DLC 19 Speculation

Agreed white tailed deer are just too common in the wild. People hunt them, they run across our highways, they are just seen all the time.
While I don’t get to see elk here in Vermont, I’ve seen them I have see them in colorodo and Arizona. Elk are more appealing therefore I see more of a demand for them over white tailed deer.

Are there red jungle fowl in zoos? And how different really would they be from chickens?
They'd look almost identical, just wild and not chunky. I wouldn't mind them, though
I mean we also have the wild ancestors of domestic donkeys, pigs, dogs etc in game. So why would it be a problem with the chickens ancestor?
Eh I’d personally prefer a Turkey, or a Guineafowl , or for Asia the golden pheasant
Yea I hear you but I raise you a Himalayan monal instead for an India pack
It's a point of view bcs in my country we are kinda tired of wild boars, they are overpopulated and cross the roads making damages and such, there is almost no person here who didn't see them in the wilds. Yet they were so wanted for PZ and I also felt they are kinda classic animals for the roster.
Instead, I would like to see white-tailed deer in PZ bcs is a special deer from a different continent I've never seen in my life
And I would be happy ALSO for the elk, it's just that I don't get the argument of "They are so common in the wild SOMEWHERE." Indian elephants are also somewhere very common to see, somewhere exist only at the zoo.
Have we already discussed the names this DLC could have?? I think it's an interesting cuestion because we already had a South American Pack and a North American Animal Pack. 
Something like "South American Animal Pack" would be very repetitive and confusing. And anyways, we are having animals living both only in North America and only in South America. "American Animal Pack" would work in some languages but in most it would be very misleading because "American" is also (or even mostly) used as adjective for the United States country. I think that "Latin American Pack" wouldn't make sense because that's an exclusively cultural concept with nothing to do with nature.
Going for a climate or biome naming is also problematic because most that would fit have been already used (Tropical, Arid, Grassland...), and anyway the places where a rhea, a flamingo and a saki monkey live are very different.

I'm thinking "Americas" in the same vein as "Eurasia" but "Latin America" is possible too.Have we already discussed the names this DLC could have?? I think it's an interesting cuestion because we already had a South American Pack and a North American Animal Pack.

I think either Latin America animal pack or Americas pack is likeliest. I don’t think the cultural significance really matters in this case. The game uses Oceania to refer to the continent, but uses Australia, which in the game logic would be a political term, to distinguish that pack.Have we already discussed the names this DLC could have??

Western Pack maybe? Since in the UK where frontier HQ is based the Americas are on the western-most side of the mapHave we already discussed the names this DLC could have?? I think it's an interesting cuestion because we already had a South American Pack and a North American Animal Pack.

Australia is an island and Oceania its continent. It is also the name of the country, but the country takes its name from the natural landform name.
I've wanted an India pack since Day 0 and given its size, I think its the one pack that could be a single-country DLC. Aside from the sloth bear, India hasn't gotten much love over the years (correct me if I'm wrong).
Here's my dream 7-species line up:
Asiatic lion (headliner)
Blackbuck
Chevrotain
Honey badger
Phayre's leaf monkey*
Indian giant squirrel
Painted stork
*almost any monkey but just to add something new to the conversation, leaf monkeys are some of my favourite monkeys - very pretty and unassuming, and in need of conservation support.

Latin America animal pack is a big suggestion. Alternatively, New World Animal Pack would be cool (and could potentially signify an Old World animal pack), although there are not Oceanian animals known in it...Have we already discussed the names this DLC could have??

Mesoamerican Animal Pack could work, too
Old and New World are (to my knowledge) incomplete terms.
If I recall correctly, New World is Americas only, while Old World is even more limited to Europe, parts of Asia (Middle East, India, China) and parts of Africa (mainly North, but also parts of West and Wast Africa).
South Africa, Southeast Asia, Antarctica and mainly Oceania and Australia "don't belong" to either of those two terms.
It can't be biome.Have we already discussed the names this DLC could have?? I think it's an interesting cuestion because we already had a South American Pack and a North American Animal Pack.

Is Latin America problematic? For me New World is worse (colonnialism). Mesoamerica is too historical, no?
Before the keyart I thought it was going to be Central America but all the Mexican-scenery hints have scuppered that (Mexico is NA).
If its not LatAm I really can't imagine.
Some people thought Western / Wild West but no because 1. Flamingo and 2. Rhea.
I wouldn't call Latin America problematic at all, but maybe weird because the term is tied with people and culture rather than geography or wildlife, which would stand out compared to previous DLCs
Don't they? In terms of wine they do, but due to its colonnial history and lens old/new world is terminology that even the wine industry is phasing out.
There was stuff and people there before Europeans arrived...
I know I'm repeating myself as this has come up before but I really doubt PZ would do an Old/New world pack, not only because the language is dated but also it seems like a lazy idea to me. Not a focused idea.
