DLC20 Discussion (maybe, but why not?)

I'd love the BBJ to get in. For some reason, Jackals almost never get included in zoo games at least as official content. Just once I'd like to see it happen.
Wasn't the Ethiopian wolf considered a jackal? Beautiful animal, I'd love them for ZT2 nostalgia alone, but I understand if they aren't popular

On top of that its been a little bit since we got a proper ocean going species, the last one was the Little Blue Penguin which will have been two years ago by the time we get the next pack.

I'm still dying for a walrus personally. I want to make a cool Arctic area but it needs a bit of extra flare and the walrus is just what I need. Look at this dual viewing area at Pairi Daiza:

As soon as I saw the picture I knew it was Pairi Daiza. I love that spot in the park. It's absolutely gorgeous, especially at night. I slept in a lodge with a direct water-level view on their enclosure 2 years ago. Truly an unforgettable moment. Walruses are much more graceful than they appear once they're in the water. I also slept in room next to the polar bears enclosure 4 years ago but bears are way less active than walruses. I go back this year and I will sleep with the Siberian Tigers 😅

Chilling on the couch watching walruses, can life get better?

I guess it can but I've never experienced it. It was definitely one, if not THE, best day in my life. One of the things I'll probably remember the most are the noises walruses do when they are underwater. The walls and windows are extremely thick of course but you can still hear noises escaping and it's incredible. Your profile picture and mine are actually the 2 top animals on my wishlist! Hoping to get both of them in game even though I hardly believe it will happen for the walrus.

Oh no wonder you love walruses so much! What an incredible experience!

I was in Belgium in 2015. It never occurred to me to stay in the zoo! What a great way to travel! I'm gonna keep that in mind for future trips 😁

I was watching a documentary about them and geladas this weekend and made me want both of them (zt2 had both).

I've always prefered the gelada over hamadryas, but after seeing what the hamadryas fur looks like I'm not sure i want the gelada anymore.
 
Seems to get more common as time goes on. I know of a couple other zoos that offer hotel rooms, like beekse bergen and schwerin. In those cases its not as spectecular as in pairi daiza, but being over the top is that zoos whole thing :D
Even Chester has lodges now, from them you can view giraffes mixed with blesbok. Annoyingly, the blesbok are not viewable elsewhere in the zoo.

I'm gonna do this in like two months, soooo excited for it :love:
 
Australasian Animal Pack:
Underrated pack theme imo if they continue to merge multiple continents into packs I could definitely see them doing Australasia. It would be a great way to put in the tree roo then just add a bunch of popular clones from both areas like lowland Anoa, gaur, blackbuck, a pheasant, etc. Anoa specifically would be one I would love to see.

Perfect Pack idea also we all have the attention span of ants, it hasn't even been 12 hours since pack release.

Islands Animal Pack [FRONTIER QUALITY]:
Headliner:
Short Beaked Echidna [Headliner and could be used as marketing tool to reference it with knuckles]
Goodfellows Tree Kangaroo [Im starting to see a trend with only one of the animals being super requested by the Community.]
Lowland Anoa [Why not, cute, I've seen it been requested, and easy.]
Victorias Crowned Pigeon [Chicken Rig, colorful, and a requested bird.]
South American Sea Lion [California Sea Lion Rig, more aquatic beach themed animals]
Tanuki [Canine, loveable, they will nail it just like the bush dog.]
Sumatran Tiger [Just like the American Flamingo, super easy clone and I'll like a tiger with the new frontier quality.]
Scenery Pieces : I dont really care
 
I could go for another pinniped right about now. Frontier has been making “popular” packs as of late, so I feel like Coastal might be possible at this point.
Something like this could work now that we have American flamingos out of the way:
  • Sea Otter (mascot)
  • Atlantic Puffin
  • Brown Pelican (choosing this over Great White only because it's more saltwater associated, and for interspecies enrichment potential with other Caribbean species)
  • Green Sea Turtle
  • Harbor Seal
  • Scarlet Ibis
  • Walrus
A macaroni or rockhopper penguin is more realistic to be added than the puffin, but I can dream.

Hmm... i like my Islands pack better... also, isn't the Echidna exclusive to mainland Australia? Not sure we should be counting a whole continent as an island...

No it ranges into Tasmania and New Guinea so should be totally fine in a islands pack, islands and costal could be cool themes but in my opinion they largely rely on birds and other more unique animals I doubt frontier will deliver.
