Asia animals. Habitat requirements/predictions and thoughts

Hey everybody. Now with the Asia animals pack announced I thought I would do my usual tradition that helps us figure out what we need for our new animals. Haven’t gotten a lot of feedback from previous so I’m hoping this time to get responses. Here’s what I think habitat requirements will be for our new animals. Feel free to chime in or correct me as majority of these animals I am not very familiar with.

Honey badger
1-2
Small medium sized habitat
Temperature, desert, grassland
Medium amount of foliage
Bonus enrichment: lions ( if you want proof look at YouTube( nah but it would be funny if they gave us a fake lion that the badgers would attack)

Lion tailed macaque
6+
Small habitat
Temperate tropical
Large amount of foliage
Guests can enter
Bonus enrichment: I’m sure there’s Indian animals they would get from

Pygmy elephant
Large habitat
1 male to 6 females
Tropical
Large amount of foliage
Bonus enrichment with some southeast Asian animals

Blackbuck and nilgai
1 male 15 female ratio
Medium-large habitat
Grassland
Small-medium amount of folige
Bonus enrichment with each other as well as other indias

Peres David deer
1 male 5 female ratio
Medium habitat
Grassland
Large amount of foliage

Tanuki
6
Small habitat
Taiga temperate
Medium amount of foliage
Bonus enrichment with cranes and macaques
Guests can enter

I think Père David’s deer would have a significant water requirement.

It’s the most aquatic of all the deer species.

They are the only ungulates with special webbing between their wide hooves that helps them swim more efficiently.

Also they were mentioned in future community challenge dedicated to aquatic animals.
 
Good points all around
Keep in mind, I know little to nothing about the deer so please educate me
also not too familiar with the tanukis other then popculture, anytime think they would be confidant around humans??
