How Your Most Wanted Animals Fare With Future Content

Gauging how everyone is feeling about their own personal wishlists now that Oceania has been revealed. How do you feel your favorite animals have as likeliness to make it into the game? Feel free to give examples but don't list like 50 animals if possible....also should stick to current habitat mechanics - no flying birds and no exhibit birds.

For Example, mine - and there's some highly voted omissions because this is just my own wants:

Very likely: Wolverine, Wild Boar, American Black Bear - all high profile and popular or iconic in the continent they're on. I honestly am not worried about these three at all. Even if we had only one pack left, unless it's South America/Amazon related, I feel like we'll get all three of these in that pack. Of course, hopefullly we have more than one pack left.

Somewhat likely: Howler Monkey/Squirrel Monkey/Spider Monkey - seems that it would almost be a safe bet that we'll get a couple of New World Monkeys. Also for "clone" type animal purposes, Grey Kangaroo, Masai Giraffe, Spectacled Bear (not so much a clone but still likely) also from South America, Coatimundi, Patagonia Mara A couple of Asian Antelopes like the Saiga or Blackbuck

Should be likely but it's birds - Secretary Bird, Shoebill Stork, Pelican, Roadrunner, Swan, Roseate Spoonbill, I could go on and on. At least the Oceania pack took 2 off the board.

Even/odds, possible but not likely: Tree Kangaroo - I think they could still star in a pack but I think it's just as likely we won't get them. Walrus, I'm sort of feeling like the walrus has an even chance to appear. but wouldn't be surprised if they didn't.

Unlikely at this point: Brazilian Porcupine (keep in mind this is just my own picks), Bat Eared Fox, Black Backed Jackal

Very unlikely - probably having to let go of these, if they ever had a real chance of being included anyways: - Sulawesi Bear Cuscus, Tayra,

Following the same format:

Very Likely: To be honest I Don't actually know what would be actually likely to come since the dlc packs seem to be all over the place in expectations. Wolverine, American black bear and a South american monkey like the squirrel monkey I feel has a good chance to appear within the year.

Somewhat likely: Takin, musk ox and sea otters. I'm holding onto the cold climate ideas due to these being my actual favorites. Also here would of course be a carnivore of some sort (Canada lynx would be my choice) and more african ungulates like the kudu or gerenuk.

Should be likely but its birds: Frontier either hates birds or keeps dragging them out to keep content seem fresh enough. Personally for me it's clone birds like the American flamingo, african crowned crane or the gentoo penguin.

Even odds but not likely: Animals requiring new rigs with climbing. Coati, spider monkey and tree kangaroo would be great to receive but the new orangutan brachiation shows frontier is unwilling to push arboreal species to their best.

Unlikely at this point: Echidna and another big cat like the malayan tiger. I think Oceania and big cats are done, adding animals like the quokka and Asian water monitor to these regions feels like frontier is filling the gaps to make the dlc lineup seem more unique.

Very unlikely: Malayan tapir fix

From my wishlist

Very Likely: Wolverine, Coati, Secretary Bird, Ocelot, Wild Boar

Likely: Spectacled Bear (It looks like people want ABB more 🤷‍♂️) , Takin, Musk Ox

Even: Gelada (Baboon is popular choice), Pelican, Patagonian Mara, Reeves's Muntjac, Southern Tamandua

Unlikely: Bush Dog, Collared Peccary, Pere David's Deer, Blackbuck, Sulcata Tortoise, Grey Crowned Crane, Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo, European Bison, Squirrel Monkey, Nilgai, Kirk's Dik-Dik, Barbary Sheep, Lowland Anoa, European Wildcat

Very Unlikely: Aye-Aye, Visayan Warty Pig, Mantled Guereza, Lowland Tapir, Eland, Sitatunga, Greater Rhea, Grevy's Zebra, Eurasian Brown Bear, Sumatran Tiger, Onager, Kudu, Roan Antelope, Ploughshare Tortoise, Radiated Tortoise, Cuban Crocodile, Pine Marten

Too many of my wanted animals are unlikely haha...

Mine's pretty simple:

Unlikely and Very Unlikely: Everything. Yellow-throated marten, ocellated turkey, Owston's civet, bar-headed goose, grivet monkey, golden-bellied mangabey, Malagasy giant rat, a smaller tortoise species etc.

If you drew a Venn diagram of the animals I'd really want and the ones I think we're likely to get, it would look like the headlights of an oncoming train.

I want Wolverine and I need at least two New World Monkeys, everything else can come and go.

The fact that new pack is called Oceania alone bumped up chances of monkeys for me. However it also decreases Wolverine chances in my eyes.

If we're only getting one more pack it's both more logical and more important in my eyes that it be South American Animal Pack (Call it however) which would mean no Wolverine, but in that case I would be fine with it.

