DLC 19 Speculation

What would a 7 or 6+1 DLC be for your country or immediate area?
For me in Midwest USA would be:
  • American Black Bear
  • Alligator Snapping Turtle
  • Common Loon
  • Mallard Duck
  • Virginia Opossum
  • Sandhill Crane/Wild Turkey

I'm in New England so, I guess I'd go with...
  1. NA black bear
  2. NA porcupine
  3. Mallard duck
  4. Alligator snapping turtle
  5. NA river otter
  6. White-tailed deer
  7. EXHIBIT: Eastern box turtle

Shenandoah Pack:
  • North American Black Bear: star animal and my favorite local species
  • White Tailed Deer: only ungulate
  • Wild Turkey: 'domestic' and wild interspecies bonuses
  • Waterfowl: probably mallard, but wood duck is my favorite
  • Bald Eagle: if at all possible, this would be the star
  • 2 critters: The porcupine would be the best if its range permits. The bobcat would probably be my second choice, but the grey fox and fisher are tempting.
  • Scenery: cabins and camping stuff.

I feel like a broken record but for my country would be...

1. Southamerican coati
2. Greater rhea
3. Patagonian mara
4. Black howler monkey
5. Roseatte spoonbill
6. Brazilian tapir (alt: ocelot, but i think their range in my country is very limited, there is a reintroduction project going on right now but the brazilian tapir is a lot more common in different regions)
7. Giant armadillo (alt: black and white argentinian tegu)
 
I'm in New England so, I guess I'd go with...
  1. NA black bear
  2. NA porcupine
  3. Wood duck
  4. Turkey
  5. NA river otter
  6. Exhibit: timber rattlesnake
  7. EXHIBIT: common lobster 🦞
We don’t have alligator snapping turtles in New England. Unless they are uncommon southern of the Cape? But I did keep the porcupine, black Bear, river otter, and duck slot. I changed the species of duck to one a “little less” common in zoos. I also decided to go with two exhibit animals, timber rattlesnakes to represent some New England conservation efforts, and a lobster to represent the sea coast! Considering we already have the grey seal I’m pretty happy.

I highlighted the changes I would do in bold.
Also it won’t let me add a #8, but I have to go with another seabird, and who better than an Atlantic puffin!

Not counting exhibits, here are the habitat animals fro SA:

Capybara
Maned wolf
Collared peccary
Nine banded armadillo
Llama
Alpaca
White face capuchin monkey
Giant otter
Giant anteater
Jaguar
Puma
Spectacled bear
Baird's tapir (i assume we are counting this one as southamerican?)
Spectacled caiman
Cuvier's dwarf caiman
King penguin

Sloth (is WTE but i would count it here anyway)

That makes 16 (17 if we consider the sloth). Where are the other 7? What am i missing?
Most of those would be the barnyard animal pack animals, which are tagged as being from every continent (which is both something I disagree with regardless and annoyingly inconsistent with the llama, dromedary and Bactrian camel all being considered only from their continents of origin). As Milurian said, that breakdown is based directly on the in-game filters.

EDIT: Also the Galapagos giant tortoise is considered South American
I specifically decided to include animals based on how the game classifies them because while barnyard is the most obvious case of this is wrong you then run into issues of do I count animals where their invasive ranges are included like the porcupine and monarch, do I include things like the cassowary in asia because they cross the political but not the biogeographic boundary, even in barnyard do I include animals based on where the breed was developed or where the original species was. I opted to include everything based solely on where the game decided they were which to me is symbolic of what they intended them to be used and its also because the list I pulled this info from I designed to help me sort animals based on care requirements.

Edit: on further inspection you also missed the raccoon which is tagged as south america as well
Newt, salamander and tortoise. Which ones 3 exhibit animals am i missing for europe?

Edit: ah nvm, its the butterflies isnt it
yep its the butterflies which actually do quite alot for exhibit diversity including the only tundra exhibit.
  1. South America
  2. “39” species tagged
  3. Includes all the barnyard animals
  4. Includes the Galapagos tortoise
  5. Includes multiple species not endemic to South America
  6. King penguin still the only bird
  7. One of the largest collections of species worldwide wide and it rivals Europe in representation
  8. Only “beats” Europe due to exhibit animals
If you look at the numbers you would think South America is doing ok. Just look under the hood though, it’s in a rough spot.
Yeah south america bears the brunt of the bad taxonomy with the vague central american boundaries a high number of exhibits, some technicalities and barnyard all over exaggerating the useable south american roster.

my country is pretty big so I decided to do specifically my bioregion which in of itself covers slightly more area than belgium

Sydney basin animal pack:
  • eastern grey kangaroo
  • superb lyrebird
  • lace monitor
  • australian brushturkey
  • brush tailed rockwallaby
  • common brushtail possum
  • long nosed bandicoot
  • red bellied black snake

Bushturkey
This is a crazy-looking animal and may have just become one of my Australian faves.

Similar case for me (same country obviously), so it also makes sense for me to centre my pack around my local bioregion

Flinders-Lofty Animal Pack:
  1. Short-beaked Echidna
  2. Chuditch
  3. Southern Brown Bandicoot
  4. Common Brushtail Possum
  5. Yellow-footed Rock-wallaby
  6. Western Grey Kangaroo
  7. Lace Monitor
  8. Carpet Python [E]
 
Uh, which carpets do you have around?
Carpet pythons in the Flinders Ranges are usually considered to be inland carpet pythons (M. s. metcalfei), but I left it unspecified given there’s actually been no genetic work done and it’s been proposed that they may be something different, or potentially even part of M. imbricata (southwestern carpet python) rather than M. spilota.

Ah yeah, i heard about carpet Python taxonomy still not being worked out quite yet.
My favorites probably are bredl, that rich earthy red paired with the tan is just so beautiful. Although cheynei is hard to beat, has to be one of the most stunning snakes, and animals in general, on the planet

The Flinders ones (whatever they are) are probably my favourites purely because of local bias, but bredli and the classic M. s. spilota/diamond python are both really high up there for me too. Such cool snakes, I’d really love to have any of them in the game (especially given carpets are the “basic” python to me).

Yeah carpets are really cool! They are a top choice (well bredl and jungle) for me when i eventually going to keep a snake. Dumerils boa, and super dwarf retics are the others.
But first i either have to get my own place or convince my parents to let me store frozen rats in the freezer, and im not quite sure which is the more likely thing haha
