Your first list is the only valid one. Sorry but I cannot simply update the list whenever someone changes their mind or wants to replace 'x' animals.
However, I suggest you keep an eye on this thread around Xmas as there might be some news in relation to replacing or adding animals to the list.

It's almost crazy now that the capybara is ranking not only #1 (that's not crazy) but by an extreme gap from #2. Which interestingly enough the gap between that and #3 is the second largest gap in the game (with the gap between 1-2 being around twice that amount of gap). Of course, the leopard is combined where as the capybara is not.

regardless, when we get the capybara and if we ever get a true leopard, the list will have major shake ups.

Also congratulations to the large rodent for smoothly sailing past 200 votes. Which I highly doubt any other animal will reach with this edition.
 
I haven't posted here, because it's been so hard coming up with just 20! I hope I don't have to rank them too!

Not a firm order of preference.

1. Przewalski's horse (Equus przewalskii)
2. Sea Otter (Enhydra lutris)
3. Walrus (Odobenus rosmarus)
4. White nosed Coati (or other coati species)
5. Armadillo species (giant armadillo is largest living species, but a desert species like nine banded would be nice too--so few desert species from the Americas currently in the game)
6. Wombat species (go with the consensus here)
7. Duck billed platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus)
8. Collared Peccary (Dicotyles tajacu)
9. Guatemalan Black Howler monkey (Alouatta pigra)
10. African Serval (Leptailurus serval)
11. Maned Wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus)
12. Eurasian Lynx (Lynx lynx)
13. Arabian Oryx (Oryx leucoryx)
14. Gray Crowned Crane (Balearica regulorum)
15. Trumpeter swan (preferred but would settle for another swan species) (Cygnus buccinator)
16. Fossa (Cryptoprocta ferox)
17. Gibbon species (go with the consensus here)
18. Spotted Cuscus (Spilocuscus maculatus)
19. Tasmanian Devil (Sarcophilus harrisii)
20. Musk ox (Ovibos moschatus)

To be fair, koalas, pandas, giant anteaters, and red pandas all have highly specialized diets as well.
Yes but today it's not really a problem anymore to feed bamboo or eucalyptus and the giant anteaters do well with a substitute diet which gives them all the nutrients they need. But e.g. for the three-toed sloth it's still a problem to feed them an adequate diet, they do not do well with a substitute diet. Maybe one day it will be possible but at the moment it's not.

KNOW YOUR POTAMOCHOERUS and vote for Red River Hogs!

Potamochoerus (meaning "river pig") is a genus in the pig family (Suidae). It contains two species, the Red River Hog (Potamochoerus porcus) and the Bush Pig (Potamochoerus larvatus). Both species are native to sub-Saharan Africa but the introduction by people has spread their range. They are found in a wide range of habitats and have shown they can quickly adapt to living near people.

Red River hogs are extremely popular in zoo collection’s and work great in mixed exhibits.

Please consider giving your vote to Red River Hogs 👍🏽🤞🏽
