I think Drylands/Deserts is most likely, but I wanted to be more creative than that so:

Woodlands Animal Pack
Exploring the woodlands of the world, whether temperate, dry or tropical
Keyart - Brownish colour, with devil in the foreground as the keyart species
  1. Tasmanian Devil - Temperate, Oceania
  2. Black Howler Monkey - Tropical, South America
  3. African Crested Porcupine - Dry, Africa and Europe
  4. South American Coati - Tropical, South America
  5. Wild Boar - Temperate + Tropical, Europe and Asia
  6. Greater Kudu - Dry, Africa
  7. Golden Pheasant - Temperate, Asia
  8. Trichoglossus lorikeets [WE] - Temperate + Tropical, Oceania
    • Rainbow Lorikeet
    • Red-collared Lorikeet
    • Scaly-breasted Lorikeet
EDIT: Just a quick note that there is some difference between forests and woodlands, with woodlands having an open canopy and more widely spaced trees.

Since it was pointed out a while back that the Tropical pack contained 3 habitat animals from islands, I'm going to leave the Islands thought for another time, much like Tropical

Not to copy off @Chuditch but I'm also going with Woodlands animal pack, but making it about temperate or partially temperate animals only. Key art color: Dark Green. Key animal: Tasmanian Devil

So my roster is mostly a bit different (only two of the same as Chuditch's so I promise it's not a copy/paste/piggyback situation.

Tasmanian Devil
Wolverine
Snowshoe Hare (although only this one will count for me guessing-wise, I'll also be quite happy if they used another hare or rabbit)
Spectacled Bear (also could be named Andean Bear of course)
Wild Boar
Wisent
Chamois (I've struggled with pinning down that final choice since I removed one important animal I kept putting in here, but wanted it to be another deer or goat type animal)
NON-WTE: Bald Eagle

2.5 habitat carnivores (only about 10-5% of the bear's diet is meat, so it counts but barely), so they're not totally ignoring carnivores.

The animal I removed that originally was on my thoughts for this pack: Northern Brown Kiwi - leaving it for a headliner for an Islands Pack. It won't count for me if it is included, but if it is I'll be happy as well - would much rather have that than the Chamois, but if we do get an islands pack they'll probably leave the Tasmanian Devil or Kiwi to headline it and I don't think this community can be contained if we have to wait for the devil much longer. Plus, the devil's a carnivore, a requirement for Frontier's packs apparently.

LET A FELLA DREAM 😭

This game could seriously use something like that though, I mean we only got like 2 birds last year. Which I feel like the “Frontier when birds please” is becoming more popular on Reddit and the forum. If you told me 3 years ago the game would still only have 8 bird species in 2023, especially after a TROPICAL PACK I would have thought you were crazy.

I mean it almost feels intentional, like Frontier has to be planning something with more birds inhales more copium. Even if for some unknown reason Frontier can’t do birds in Walkthrough Exhibits I could give you 30 habitat birds which would be perfect for the game. If each DLC gave us at least 1 bird I probably wouldn’t be complaining as much as I am now, but it’s starting to feel silly.

A zoo game with no parrots, toucans, waterfowl, eagles, or owls? It’s just silly.

I feel Frontier will NOT do Drylands in Summer as it's better as a scenery pack (Arabesque/North Indian/Persian theme). Therefore, if Summer will be an animal pack due to the recent Tropical Scenery Pack, you should expect Drylands Scenery Pack for Autumn.

So my guess is Highlands, although a bird pack is not impossible. They are missing a lot of South America animals, but it's too similar to tropical pack to release that right now.

Highlands/Mountain
Theme is Dark Blue (high altitude blue sky)
Animal Pack
Main animal: Wolverine

1. Wolverine
2. Takin
3. Spectacled Bear
4. Markhor
5. Saiga antelope
6. Abyssinian Mantled Guereza (Baboon will come in Drylands pack, I doubt Frontier will put 2 baboons in the game)
7. Wild Yak
8. Himalayan Monal OR Golden Eagle WE
