Honestly beaver have very low chance compard to the rest.
New 25 essential habitat animals META-WISHLIST
- Thread starter random goat
- Start date
Can I ask why you think so? I think beavers have more chances to be in the game because they could come in an North America or Europe pack, so if they don't come in one, they have a second chance.
I mainly speak about North America dlc. I think, since sea lion probably will be in such pack, frontier wont include another hard to make animal. I might be wrong, but frontier probably already went easier route with existing rig and animations for that reason (as always) instead of beavers .
Europe pack is different story. I dont see any reason against them.
Okay I'm very glad I found this thing because I have a list of lik 60 animals I want to see added. I ranked these on my personal opinion, the amount of animals already in their continent, their conservation status and their originality (How many similar animals their are to this one and how much interesting new enrichment items it could bring)
I have removed all aviary and fully-marine animals from my top 20:
1. Kakapo
2. Southern Rockhopper Penguin
3. Tasmanian Devil
4. Platypus
5. Eurasian Lynx
6. North American Beaver
7. Red Fox
8. Red Squirrel
9. Barbary macaque
10. Corsac Fox
11. Eurasian Badger
12. Golden Jackal
13. Italian/Iberian Gray wolf
14. Lar Gibbon
15. Raccoon
16. Amur Leopard
17. Brown-throated Sloth
18. Californian Sea Lion
19. Nine-banded Armadillo
20. Wild Boar
That's it! Most of these are European because I need more European animals
There should be a list of terrarium animals for players to build a reptile or insect house.
If only people read the OP...
I had some free time and decided to make a small list of similar animals (not based on taxonomy but purely on subjective appearance) and added up the votes for each. This is done on the assumption that if one of those species will appear in-game, the other similar animals would not receive so many votes (i.e. if Frontier adds a Great White Pelican, far less people will vote for Dalmatian or Australian pelicans). I only compiled species that do not have such a similar animal ingame (i.e. pelicans, foxes and sloths, but I omitted wolfs, crocodiles and bears as I assume people choose these because they want that specific species). I omitted animals that only got one vote. The results (based on the most recently updated list) are as follows:
Lynx: 59 votes (Eurasian, Iberian, Bobcat)
Deer (excl. moose): 57 votes (Red, Fallow, Elk, Pere David's, Sika, White-tailed, Persian Fallow)
Gibbons: 49 votes (Lar, Siamang, Northern White-cheeked)
Beavers: 46 votes (North-American, Eurasian)
Baboons: 45 votes (Hamadryas, Gelada, Olive)
Foxes: 45 votes (Red, Arctic, Gray)
Porcupines: 40 votes (African crested, North-American)
Ibex: 33 votes (Alpine, Nubian)
Tree kangaroos: 29 votes (Goodfellow's, Matschie's)
Sloths: 28 votes (Brown-throated, Linnaeus, Pygmy)
Coatis: 23 votes (South-American, White-nosed)
Wallabies: 21 votes (Bennett's, Yellow-footed)
Cranes: 21 votes (Grey crowned, Red crowned, Sandhill, Whooping)
Pelicans: 15 votes (Great White, Dalmatian, Australian)
Armadillos: 15 votes (Giant, Nine-banded)
Not sure if this is useful information, but I feel like it adds a bit of nice context to the original list. Also let me know if I should add any other category.

For some of those animals, I agree that if we get one, I wouldn't ask for the other because they are very similar. The best example are beavers, baboons or pelicans. However, regarding other animals in that list, I think some of them are very different and I would want both, For example, red deer and fallow deer are different enough at a first glimpse. The same happens with arctic fox and red fox or with the grey crowned and red crowned cranes.
That is why it is tricky to squeeze several species under one. For sure it works sometimes, but in the end it is too much of a personal opinion where to draw the line. I would never but the Gelada in the same boat as the baboons as an example, but are quite okay with the lynxes. So I think the way @random goat did it makes sense.
But I do see the logic @TheYeti went with. Pretty sure the last Wishlist featured several votes for Humboldt penguin, but now there is none. Probably because the African penguin roughly satisfied the need for a warmer climate penguin.

Exactly. I would prefer the Iberian lynx, I'd take the Eurasian, but I wouldn't be happy with the bobcat or Canadian lynx. Likewise the only baboon I really want is the Hamadryas, and the gelada isn't actually a baboon. You also can't combine the porcupines because there's a clear divide between the New World tree porcupines and the Old World ground porcupines. Likewise all the cranes are completely different!

It’s really interesting how this current list differs from the last one. Some species are much more popular now that they were the last time and I really like some of those new trends.
Although I really can’t understand how my beloved Red River hog is so low on the list this time. Maybe after receiving babirusa people somehow forgot about it, I don’t know. So please vote more for those lovely foxy colored hogs that are always clean

I believe that's mainly because of the recently released packs. For instance right now the list is inclined towards NA, but when we get a NA pack, the remaining NA animals will drop in popularity in the next meta list thread, purely because people will think the game won't add further NA animals. On the other hand, Asian, African, Oceanian and South American animals will be in demand again. This is just a recurring trend. Also explains why the difference between the African and Amur leopards has increased significantly, since the African Pack didn't add a leopard, people think a Eurasian pack is the only chance we'll get a true leopard.It’s really interesting how this current list differs from the last one.

Well, the Amur was always ahead of the African leopard even prior to the Africa Pack, but the gap has widened significantly.

And then there's the curious Maned Wolf, which was very high on the last list (it got to 8th place I believe?), but is so far tracking much lower than I thought it would be...at 11. Not an awful place to be but am surprised it's not higher. I guess it was on a lot of people's top 30 list but they didn't like it enough to include it in a pared down top 20 list. There's likely other examples, that's just the main one that comes to mind.It’s really interesting how this current list differs from the last one.

All added and list updated!
The list is indeed NA-heavy.
Not sure it’s been discussed here yet, but ‘Elk’ can refer to different species, depending where you’re from… which is the species listed as Elk? Is it explicitly not the moose, or should it be added to that?
