Carnivore or Herbivore?

I wondered seeing that people those who want as animals. But I wondered if we could have DLC either with carnivores or only with herbivores and which one do you choose. Choose 10 donation animals if you choose carnivorous or 10 animals if you choose Herbivorous. Birds and flying mammals and Fish not accepted.

I choose carnivores.
1. Mississippi alligator
2. Nile crocodile
3. Eurasian lynx
4. Fennec
5. Otocyon
6. Maned wolf
7. Humbold penguin
8. California sea lion
9. Caracal
10. Serval
 
Carnivores tend to be more interesting amd popular with both the players and also in-game, so I would go with carnivore:

1. American Alligator - complete crocodilian representation
2. Puma - a highly adaptable cat from the Americas and another small cat
3. Maned Wolf - practically a Fox in stilts, but a beautiful, South American canid
4. White-Nosed Coati - a strange member of the Raccoon family
5. Fanaloka - a viverrid from Madagascar we all would love
6. Tasmanian Devil - a strictly carnivorous marsupial
7. Red or Gray Fox - my preference is Gray, but Red is a good substitute
8. Argentine Black-and-White Tegu - the "Monitor" lizard of the New World
9. Wolverine - a powerful mustelid
10. North American Ringtail - another member of the Raccoon family, also known as miner's cat
 
The thing is... I love carnivores! But herbivores offer much more interesting and varied habitats due to being able to share space. Also, food costs for herbivores are much lower than food costs for carnivores. The end result is that I often have a zoo filled with herbivores and only a handful of carnivores due to their costs.

So this is a tough question!

I'll be perfectly honest and say that though it pains me, I would choose herbivores because I know I would use them more. That said, I do love me some carnivores, that can't be understated. So:

1. Gerenuk
2. Hirola (Hunter's Hartebeest)
3. Bontebok
4. Capybara
5. Three-toed sloth
6. Chamois
7. Wisent
8. Wild yak
9. Muntjac / przewalski's wild horse / saiga antelope
10. Golden mantled tree kangaroo

In short: some antelopes to round out savannah habitats.
The capybara and sloth for South American habitats, as they are quintessential South American animals.
Chamois and wisent for European habitats (don't expect them in a European DLC, as I think those slots will go to the ibex and red deer).
Golden mantled tree kangaroo for Australia.

Yak for Asian habitats, providing a Tibetan animal. The muntjac is kind of cheating, because it's actually a southeast Asian animal and we've just gotten a pack for that. So the muntjac could also be replaced with other Asian animals like the przewalski's wild horse or the saiga antelope. I expect the przewalski to be in an endangered animal pack of some sorts, and I suspect we won't get the saiga anywhere. So my vote would go to the saiga in this herbivore pack.

I really love both, but I would choose herbivores since most of my top animals are herbivores:

1- Greater Kudu
2- Blackbuck
3- Moose
4- Addax
5- Markhor
6- Arabian Oryx
7- Red Deer
8- Roosevelt Elk
9- Impala
10- White Rhino

For me they are very distinctive animals and each one of them deserves to have a spot in the game.
 
I choose herbivores, although I also like carnivores.

It's hard not to repeat animals, although I'll try. Here is my list of 10 animals and their current conservation status

  1. Northern white rhinoceros --- Critically Endangered
  2. Dama gazelle --- Critically Endangered
  3. Somali wild donkey --- Critically Endangered /// Persian onager --- Endangered. Personally, I prefer to choose the Somali wild donkey
  4. Scimitar oryx --- Extinct In The Wild
  5. Musk ox --- Least Concern
  6. Banteng --- Endangered /// Gaur --- Vulnerable
  7. Fallow Deer --- Least Concern
  8. Saiga --- Critically Endangered
  9. Red river hog --- Least Concern /// African forest buffalo --- Near Threatened
  10. Moose --- Least Concern