But even if there's more packs along the way, I don't share opinion of many here that Wolverine is very likely. I don't think it's unlikely, but I really see it as hit or miss. There can be bunch of themes that can have it, but there's also reasonable chances that it doesn't make into any of those.

I kinda made my peace with it potentially, the things I see bumped up its chances are ZT2 inclusion, 2nd place on MW and more favorable chances for theme compared to 1st place Secretary Bird

In summary: Even

Theoretically, there could be one pack left and that would be South American/Amazon focused while the Wolverine could be the anniversary animal - as unlikely as that is. I mean, if it's just one pack left that's how I'd choose it. But we'll know more about that tomorrow hopefully and I'm hoping for at least a couple packs next year, if not four more next year.

But yeah, I'm kind of like your first sentence. Get me the Wolverine and a South American pack and I really don't have anything I'd personally be pushing.

I could envision support continuing for at least a year. In some cases I want at least one of two similar things, but I'd get both ideally. The most likely things for me have very high individual demand, meme qualities, are somewhat easy to implement from existing rigs/animations, or some combination thereof. My big 3 individual species that I will miss no matter what else is added are the golden lion tamarin, ABB, and serval. Beyond that, I mainly want monkeys, birds (especially waterfowl and flying), and a decent set from South America. If those 3 goals are met, I'd say the roster is in pretty good shape, but I would be happy to buy other packs.
  • Very likely: Wolverine, Spectacled Bear, Ocelot or Margay, Coati, Howler or Spider Monkey, Grey Crowned Crane or Secretary Bird, Markhor or Takin
  • Likely: American Black Bear, Golden Lion Tamarin, Pallas's Cat, Blackbuck, Echidna, Tree Kangaroo, Baboon or Gelada, Scarlet Ibis or Roseate Spoonbill or American Flamingo
  • Even: Serval, Indian Monkey, Muntjac or other small deer, Honey Badger, Flying Birds, Waterfowl, Colobus Monkey, Squirrel Monkey, Tamandua
  • Unlikely: Sea Otter, Sea Turtle, Jackal, More African Monkeys, Bighorn Sheep, Domestics
  • Very Unlikely: Red Shanked Douc, Ribbon Seal, Fish and Other Aquatics

  • Tanuki - was admittedly never that likely, but Temperate is still a very plausible future theme so I'm not giving up until that comes and goes. We have not yet gotten a canid this year. Unlikely.
  • Tree kangaroo - missed two perfect packs this year. I think its last real shots are Highlands or Arboreal packs. I think it's unlikely that a hypothetical Highlands pack strays too much from snowy mountains, though, and I don't think Arboreal is particularly likely at all. I think it's just missed the boat at this point. Very unlikely.
  • Common genet - Missing out on Africa 2 was probably its death sentence. Very unlikely.
  • Ocelot - I think a meaningful revisit to South/Central America is actually very much feasible after today's reveal, and there's little doubt that this would be one of the prime candidates. Likely.
  • Spectacled bear - Same as above. Likely.
  • Patagonian mara - Same as above. Likely.
  • Coatimundi - Same as above. Likely.
  • Greater rhea - Same as above, but it's a bird so it loses points. Even.
  • Bush dog - Certainly less of a frontrunner for South America. Unlikely.
  • American black bear - Hard to imagine a Temperate pack without it. I'm just not yet convinced we can expect enough packs to expect this theme. Even.
  • White-tailed deer - I can almost see it if a Temperate pack does happen, but I could just as easily see... just about any other deer. Unlikely.
  • Grey crowned crane - Missed out on too many packs, I don't see its path in but my gut says it's still more likely than most birds given that we don't have a second crane yet. Unlikely.
  • Any other bird - lol, even after today's double bird pack, lol. Very unlikely.
  • Takin - Hopefully a safe Highlands pack bet, if only we get that theme in what I'm assuming is very little remaining DLC. Even.
  • Any reasonable new world monkey - There's a small chance one might get included in South America 2. It'll be just one, at best, though, so I hope it's a good one and not some dumb meme choice like the bald uakari 🙃. Unlikely as a group.
  • Short-beaked echidna - probably missed its last shot today. Unlikely.
  • Greater kudu - Antelopes are a crapshoot, and we already got 2 Africa packs and a grasslands pack so I'm assuming it's not happening. Unlikely.
  • Serval - Same as above, just replace antelopes with small cats. Unlikely.
  • Radiated or African spurred tortoise - I'm still not over getting another monitor but not being able to get a new tortoise or two. Very unlikely, apparently.
  • Sloth bear - As much as I'd love to see support extend through next year giving us an India pack, something tells me it's not happening. Very unlikely.
Clearly, overall, I am not optimistic. I sort of just expect South America 2, or maybe Temperate or Highlands to wrap up this year, and wrap up this game.

Maybe we'll get a cool anniversary animal, at least.

I can see some merit to the opossum- more than the skunk at the very least- but I'm not super inclined to add any animals I could realistically hit with my car.
