I want to try "predicting" some of the DLC packs we'll get. Let's see if I get "bingo" on any of these! I assumed they're going by region, and I went roughly in a sensible order. I tried to limit it to 12 DLC packs, since that's the amount Planet Coaster got. Went somewhat over the limit.
I limited my aquatic animals to mostly those seen in zoos. If they were to go full-marine-park on us, they'd probably offer bigger packs, like a full expansion. But I was already being optimistic with some of these, so I decided to limit myself. (Honestly, if I had to choose, I'd give up most ocean animals to make room for the birds and freshwater animals. But I get why people want a "marine mania" expansion. I just personally think I'd have more fun decorating freshwater habitats with lots of brush and branches, as opposed to blanker, emptier tanks.)
There's some packs where I added aviary animals. But for these ones, there were fewer main animals (or those were mostly reskins/remakes of similar animals anyway). So it's realistic enough that Frontier could do it? Maybe? Well, it's still technically a wishlist!
1. Australia Pack: Kangaroo, Koala, Cassowary, Tasmanian Devil, Tree Kangaroo
Exhibit animals: Australian Walking Stick, Glow Worm, Thorny Devil, Frilled Lizard
2. South America Pack: Jaguar, Giant Anteater, Howler Monkey, Capybara
Exhibit animals: Butterflies, Green Tree Frog
2.5. South America Deluxe Pack (all are aviary animals): for a higher cost, adds on the Brazilian Porcupine, Sloth, Common Marmoset, Green Anaconda, Toucan, Macaw, Harpy Eagle, and Quetzal.
This is where I'd love to introduce enclosures for animals that live in the branches: Aviaries! My ideal would be NZFanatic's idea here. They would include flying birds, mammals that stay in trees all the time, and snakes too huge for small exhibits. This is basically my way of cheating so I can add more to the South American pack.
3. North America Pack: Mountain Lion, Moose, Wolverine, and either the Mountain Goat or Big Horn Sheep.
Aviary species: Bald Eagle, Snowy Owl, Turkey Vulture.
4. Aquatic Pack 1: (introduces diving!) Beaver, River Otter, Alligator Gar, Caiman, Snapping Turtle, Sea Turtle, Emperor Penguin, Sea lion, Walrus, Ringed(?) Seal.
Exhibit species: Tropical Fish, Seastars, Softshell Turtle, Marine Iguana, maybe a crustacean. (This pack was bigger than normal cuz aquatic animals gotta catch up!)
5. Africa Pack: Black or White Rhino, African leopard, Meerkat, Red River Hog.
Aviary: Turaco, Grey Parrot, Blue Eared Starling, Hammerhead Bat. Exhibit: Jackson's Chameleon or Panther Chameleon
6. Europe Pack: Red Fox, Lynx, Ibex, Puffin
Aviary: Bearded Vulture, Eagle Owl, European Bee-Eater.
7. Asia Pack: Langur Monkey, Sika Deer, Gaur, Binturong, Clouded Leopard
Aviary: Philippine Eagle, Chinese Flying Squirrel, Oriental Bay-Owl. Exhibit: King Cobra, Queen Alexandra Birdwing Butterfly.
7.5 Asia Deluxe Pack: Adds the Dhole, Takin, Golden Pheasant, and aviary species: Flying Fox, Indian Giant Squirrel. Exhibit species: Snake-Necked Turtle, Atlas Moth.
8 Aquatic pack 2: Sea Otter, Blue Footed Booby, Gentoo Penguin, Leopard Seal, Elephant Seal, Platypus, Manatee, Amazonian Arapaima, Chinese Giant Salamander.
Exhibit Species: Pacific Octopus, Japanese Spider Crab, Cuttlefish, Axolotl, more fish probably.
9. Southern Deserts Pack: Dromedary Camel, Addax, Striped Hyena, Dingo, Fennec Fox, Sand Cat, Serval (More species than normal, since they're mostly reskins. This will be common from here on.)
Aviary: Andean Condor, Great Horned Owl Exhibit: Desert Long-Eared Bat
11. Essential Bird Pack: Too many birds to choose from! I made a board here, showing species I think should take top priority. And others I'd just love to see.
12. Small Wonders: Capuchin Monkey, Wallaby, Ocelot, Coati, Mouse Deer, Kinkajou, Quokka, Bilby
Aviary: Squirrel Monkey, Greater Gliding Possum, Kookaburra, Aye-Aye. Exhibit: Honduran White Bat, Vine Snake, Leaf-Tailed Gecko
13. Ungulates: Alpaca, Mountain Goat or Bighorn Sheep, Nilgai, Blackbuck, Elk, Giant Eland, Markhor, Tahr, Musk Deer, Akole-Watusi, Przewalski Horse
14: Carnivora: Fossa, Civet, Honey Badger, Spectacled/Sloth Bear, Aardwolf, Arctic Fox, Tanuki, Amur Leopard, Bobcat, Asian Golden Cat
15: Weird and Wild: Sun Bear, Maned Wolf, Gerenuk, Babirusa, Saiga Antelope, Proboscis Monkey, Gelada, Potoo Bird, Mata Mata Turtle, Coconut Crab.
I think I managed to sneak all the fan-favorites in here! What do you guys think? What seems likely? What would you change?
