Let's play: Design a mini-pack for a country

Wanna try Afghanistan?
For sure!

Afghanistan's national animal is the Snow Leopard, but is already in the game. I'd love to use their national bird too, the Golden Eagle, but we can't have aviaries.
The Asiatic Black Bear is great, but we have 5 bears in-game already.
The Afghan Hound has worldwide renown, but is domesticated and not a zoo animal.
I can't use the Markhor or Porcupine, as they've already been used!

So here's the 3 habitats and 1 exhibit I settled on for the Afghanistan pack.

Kashmir Musk Deer (also known as the vampire deer!)
This endangered moschidae lives in small parts of Eastern Afghanistan, and will take it's place as the mammalian herbivore in this pack.

Common Palm Civet
Found throughout Asia, these small carnivores can also be found in the province of Nuristan, Afghanistan.
The civet finally makes it's debut in Planet Zoo!

Dalmatian Pelican
Found throughout Asia and Afghanistan, this large endangered pelican is a welcome addition to our zoos.
As in many zoos worldwide, pelicans can be used in outdoor wetlands exhibits, like our flamingos.

Williams' Jerboa
This tiny creature is found in semi-arid regions at altitudes of up to 3200m in Afghanistan.
It will become Planet Zoo's first rodent exhibit!

I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed making this one, easily my favourite I have made so far.

Hispaniolan Hutia (Plagiodontia aedium)
The formerly diverse endemic mammal fauna of Hispaniola (the Caribbean island on which Haiti is located) has been devastated by humans, with only two species of terrestrial mammals surviving the onslaught of habitat destruction, hunting and introduced species. The singular rodentian survivor is the endangered Hispaniolan Hutia. Being of a similar to the Meerkat, it would not be too small to add to the game and any chance for a rodent is a good one.

Hispaniolan Solenodon (Solenodon paradoxus)
Hispaniola's other surviving terrestrial mammal and one of two living species of solenodon, a lineage of insectivores that diverged from other living mammals before the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs. Like the hutia, it is also of substantial enough size to be added to the game as a habitat animal. But make sure your keepers take caution, for solenodons are among the select few species of mammal known to be venomous!

Roseate Spoonbill (Platalea ajaja)
Widespread across South America and coastal areas of Central America, the southeastern USA and the Caribbean, the Roseate Spoonbill also calls Haiti home. This large and colourful wading bird would make a great addition to the game's limited avian roster.

Rhinoceros Iguana (Cyclura cornuta)
Almost looking like a retro Iguanodon depiction, complete with nose horn, this is one cool looking lizard. My personal preference would definitely be for this to be a habitat animal (my local zoo keeps them in a big open air enclosure), but given the other iguanas - including the equally large Green Iguana - are stuck as exhibit animals for now I thought it would only be fair if it was given the same treatment. Hopefully they will all be freed of their glass prisons in the future. This would also make the exhibit animal the largest species in the pack, which is quite the irony.

God i love the iguana, im pleading since the 30 animal tierlist for them (and got striked both times damn it)

I love the musk deer!
 
1. White nosed coati - cuteness personified

2. Mantled howler monkey - would just love to finally hear some howler in the game 🤩

3. Lowland Paca - we are in urgent need of more rodents and paca seems to be my favorite 🤩

4. Exibit: Emerald basilisk - tell me who wouldn’t love these guys in their zoos? 😜

I love basilisks! There are currently none found in zoos in my country, and I miss them

It's always nice to see what people do with island countries.
 
Hog Badger - we've always needed more small mammals, esp. small carnivores!

This one looks so awesome and unique. I would love to get it in the Game

Definitely needed. It looks so awesome. I didn't know they can sit on Branches. Frontier should make a Animation for them where they flap their Wings to go onto a Branch and also reuse it for the Indian Peafowl then.


I would like to participate. Can I please get a really difficult Country?

Sure! Let's go with Mozambique

Chacma Baboon - still no Baboon in the Game, so this one is definitely needed
(the Image won't upload for some Reason, so I'll just leave a Link here)

Southern Ground Hornbill - a carnivorous Bird that I think can be kept in mixed Savanah Enclosures

Blue Duiker - a small Antelope with a unique Fur Color

Bumblebee Cichlid - finally a Species of Fish and this one can change its Color and they are Mouthbrooders
