Well once the secretary is in, a seriema mod will shortly followed based on it i'm sure. We already have both as mods anyway.
DLC 19 Speculation
- Thread starter USzoofan42
- Start date
The hyrax easily, it's just a discount Rock hamster, who ever wants this are pinheads.
joking aside it would be the Rhea, I mean I understand why people want to, and I would not hate, but we have so many ratties I don't think we need the wish.com ostrich from South America. I do really want a Mara though, it is leagues above the Rhea, not even close.

The musk ox is easily my #1 most overrated by a long shot. They basically just require a large flat open space for an exhibit, there's nothing particularly special or exciting about them from a game play perspective, they kinda just look fugly, and have limited use as far as where one might put them in a zoo. Walrus would be my #2 but even that at least brings a very specific aesthetic, could be built for in a variety of ways and habitat styles, they might look really cool in-game, etc.
Tree kangaroo is the polar opposite of both these species. Unique looking, brings a new dynamic to the game, can be built for a variety of different habitat types/themed areas, etc.
This is why "essential" is such an odd way of putting things... I don't really think anything is essential at this point. It's more just what people really want.
Beside another SA Monkey and a pelican, but everything else can go home
Then I'd be really happy ahahah, but I doubt it
I agree, perfer a Ground Hornbill or Helmeted Guinea Fowl but I would love one
but someone wants to speak to you
You will join the owl and roadrunner gain soon
Yeah musk ox is another ZT2 animal I don’t particularly need. Pretty much for all the reasons you mentioned. I think they are cool for an Arctic zoo, but I want a bird before we do that.
Kinda harsh don’t you think?
Seen the word “fugly” appear several times recently, personally not really a fan of it
Love the little guy, but do you really see it working as a regular habitat animal? In my eyes they are really small and fly a lot so I am not sure how realistic they are as habitat animals
Please take a close look at my zoo. See here? This billboard hints at the upcoming animals. The orca since SeaWorld has them (possible), long-tailed glossy starling (likely), Canada goose (likely), turkey vulture (unlikely), and toco toucan (expected). Those animals are based on Gamer Empire's Planet Zoo Predictions and Wishlist videos.

I mean it's possible, frontier isn't afraid of doing something inaccurate, like how the Sifaka climbs or how the okapi moves so I feel the owl could be done, but the Roadrunner is more realistic.
Also have any of you guys ever seen a Roadrunner mixed with a tropical pigeon before, or is that just me.

That is up to Frontier and how they implement it, which is why I don’t think they would. Do I think a burrowing owl could work? Yeah. Same as the puffin, white stork, ibis, or secretary bird. All of these birds would fall into “close to working in game” territory.
Give us some decent enrichment items and new mesh pieces and I think it would be fine. But with the current state of things I just don’t think we would get something newish like that.
2 years ago I would have trusted Frontier with animals like that. After the Sifaka incident I kind of just hope they go with not too complicated choices, though still within categories that needs representation.
I know it'll never happen but god i do want the burrowing owl for the game lol
I hear ya man. Watching modders create flying animations and the sifaka climbs like a regular lemur is disheartening. Even if it jumps on the ground like it should I don’t know why they wouldn’t just do a squirrel monkey and save the trouble.
I’m in a bit of a downer mood over the state of things, I’m worried they aren’t even gonna add any birds in the next dlc. So even when it comes to representation we could get a South America pack with no birds again. Part of me thinks Frontier could turn the ship around, but as the way things are maybe not. We will see, mods have helped me a lot, but in a weird way it makes me more mad that even something basic like a second flamingo I need a mod for.
You know what i think is frustrating about those "complicated" choices? That most of those unique behaviours could be done if tied to a new enrichment objects. Like perching poles or elevated nests, fake snakes to stump on, a series of conected trees or trunks for the sifaka tonjump from one another. They did it for the beaver for instance.
I’m pretty sure Planet Zoo is now just the “money maker game”. So I expect the next dlc to be safe. I’ll admit barnyard had a good amount of effort (at least in the free update). I’m just getting worried this next dlc is gonna be played too safe.
Don't forget the Pallas Cat not having a animation where it sits on its tail, honestly I feel that the burrowing owl could not fly at all and it would still be perfectly fine unlike the Sifaka or Okapi, as long at they borrow I will be happy, but yeah we should have just got a new enrichment for the Sifaka or just another animal entirely (like the Squirrel Monkey or if they must have a lemur a Aye-Aye)
But it still had donkeys without correct sounds and choices of breeds based on their local butcher even though for at least a few of these animals, it almost couldn't be more obvious what people wanted to see.
The most basic pack of all time animal pack (aka the not bad just nothing special with one exception pack
Secretary Bird
Greater Rhea
Greater Kudu
Serval
African Pygmy Goat
Nile Crocodile
American Black Bear
Why is this pack kinda good
