I'm actually warming up to the coyote and getting kinda excited to use it. Somebody mentioned a Wild West theme earlier? Now I wanna do that
DLC 19 Speculation
- Thread starter USzoofan42
- Start date
Exciting and all, I'm actually pleasantly surprised with the bighorn sheep and rhea, two good animals. Coyote's very unexpected.
I have such mixed feelings about the possible saki. On one hand, it's a wonderful monkey, and finally a new world one at that! But at the same time, not my first or even fifth or six choice. I know a spider monkey would've been technically difficult, but the howler or spider monkey...? Much more flexible, fun, well-known, so on. Also would've much preferred one of them to the saki. But hey, maybe they'll do a two-primate lineup like they did in the last pack, or add a new world monkey as the anniversary animal since the base game lacks any. Still -- the white faced saki is a charming little guy.
Barring any more primates, white faced coati + mara would be killer!

I'm sorry. I had those packs as well. It's frustrating.
But... I'm curious... can you explain to me why you see the Flamingo and the Big Horn Sheep as something we "already have" while the Nandu is... not the Emu or the Ostrich? What makes it more unique to you?
Its noteworthy that just going off the 5 we have now, none of them are high on the meta wishlist. So either they are hiding the meta wishlist animal (likely since it could be the coati plus kinda hard to put that one on a banner) or they have just completely ignored the meta wishlist which I find unlikely. Because of this I'd say the coati is extremely likely.
I can see where you're coming from, but this time it's particularly extreme.
The bighorn and the flamingo are very obvious clones - perhaps even more than the two caimans.
And the headliner being the coyote makes me very worried for the remaining two animals... So far we only have one (or maybe two) unique animals in this pack, and only one of these is particularly prominent in the key art. This makes me think that the final two animals might be clones as well.
I'm betting props, honestly. We can kinda already make adobes and haciendas by combining the plaster walls with the terracotta roofs. The props will just make it pop even moreI should also mention that Mexico/Central American-inspired scenery pieces are such a W? Can't wait to see what kind of stuff we get aside from what's in the teaser image
Looking like the first instant purchase pack for me in several years. Finally a second flamingo along with some great Mexican scenery. Let's not revive the manatee discourse, shall we? 
Agree. coati almost certainly one of the two other slots
With ABB or ocelot (or Mara but less likely) taking up the last
Beautiful animal! Love the black stripe on his tail.
Isn't it just porting Western Theme pieces from PC to PZ?I should also mention that Mexico/Central American-inspired scenery pieces are such a W? Can't wait to see what kind of stuff we get aside from what's in the teaser image
The saki and rhea are insanely exciting, I don't really care for another flamingo or the coyote and I'm cool with the bighorn, in general I'm pretty positive on this pack (tbh at this point of the game I have given up on anything unique coming our way so disappointing me is very hard lmao). If the other two animals left are a coati and another smaller South American mammal I'll be very happy, won't ever surpass any animal pack but I'm not disappointed with what it seems we are getting.
Both games have a different style of pieces with the quality and graphics so they probably will be a bit different, but it does make sense seeing as they can get insipration from PC2.
Honestly, I've liked all of the latest DLCs.
Barnyard was fun and it introduced a whole new way of designing habitats; Zookeeper had some fun animals, filling some noticeable gaps in the roster.
As a huge fan of European wildlife, Eurasia was amazing, and Oceania might be my favourite pack of all time.
But as for the monkeys...
I've said before that I don't find monkeys particularly interesting, especially New World ones. Still, they could have at least picked any monkey with a different colour scheme, like a tamarin or a howler monkey. Instead, we're getting a monkey with the exact same colours as the one we already have. From a distance they'll look virtually indistinguishable.
This is what I'm trying to say. Any other colour would have worked better
I already wrote this, but the Coyote is actually a pretty good pick for the cover art. It probably has no connection to there not being more unique animals but more of:
1. We did not get a dog on any cover yet, unlike for example Coati, would be similar to Raccoon from Twillight.
2. Coyote is a very well known animal.
3. Dogs and Cats sells.
Oh boy, hopping in without catching up yet but MY COYOTE
It's not the raccoon dog, or American black bear, but between that and the rhea we are off the a phenomenal start

The thing that sells it to me is the white face. If it was the howler or any other monkey I feel like it wouldn't have that.
