A Bit of DLC Speculation for 2023

2023 is often thought to be Planet Zoo's final year, and if it is, we should speculate in the best possible ways to get the most requested animals before time is up. I am predicting a DLC revolved around Islands, Highlands, Jungle and some other kind of animal pack. There is also the mysterious anniversary animal that could be thought about, perhaps even multiple this time around. As it is the last year, I feel all packs could have 8 animals.

Aquarium Expansion: Aquariums are able to work the same way as exhibits and these are what can contain animals that are completely aquatic like manatees, sea turtles, fish and aquatic invertebrates. Animals can just materialise inside the aquarium like current exhibits, and like the larger exhibits I mentioned above, they can have several items placed inside to fully customise the exhibit. The animals would move around the different sized tanks. There are two different kinds of aquarium, Marine and Freshwater, each having their own selection of animals. The Marine aquariums can house animals like sharks, reef fish, rays and sea turtles, manatees too. Manatees are different as they can inhabit fresh and salt water so they are what I would call a generalist animal, doesn't matter what water they are placed in, they would be fine nonetheless. In Freshwater aquariums, animals like arapaima, piranha, catfish, freshwater rays, freshwater turtles, several other freshwater fish, amphibians and invertebrates. There are many zoo aquariums, so having aquariums in Planet Zoo is something that could definitely happen. My idea for the animals below would be structured like my Aviary Expansion in a separate thread. Small aquariums would be 1x1, 1x2, 1x4, 2x2, 2x4, 4x4, Medium aquariums would 4x6, 4x8, 6x8, 6x12, 6x16, 6x20, 8x8, 8x12, 8x16, 8x20, and then the Large aquariums would be separated into just River, Large Reef, Marine, Oceanic. They would come in different shapes including cylinders, circles, large rectangles, squares and some could be mostly square edges with one curved window.
  1. Sharks (Sand Tiger, Zebra, Blacktip Reef, Whitetip Reef, Sandbar, Bull, Tiger, Great Hammerhead)
  2. Rays (Cownose Ray, Southern Stingray, Giant Freshwater Stingray, Ocellate River Stingray, Reef Manta Ray, Spotted Eagle Ray, Blue Spotted Stingray, Leopard Whipray, Lesser Devil Ray)
  3. Turtles (Green Sea Turtle, Hawksbill Sea Turtle, Arrau Turtle, Giant Malaysian Turtle, Pig Nosed Turtle)
  4. Other Cartilaginous Fish (Bowmouth Guitarfish/Shark Ray, Giant Shovelnose Ray, Smooth Dogfish, Largetooth Sawfish)
