1. Coyote
2. Elk (any subspecies is fine with me)
3. Moose
4. African Leopard
5. Red Fox
6. Badger (either European or American)
7. Hedgehog (would that be considered too small?)
8. Musk Ox
9. Ocean Sunfish
10. Any duck
11. Any goose
12. Mongolian Wild Horse
13. Honey Badger
14. Porcupine (any species would be fine)
15. Mara
16. Steller's Sealion
17. Sea Otter
18. Cougar
19. Arctic Fox
20. Prairie Dog
Excluding aviary and full marine animals, my list would include:
1. Eurasian Lynx
2. North American Beaver
3. Maned Wolf
4. Capybara
5. Przewalski's Wild Horse
6. California Sea Lion
7. A Leopard (subspecies whichever they include, no real preference)
8. Walrus
9. Small-clawed Otter
10. A Porcupine (preference for Indian Crested, but ultimately no real preference)
I think there's about 50 non-aviary animals I'd like to see one day. I'm already quite happy with the roster as is, barring some notable exceptions (basically my first 10 picks, plus possibly the Moose).
At this point, I'm most excited about a possible Aviary DLC/expansion. There's only a few full marine animals I'd like to see featured at some point, and I don't think their absence is critical to my enjoyment of the game.
My list of animals I want to see. And thanks for taking your time to go through these lists!
1. Sloths
2. Sea Cows
3. Leontopithecus chrysomelas
4. Pangolins
5. Dolphins
6. California Sea lion
7. eurasian lynx
8. Cougar
9. porcupine
10. Platypus
11. Emu
12. racoon
13. Coati
14. Honey Badger
15. Moose
16. Black howler monkey
17. spider monkey
18. Little blue penguin
19. De Brazza Monkey
20. Giant armadillo
Haha... yes my local zoo doesn't have them and I prefer the Mara, because they roam the zoo freely together with peafowls. However of course I wouldn't mind the Capybara
After roughly half a year, and following the requests made by numerous forum users, I'm setting up this thread in order to start another 'Essential animals meta-wishlist' where I record users' animals wishlists and put them all together on a meta-wishlist. Given that we've gotten 3 DLCs since I started the previous thread; this time around I ask you all to please post a list of just 20 habitat animals.
The more people participating, the bigger the sample size will be so better conclusions can be drawn. I’m writting down every user who posts their list in order to avoid having repetitions. I intend to keep this updated as much as I can. Last update: 16th June, 2021
The spirit and basic rules of the thread will be similar to those of the first one. Which means:
For the sake of keeping the same wishlist structure, I ask you to post your 20 essential habitat animals that you’d like to see in the game. Lists with anything above 20 animals will be discarded.
Exhibit animals will be omitted from the main meta-wishlist. Exhibit animals include arthropods, amphibians, small reptiles (< iguanas), small fish and mouse-size mammals.
Flying birds and bats usually housed in aviaries will be omitted from the main meta-wishlist. Flying aviary birds include birds of prey, parrots, Columbiformes (pigeons), Passeriformes (small birds), Charadriiformes (gulls) and so on. Mainly ground-dwelling or semi-aquatic birds (mainly Waterfowl, Galliformes, Ratites, Pelecaniformes, Penguins, etc.) will be added to the list.
As a general rule of thumb, animal species is the preferred category for animal submissions. Subspecies from already in-game animals are also accepted. Subspecies from animals that are not in-game will automatically be allocated to the superior species category. Specific domestic animals breeds are also accepted.
To simplify data collection, those answers that include several species in one slot (eg.: 1. Any species of sloth) will be automatically treated as a single animal and added to the most requested species inside that generic animal group (eg. in this case: Brown-Throated Three-Toed Sloth). This obviously leads to an underestimation of the total key requested animals.
As you can see, a total of 251 animals have been considered 'essential' by at least one forum user.
TL;DR: Post your 20 essential habitat animals wishlist here. I will record each wishlist and add it to the Meta-list. Aviary and exhibit animals won’t be taken into consideration.
