funny that you chose two european animals to compare
Europeans need European DLC above any else DLC!!!

- Start date
And let's not forget, the Sun Bear for SEA and the Beaver for NA aren't exactly what immediately comes to mind when thinking of "headliner/flagship" animals either. At least not in the same territory as jaguars, polar bears, meerkats, king penguins or koalas/kangaroos. In my opinion, it's reasonable to expect that a lynx, ibex or red deer could be as good a flagship animal as the beaver or the sun bear.
One of the main talking points about the SEA pack was that it didn't have a true headliner, and it supposedly made worse than the other packs (don't know if we ever got real info regarding that)
That's true (I keep forgetting that many people didn't like the SEA pack as much as I did
).At least it shows that Frontier is prepared to release DLCs without that "one" star animal. Maybe they learned from SEA not to do that again, maybe they had turned SEA into an animal pack because they hoped that the three additional animals would outweigh the lack of a headliner.
But I still think that the European wildlife has more than enough attractive animals that could serve as a headliner and make people buy the pack. I don't know any player demographics, so I can only go by assumptions, but most players are probably from Europe, and many would certainly be open for such a pack.

This exactly. The choice of the Beaver over the Moose or Cougar as the headliner was a bit unusual, but it also goes to show that Frontier is not afraid to pick not so obvious choices for their headliners. I think a Lynx or Alpine Ibex would be great choices for headliners.
I thought the sea lion was the most obvious choice, considering it's popularity and ability to dive.
True, good point. At any rate I don't expect too many thought the Beaver would be the headliner. Just goes to show it doesn't have to be the obvious choice.
As an American I’m so happy I got this pack! I can finally make zoos with our local wildlife and make my zoos much more realistic! I’m hoping we get a Europe pack one day! I need a ibex lynx and wolverine! But just as I’m excited for you guys to get your pack one day so you can share in my excitement, I would love if right now you can just be happy for people like me who are over the moon right now that I can finally recreate the rosters of country’s zoos! You’ll have your turn (I hope) but right now it’s our turn. 
I think people are being really happy for ourselves as much as people like you. Not least because we get three European animals in this packI would love if right now you can just be happy for people like me who are over the moon right now that I can finally recreate the rosters of country’s zoos! You’ll have your turn (I hope) but right now it’s our turn.
There are several of them spread around. One or two is a common amount and several have only 1 of them.
For example, in the US the Cincinnati Zoo only had one for a long while until he died of old age, which ended up canceling the planned upgrade of the exhibit (Originally, there was both a sea lion and a walrus one, the walrus left [can't remember if that was due to age or transfer] and the sea lion was moved in there because it had just been upgraded and the old exhibit torn down...now that the sea lion died, they converted it into an outdoor penguin exhibit). Mainly because the old guy did not like dealing with other sea lions at all...especially in his later years when he went blind. From what some friends who work or worked there in the past commented, he was like a grumpy old man who was also picky about handlers.
I think Louisville Zoo in KY has 2 of them, but in a mixed habitat with grey seals and harbor seals.
In this Situation it's absolutely making Sense
I bet that looks absolutely amazing
Now that we received that amazing NA dlc the only ones that I miss are any lynx and Wolverine. So I hope they would come in some kind of biome pack or Eurasian pack. I think that Europe only pack would be a waste of slot.
I also want ibex but it could be also covered by any other subspecies like Nubian ibex.

May i ask, why would europe only be a waste of a slot? Any reasons?
I think he meant that a Europe only pack would block animals not from Europe from being in a pack, which could go in a Eurasian/temperate pack. From the top of my head, saigas and leopards
But doesnt that imply, that europe has not even 7 animals worth including?
Think about that
If people still think that after a little thought or research, is that your own opinion of distaste or an objective fact, that would make this an actual waste and not an expected mild disappointment?
