My Tropical Rainforest Animal Pack
I were thinking on aThe pack is okay, but imo it could be much much better.For one, its 3/3/1/1 for the continents, which could be quite a bit better.Imo the best way would be a 2/2/2/2 with 2 for each of the 4 continents with large tropical areas.Coati and the sloth are great Animals for south america and the red river hog for africa, but i would rearange the rest to fit the continents and taxonomic diversity.Right now we got a small arboreal carnivore, a sloth and an ungulate, so we defenetly need a monkey. Guess who also would be pretty much complete with a monkey?If your answer was tropical africa, you got the same conclusion as i did. Literally any small monkey + the red river hog would leave tropical africa in an a okay state with no more needs to be revisted. Because of its popularity, the mantled guereza would be a great pick, but any cool guenon like the de brazas monkey is also fair game.For Tropical australia the obvious answer is a marsupial, with the tree kangaroo being the most prominen choice. For another popular and common pick from new guinea, the victorias crowned pidgeon would be a beautiful mostly terrestrial bird thats often free roaming in tropical houses and a great way to fill up our lacking bird variety.Lastly for Asia, the largest continent with the smallest amount of exhibit after europe literally any exhibit animal would work. For the habitat animal, a diving animal would be nice, so my choice would be the fishing cat. We also still lack small cats, so with these charismatic critters that complaint would also grow smaller.So in summary:
At first I also thought of the fishing cat, and I think it is a very good choice, and although the idea is perfect, I would change the victorian crowned pigeon for the Sumatran rhinoceros and I would leave the iguana for the terrarium, although this is already my personal taste, but very good idea
Just about the perfect tropical rainforest list… I’d personally prefer something other than the fishing cat (e.g. another monkey or bird, though it’s unlikely we’d get two of either in one pack,….maybe giant squirrel?) but this list is hard to beat.
I tend to agree with Doran here, though I think one New World monkey is enough. I also don't think a rainforest pack needs to be a perfect 2+2+2+2 division, especially considering the lack of South American species and abundance of African/Southeast Asian species we already have and the sheer area of the Latin American rainforests in comparison to those in Oceania.
Agreed. I would prefer an SA primate to another African one. We only have 1 new world monkey, that is rididiculous. Tamarin would be ideal.
While we could easily scrap the fishing cat for a new world monkey, i doubt that it would happen.
So far we never had 2 animals from the same family in one pack and i highly doubt that that would change anytime soon.
We also need to keep in mind that frontier needs some easier to make animals like the fishing cat in the packs.
If we just look at my list, defenetive high effort would be the sloth and tree kangaroo and it can be assumed that the pidgeon, monkey and coati also will need some extra loving.
This only leaves the red river hog and fishing cat as easier options, and that again is just my rather uneducated guess, as we have pig and cat animations, including diving for cats.
Also for why i chose an african monkey over one from the neotroüics is, that thats pretty much all africa is missing rn, besides birds but thats another topic.
The moment we have the red river hog and a monkey, south saharan africa will never ever need a touchup again, besides birds, which for me is more desireable as a second new world monkey, especally when the pack allready features 2 aboreal new south american animals.

That is not true. We got it in the Wetlands Animal Pack.
The Bovidae comprise the biological family of cloven-hoofed, ruminant mammals that includes cattle, bison, buffalo, antelopes, and goat-antelopes.
And monkeys consist of several families, so it could happen
Edit: Sorry for all the links, from Wikipedia
I like this one in particular. But I think the fossa can be substituted for a new world monkey like marmoset, because fossas are not picky about habitats. Don't get me wrong, I really like fossas but I think they can be better for another pack idea.
My dream Rainforest pack is
1. South American Coati
2. Kinkajou
3. Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo
4. Sulawesi Bear Cuscus
5. Bush Dog
6. Margray
7. Golden Lion Tamarin
(E) Pink Agama Lizard!
