Also their "swampy" smell... yuck
1 more animal for each DLC

Some sources claims otherwise:
Swamp wallabies generally live in, but are not restricted to, dense forests, woodlands, and swampy areas. They are known to venture into more open areas, but only if there are nearby areas of thick brush. - https://animaldiversity.org/accounts/Wallabia_bicolor/
Frequenting the thick forests and swamps of eastern Australia - https://www.australiazoo.com.au/wildlife/our-animals/swamp-wallaby/
True. The are more likely to live around swamps and thick scrubland. Rather that in swamps. I’ll change it up. It’s a wetland pack not a near wetland pack.
But since the word wetlands cover more than just swamps, I would say they could make sense.
With the release of more DLC's it's time to update the list of animals
Deluxe: Addax (CR) or Saiga antelope (CR)
Arctic pack: Musk Ox (LC)
South America pack: Maned wolf (NT)
Australia pack: Matschie's tree-kangaroo (EN)
Aquatic pack: Southern elephant seal (LC) or Sea otter (EN)
Southeast Asia animal pack: Banteng (EN) or Yellow-throated marten (LC)
Africa pack: Somali wild donkey (CR) or Ethiopian Wolf (EN)
North American animal pack: Black-footed ferret (EN) or Roosevelt elk (LC)
Europe pack: Wolverine (LC)
Wetlands animal pack: Père David's deer (EW)
This is such a fun topic! So hard to choose just one
Deluxe: Emu
Arctic: Walrus
South America: Maned wolf
Australia: Lumholtz's tree kangaroo
Aquatic: Little blue penguin
Southeast Asia: Lar gibbon
Africa: Addax
North America: Roosevelt elk

Arctic: Walrus
South America: Maned wolf
Australia: Lumholtz's tree kangaroo
Aquatic: Little blue penguin
Southeast Asia: Lar gibbon

New DLC=New Update
- japanese serow(deluxe)

- Shoebill stork(Africa pack)
- ocellated turkey(north american animal pack)

Revised, and deciding to go hard on birds:
Arctic: Wolverine
South America: South American coati
Australia: Emu
Aquatic: Mandarin duck
Southeast Asia: Lowland anoa
Africa: Helmeted guineafowl
North America: North American black bear
Europe: White stork
Wetlands: Egyptian goose
Conservation: Golden lion tamarin
I figured I would go through this again - I have substituted some of my older choices and also added the Europe, Wetlands and Conservation packs.
Deluxe: Bar headed goose (one of my most-wanted species, which could be kept in all sorts of enclosures and be an ideal 'starter' species for a smaller zoo)
Arctic: Wolverine (probably one of the most obvious missing arctic mammals at this point, which could represent Asia, Europe and North America)
South America: Chacoan peccary (an endangered pig-like ungulate that would represent the dry forests and deserts of South America)
Australia: Parma wallaby (a small woodland-dwelling wallaby that lives alone or in small groups; as opposite as possible to the red kangaroo currently in the game)
Aquatic: Giant Asian pond turtle (a large and critically endangered freshwater turtle that is able to be kept in large outdoor enclosures and mixed-species displays)
Southeast Asia: Prevost's squirrel (a colourful tree squirrel that is commonly kept in zoos and suitable for keeping both outdoors and in walkthrough enclosures)
Africa: Red river hog (one of the most visually interesting African hoofed mammals that would be an ideal representative of the rainforest habitat)
North America: Ocellated turkey (a brightly-coloured ground bird that could represent the tropical woodlands of Mexico)
Europe: European rabbit (a charismatic and endangered small mammal that could be kept in all sorts of different areas of a zoo)
Wetlands: Lac Alaotra gentle lemur (a critically endangered primate that lives on floating islands of papyrus on a single Madagascan lake; they are quite common in UK zoos)
Conservation: Owston's civet (I know it is another Asian carnivore, but these animals depend upon conservation by zoos for their survival, so fit the concept perfectly)
I also figured, just for my own amusement more than anything, I would choose one new exhibit species for each pack (because I love the possible diversity of exhibit species):
Deluxe: King cobra (I don't think snakes will come with any DLC, so this is my way of adding what I see as the most important missing snake)
Arctic: Moor frog (a Eurasian frog that lives on the arctic tundra - the males turn bright blue during their breeding season)
South America: Collared treerunner (a quite colourful, arboreal lizard from the Amazon rainforest)
Australia: Frilled lizard (one of the main missing Australian exhibit animals, a highly charismatic species of reptile)
Aquatic: Atlantic mudskipper (would be the game's first fish, which would also work well with the current exhibits as it requires land and water)
Southeast Asia: Malaya giant weevil (a colourful insect that is among the largest weevils in the world and has been kept in zoos before)
Africa: Pancake tortoise (a small, critically endangered and quite commonly kept savannah tortoise)
North America: Common collared lizard (a brightly-coloured desert reptile that is fairly widespread across North America)
Europe: Olimpia's ground beetle (a beautiful and threatened beetle native to Italy that could use the same temperate exhibit as the fire salamander)
Wetlands: Common yabby (a vulnerable freshwater crayfish native to Australia that could be paired up with displays for platypus and saltwater crocodile)
Conservation: Turquoise dwarf gecko (a critically endangered African reptile that would add a new African species)
Deluxe: Bar headed goose (one of my most-wanted species, which could be kept in all sorts of enclosures and be an ideal 'starter' species for a smaller zoo)
Arctic: Wolverine (probably one of the most obvious missing arctic mammals at this point, which could represent Asia, Europe and North America)

I will have the game mechanics when the DLC came out in my mind. So a Walrus would have been an excellent Arctic animal but the diving mechanics with aquatic animals were not implemented to the game at this time.
Deluxe: King Cobra (an exhibit animal within this pack would have been good)
Arctic: Wolverine
South America: Coati
Australia: Echidna
Aquatic: Walrus
South East Asia: Muntjac
Africa: Kirks Dik Dik
North America: American Black Bear
Europe: Dalamtican Pelican
Wetlands: Red River Hog
Conservation: Kiwi
