NA Trash/Street Animal Pack

I am fully aware this is probably not going to happen because these aren't animals typically found in zoos (at least I have never seen them in zoos) but I would love to see North American Trash Animals pack. Some of the animals I would love to see in it are: Skunks, possums, raccoons, rats, crows and pigeons. Just the little critters often seen as pests.

I am aware that zoos are conservatories and rehabilitation centers so these creatures that are pretty prolific and not endangered don't make a whole lot of sense in a real zoo, but would be adorable additions to a virtual zoo. Also the idea of breeding skunks and releasing them into the wild makes me smile. Also the animation team would get to look up skunks stomping to study which is 10/10.

Raccoons, skunks, and opossums would go a long way in fleshing out local areas for lower budget NA zoos, or ones that focus exclusively on local species and/or caring for injured individuals. Not sure if I'd personally extend that to rats or pigeons, or crows without dedicated aviary mechanics, but those first three are definitely winners imo.

For some zoos in a different continent, those animals are special. LOL

I have seen all of these animals in zoos (the rat exhibit was particularly good for educating both on invasive species AND on proper pet care... the zoo had an activity where kids could cut up cardboard to make the rats enrichment items, which was fantastic).

While it's not a priority for me, if support goes long enough (past this year) I'd be interested in this type of pack. These types of animals would be great for low-budget zoos. Of course, common is all in the eye of the beholder. people in NA would consider these common (I've seen them all on my property in fact) but they'd not be common say in Australia or Africa -- except rats. Rats are everywhere of course.
