Let's play: Design a mini-pack for a country
Let's go! What can you make with... Sri Lanka?
What can you do with... Florida?
Want to try Russia?
I was very happy when I got assigned the Israel pack! I know a lot about Israel. Anyway's here's my pack!
1. Honey Badger aka Ratel
Habitat:
This species is found all over Africa, the Middle East and Western Asia, and is known as one of the fiercest animals in nature.
2. Nubian Ibex
The Nubian ibex is a very unique looking species in the goat family found in Northeastern Africa
3. Greek Tortoise
Also known as the Spur-Thighed Tortoise, this species is found widely across North Africa and the Middle East.
Exhibit:
1. Ornate Uromastyx
This small lizard species is arguably one of the most beautiful reptiles, and even animals in the world.
So what do you think? I tried to be creative with at least a couple of my animals. I changed the Egyptian tortoise to the Greek tortoise, which is about the size of a meerkat as opposed to the size of a human hand. Also, would it be too much trouble to ask for another, more challenging country? Thanks!

Wetland themeing here we come! Aside from the deer, all of these are fairly basic.
Key Deer (Odocoileus virginianus clavium)
Quite rare in zoos from what I understand, but as an island dwarf it is easily among the most distinctive subspecies of the widespread White-tailed Deer. They are also endangered with estimates putting their population at around 700-800 individuals, which gives them a bonus in terms of conservation relevance.
Florida Manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris)
Like many people, sirenians are the only completely aquatic mammals I would like to see added to the game. They are heavily associated with Florida and the largest animal in the Everglades, making them a perfect inclusion for such a pack. Would require fully aquatic mechanics of course, but that's a much smaller feat than adding flying animals.
American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis)
Hardly needs an explanation, no Florida-themed pack would be complete without its most iconic animal.
Alligator Snapping Turtle (Macrochelys temminckii)
Probably the most iconic Floridian reptile after the alligator. They would work a lot better as exhibit than habitat animals IMO, and so I've chosen them as the exhibit animal for this pack.
Ready for another country/region suggestion when you are!
Hmm, I suppose I can give it a whirl. Can't be too bad, yeah?
Nice! The one thing I disagree with is the turtle as a habitat animal. They are smaller than a human hand IRL.
I especially love the ornate mastigure
For another country you can try... Phillipines (endemic animals only)!
Hey ive already done some for funsies so Hit me with a hard one!
Nice! After Florida, what can you do with... the Bahamas?Wetland themeing here we come! Aside from the deer, all of these are fairly basic.

What can you do with... Panama!
Notice not to repeat animals already used in the thread.
Sure! How about... Namibia?
Namibia sounds easy, but the driest subsaharan desert was mostly filled out with the last dlc, but here i go.
First we have the namib sand gecko.
Cute little buggers that use their webbed feet to not sink into the Hot desert sand.
Another Sanddweller is the golden mole. Its a mole, living in the Sand that looks like a potato.
Three good reasons for inclusion if you ask me
For the First habitat animal we have the brown fur seal, chonky bois that live on the coasts with the penguins.
And our final member are the one Kind of hyaena that understand what True gender equallity means, the brown hyaena.
In their clans both males and females have their own hirachie and leader, Who stand eye to eye to each other.
Thogether with the honorable stone licking blackbackedjackals and the beachlions they terrorise the fur seal and penguin Populations

One Panama Animal Pack coming right up!
1. Ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) - Probably one of the most iconic of the smaller wild cats, definitely an interesting inclusion.
2. Mantled Howler Monkey (Alouatta palliata) - One of the largest monkeys found in Central America, their booming calls can be heard for miles.
3. Pygmy Three-Toed Sloth (Bradypus pygmaeus) - Both the smallest and rarest sloth, what isn't there to love? (Unfortunately, I can't get an image up for some reason. My apologies.)
E. Panamanian Golden Frog (Atelopus zeteki) - A stunning and critically endangered frog that is completely endemic to Panama.
I'm ready for another challenge, give me ur best shot >
