Autumn DLC Speculation

If they haven't developed flying mechanics yet I'd prefer a Woodland DLC rather than the Nocturnal one, because I would miss a lot bats when designing caves... So, let's go for Woodlands pleeease! I hope for wild boars and red deers to be added too! 😁😁 I'm soo happy..!
 
No, but I listened to the sound on repeat. It's like a crash, something hard and heavy, not something a paw could make.
It sounds more like a tree of some kind is falling, it is not a paw or horns 🙈 Sorry, but sooner something would probably break its horns at such a sound. Now I don't know what it is...
 
Do not give me hope like this, I would die of happiness and I think I'd be literally the only person on these forums to do so. If we got this and the black bear I'd call North America 100% complete, wrap it up.
I'd still want a North American river otter, just because of how common they are in North American zoos. And I'd prefer three otters to the three foxes that we're about to get.
 
My official wishlist/prediction for (hopefully) tomorrow’s reveal:

-Raccon
-Striped Skunk
-Common Wombat
-Red Fox
(All relatively confirmed)
-European Bison
-Tasmanian Devil
-Reeve’s Pheasant
-Milk Snake (Exhibit)
(My hopes and dreams to round out this pack with as much diversity and popularity as possible).

Can’t wait to see the rest of the pack soon!
 
You do realise that this is region based, don't you?
Here red foxes, racoons and skunks are pretty much zoo animals.
They're zoo animals here in the US too, which is where I'm assuming @turkeyfox is from. They aren't all too common in bigger zoos without a major focus on local wildlife, but all three of them are essential for making non-AZA style zoos or local nature preserves. Literally godsend species.
 
I'm devastated to see both raccoons and skunks confirmed, and the red fox likely. These are all at the bottom of my list.

Raccoons and skunks are not zoo animals, they're vermin. You'd see them in the dumpster behind a zoo, not in the zoo itself.
They are quite common here at zoos in Germany (or at Central Europe in general)....

Red foxes are also not really a zoo animal, but the bigger problem is that the foxes we have already (fennec and Arctic) are already cooler than the red fox so a red fox is a wasted slot.
Red foxes would be finally the first animals in the game that live more or less in my backyard...and basically the only one from all the ingame animals, I've ever seen in the wild 🙈..so that is definitely one of my favourites
 
the crashing sound could definetely be a buck marking

Wombat is the only one I'm excited for, and that's only because Australian animals are so lacking. There are so many other Aussie animals I'd have much preferred.

The way this is shaping up it'll be my least favorite DLC ever. I'm happy for the people who did actually want raccoons though I guess.
native local wildlife education is an important part of zoos, plus they're easy to get your hands on and cheap to care for. Places where they aren't native would benefit from them too. I think they're a good, rounded out addition especially for low-cost animals. Though I'd probably be happier about skunks if my dog hadn't gotten sprayed by one a few weeks ago, lol.
 
They're not mustelids at all.
Oh you're right. I keep forgetting that they were changed. My bad

Is white-tailed deer one of DLC animals? I think it is. Piebaldism is common feature of this species.
Lovely
In North America they're basically vermin. It'd be like adding rats to the game or making bed bugs an exhibit animal.
You can say that about any animal. Dingos and kangaroos are vermin in Australia
 
And who knows, we might all be completely thrown off by the hints of the stream, especially with respect to the Red Fox. I know with the previous pre-announcement livestreams we were all confident we would get the Spectacled Bear which turned out to be a Spectacled Caiman, and a lot of people actually expected the Eurasian River Otter back for the Europe DLC before the hint turned out to be a very weird way to describe a fallow deer.
