Duikers and other small ungulates - What would you like to see for the most?

I love ungulates of all shapes. We already have very nice choice of species but I can see a huge lack of small ungulates that I adore. What kind of small ungulates you would like to see in the game?

For me that would be:
  • deer - Tufted deer
  • duikers - Zebra duiker
  • bovid - Lowland anoa
  • suids - Pygmy hog

Would also love to see more small ungulates - they add variety that currently doesn't really exist in the game. These are a few I would enjoy seeing:

- Kirk's dik dik: My local zoo has these; they are one of my favourite small antelope species and can be kept in mixed-species enclosures with a number of different animals

- Yellow backed duiker: Although they are the biggest of the duikers, they look very different to most other in-game antelope and are recommended for mixing with okapi and bongo

- Chilean pudu: Would add another South American ungulate, which represents an unusual habitat and can be kept in both mixed-species and walkthrough enclosures

- Indian spotted chevrotain: While they aren't kept outside their native range, they are widely-bred in Indian zoos (one had a population of over 300) for reintroduction and they are, in my opinion, one of the more beautiful of the chevrotain species

Another small antelope I have just heard about I would love to see in the game is the beira. It weighs up to a maximum of 14kg and grows to 60cm at shoulder height. They are found only on the Horn of Africa (Somalia, Djibouti and northeast Ethiopia) and are adapted to live in mountainous desert habitats; they would add a combination of requirements not seen in any other animal in Planet Zoo. They are also of conservation concern, listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. While they aren't kept in any major zoo, they have been kept and bred in captivity before (one facility in Qatar had a total of 58 of them at one stage) and full management guidelines for them exist online, so information is also accessible.
