I was trying to stick specifically to myrmecophages (animals that eat ants and termites) but in a more general insectivore pack they'd also be a great pick.

This is missing the peccary, so instead of the sand cat maybe..?
Striped Hyena | San Diego Zoo Animals & Plants
"ABOUT
No dogs here! Hyenas are not members of the dog or cat families. Instead, they are so unique that they have a family all their own, Hyaenidae. There are four members of the Hyaenidae family: the striped hyena, the “giggly” spotted hyena, the brown hyena, and the aardwolf (it’s a hyena, not a wolf). They play an important role in their native habitats: cleanup crew!Striped hyenas are a bit smaller than spotted and brown hyenas and are the least studied. They have a broad head with dark eyes, a thick muzzle, and large, pointed ears. Their muzzle, ears, and throat are entirely black, but their coat may be golden yellow, brown, or gray with black stripes on the body and legs. A mane of long hair grows along the back. The stealthy hyena camouflages well in tall, dry grass. The most striking feature on the hyena is the legs: the front legs are much longer than the hind legs. This gives hyenas their distinctive walk, making them seem like they're always limping uphill. Yet hyenas are agile and can run, trot, and walk with ease.
HABITAT AND DIET
Sub-prime real estate: Native to northern Africa, the Middle East, and India, striped hyenas eke out a life in habitat too difficult to live in for other large predators: semideserts, rocky scrublands, and savannas. They avoid true deserts and must have a water source within 6 miles (10 kilometers). Making sure privacy is respected, hyenas scent mark the edges of their territory. With sharp vision, acute hearing (really big ears!), and a keen sense of smell, hyenas patrol their territory nightly."Well I mean if we speak of true deserts, then so do Baboons, Caracals and Coyotes avoid them.Striped Hyena | San Diego Zoo Animals & Plants

Semi deserts and drylands should definitely count if we're speculating such pack
The collared peccary is the most common peccary species in captivity...which mainly lives in tropical areas in middle and south america.....
We know now you want the Brown Hyena. But as I said before it is the last likely Hyena species Frontier will pick. As others also explained it matters how common they are in Zoos and how known they are by the general players. And the list shows you the clear popularity of the other Hyena species compared to the Brown Hyena. It is surely okay to wish and argue for it. But nevertheless taking all factors together the Striped Hyena is the most likely inclusion if we should ever get a second Hyena.Who cares where it's on any list... The brown hyena is bigger, more endangered/rare, more unique.
It's the best choice, period
Sure, but if there is one subspecies existing that fits more than another one, I would take this one over the other...and with the brown hyena there would be one.
I still disagree...and I will continue with it.
The brown hyena is the Spectacled Caiman of the Hyenas.Who cares where it's on any list
It's the best choice, period
I hate people who try to present their biased opinion as the only truth.
...And I will keep attacking them as I did beforeAnd the caiman is still a great addition.....it's nothing else than biased .
Also another european Animal
They are in Parts of Germany since at least a few YearsIf I'm correct, the golden jackal is quite common in southern europe (and already appearing in central europe)...
Insectivore Pack could be niceI could imagine the aardwolf to be in a special insectivore pack
Already wanted to start a List but you even wrote a Animal Pack. Nice
Definitely a great Selection of Animals and three from Australia. A Pack like that would make my Wish to start a australian Desert Zoo even bigger
Exactly. Even though I would like Species like the Golden Snub nosed Monkey and the Brown Hyena it could mean that we might not get a relatively similar Species that is way more common in Zoos
I disagree with this Statement though. I'd absolutely love to someday even see a Species in the Game that I didn't know before. What should be done though is bringing really common Zoo Animals into the Game (Baboons, Petting Zoo Animals, more South American Primates, Water Fowl.....)
Not exactly. The Spectacled Caiman is kept in lots of EAZA Zoos while the Brown Hyena seems to be rare everywhere
I argue in a objective way. The Striped Hyena has 71 votes, the Aardwolf has 32 votes, the Brown Hyena 9 votes. How much holdings the Striped Hyena has in European Zoos has compared to the other species was also mentioned here. I also want to have a Jaguarundi within the game. It really is a special looking cat but I accept that its inclusion is not very likely. You should just accept that objective parameters are not an offensive attack against your wish but an Argument of likeliness. You can wish for it and it is not impossible that we could get it. Frontier has already shown that they also include very unlikely species like the Nile Lechwe. But I will stay on my point of view. The Striped Hyena is with an objective view the most likely Hyena.
Look some people want some animals and others don’t. Some people think some animals are an important priority and that others aren’t. It’s all subjective and whilst it’s fine to express our views, arguing a point like it is one of absolutes in a battle of good and evil isn’t really getting anyone anywhere.
And also in north american deserts...
It's not objective at all...They don't take this wishlist as the only thing how they choose animals...which they have proven quite often in the past.
...and mainly in tropical areas of middle and south america...
Listen, it's okay to want one animal over another. But you should be able to look at a situation objectively and examine what does any animal add to the game.I hate people who try to present their biased opinion as the only truth.
I always wanted the arabian oryx, but being similar to the Gemsbok and not as endangered ad other oryxes, I always knew that the much more unique and rare scimitar oryx and addax are likely to come next. I'd love the arabian oryx in some desert pack or middle east pack, but I accept the chances are slim, and am not going around declaring my personal preference as the objective truth.
