Nobody mentioned the grizzly bear.
Caribou, Polar bear, Arctic Fox are from extrem North of the Europe. Great flamingo can't be seeing in only very small spot of Europe. if you think that is representative for most part of Europe you are very wrong! You can't find all this animal in 99% zoos in Europe. Only remains animals in European DLC in the game.
You yourself said that Europe has no representation. Now you're saying that animals found in Europe don't count?
I suggest you build a North American zoo with only caribou, polar bear and polar fox, as endemic species, because you can find them also in NA, right? Why you want another NA species? You don't have enough? Why North Americans desperatelly want Black bear, they have Grizzly bear. Is not a "generic" bear that covers all the bears in NA?!
I get your point about "fringe" representation, but Moose, Arctic fox and Reindeer are very much european scandinvian animals, as @KönigDerKaffeebohnen could tell you. I agree we could use more southern european fauna, but it is a much less dire need than other far more underrepresented regions.
The gray fox is my favorite animal, and I've wanted it before the SEA pack.
Although to be fair, the moose is very much a North American moose in appearance, not a Eurasian elk. I can’t use the male and get away with it as a European animal because the appearance is quite different.
Never seen either in real life, so I can't really tell, but I remember the Moose was very often argued to be a european animal whem introduced.
Yes but the Eurasian elk male generally has different, less dramatic antlers. For me the moose is very much a North American animal.
Are you writing about this fox? I didn't know them exactly, at my place they are called something completely different. They don't have the word "fox" in their name and are more suggested by the Latin name. But I saw a short film about them once and they said then that they are probably the only canids that walk in trees. They can be an interesting addition to the game.
Yes, exactly. Those little guys. They are local in northeast Texas, but in all my 20 years of being up there, I have yet to see one.Are you writing about this fox?

Wisent is in great danger of extinction because in Europe the great forests that were their natural habitat have disappeared. Even the largest population, living in the forests of Poland, fails to grow in sufficient numbers for the species to escape the danger of extinction. It is very difficult to sustain a population in reserves and this is the only way to protect it. As a comparison, the total number of Wisents represents less than 1% of the current total number of American bison, even if the American bison originates in the Eurasian bison.The gray fox is my favorite animal, and I've wanted it before the SEA pack.
And, I actually have built a zoo with just those animals plus some from the Asian tundra
But, you're missing the point: the oryx is a well known conservation story. Plus, it is a striking animal. Let's not forget that a lot of players are coming from Zoo Tycoon, so it brings nostalgia. And, it brings more representation to North Africa and the Middle East, places with LESS representation than Europe.
The wisent's story is unknown (I never even heard of a wisent before I joined), it looked similar to an American bison, it's
Something like "uracyon virginia". I don't know if it translates well.
Sincerely don't you think there is more endangered than wisent even in Europe and elsewhere?
From extcint in the wild to near threatend. Nice
To be fair, the wisent is also the topic of on-going reintroduction programmes and was saved from extinction by captive breeding. Nonetheless, I don’t have a problem with the oryx and think it’s a great addition to the game.
