I am indeed Scottish! It is sadly not my influence, and unsure if it's even actually a bagpipe, but let's pretend it is. Bagpipes for everybody!@Eltanin Casciani the Fire Salamander didn't play an instrument in the story, but it is seen playing bagpipes. Is that your Scottish influence?(Correct me if I'm wrong, but I though Tim said you hailed down all the way from Scotland/the North).
So glad for the Fallow Deer. Was worried that the Europe pack wouldn’t have a deer species. Prefer the fallow over the red as they should be walk through exhibits animals. Nice work Frontier!
In fact, many important animals are missing, and birds are totally missing!
There is a lack of things like playgrounds for children and many things can still be improved, such as the possibility of creating larger exhibits for small mammals and shrinking unnecessarily huge exhibits for insects.
Some things I wanted seem to come, like the possibility of restaurants and to edit the shops.
In short, good work as usual, but there is a lot to improve and to include in the game, in my opinion.
Fallow Deer instead of the Otter! That makes this pack a little better! We needed more Cervidae!
Looks like there's a hefty boat ride coming, if the promo video is to go by!
OMG I'm so happy for the badger !
Overall, I'm very happy with this roster.
The only two animals I really wanted from a Europe Pack are in - the badger and the salamander.
I'm not a huge fan of the lynx but that's just a matter of personal taste. I was sure it would be included and it makes total sense. Happy it's the Eurasian instead of Iberian. I think it's a better choice.
For the last two spots, it's nice to have two ungulates because I love them and I always wish we could have more. I thought it would be the Ibex and the Red Deer but the fallow deer is a very nice surprise. I know some people will be disappointed because they wanted the red deer but honestly, I'm happy to get the fallow deer instead. More common in captivity and nice animal for a walk-through habitat.
So, yeah, I'm very happy about that selection of animals. Can't wait to see all the new scenery pieces !

Wonderful choice of animals!
I love each and every one!
And the Eurasian lynx especially! I have such fond childhood memories about this beautiful cat!
Regarding the building pieces, I have a hard time spotting the new ones. The stone wall looks interesting and I surely will make good use of it! Unfortunately, no art nouveau pieces; an Europe DLC would have such a good opportunity for this style. But there is always the possibility for a later addition...
Not so hyped about all the Christmas themed decorations, though. Stuff like that is way to seasonal for me.

Honestly just want to thank you for ignoring all of the folks who insisted “A Europe pack makes no sense right now, it should come last, it’s a bad add” and whatever else. A Europe pack was simple, and absolutely the right call.
There is one in the trailer, it's not much but it's something, just a little walk animation.
Also burrows..

Wow the Lynx actually looks really good! Blown away by it! And Fallow Deer? Red Deer fans are raging right now lol
Pretty good roster, could've been a lot worse.
I do have to wonder why the Eurasian lynx was chosen when the Iberian lynx has been mentioned on one of the education posters (habitat fragmentation) and would better tie in with the conservation themes.
I'm also assuming that this means Frontier considers Turkey to be part of Europe lol

Could be the case as well!
That new pathway shown in the trailer looks really nice. Loving the new scenery!
Also, now with the Ibex, the entire original roster of ZT2 is represented which is really cool.
I'm a bit sad over the exclusion of the wolverine, because now I feel its ship has sailed.
But that Ibex looks beautiful so I am fine

We still don't have a black rhinoceros
As a guy from Europe I am sooo hyped! This architecture is so familiar and close from home! 
Can't wait for next week! 
One of my favorites when it comes to DLCs!

Pack your warmest coat as you get ready to discover the charms of EuropeTravel across alpine mountain tops and through dense forests in a European winter tale like no other with the latest Planet Zoo pack!
We're thrilled to announce the Planet Zoo: Europe Pack will be available to buy on 14 December, 2021 releasing alongside free update 1.8.
Excited to find out which wonderful animals you'll be meeting in this pack? Look no further! We'll be introducing you to the Eurasian Lynx, the Alpine Ibex, the European Badger, the European Fallow Deer, and a hot new exhibit animal, the Fire Salamander, all of which will have their own requirements and challenges as you incorporate them into your zoos. Plus you'll get to see the European Badger resting in its burrows! We can't wait to see what kind of incredible habitats you're able to create for these new additions.
All the avid builders out there are in for a real treat, too: the addition of over 250 new scenery pieces, inspired by various European countries and cultures. You'll discover pieces influenced by Italy, France, Germany, The Netherlands, and Switzerland, as well as winter-themed scenery that will leave your zoo feeling super cosy. Plus, you'll notice lots of water and bridge theming throughout the new pieces, as well as some new foliage.
You'll also be able to challenge yourself with a brand new Timed Scenario, set in the foothills of an imposing alpine mountain. This zoo has three distinctly themed areas inspired by Italy, France, and Switzerland, which you'll need to successfully build across to complete the challenge. We're sure you can handle this, zookeepers!
The Planet Zoo: Europe Pack will be available for purchase for £7.99 ($9.99, 9.99€) on Steam from 14 December. Want to be notified when the game is available? You can head over to Steam to wishlist it right now! Please remember that you'll need to own the base game of Planet Zoo to be able to enjoy the Planet Zoo: Europe Pack, though.
Is there an animal or a scenery piece you are particularly excited about in the Planet Zoo: Europe Pack? Let us know, below!
Not raging, we just wanted a deer! The thought that a European pack would not have a deer at all was horrifying. Of course the Red deer is the iconic deer, but the fallow deer is very common in captivity and very cute as well.
