Europeans are very, very disappointed with the latest DLC, North America. European fauna is completely ignored in a zoo management game, by a company that should show more consideration to the complexity of European biodiversity, especially as it operates in Europe. It is difficult to understand the contempt and such a lack of interest in the fauna of Europe. Planet Zoo players in Europe will still be unable to build their zoos!!! Sad, so so sad!
Europeans need European DLC above any else DLC!!!

Agree about mediterranean/alpine regions from Europe, they definitely deserve more representation. Eurasian Lynx, Red Deer and Alpine Ibex, possibly also European Badger would already go a long way in that regard.
That said, the NA pack includes a variety of animals that can be used to represent at least Scandinavean areas, so there has actually been immense progress on that account. We can now build European sections with grey seals, timber wolves, moose, reindeer, beavers (considering that the European subspecies is not very different from the American one), and arctic fox and polar bear for the very northern regions. So, I'm very far from disappointed with this new pack even though I've been naming a Europe DLC as one of my top priorities for the game. And let's face it, NA has been extremely lackluster in terms of representation in the game as well, so this was a highly necessary pack in itself.

I'm European and speaking for myself i am extremely happy for the North America Pack, i think that an European pack is down the line, we just have to wait a little more. 
Plus in this pack we got the Moose and the Artic Fox, and the Beaver (even if it's the American subspecies), actually it's not that bad, it's a great start for our European fauna!

I'm European and I disagree. I love the new pack, which has also increased the number of European animals. We can finally create Nordic European zoos in the game.
I agree that we need more animals which aren't from Northern Europe, and I'm convinced that we'll get a Europe Dlc next year (or Eurasian DLC).

Moose are not common in any zoo, much less the beaver, because it is very difficult to create an artificial habitat for them to meet their needs. For realism, the choice of animals made for NA DLC is a waste. The sea lion is also rarely found in zoos off the west coast of America. From any point of view, NA DLC is not a realistic one that can be found in real zoos.
As far as I can tell, most Europeans on the forums who don’t seem disappointed. Also, Europe now has more species than Oceania so you can’t really claim to be being treated with contempt.
If you compare Europe with Oceania, it seems that Europe must remain the last of interest for biodiversity. Which animals are really from Europe, în the game, considering the name of the species ?!

Non Europeans would also like a European pack. Now that North American's been done, short of some kind of game-changing pack (like Avian or fully marine animals) a European pack is the next logical place to go. I'm sure we'll get something and if not in the next pack, likely the one after that.
?
Are you asking me to name them?? If yes:
Grey wolf
Greater flamingo
Polar bear
Reindeer
Grey seal
Arctic fox
Moose
I disagree with you. In my home town they have beavers in the Zoo and I have also seen a moose in a Swedish Wildpark. Of course the Wildpark is not a classical Zoo but they can be hold.
A European DLC (perhaps also eurasian animal pack) would be nice but for now I am happy with the NA pack
Grey Wolf is Timber Wolf, în the game, not an european species. Polar bear, Reindeer, Grey seal, Arctic Fox, Moose are on the extrem North of Europe and not iconic species from Europe to find în any european zoo.
Grey wolf is Canis lupus - look at the distribution map. For some reason they thought timber wolf sounded cooler but every other piece of information demonstrated that it is a generic grey wolf. What animals you think are iconic depends where you’re from. Scandinavians think moose and many of those other species are iconically European. grey seals are found as far south as France.

Europe is underrepresented, but so is the middle east, western asia, non-tropical south america, and oceania, all regions which are currently less well represented than europe (which has 7+1 animals already, an animal pack worth of animals), so while I'd love a european pack as much as then ext player, I don't agree with this defeatist complaint over a brand new pack that fills a previously underrepresented area, while also boosting Europe a bit.
West, Central, South and East of Europe have Red deer, Roe deer, Fallow deer, Red Fox, European Lynx, European Wilde Cat, Alpine Ibex, Wild boar, Wisent, some of iconic animals that you find în european zoos.
What they did with the timber wolf was a very deliberate move, of both coding it and making it look north american specifically, and also claiming it covers canis lupus as a whole. Considering the fact the ingame animal can't withstand high tempratures, I really can't see it representing the hot climate subspecies (mexican, arabian, indian...) but it does a fine job representing the eurasian wolf, even if it is a tiny bit too small for it.
I think European dlc will come to planet zoo someday
And I disagree I think frontier did a great job with the new dlc.

As a European, I'd far rather a more varied australasia pack, south America pack, or a primate pack... Or even an aviary pack, well before a european pack!
What would we have for Europe? The wisent (bison reskin?), European beaver (...Beaver with a new name?), red fox (there is a theme here...) or a Lynx (Ok, this would be nice!)?
I'd far rather see some major animal families fleshed out and polished before a pack of, mainly, reskins is released. Though what I would love would the animals listed above (and a few others) just released alongside a free update. A quick reskin (ok, I appreciate how much effort goes into the texture work in this game, so not quick) and new zoopedia entry would really sweeten the deal, just as a lot of the free foliage we get does!
Edit: Now I mentioned an australasia pack, I've realised how much I would love to see a Kākāpō in the game!

Dude go check a meta-list sometime. If they were more popular we would have already recieved a European dlc by now. A European dlc is something I am a huge proponent of....but know your place. The 6th most popular continent will come after the other more popular ones...
Going by the wishlist, a second round on SA, Oceania and Asia is still more popular than Europe
