If I was a pessimist I’d argue the most worrying sign here is the coyote was deemed to be the most charismatic animal in the roster to be the poster child.

We can see at least there’s a caprid, a rhea and a flamingo. But doesn’t bode too well for the NWM or a coati that the coyote is ‘enticing’ animal that Frontier felt would draw people to this pack.

Coyote to me makes perfect sense as a headliner, literally everyone knows what that is and its assosciation with American deserts. Yes it looks similar to a wolf but that didn't stop Eurasia from having the Wisent which is also similar to another animal we had.

Ok, so my guess:

“Americas Pack”
  1. Coyote 🌟
  2. Greater Rhea
  3. American flamingo
  4. Bighorn sheep
  5. White faced saki
  6. Coati (maybe)
  7. Ocelot (maybe)
I’ll admit last two are a toss up, but I am feeling confident on the first 5. Either way while this is clone heavy (and I really think the coyote and bighorn should be something else) but I genuinely can’t believe I finally have birds for the Americas.

It’s so pathetic it’s taken this long but whatever.

Also the scenery will be Mexican or Latin America inspired. Considering the coyote, flamingo, and desert sheep are all native to their it seems like a no brainer. Honestly I am hyped for some good scenery for the Americas. South America Pack has good scenery, but it’s a bit too generic and theme parky for me.

And why not? Coyote is a very well known animal and people love dogs and cats. None of the cover arts showcase a dog, so it was well picked.

I will say, considering everything we have seen so far seems very clone like its definitely possible the last 3 are more complex, similar to what happened with Eurasia and Zookeepers.

Can someone PLEASE tell me how that thing is a saki??? Either way I really can't see them picking that over the literal 4/5 more popular NW monkey picks.

My prediction right now:

  1. Coyote
  2. Greater Rhea
  3. American Flamingo
  4. Bighorn Sheep
  5. A monkey of some kind
  6. South American Coati
  7. American Black Bear OR Patagonian Mara (torn on this one)

Another damn caprid in a row is insane I'm sorry what is going on lmao.

However, two birds in one animal pack (and two for a region that was very lacking them) is a very big deal and I'm immediately more excited than I was for Eurasia or ZKs.

The canid fan in me can't be mad at the coyote from a selfish personal preference perspective, but I can totally see why others are and I cannot defend it as a good pick in the slightest.

Overall excited this time around, my expectations were low but still - I'm just happy to be getting some solid looking animals after all this time and I'm happy it's not a total mammal fest. Hopefully, there are no more ungulates/carnivorans barring a coati so we can save some room for more needed groups.
