I’ll put my top 50 most wanted terrestrial and aquatic habitat species in order, like was allowed on Random Goat’s meta-list. But this new list still does not account for many of the “new” things we all know are now possible. Flying species are now entering PZ with the soon-to-come fruit bat. Why aren’t flying species allowed in this list? Without them this list will just be a repeat of the other, older meta-list with only some minor differences.

Flying species are now entering PZ with the soon-to-come fruit bat. Why aren’t flying species allowed in this list? Without them this list will just be a repeat of the other, older meta-list with only some minor differences.

We don't know what type of enclosure flying birds will use, so we don't know where to list them. But it's probably not under the "habitat animal" wishlist. Probably an exhibit animal wishlist? Unless they make something new.

I assume this list will still turn out very different, because the old one includes older choices of people who didn't know which species would be included in the packs we have now. So for instance, if someone who was including lots of cat species in the early days is now satisfied with the amount of cats in-game, the many cats on their list would no longer represent what they currently want.

This list taught me there are a lot of animals I still don't know about.
 
Yeah i didn't know about the kipunji existence, not even by other name. The rest i know them though. I don't think any of those are really "essential" for the game as a whole though, but we all have our sepecific wishes and necesities i guess 😅

The 2023 list is updated. I kind of like comparing the counting systems. This was fun and interesting. I've been learning a lot about different types of animals from the lovely people of this forum, but I'm no expert in wildlife. If anyone sees a glaring issue, please let me know.

A few of reminders:
  1. There are no substitutions (no re-voting), but I will renew the list around the next anniversary if the developers continue support. You can change up your votes then.
  2. No exhibit animals or aviary birds, please.
  3. If you haven't done so, please submit your top 25 essential habitat animals to random goat's list. It has many more participants, and your choices should be counted there as well.
A few notes:
  1. I skipped animals with fewer than one vote in the hybrid list to keep things somewhat controlled.
  2. The hybrid list takes 25% of the priority to favorites list points (uses all 50) and all of the count list points (uses top 25) to give each list equal weight.
  3. Thank you to all participants! I will count the votes again next month.
