More Splash Screens!

Time to revive this thread.

It certainly has been awhile since we've gotten a splash screen, amiright? Currently, we have 6:
  • Common ostrich running - base game
  • Baby African elephant destroying logo - base game
  • Mandrill sniffing "screen" - base game
  • Polar bear wiping snow off "screen" - Arctic DLC
  • Red kangaroo kicking logo - Australia DLC
  • Grey seal barking at us - Aquatic DLC

Y'all, I want more. I want at least 1 splash screen per DLC. We're missing:
  1. Deluxe DLC
  2. South America DLC
  3. Southeast Asia animal pack
  4. Africa DLC
  5. North America animal pack
  6. Europe DLC
  7. Wetlands animal pack
  8. Conservation DLC
  9. Twilight DLC
  10. Grasslands animal pack

Now, in y'all's opinion, how do you picture them occuring? Here's what I'd do:
  1. South America - I'd want some capuchins walk onto the screen and start climbing around the logo, jumping, etc. Then they all run off
  2. Africa - I think that having a rhino charge at the logo would be fun, then back up last minute, like it's hesitating
  3. Deluxe - I can see a Komodo dragon creep it's way into view, stick out its tongue a couple times, then creep off
  4. Conservation - I can picture a horse bucking, then trotting off
  5. Wetlands - some otters are swimming around the logo then swim off
  6. Twilight - a raccoon pops up into view and stares at the camera for a bit, then ducks back down
  7. North America - some beavers begin bringing wood and mud and cover the screen
  8. Southeast Asia - some babirusas see each other and start fighting, then they run off
  9. Europe - a lynx jumps on top of the globe and starts grooming itself, then hops down and leaves
  10. Grasslands - a bunch of butterflies start "migrating" across the screen
Now, if we get 2 screens per DLC, then (in no particular order):
  1. Aquatic 2 - penguins slide into view onto the other side
  2. South America 2 - llamas come and spit at the camera
  3. Arctic 2 - a wolf is seen lying down, it yawns, them gets up and leaves
  4. Deluxe 2 - gazelles jump over the logo
  5. Africa 2 - some meerkats appear and stand up, synchronized, then go back down and run away
  6. Conservation 2 - a leopard pounces on the globe, then starts playing with it
  7. Twilight 2 - red foxes are pouncing and playing
  8. Wetlands 2 - some lechwes walk across the screen
  9. North America 2 - a moose walks into view, stops, sees the screen, then runs towards it and knocks it down
  10. Australia 2 - a koala is seen grabbing onto the screen, them climbs down and walks away
  11. Southeast Asia 2 - a sun bear sits down and starts sticking out its tongue
  12. Europe 2 - a fallow deer walks into view, stands still for a moment, then trots away
  13. Grasslands 2 - some wildebeests run across the screen. Then, a baby follows behind. The resulting stampede causes the logo to drop
 
Reviving this thread again. Here's hoping we get some new ones in the update, maybe 1 with the Tropical pack
Here's one for each animal in the pack:
  • Lar Gibbon: Sits on top of letters, jumps down, branchiates along the bottom of the letters, and leaps off-screen.
  • Red River Hog: Walks by and either sniffs the logo or the screen.
  • Fossa: Jumps on top of letters, tries to jump on the globe, he falls off, globe rolls away, runs off screen
  • Asian Water Monitor: Comes on screen, tries to wrestle down the R, knocks down half the logo
  • Brown-Throated Three-Toed Sloth: Comes down and gets REALLY close to the screen, reaches out and touches it, knocking it over/tilting it
 
I love them partly because normally it is one of the only surprises really left on release day and even then you might not see the new one for a while. Also the screens aren't always related to the DLC content so we could see one not related to the animals in the pack. E.g. a mixed band of lemurs playing all over the globe or a crane puncturing the globe with its beak and getting it stuck.... ideas are endless!
