Roster:

@Doran I love your idea sooooo much 🥰 this would definitely be a dream pack to me 🤩

Anoa would also be a good choice but I’m really impressed that you included a species from Philippines 🤩 we sure need some

Whole list is based on wishlist and eliminaton system (one animal per one island and no more than 4 new/unique species).
Visayan Warty Pig was supposed to be species from philippines as 7th animal using this method, but it would be 2nd pig from southeast asia. So i threw deer instead.
 
Oceania would make a fantastic animal pack in my opinion. I do think it would have to include a tuatara as the exhibit animal as the tuatara and kiwi are pretty much vital for New Zealand zoos.
 
I'm thinking that with brachiation being a new animation the next pack would probably expand on that a little with a line up that has relationships with trees, and with this being an autumn pack I think a loose woodland / forest pack would suit. And I hope that there is a new sturdier enrichment item that allows the orangutans to do this.

1. Lar Gibbon
2. Sloth Bear
3. Tasmanian Devil
4. Red River Hog
5. Fossa
6. Red Deer
7. Indian Giant Squirrel
8. (Giant?) Rhinoceros Beetle
 
Do you think so? IMO neither are very similar to the red kangaroo and Bennett’s (Red-necked), unlike the yellow-footed rock wallaby, benefits from inhabiting a different biome.
Marsupials are all welcome since we don't have that many marsupials.
What about brush-tailed bettong?

Rabbit size small rat-kangaroo from western australia that inhabits temperate forests and shrublands. Worth to mention it is relatively common species in captivity outside australia. .
That's a cool creature I've never seen before!
I think that both are beautiful species with Bennett’s being the most popular Australian marsupial in zoos all over the world. But I’m really counting on beautiful rock wallabies to be added to the roster and the possibility of them jumping on rocks and utilize the goat rock enrichment.
Koalas and red kangaroos, that's really all for marsupials right now.
Middle East, Oceania and South America are the most underrepresented regions in the roster right now. So I hope that the next animal packs would change that situation. I would be happy with any of those regions taking a lead in Autumn dlc.
Also the Islands/coastal animal pack idea sounds interesting.
When the South America Pack was released, no one had an idea of animal pack and Frontier came up with it when they released Southeast Asia Animal Pack.
I agree that both are amazing - in many ways I prefer the rock wallaby - IMO, though, we badly need a cold-climate macropod.
All marsupials would be amazing!
Desert pack sounds great to me:
1. Emu
2. Hamadryas Baboon
3. Striped Hyena
4. Collared Peccary
5. African Spurred Tortoise
6. Caracal
7. Armadillo species
8. Uh...I am not the most knowledgeble here, maybe King Cobra ?

It has a bird, a reptile that is not a crocodillian, a small mammal, a primate, an ungulate and of course, a cat and a "dog like" species. I think this could work.
Great idea!

Never thought of islands idea...

We need more animals to go, and it's not impossible since planet zoo sells pretty well.

We don't have that many pigs or deer in the game I guess.

Oceania has many unique species yet not that well-represented in the game.

That's also great too! I hope new animal species have more interspecies enrichment bonuses with other animals in the game.
 
I wish for some rare and obscure species like Nile lechwe or Dall sheep. Both are still one of my favorite choices of all time 🤩

Don’t get me wrong - I’m very much into popular species but just as in real life, those not so popular animals always give me thrills.

I travel through the whole Europe and visit amazing zoos just to see them for my own eyes sometimes.

I both like unique animals and popular animals, too! Are there many good zoos in Europe? I haven't even been to Europe and I really wanna travel there, and the only zoo I ever know is Berlin Zoo. People who travel to Germany almost all visit Berlin Zoo.

Europe is full of zoos around every corner. We have thousands of zoos! Some of them are very famous and you have all kind of zoos, some of them are really good others not so much.

Super jealous- in Australia we have zoos in most state capitals and a few others scatttered around but it takes days to drive from one capital to the next so I have to be content (mostly) with rotating between the three Zoos Victoria properties.

Are there any good zoos in Australia? I thought you only had to travel to some good areas in the wild to see some good wild unique animals.

At least 10 of the best European zoo’s may be called exceptional in my opinion.

Check their websites all are really worth it.
Been in all of them and I can truly recommend them to all of you.

Not in particular order:

1. Prague Zoo
2. Vienna Zoo
3. Zurich Zoo
4. Chester Zoo
5. Both Berlin Zoo’s
6. Pairi Daiza Zoo
7. Bioparc Valencia
8. ZooParc de Beauval
9. Bioparc de Doué-la-Fontaine
10. Leipzig Zoo

Thank you!
 
Where did you get that amazing picture?
I made it using random google images.

As i said animals choices are based on wishlist.
Fossa, Kiwi, tree kangaroo and devil are obvious popular additions. Since fossa is taking spot for madagascar next most requested animals are japanese raccoon dog and sumatran rhino. Plus examples of island gigantism (gecko) and dwarfism (deer).
Perfectly balanced pack including everything island ecosystems could produce.

I think devs are taking look at the wishlist by random goat. I hope many of them will make it to the game sooner or later.

Yeah, the ones I’ve been to are pretty good - Zoos Victoria’s three (Melbourne, Werribee and Healesville), Adelaide zoo is good too and Taronga (Sydney) has amazing views over the harbour. None of them have as wide a range of species as many European zoos do though. Hobart doesn’t have one (it shut down soon after the last Tassie tiger died in the 30s but the wildlife there is amazing. When I lived there, about 20 min walk from the centre of town, we had pademelons and wallabies in our garden most nights. I was lucky enough to regularly see echidnas, wombats, wallabies and even platypus and sometimes quolls - that was while I was doing fieldwork for my PhD though, so not everyone’s experience.
 
Considering how often the top picks make it into DLC, they're clearly paying attention to it... that said, they're also clearly not sticking 100% to it.
As long as they're paying attention to it, I'm good with it. They don't have to stick with it.

Interesting! Thank you for your information!

Yup, I think we've gotten as many as five animals in the "upper part" (around the top 10) of the meta list at the time of release. That would be the North American pack, but I also think that was an anomaly. If they were only going by the meta list we would have gotten a wolverine as well.

I think 5 from the list in one pack is probably leaning on the list more than we can expect, but I suspect they'll include at least 3, and if possibly even 4, from whatever's in or near the top 10 (stretching that to the top 15). The key is figuring out the theme to make them work.

Tree Kangaroo/Emu/Wombat/Tasmanian Devil are obvious choices for an Oceania pack.
Emu/Porcupine/Maned Wolf/Hairy Nosed Wombat are good choices for a drylands (desert/grasslands) pack.
Tasmanian Devil/Red River Hog/Wolverine/Gibbon/Tree Kangaroo/Sloth could all be good choices for a rainforests type of pack and expanding that further to just forests, the wolverine.
Tasmanian Devil/Tree Kangaroo/Fossa could all be good Islands pack.
Nocturnal - Tasmanian Devil/Wombat/Porcupine/Sloth are all good choices, and the Maned Wolf/Red River Hog have potential as well.

The only popularly thrown out idea that would be a stretch with that (aside from flying birds and marine animals of course) would be a temperate or taiga/mountains pack. The Wolverine and Walrus (if you stretch that a bit) are the only two animals that would fit that are even in the top 15. Granted the Musk Ox is right outside it, but I doubt it would be an animal pack, much less the next pack. Can definitely see it for the next scenery pack though.

With the Tasmanian Devil in 4 of the first pack ideas, and the fact that they're comfortably at #1 on the meta list, I think it's pretty likely we'll get them in the next pack. Unless of course they go the bird/marine animal route.
