So, random goat did send me a PM and encouraged me to participate in this thread. I am happy to please!

My whishlist is heavily leaning towards European animals (because Europe is a currently under-represented continent) and goats (because a) this animal group is sadly lacking members in PZ as well and b) goats are great climbers and I love creating mountainous enclosures with lots of rocks that are actually used by their inhabitants. And c) they are awesome. )

1. Eurasian lynx (EURO) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_lynx
2. Alpine ibex (EURO, GOAT) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpine_ibex
3. Red deer (EURO) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_deer
4. European bison (Wisent) (EURO) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_bison
5. Central European boar (EURO) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_boar
6. European badger (EURO) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_badger
7. European mouflon (EURO, GOAT) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_mouflon
8. Fire salamander (EURO) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_salamander
9. Takin (GOAT) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takin
10. Markhor (GOAT) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markhor
11. Muskox (GOAT) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muskox
12. Fallow Deer (EURO) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_fallow_deer
13. Chamois (EURO, GOAT) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamois
14. Walrus - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walrus
15. Chinese giant salamander - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_giant_salamander
16. Maned wolf - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maned_wolf
17. Capybara - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capybara
18. African wild donkey - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_wild_ass
19. (Grizzled) tree-kangoroo – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree-kangaroo or https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graues_Baumkänguru
20. Any non-flying or mostly ground-dwelling bird. Maybe the Secretarybird does qualify in the broader sense? Otherwise: More desert animals like e.g. the Addax.

The list is sorted by desire (especially the top 10).

Usually, I love to provide pictures of my whish-listed animals, because I want to illustrate their beauty and therefore strengthen my point.
This would overly inflate this post, though. Hence I just added links to the related Wikipedia article for your convenience and quick access.

I'm very happy this thread finally got the attention it deserved, so for the new ones to the forum/topic of meta wishlists I recommend you check out the other threads covering other kinds of animals:

https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/essential-small-exhibit-animals-2-the-sequel.590619/ Exhibit animals meta wishlist

https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/essential-aviary-animals.565435/ Aviary animals meta wishlist

https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/25-aquatic-animal-meta-wishlist.591432/page-2#post-9568766 Aquatic/Aquarium animals meta wishlist

 

[Firestar97]

I've said several times, you're right: fully aquatic animals are ok as long as they're big enough. But I definetely recommend posting a list in yoav's thread!
I'm sorry but I can't just change any list that has been submitted. It would set a bad precedent. I can add your 2 missing animals nonetheless!

Ok, sad that it won't work to remove my 3 aquatic Votes from the List because that means I'll need to be more careful which other 2 Animals I'll add but it's understandable.
I might create a aquatic Animal List in the other Thread later because there are also a few other ones I'd really like to see in the Game
