Really like your list,especially the Guinea Fowl and Serval - I would like to have the Serval and Caracal ingame.
Just wanted to add that Servals,Alligators and Guinea Fowl can have more colour mutations - not only albinism or leucism.
Servals can be leucistic (appear full white or white with black,gray,golden markings),piebald (partial leucism,very very rare in servals),melanistic or freckled (like the lesser spotted cheetah variant).
Alligators can be albino,leucistic,melanistic and piebald.
The Guinea Fowl colour variatons depend on the actual wild species or if you are talking about the domesticated one.Here is just a small example of how colourful they can be:

"Guinea Fowl" does not apply to every species. The helmeted guinea fowl (arguably the most common in zoos) doesn't have a huge range of colours in its wild form. Domestic colour morphs are deliberately bred and don't happen by accident. The vulturine guinea fowl is another common one and looks more striking, but again, the range of colour isn't really there. That's not to say I wouldn't want them in-game, I see them in every zoo I go to, but I wouldn't get my hopes up about a huge range of whacky colours.

Also, the alligator doesn't have a sign in game already - it's called "alligator" but it's applied to a crocodile sillhouette. So you've got it backwards - the sign needs to be changed to "crocodile". That said, again, I definitely want the American alligator; they're common in zoos outside of America, too.
