Oh boy, I only have 20 now? Well after picking 6 of 7 from South East Asia, I have picked none from the last two DLC. Gonna have to make some cuts and maybe adjust based on what we've gotten so far. New ones are noted via
underline and *.
Reptilia:
1. Giant Girdled Lizard - would work in PZ - a grasslands lizard that lives in groups, another squamata that is not an exhibit animal or a monitor
2. Indian Narrow-headed Softshell Turtle - giant, mostly-aquatic freshwater turtle found in some zoos
Aves:
3. Red-crowned Crane - iconic crane species
4. Secretary Bird* - I find your lack of ground dwelling birds disturbing
Carnivora:
5.
Spot-Necked Otter* - personal favorite, being more specific this time
6. Southern Sea Otter - also personal, but I'd say it has a greater case since we have a freshwater one
7. Leopard Seal - would be nice to get another Antarctic animal that is not a penguin.
8.
Pallas Cat* - shifting focus onto small cats, and these are super unique and provide more central Asian animals, my next in line would be caracal
Artiodactyla:
9. Saiga - Asian plains bovid
10. Barasingha - Good for mixed species with peafowl, rhino, and elephant. Red Deer or Pere David's are good alternates.
11. Markhor - need to have more mountain species
12. Chacoan peccary - to round out pig species, preferred over other peccary due to conservation status, unique ecoregion, and physical features.
Perissodactyla:
13. Przewalksi's Wild Horse - most popular non-zebra equid.
Rodentia:
14. Capybara - largest rodent + another South American animals
Monotreme/Marsupials:
15. Platypus - this one speaks for itself
16. Short-beaked echidna - lets round out egg-laying mammals
17. Common Wombat - non macropod marsupial, personally prefer over Tasmanian devil
18.
Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo* - an arboreal macropod, switched from Matschie's on last list
Primata:
19. White-handed Gibbon - need a gibbon species, picked over Crested due to larger range over SE-Asia Can I count this for Siamang? Don't think its needed as much anymore.
20. Black Howler Monkey - another new world monkey
Thank you
@random goat for putting this together.

Carnivora:
21. Fossa
