Asia DLC 2 wishlist

Asia could do with multiple DLCs easily. I could fill at least 3 without any effort.

Hamadryas baboonGrey langurSiberian musk deer / Japanese serow

Picking an 'Asia pack' is... uh, difficult.
Let's see.

Przewalski horse
Leopard (Arabian / Indian / Amur)
Blackbuck
Golden takin
Caracal
Grey langur
Wolverine
+ Indian cobra

I guess. But as you can see, it's very far from ideal, because 'Asia' is so huge and varied.

Also if Asia will be a scenery pack with only 4 animals? That would be astonishing in a bad way -- unless an India DLC is in the making as well, and the Middle East will also get its representation. So I will focus it on northeast Asia.

Przewalski horse
Amur leopard
Golden takin
Wolverine
+ Japanese giant salamander
 
1. Lar Gibbon
2. Amur Leopard
3. Przewalski's Horse
4. Chinese Giant Salamander
5. Indian Crested Porcupine
6. Blackbuck
7. Lion-Tailed Macaque
8. King Cobra (exhibit)
 
The Middle East could easily get a pack for itself.

Other regions as well, but whether this is realistic depends on the game lifespan. If we get a general Asia pack, they could do it the same way with the African Pack, having some animals from different parts and a theme for a specific region. My choice would be:
  • Lar Gibbon
  • Asian Small-Clawed Otter
  • Przewalski's Horse
  • Gaur/Markhor/Takin
  • Reticulated Python
  • Southeast-Asian Theme
 
  • Nilgai
  • Chital
  • Gaur
  • Grey langur
  • Indian leopard
  • Blackbuck
  • Small clawed otter
  • King cobra

I mean, looking at my list we could certainly have an India pack (+ otter).
 
I'm going to try to name animals that I think haven't been said yet
  • Tibetan antelope (NT) -- In this species there is a marked sexual dimorphism, the male specimens have horns and black lines on the legs. In both sexes the coat is reddish brown with a thick, woolly white belly. The face is almost completely black and, during the winter season, in males it is more marked, since their body becomes paler.

  • Indian wild ass (NT)

  • The Himalayan wolf (Canis himalayensis) (CR) -- is considered a primitive wolf, since it evolved before the gray wolf. To this day, very little is known about the Himalayan wolf because until very recently science and conservation had considered it a subspecies of gray wolf. The research results can now be used as a database to recognize the Himalayan wolf as a new species of wolf. This formal taxonomic recognition paves the way for it to be assigned an IUCN conservation status.

  • Banteng (EN) -- Male is blackish brown to dark chestnut; female and young are reddish-brown. They all have spots on their undersides, legs, and rump.

Tibetan antelope are actually not held in captivity, as far as I'm aware none of the countries that they reside in allow their export. I also don't think another gray wolf species and brown bear species are a good idea.
