Biome packs!

Inspired by the South American Animal pack thread, where it was suggested that continents won't be revisited and instead, we'll get the rosters filled in by biome packs.
These biome packs could include 7 new animals (instead of 8) along with new foliage.

Post your biome packs! You may include 7 new animals (either 7 habitat OR 6 habitat + 1 exhibit), and you may also list foliage options if you are versed in plants and trees ;)

Oh yeah I'm hoping for these mixed in with what we get from the Africa, North American and Europe packs.

Jungle/Forest is a big one I'd want:

Capybara (South America)
Red River Hog (Africa)
Wombat (Australia)
Tasmanian Devil (Australia)
Amur Leopard (Asia)
Small Clawed Otter (Asia)
Sloth (South America) - could be habitat but also works an exhibit animal.

Desert:

Coyote (North America)
Roadrunner (North America)
Emu (Australia)
Crested Porcupine (Africa)
Dromedary (Asia)
Black Rhinoceros (Africa)
King Cobra (Asia) as Exhibit animal

Deserts:
  1. Chacoan peccary: I would also accept the collared peccary for this spot, however because of the "Endangered" tag, I think this would perhaps get the nod between the two. While the collared peccary would be able to fit into North or Central America sections, and this would be a strictly South American animal, I'm not too picky between either.
  2. White-nosed coatimundi: This is a great choice for many reasons, as it's incredibly unique, cute, and has a widespread range. It just so happens to coincide directly with the collared peccary's range, which would make it either a great companion animal for that, or alternatively it would be a good representative for NA and CA if the Chacoan peccary was picked.
  3. Emu: Adds in an animal we should've gotten in the Australia pack. Ends the need for ratites (please, no rheas). Pretty straightforward.
  4. Any of the 3 wombat species: I'm not picky at all. I just want one of them.
  5. Caracal: We know we won't be getting it in the upcoming Africa dlc, so here's a good opportunity for it to be included. We still need a few small cat species in the game.
  6. Hamadryas (sacred) baboon: For similar reasoning to the caracal. It would be weird to not have a single baboon at the end of the game's lifecycle.
  7. Persian onager: These seem to be highly requested, and I'd prefer them over domesticated donkeys. You could also have the Somali wild @## but I chose the Onager because there's already two African animals in this "pack"
  8. Veiled chameleon, frilled lizard, thorny devil, banded gecko. Any of those would be fine for me.
This is the biome pack I most want, excluding them doing any kind of aquatic biome pack, which I think is unlikely.

Also, we need a lot more plants from NA, CA and SA desert regions, so this would be a good opportunity to flesh those out.

Hmm... are we counting the Arctic and Aquatic packs as biome packs?

I'd say the biomes are Tundra, taiga, grasslands, deserts, montane, etcetera. Aquatic is a biome according to PZ, but because there already is an Aquatic pack, I'm gonna assume we're not gonna revisit an aquatic biome. However, that doesn't mean we won't get more aquatic animals. Perhaps you could think of something like 'shallow waters', or 'inland rivers', or something along those lines (not well versed in aquatic biomes).

Mediterranean biome:

-Barbary sheep
-Crested porcupine
-Fallow deer
-Dalmatian pelican
-Iberian lynx
-Barbary macaque
-Hermann's tortoise (Exhibit)

There are many trees and bushes missing from this biome.

Though, that biome doesn't exist in-game. It seems to be lumped in with grassland.

It does make me think, though, that there's potential for a 'Mediterranean Animal Pack' (regional, like the SEA Pack).

For me it's a shame it was included in the grassland, but I get that they needed to simplify some things.

I also think that if we are getting long support for the game, a Mediterranean pack would be very interesting because it could bring a good mix of animals from Africa, Asia and Europe, but also a lot of trees and bushes.

Even more, there would be a huge variety of themes for building sets: Moroccan architecture, ancient Rome or Greece, Egyptian theme, traditional fishing villages from Spain, French Riviera, Italian Renaissance... We can already create some of these themes there are many missing items that would be very useful.
