What are your thoughts on listing a combined total for the two tree kangaroos, similar to the leopards? The difference between the two is relatively slight, and combined they'd presently end up placing tied for 10th place, which suggests much more significant interest than their separated totals would.

This isn't an objection, but I guess the fact that the two tree kangaroos are different species and the leopards aren't might count for something. I mean, personally I'd take either (though I don't see them as essential, hence their absence from my list).
Edit: In fact I'm more particular about what leopard I want than I am about the tree kangaroo.
True, I've seen them too. Again a debatable animal, I know. But as I said earlier I guide myself by the principle of flexibility: as long as there is a substantial amount of people that think it could potentially be a habitat animal (if it's reasonable, of course), I'm not the one who will say otherwise. And based on the previous meta-wishlist thread, ~20 people thought so.
It's a similar debate with iguanas tbh. Quite some people think it could also be a habitat animal, and it is reasonable because, like alligator turtles, in some (or many) zoos they're indeed kept in bigger ceiling-free exhibits or terrariums.
As a fun fact, modders even took ingame exhibit iguanas and made then habitat animals
That is indeed the reason.This isn't an objection, but I guess the fact that the two tree kangaroos are different species and the leopards aren't might count for something. I mean, personally I'd take either (though I don't see them as essential, hence their absence from my list).

I acknowledge the fact that people (including me) might be more particular about leopards than about tree kangaroos. I even separated the leopards in the first meta-wishlist thread, but then some other people questioned whether they should be all combined.
As I wrote in the OP, animal species is the preferred category because this way each animal is "treated" equally and it's scientifically accurate.

I think these kinds of threads give insight beyond the top 10, that is why I care about variety in lists. But each to their own I guess..
If they don't do something about the fact that animals need a depth of at least 4m to dive, alligator snapping turtles are going to be ridiculous as habitat animals.
They spend most of the time laying at the bottom of a water body, but no zoo would ever give them a depth of 4m. So either we have to give them ridiculous huge water areas (even in sandbox), or otherwise they will never behave just a tiny bit accurate.
