Green peafowl are from Indonesia, not India, so we're safe from that at least.
DLC20 Discussion (maybe, but why not?)

You need to look at a crisper image. In a properly pixelated version of the image, you're not only able to see the elephants clearly, but even see them clearly enough to realize that they're the Asian elephant species and not an African elephant species (because they look different).
Unless is a South Asia Pack and not an India pack...
Imagine the confusion. "I'm going to buy the South Asia Animal Pack". "You mean the Southeast Asia Animal Pack?" "No they released a new one, just called South not Southeast." "Why wouldn't they call it something different? That's so confusing!" "Unfortunately, they really really needed to include a clone elephant and a clone peafowl, so this was the only way."
If that ends up happening, I'd gladly throw myself off a cliff
The black rhino was already bad enough, we don't need a fourth identical rhino

Help me come up with a name
I had thought by first look at Americas that it would be called New World animal pack, although looking at the theme I was lead to believe it would be called Central American animal pack.
As the hinted animals seem to both be from India, this is leading to an India dlc.
Unless they are gonna throw some northern Asian animals like the tanuki therefore giving it the name Asia animal pack.

Same.
To me, the blackbuck matters even more than the coati.
I can see some arguments for not adding the coati - the difficulty of implementing new animations, for example - but the Blackbuck? It can't be that different from the Nile Lechwe we already have.
Plus, we don't have any antelopes or deer from Asia other than the Saiga (and no, I'm not counting red deer, reindeer and moose, even though they're technically found in Asia), so the Blackbuck is a must
Badger? Nah, that's a *good*ger right there.
Haha, I can definitely see why it would be unpopular.If that ends up happening, I'd gladly throw myself off a cliff

In my defense I think it visually stands out compared to other Rhinos, and it's also not related to any living species.
But the bigger reason is that they are (almost certainly) going extinct, and I see their inclusion like a little virtual monument that we lived alongside them once. Like when you read a really old encyclopedia and see Thylacines listed amongst living fauna.
Funny to say Sumatran rhinos are "identical" when Javan rhinos would be filling that roleIf that ends up happening, I'd gladly throw myself off a cliff

Rude. Fully aquatic animals are way overdue. I say they're essential because public aquariums are practically zoos as well.

I feel like having animals that are fun to build for in game is more important that having the same animal we already have 3 times but with a slightly different geographical range and possibly colour.
Lots of animals are going extinct, some of which would make great candidates for the game; the Asiatic Lion, for example, is another "clone" also from South Asia that would add something we don't have (a good lion model). Meanwhile the Sumatran rhino is the same as an african or Indian rhino but found in Borneo instead of Africa/india
Overdue but the ship has sadly sailed of them at this point
They all look the same.
Like, I can't see any difference at all.
Rhinos are all just that similar
Very excited to see that the honey badger and especially the lion-tailed macaque are on the way in the near-future. Hopefully the Asian elephants are just there for vibes.
If it is an Indian or South Asian pack, it could go one of two ways - it could be absolutely amazing or it could be very dull. Quite a few of my most-wanted animals (yellow-throated marten, bar-headed goose and Indian star tortoise for starters) would fit very nicely in such a pack. Keeping all my fingers and toes crossed for at least one of them to be included.

I guess we can agree to disagree on visual distinctions. Some Rhinos do look similar, but for me Sumatran stands out in many factors like size, color, horns and fur (and "lineage")
We can agree there, Asian Lion wouldn't be a bad choice for me.
So, first of all I'd just like to say how grateful I am that we're getting another DLC so soon, especially after the longer than usual wait time with the last few. The Honey Badger is a very welcome addition, and I'm pleased with the Lion-Tailed Macaque, I'm always happy to get more primates. But those elephants had better be on the cover art for the sake of it. We do not need a third elephant. Period. There is simply not enough variation between the subspecies to justify it. A third elephant like the African Forest Elephant or Sri Lankan Elephant would undeniably be the worst animal addition to the game since the Arctic Wolf.
We also have way too many mammals in the game and not enough herps or fish.
