Hot takes for planet zoo

The whole of the Australia pack scenery. People seem to dislike that pack's pieces. I think they are some of the best in the game haha

Maybe is because back when i played ZT2 i spent a lot of time trying to build an Australian zoo with that vibe and didn't have pieces like that and PZ just give them all in one set lol

But regardless of being good for theming i think it has pieces that are useful in general.
australia has some of my most used scenery probably because it is very similar to what australian zoos are made of.
 
Sense I missed Tuesday I am going to count this as both this and next week's hot take, anyway

🦆Weekly Hot Take🦆
Planet Zoo is know for it's animals, and some of the coolest ones are from dlc, but for this week's hot take. You have to replace your favorite animal in each dlc with something else. This replacement can be anything you want, flying bird, fish, extinct, a mythical being even (for region packs the being has to originate from that place, then for the other dlcs its just what fits best in your opinion). What is your choice, is it controversial.
NO ETHER OR, PICK ONE

Arctic: Polar Bear = Snowy Owl
South America: Colombian White-Faced Capuchin = Manatee
Australia: Southern Cassowary = Sulphur Crested Cockatoo
Aquatic: King Penguin = Arrua River Turtle
Southeast Asia: Binturong = Francois Leaf Langur
Africa: Meerkat = African Cichlid
North America: American Alligator = Scarlet Macaw
Europe: European Fallow Deer = Dalmatian Pelican
Wetlands: Capybara = Arapaima
Conservation: Siamang = Andean Condor
Twilight: Egyptian Flying Fox = Barn Owl
Grassland: Emu = Greater Roadrunner
Tropical: Red River Hog = Geoffrey's Spider Monkey
Arid: African Crested Porcupine = African Sacred Ibis
Oceania: Kiwi = Rainbow Lorikeet
Eurasia: Mute Swan = Mallard
Barnyard: Chicken = Helmeted Guinea Fowl
Zookeeper: Sulcata Tortoise = Rock Hyrax 😉
Americas: White-faced Saki = Howler Monkey
Let's see what you have
Edit: forgot to mention: you can't get rid of a animal and add it back in another pack: for example I can't put Polar Bear in the North America Animal Pack.

My current hot take is that a lot of hot takes feel less like hot takes and more like rage bait sometimes.
Fair, though a a anger inducing hot take isn't bad, but one primarily trying to evoke bad emotions is bad. With that said I do think hot takes are good, if done with genuine opinion and not just rage-baiting.
 
Certainly a unique theme, I'll give it a go:
  • Deluxe: Komodo Dragon -> Dodo
  • Arctic: Dall Sheep -> Woolly Mammoth
  • South America: Giant Anteater -> Toxodont
  • Australia: Southern Cassowary -> Thylacine
  • Aquatic: Grey Seal -> Great Auk
  • Southeast Asia: Malayan Tapir -> Kouprey
  • Africa: White Rhinoceros -> Giant Sloth Lemur
  • North America: American Alligator -> Western Camel
  • Europe: European Badger -> Woolly Rhinoceros
  • Wetlands: Capybara -> White Swamphen
  • Conservation: Przewalski's Horse -> Malabar Large-Spotted Civet
  • Twilight: Common Wombat -> Eastern Hare-Wallaby
  • Grassland: Nine-Banded Armadillo -> Macrauchenia
  • Tropical: Red River Hog -> Pan-American Ground Sloth
  • Arid: Crested Porcupine -> Shasta Ground Sloth
  • Oceania: Tasmanian Devil -> Upland Moa
  • Eurasia: Saiga -> Chinese Gharial
  • Barnyard: Highland Cattle -> Fuegian Dog
  • Zookeeper: African Spurred Tortoise -> Club-Tailed Glyptodont
  • Americas: White-faced Saki -> Lowland Elephant

South America: Giant Anteater > South American coati
