You can't see the video? On my phone it is shown. I don't know why the forums sometimes hide the videos from Youtube.

yeah sometimes that happens. I see the link so it may just be my browser settings. I had a feeling it was something capybara related
Oh and it's super cute too!
One question. Do you really dont want to round up your list to 20 animals? Seems such a waste
Oh boy, I only have 20 now? Well after picking 6 of 7 from South East Asia, I have picked none from the last two DLC. Gonna have to make some cuts and maybe adjust based on what we've gotten so far. New ones are noted via underline and *.
Reptilia:
1. Giant Girdled Lizard - would work in PZ - a grasslands lizard that lives in groups, another squamata that is not an exhibit animal or a monitor
2. Indian Narrow-headed Softshell Turtle - giant, mostly-aquatic freshwater turtle found in some zoos
Aves:
3. Red-crowned Crane - iconic crane species
4. Secretary Bird* - I find your lack of ground dwelling birds disturbing
Carnivora:
5. Spot-Necked Otter* - personal favorite, being more specific this time
6. Southern Sea Otter - also personal, but I'd say it has a greater case since we have a freshwater one
7. Leopard Seal - would be nice to get another Antarctic animal that is not a penguin.
8. Pallas Cat* - shifting focus onto small cats, and these are super unique and provide more central Asian animals, my next in line would be caracal
Artiodactyla:
9. Saiga - Asian plains bovid
10. Barasingha - Good for mixed species with peafowl, rhino, and elephant. Red Deer or Pere David's are good alternates.
11. Markhor - need to have more mountain species
12. Chacoan peccary - to round out pig species, preferred over other peccary due to conservation status, unique ecoregion, and physical features.
Perissodactyla:
13. Przewalksi's Wild Horse - most popular non-zebra equid.
Rodentia:
14. Capybara - largest rodent + another South American animals
Monotreme/Marsupials:
15. Platypus - this one speaks for itself
16. Short-beaked echidna - lets round out egg-laying mammals
17. Common Wombat - non macropod marsupial, personally prefer over Tasmanian devil
18. Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo* - an arboreal macropod, switched from Matschie's on last list
Primata:
19. White-handed Gibbon - need a gibbon species, picked over Crested due to larger range over SE-Asia
20. Black Howler Monkey - another new world monkey
Thank you @random goat for putting this together.

I'd be very happy with these packs.
I never thought I would say that but actually I’d be too.
When I look at them now they seem really balanced and of course I would gladly put there some more of my favorites there but those are not the favorites of the general players and I respect that.
This is not my personal favorite list but more of a prediction of what could happen with the most popular 30 species on the list.
I also like that all of the neglected regions received their justice finally.

I mean, I'm sure we'd get some less popular and more unexpected species, but this is a good baseline.
I'd like to get the walrus in an endangered species DLC. It would be nice to add an aquatic animal to make the pack more diverse.
Great idea but walrus is vulnerable and than we would need to get rid of takin or black rhino.
For me it's easy to choose: bye bye rhino! It ranks much lower in the list.
I love it. Instant buy for all of these for me.
Changed it already. Makes much more sense now
Good lists, but platypus would probably be better as temperate TBH… they are found are found in the tropics but spread all the way to the highlands of Tasmania so most of their range is temperate rather than tropical. Could move tree kangaroo to tropical and Amur to endangered and it’d still work.
Both swaped. Platypus now in Temperate and tree kangaroo in tropical and Amur leopard and secretary bird in endangered.
I like how temperate is looking now - it’s not obvious at all.

Well, I could hardly think of what species I wanted Frontier to accept and choose to put and include in Planet Zoo. Those were what I've been hoping for that game to have. And I hope they choose enough bears and wolves (species and subspecies) for that game.One question. Do you really dont want to round up your list to 20 animals? Seems such a waste
