I really don't get the dislike for an additional canid. I mean, my most wanted animal the bat-eared fox IS a Fennec clone in a way. What I mean is the Grey Fox OR tanuki add climbing canid (which we don't have). OR the bush dog looks completely unlike anything in game. Are canids well represented? yes. but there are as many monitors as there are foxes yet people are ok with a new monitor. I get a new canid is far from essential but even a new color morph for already present canids would be nice...

I will buy the barn DLC gladly. I'd love to buy a bird DLC (I'd get over disappointment of no mammals eventually...) I'd even consider a primate DLC (although Primates are some of my least favorite animals...) IF, Frontier did a reptile DLC it would be no buy for me personally. Or at least I'd wait till it was on sale.

I would say it boils down to the same reason cats and bears are generally unwanted: we have a lot.

Don't get me wrong, I actually, even though I say I prefer other stuff, I'd love more cats and dogs and bears, but there are other animals I'd prefer.
But the base game had 3 bears, 2 dogs, and 5 cats. We then got a bear, cat, or dog almost continuously.

Now we're at:
  • 11 cats
  • 6 bears
  • 8 dogs

I thought we were at 9 dogs (If you count Arctic and Timber Wolves as seperate.)
This list shows to me that dogs need to be added more than cats! 🤪
Actually, I will admit cats are more important since people go to the zoo to see cats way more often than dogs...

  4. Dingo
  5. Dhole
  6. Fennec fox
  7. Arctic fox
  8. Red fox

For me it really comes down to that the only one that would add something different imo is the bush dog, but there are so many SA animals that have higher prio for me

I appreciate the reply. The Bush Dog is most likely but I don't even see it happening because there are animals that are more associated with SA. UNLESS Frontier does an Amazon pack...

This might be a hot take, but I actually think that we need only 2 more New World monkeys, let's say 3 if generous.
  1. The howler is by far one of the top animals to add, because it's charismatic and the males and females are so drastically different
  2. The spider monkey is energetic and would really benefit from the sadly underused brachiation system

Those 2 are the most important in my opinion...
For the 3rd possible monkey, maybe a squirrel monkey or even a 2nd capuchin (I like the tufted capuchin myself)

(sorry for double post, accidentally hit send before I was done)

Now, before y'all burn down my house, imma be honest: what else could monkeys add that are so much different? The tamarins and marmosets are very cute, but I feel like, with the amount of time they run on the branches and the fact that they're so small, it'd be kinda buggy and more annoying than anything. And unfortunately not wouldn't be satisfied with them if they were in the WEs...

So, those are my thoughts...

  1. Black howler
  2. White-faced saki
  3. Spider monkey
Those 3 really cover all the bases required without getting into a debate about tamarins belonging in the WE or not. Obviously the likes of the saki can be replaced with the squirrel for personal reasons.
