Really like your ideas and they are very close to ideal. I would just make very small changes because I expect birds in this years WE:
1. Islands
I would exchange Kagu (which I love but it’s to tiny for habitats in my opinion, also 3 birds in one pack seems outrageous
) for Manatee because why not - many thinks that it won’t be such a problem to implement them with a use of special elevator platform placed on the water where keepers could drop their packs. If not manatee please give us any Asian animal like Lar gibbon or Black crested macaque or even Lowland Anoa.WE: Rainbow lorikeet
2. Highlands
Love nearly all the choices just like before would only exchange 1 habitat animal Rock hyrax for Yellow footed rock wallaby.
WE: Peregrine falcon
3. Tropical rainforest
Here changes would make a huge difference for me:
Golden lion tamarin for Mantled guereza just for the color diversity in this pack.
Fishing cat for Ocelot because it’s more biome diverse (from Texas deserts to Amazon rainforests)
Tomistoma (which I love but right now we need more birds more often, preferably on every occasion) for Great Malaysian Argus pheasant absolutely amazing bird from Malayan peninsula that acts a bit like a peacock.
WE: Toco toucan
Anniversary: Addax
4. Deserts
Yellow footed rock wallaby for Echidna for the Oceania representation.
Roadrunner is cool but really small and would be weird in open enclosure so I would change it for Indian porcupine which is much more popular in zoos than its African cousin and would be great star animal of this pack with the camel and baboon.
Addax for Somali wild donkey - I could really use really underrated donkey. Also Addax would be perfect anniversary animal.
WE: Burrowing owl
