So just curious what are some animals that you've not given much of a thought about or know much about until Planet Zoo added them in, or that they started showing up on wishlists, or you found out about them while making your own wishlists? I've got few myself.
In looking up animals for South America, I found out about the Tayra. They are really interesting and would add to one of my favorite groups of animals, the mustelids. They immediately fast tracked into the top 25 of my want list. The chance of them making it in is extremely low, but I'm glad I found out about them nonetheless.
Another South American animal, the Brazilian Porcupine. Now, I knew they existed prior to the game but never gave them much though.They weren't even in my wishlists at first. But lately, the last year probably, my interest in them has grown a lot. It kind of started when we discussed Arboreal packs, and now they're my second most wanted Porcupine. They probably won't make it in the game but I think they could end up being an oddball pick, so it's not impossible.
The Sulawesi Bear Cuscus - this one is really recent for me and I found out about them while thinking outside the box for an island pack. They are marsupials as well. Like the Tayra, very low to no chance to make it in but I'm glad I've learned about them.
Animals added into the game I never gave much thought or discovered completely: I'm excited about the Fossa coming to the game even though I wasn't asking for them as much as most of the community. I knew about them before the game, but didn't know a lot about them and never gave them much of a thought. I'm interested in them now though and think they're a great addition to the game.
Babirusa - Another animal that I knew existed but gave very little thought to. So glad we've got them.
Nile Lechwe - to be honest, I'd never heard of this animal before. When it was announced for the pack I had to look it up to even see what type of animal it was. It's pretty neat looking for an antelope and I'm glad to have learned about them.

Although, he's a canid, so already one of my faves... Even if I wasn't thrilled about the idea of a coyote in game. One animal I really like from the game is African Wild Dogs. I start franchise zoos with them alot. But, I have always been interested in them so much so I have paw prints (a cast and original painting!) from them. Looking at the Zoopedia, the Nile Lechwe is actually an animal I love in-game that I knew next to nothing about. They're elegant and I like them for their (contrast with canines!) gentleness. Not that I'd not respect those horns!
