Completing Zoo Tycoon 2: How far we've come?

As a diehard Zoo tycoon lover I hope we eventually get all species in PZ (give or take the subspecies and very similar species)

I also really hope we get all the fully aquatics in there! They really add a ton to zoo building! I miss building for my cetaceans and sharks! Shows were fun as a kid as well!
 
Umm so i also have different opinions on different animals...

The ones i WANT in PZ:

  • Blackbuck
  • Gerenuk
  • Musk ox
  • Addax
  • Caracal
  • Secretary bird
  • Nile crocodile
  • Black rhinoceros
  • Blue wildebeest
  • Markhor
  • Dromedary camel
  • Sea otter
  • West indian manatee
  • Green sea turtle
  • Honey badger
  • Wolverine
  • Spectacled bear
  • Rockhopper penguin
  • Gelada

The ones i'd be OK with if we get them:

  • Bighorn sheep
  • Japanese serow
  • Crested gibbon
  • Striped hyena
  • Olive baboon
  • Amercan black bear
  • African spurred turtle
  • Walrus

The ones i don't care about if they make it or not in PZ (i can live without them as part of the official roster)

  • Leatherback sea turtle
  • Barbary macaque
  • Elephant seal
  • Ehiopian wolf (if we get another canid i want the maned wolf)
  • Iberian lynx
  • Javan rhino (i prefer the sumatran)
  • Emperor penguin
 
At this point of the game I miss only 7 species to feel that It’s complete. I’m not saying I couldn’t use more but with this 7 my dream would be fulfilled
 
As someone who has a Google Spreadsheet of this very breakdown, this thread speaks to me lol
Us old timers with ZT certainly lucked out with the Conservation Pack! We got Pzrewalski's Wild Horse, Scimitar-Horned Oryx, and the Leopard (which substitutes the notorious Black Leopard "species" in both games) and the Siamang Gibbon is a more than suitable replacement for the Crested one!
If I had to pick, my top contenders of the holdovers would be:

1. Markhor
2. Walrus
3. Rockhopper Penguin
4. African Spurred Tortoise
5. Secretary Bird
6. Sea Otter
7. Musk Ox
8. Dromedary Camel
9. Nile Crocodile
10. Gelada

Gimme those 10, a porcupine, a sloth and my long waited birds, and Planet Zoo is utter perfection.
 
For me I’d take
1) Walrus
2) Caracal
3) Dromedary Camel
4) Black Rhino
5) Wolverine
6) Secretary Bird
Replace the gelada and spectacled bear with the Hamadryas baboon and American black bear.
 
You neglected the following:
  • Mexican gray wolf - I know we have the gray wolf base species, but if we can have the Arctic wolf, we should get the Mexican wolf. Plus, 95% of us here agree that the gray wolf is supposed to be the northwest wolf subspecies


Now, as I mentioned in another post, part of PZ's popularity is that it's player base has a good chunk of players who have played Zoo Tycoon 1 and 2. So, I would not be surprised if we get more "legacy" animals, as they've been called. Which are a priority?

The game claims the Timber wolf is all the gray wolf, so I go with that.

Also related, which ZT1&2 animals do you think have no chance of getting to PZ?
 
I want
Blackbuck
Olive baboon
Barbary macaque
Gelada
Musk oxen
Secretary bird
Spectacled bear
Green sea turtle
Markhor
Sea otter
Walrus
Wolverine

Fine with
Bighorn sheep
Elephant seal
Ethiopian wolf
Leatherback sea turtle
Rockhopper Penguin
Dromedary camel

IDC about the rest
 
The animals that i don't think have a lot of chance to make it at this point are

Barbary macaque
Elephant seal
Emperor penguin
Javan rhinoceros
Leatherback sea turtle
Massai Giraffe
Iberian lynx

Have a high chance of being included in future packs (i consider these animals that are high profile be it because they are well known by the general public, they are iconic, or highly requested by the community):

Dromedary camel
Black rhinoceros
Nile crocodile
Musk ox
Rockhopper penguin
Secretary bird
Wolverine
Honey badger
Addax
Spectacled bear
Gelada
Markhor

50/50 chance depending on the type of packs:

Blackbuck
Gerenuk
Crested gibbon
Janapese serow
American black bear
Bighorn sheep

Could be included as surprise choices for some themes:

Green sea turtle (islands, coastal)
Ethiopian wolf (highlands, mountains)
Olive baboon (savannah)
African spurred tortoise (desert, drylands, savannah)
