it seems like all possible aquatic will be lumped into one pack, which isn't my favoured path. I'll take what I can and be grateful for it, of course, but I had hoped that in terms of theming, flora, and fauna there is a clear enough separation between freshwater and saltwater biomes to warrant more than one pack (and I know we can't be certain it will never be revisited, but as always we can't be certain it will be, either).
I'd love the king penguin, for example, but I'll be pretty bummed out if that means we'll never get another penguin. I'd love the grey seal, but I'd love a sea lion more. Not fussed on the giant otter - would have preferred the Asian small-clawed as others have said.
We didn't see An through the end of F, so I think a California sea lion is highly likely as the fourth animal, assuming they're only doing four still
When they posted that the update is coming on the 8th of December, my initial thought was that they will announce the DLC tomorrow or sometime this week. All the DLCs so far have come with a huge update, I think it's fair to assume it will be the same this time.
Very exciting news nonetheless!

Oh yeah, no doubt a DLC announcement is forthcoming, either this week or next.
Agree, best case scenario is we get the DLC preview/clues this week and it releases on Tuesday the 8th.
Second best case is we get those next week and it releases Tuesday the 15th.
I guess worst case is we get no DLC this month but next month for sure. I would imagine it's one of the first two though.

Well, unless they deviate from their release scheduling drastically it's almost certain 1.4 and the DLC will be out on the same day. That's how it's been since the start, after all.
Good point and that's likely the case. Just preparing myself for the possibility that there won't be news this week, even if there likely will be. After this year (in general not PZ) I've learned to temper my expectations of good things happening.
I wouldn't be surprised if it came tomorrow (which I believe would be Tuesday UK time, for me Wednesday), but IIRC the Australia Pack announcement wasn't until just before it dropped.
Yep, Australia DLC was announced on Thursday (20th August) and released the following Tuesday (25th). I'd be extremely surprised if they don't announce the next DLC this week.Was it not always Tuesday for update announcement and Thursday for the DLC announcement? But we got it on Monday this time.
Asian Small Clawed Otters are more common in zoos than any other species and would of been the better choice for Planet Zoo.
"Better" is a bit subjective imo. They're both displayed and bred in captivity so I don't really know that there is a right or wrong choice between the two. Hell, I would've been fine with a North American or European otter. If anything, it's nice to have another animal for the still-lacking South American region of the world
I get it if you don't get the appeal. And maybe prefer the Giant Otter ?
Most times they got a nice spot in the zoo (in most zoos you can't miss them)
I think a lot of people like small(er) animals, because usually they are the active ones.
Personally I prefer them over the Giant Otter because I really want animals with small habitat needs.
When I said better, I meant better than the Giant Otter and not for the rest of the spieces. Sorry, I should of clarified more. I would of love to see the American or European species as'well.
