Potential DLCs

Biome DLCs would preferably contain new foliage along with new animals, so I'll choose a new format for them: 6+1 animals (6 habitat, 1 exhibit) + foliage.

I'll use the Meta Wishlist as a rough reference to fill the biome packs.

Aquatic biome pack "Water Wanderers"	Desert biome pack "Desert Dwellers"	Grassland biome pack "Grassland Residents"	Temperate biome pack "Temperate Occupants"	Taiga biome pack "Taiga Settlers"	Tropical biome pack "Tropical Covey"	Tundra biome pack "Cold Crowd"
Capybara American alligator Platypus Walrus West Indian manatee Great white pelican	Dromedary Caracal Hamadryas baboon Addax Collared peccary Patagonian mara	African crested porcupine Maned wolf Emu Persian fallow deer Serval Honey badger	Tasmanian devil Common wombat Wild boar Raccoon Pere David's deer Japanese serow	Przewalski's horse Takin Spectacled bear Markhor Saiga antelope Eurasian lynx	Lar gibbon Fossa Red river hog Goodfellow's tree kangaroo Ocelot Black howler monkey	Wolverine Musk ox Arctic fox Arctic hare Short tailed weasel Siberian crane

Feel free to design your own Biome packs! Am curious to see what you come up with

Also, if you think a biome pack can have 8 animals + foliage, be my guest.

Other than the musk ox and maybe another penguin there's not much left to work with in terms of tundra/polar animals--the wolverine and crane in particular are much more taiga animals. We've also...already had an aquatic pack, and I don't see another happening unless PZ decides to go full in on aquariums. The ones I think have the most potential are the ones in the middle of your chart, particularly desert, grassland, and rainforest. Finally, I'll take the bold move of including aviary birds based on the rumors of an aviary pack in December 2021 + biome packs in 2022:

Desert Pack (Old West/mining theme):
Dromedary camel
Hamadryas baboon
Sulcata tortoise
California condor
Chuckwalla (exhibit)

Rainforest Pack:
Capybara
Scarlet ibis
Red river hog
Fossa
Asian small-clawed otter
Northern white-cheeked gibbon
Rodrigues flying fox
Tokay gecko (exhibit)

Grassland Pack:
Black-tailed prairie dog
Maned wolf
Caracal
Crested porcupine
Greater kudu
Przewalski's horse
Emu
African bullfrog (exhibit)

Regarding your lists, I really like them, especially thew Persian fallow deer inclusion

I feel like some of your list might be coming in 2 weeks

I mean, I won't lie, I live Oregon, so my experience with temperate rainforest is the North American one. but to really make it work, we'd need salmon. Which I want, but I am not holding my breath on.
