Only 2??... i’d add the Tasmanian Devil (which I don’t think you included?) and the Eastern Grey Kangaroo (as long as it was walkthrough) but would be happy to pay for lots more.... Numbat would be another I’d LOVE

Here are a few more to add to your list:

Tree Kangaroos
Quokka
Wombat


It's hard to choose any kind od marsupial, but I guess I'd choose the following 2:

1. Tasmanian Devil (because it's a nice animal and in desperate need of attention)
2. Tree Kangaroo (any species will do)

I've made my push for having the Common Wombat in the game fairly heavily, so them for sure. Any other species of Wombat instead is fine, that's the most "common" so to speak, I just want a Wombat species in the game.

Tasmanian Devil and Grey Kangaroos as well. After that I think I'm fine with the marsupial representation, as the only other Australian animal I'd really want is the Platypus, which of course is not a marsupial.

But if I had to choose just two? Common Wombat and Tasmanian Devil, if only because we do at least have one kangaroo already.

One or two of the American possums might be good too, you've got the classic Virginia opossum and there's also the wonderfully weird water opossum. Lots of other species too.

The Sulawesi Bear Cuscus is also interesting, being probably largest among the few "Asian" marsupials (all of them are possums). It's about 60cm long, including the tail.

To me Bennett's wallabies is a must have for a zoo game.
They are very common in captivity. You find them in both big zoos and small private owned parks. Great for walk-through enclosures. Great for mixed species enclosures with other kangaroos/wallabies.

You see them in Australian themed areas, but also often in a more random setting, where they fill out empty space.

A really useful species, even though it might not be the most interesting compared to other marsupials.

Is it ironic that I've literally never seen one? I do live in Australia, but outside their native range. In the local zoo we've got some Tammar wallabies, which are pretty closely related.

Why are so many People saying Possum when they mean Opossum? It drives me mad. THEY ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ANIMALS!!!
Also want to say that the Water Opossum is absolutely beautiful

The thing is, the american ones are where the term possum actually comes from, if anything the australasian ones should be called something else. The reason for it being flipped on it's head is due to only having one species in most of the English speaking Americas.
