Garnet from Denver zoo thanks you all for each and every of your new votes and proudly announce herself in the top 8 of the the meta wishlist 🤩🤩🤩

Damn you all worked hard for her position! Thank you from the bottom of a hogs heart 😍

It’s a huge huge success for a simple hog and also did you know that apart from the Przewalski horse, Red River hogs are the highest ranked ungulates?🤩

And once again, a new king is crowned (I know it's really the Amur leopard, but I'm most partial to the Arabian)
Personally I want the Arabian if we get a leopard it’s just so beautiful

It’s great to see one of the most amazing creators in here 🤩
Great choices. Number 21 probably should be „wild” :cool:
 
Is even river hog that common? I think there are around 100 zoos worldwide keeping them. Its not much on big scale. I would call it average. For comparison peccaries are more common by far.
Really? Wow, I didn't know that. Honestly, I'm mostly going on the fact that both of my well-visited zoos have them (Smithsonian and Audubon) have them. But based on a cursory glance, they're also at San Diego, Bronx, Little Rock, LA, Zoo Tampa, Toronto, North Carolina, Minnesota, Columbus, Brookfield, Nashville, Vancouver, Cheyenne Mountain, Philly, Memphis, and at least 8 zoos in the UK. There's definitely also several more. Perhaps they're regionally more common in the US, especially the South? Maybe you're right, though, and I'm assuming from my limited experience. Whatever the case, they're cute and another African Rainforest species so I hope we get them.
 
Zoochat suggests 55 red river hogs in AZA and Zootierliste says 79 in Europe + EAZA. Certainly more than that when you factor in non-AZA American zoos, and I assume they're also kept outside of these regions as well.

Compared to the collared peccary, the most prevalent species, the numbers are 17 (old data from 2014, but it's either the same or decreased by now since they're a phase out species) AZA and 88 Europe+EAZA. Granted, my own anecdotal experience does suggest that peccaries are far more common in non-AZA zoos compared to AZA, but either way I don't really see the data pointing to peccaries being "more common by far". Either way I'd like to see them both in game, but the red river hog decidedly more so.

Also my gut would've said that babirusa were more common than either based on my experiences, but that is definitely not the case looking at some numbers.
 
In my honest opinion, if Frontier would only be adding animals that are the most common zoos, our roster would be pretty boring and repetitive. We need a balance of common in zoos and interesting looking animals.

Nothing against the peccary, ideall we would get both, but if I would have to choose between Red River Hog and Collared Peccary, I would choose the hog. I am so tired of all the brownish animals, I think Red River Hog is visually more interesting.
Does it really matter to people that much if it is in 20 less zoos than the peccary, granted it is still quite common in zoos? Real question here, I am really curious if it matters to people that much on expanse of having more unique animals.
