I will be updating this post as packs are announced
So, we all know at least one of these is making it the PZ (probably gonna be the aviary), and both of these are VERY highly requested. Now of course, you would not want a bird pack with 8 birds, some of which are habitat, right? So i come forward with a solution:
Currently, we have 14 packs, with two kinds: Scenery packs and animal packs. Scenery Packs contain 5 animals and building pieces, while animal packs contain 8 animals with no building pieces (only two exceptions are the arctic pack and the grasslands animal pack, that contain 4 and 12 animals, respecively) so it might be clear we would need a 'Expansion Pack' or smth, but honestly, this is no issue, since exhibit animals are way easier to code, even the walkthrough ones, which i suspect is how we will get most birds. I honestly don't think having habitat birds is a good idea for a bird pack, since we could get them in other packs, but fully aquatic animals which require a reasonable amount of space or are just better fit for habitats (like manatees) could probably be hard coded to never leave land, and to ship them it just goes directly into the water, and if there is no water it would not let you. I also think we would need some kind of big exhibit for potentially hostile big animals like eagles and owls. For a bird pack it would be easy, as you could divide all habitat animals into 2 exhibit animals and add an extra 4, making 20 birds, while adding one bird per other packs. And for the aquarium pack, i think dividing it to a Water Habitat Animal Pack and a Aquarium Animal Pack could work, with the aquarium animal pack having 20 aquatic animals, and adding one per pack, excluding the aviary pack. So i come with these pack ideas, you might change some animals for others, but the concept is the same.

Grasslands Animal Pack: Loggerhead Shrike
Tropical Pack: Crimson Topaz
Arid Animal Pack: Desert Long Eared Bat (Large Exhibit Only)
New Features:
Big Exhibit: Exhibit the size of a walkthrough exhibit. It can contain all walkthrough exhibit animals, plus some exhibit ones like iguanas.
Giant Exhibit: Big exhibit being 24(width)*32(length)*16(height) which can fit more animals without them getting bothered.
Big Walkthrough Exhibit: Giant Exhibit but walkthrough.
Almost all walkthrough exhibit animals can be with other birds, except shrikes, puffins, and butterflies with other groups (global walkthrough exhibits can have grassland, tropical, temperate, taiga, tundra, and desert; Only animals fitting the biome of the walkthrough can be inside).
Idk what nature pieces i should base this on.
Theoretical Water Habitat Pack:
Mammals:
West Indian Manatee
Common Bottlenose Dolphin
Beluga
Orca
Pacific Walrus
Reptiles:
Green Sea Turtle
Nile Softshell turtle
Birds:
Little Blue Penguin
New Mechanics:
Some animals are hard coded to never leave water, even while breeding and giving birth (their boxes are thrown directly into water). This includes manatees and cetaceans.
Some other animals are hard coded to never leave water, except when breeding or giving birth, mostly seals and sea turtles.
Eggs. We need animal eggs. They could also make it so that some animals can eat them.
Theoretical Aquarium Animal Pack:
Boney Fish:
Ocellaris Clownfish (Small Aquarium Only)
Blue Tang
Silver Angelfish
Globe Fish
Long Snout Sea Horse (Small Aquarium Only)
Pacific Sunfish (Large Aquarium Only)
Koi Fish (Walkthrough)
Sharks and Rays:
Black Tip Reef Shark (Large Aquarium Only)
Sand Tiger Shark (Large Aquarium Only)
Giant Freshwater Stingray (Large Aquarium Only)
Marbled Electric Ray
Other:
Giant Cuttlefish (Large Aquarium Only)
Flamboyant Cuttlefish (Small Aquarium Only)
Nautilus
Moon Jellyfish (Small Aquarium Only)
Giant Pacific Octopus (Large Aquarium Only)
Greater Blue Ringed Octopus (Small Aquarium Only)
Mata Mata (Walkthrough)
Blue Dragon (Small Aquarium Only)
New fish per pack:
Arctic Pack: Rainbow Trout (Large Aquarium Only)
STA Pack: Red Bellied Piranha
Australia Pack: Southern Blue Fin Tuna (Large Aquarium Only)
Aquatic Pack: Alligator Gar (Large Aquarium Only)
SEA Animal Pack: Common Lionfish
Africa Pack: Black Cheek Moray Eel
NTA Pack: Sockeye Salmon (Large Aquarium Only)
Europe Pack: European Barracuda (Large Aquarium Only)
Wetlands Animal Pack: Largemouth Bass (Large Aquarium Only)
Conservation Pack: Bonnethead Shark (Large Aquarium Only)
Twilight Pack: Vampire Squid (Small Aquarium Only)
Grasslands Animal Pack: Blue Catfish (Walkthrough)
Tropical Pack: Mahi Mahi (Large Aquarium Only)
Arid Animal Pack: Desert Pupfish (Small Aquarium Only)
New:
Small Aquarium: Nomal Exhibit size, it has no roof so it can be seen up from it.
Large Aquarium: Same as small aquarium, but walkthrough exhibit size.
Decorative Animals (for aquariums only): Animals like clams, corals, anemones, sea stars and other animals that don't move much can be used.
Predation in Exhibit/Aquarium: No idea how it could work, but it could make sense since sharks are often put with other fish (but they don't eat them frequently).
So that is what my concepts would be, what would yours be?
