New 25 essential habitat animals META-WISHLIST

[Erior]

It is a shame wild type aurochs are extinct in the wild, after historically being mixed up with wisent in the public consciousness (and, well, in genetic terms as well; wisent originate from auroch x steppe bison crossbreeding, and ironically enough both of the parent species are now gone... evolution IS fascinating).
But, yeah, the auroch was the cooler Eurasian large bovid, and it is a shame historic animals aren't considered for this.

Got my boar and peccary with less than a month in-between, and finally a waterfowl, and an iconic one at that. And oh boy the saiga!

If you want an aurox, why not vote heck cattle?
Those are perfectly valid

I can almost guarantee if someone gets their whole list it is because they go with what's popular.

I got 10 out of 25 and most of them this year. It was a great year for me in Planet zoo.

 

[becks474]

I Just had a Look. From my Initial Top 25 I got 18 within the meantime. From the further 8 animals I was able to add later on I got only 1. So 19 animals from my "Top 33" are now in the Game. But Not my number 1 unfortunately

 

[JW97]

I looked through the first pages and it seemed no one got all their picks. Most was a maximum of 17/20.

 

[becks474]

1. Amur Leopard
2. Dromedary Camel
3. Sloth
4. Alpine Ibex
5. Eurasian Lynx
6. Crested Porcupine
7. Platypus
8. Red River Hog
9. Moose
10. Puma
11. Red Deer
12. Capybara
13. Shoebill
14. Kirks Dik Dik
15. Somali Wild Donkey
16. California Sea Lion
17. (Giant) Armadillo I think the Nine Banded is fully okay for me
18. Ocelot
19. Caracal
20. Kiwi

5.5 (when I count the red deer AS 0.5) integrated

My +5
21. Serval
22. Asian Small Clawed Otter
23. Wombat (any)
24. Blackbuck
25. Hamadryas Baboon

Somehow I cannot cross out the integrated species of the wishlist. But 8 out of my list were integrated already:
Alpine Ibex (4), Eurasian Lynx (5), Platypus (7), Moose (9), Puma (10), Capybara (12), California Sea Lion (16), Asian small clawed Otter (22)

So my new 8 species are:
26. Echidna
27. Emu
28. Gerenuk
29. Markhor
30. Jaguarundi
31. Muntjac
32. Aye Aye
33. Pelican (any)

My only wishlist animal which found its way within the new pack was the Amur Leopard (1). I will replace it with the:
Coati (any)

I will write down my actual Top 25 here again for a better overview when the next DLC is coming.

1. Dromedary Camel
2. Sloth
3. Crested Porcupine
4. Red River Hog
5. Red Deer
6. Shoebill
7. Kirks Dik Dik
8. Somali Wild Donkey
9. Giant Armadillo
10. Ocelot
11. Caracal
12. Kiwi
13. Serval
14. Wombat (any)
15. Blackbuck
16. Hamadryas Baboon
17. Echidna
18. Emu
19. Gerenuk
20. Markhor
21. Jaguarundi
22. Muntjac
23. Aye Aye
24. Pelican (any)
25. Coati (any) (new)

So I also looked up all my lists another time and summarized it here. I have some problems to put quotes into a existing Post. So sorry for again Posting. I think every animal from my remaining animals from all Wishlists plus additions except the Jaguarundi and probably the Aya Aye still has a valid Chance to come in. Some species to a higher, some to a lower extent.

Edit: Interestingly I have Not voted for any Bear species or the Bush Dog that time. All are now very high on my Wishlist. But the Rest more or less is still very valid for me.

4. Tasmanian Devil
5. Secretary Bird
6. Honey Badger
7. Sloth
8. Kiwi
9. Moose ---> Tree Kangaroo
10. Wolverine

It is fun to see.. I'm going to look at mine.

1. Capybara (leapfrogging over my #2 for a show of solidarity!)
2. Common Wombat
3. Asian Small Clawed Otter
4. Moose
5. Amur Leopard (or any Asian, or feel free to put in with African if that's how we're going to approach the leopards)
6. Wolverine
7. Crested Porcupine
8. California Sea Lion
9. Sloth (of any variety)
10. Red River Hog
11. Black Backed Jackal
12. Cougar/Mountain Lion
13. Coyote
14. Maned Wolf
15 . Alpine Ibex
16. Platypus
17. American Black Bear
18. Lar Gibbon
19. Tayra
20. European Badger

Wow I got 16 out of my original 20. And it definitely is interesting how the lists and wants change over time. Logically these four should be my top 4 mammalian wants but none are even in my top 10 mammal wants - all 10 are animals not on this list . Coyote's not even in the top 20 mammal wants anymore.

 

[KönigDerKaffeebohnen]

1. Tasmanian Devil
2. Roloway monkey
3. Alpine Ibex
4. European fallow deer
5. Skunk
6. African Civet
7. Papua monitor
8. Rhinoceros Iguana (i want it as a habitat animal as the biggest iguana, not much smaller than a nile monitor and could even lay the groundwork for the iguanas to become both exhibit and habitat animals)
9. Chamois
10. Capybara
11. racoon
12. red fox
13. sea lion
14. good fellows tree kangaroo
15. lynx
16. Emperor Tamarin
17. wild Turkey
18. Wild Boar
19. pot bellied pig
20. Lady Amherst's pheasant

​

I got half of my og wishlist, nice!
Also man what a whacky taste i had, no ducks, this list stinks

 

[Fallax]

I only posted my original list after the Conservation Pack (and honestly if I made it today it would be completely different) but I have since gotten 9/25 which considering the timespan isn't too bad at all. Those 9 were:

1. Tasmanian Devil
2. Emu
3. Wolverine
4. Fossa
5. Kiwi
6. Red Deer
7. Raccoon
8. Armadillo
9. Wild Boar

 

[Milurian]

1 animal for my list so far has made it in the wolverine
I added my list in September so just before oceania so 1 animal in 2 packs is reasonable.

 

[Chuditch]

1. Platypus
2. Short-beaked Echidna
3. Tasmanian Devil
4. Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat
5. Yellow-footed Rock Wallaby
6. Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo
7. Crested Porcupine
8. Capybara
9. Patagonian Mara
10. Fossa
11. South American Coati
12. Maned Wolf
13. Australian Sealion
14. Fallow Deer
15. Lowland Anoa
16. Emu
17. North Island Brown Kiwi
18. Little Penguin
19. Australian Pelican
20. Perentie

So that’s half of my original 20 added to the game since 2021, nice! Also worth taking a look at my 5 additional species, given I added an extra vote to the more popular wombat and wallaby species to increase their ranking and whaddayaknow:

21. Greater Bilby
22. Common Wombat
23. Bennett's Wallaby
24. Asian Small-clawed Otter
25. Serval

In regards to how well my original 25 holds up, all but the serval and southern hairynose remain on my personal wishlist, so I’d say pretty well! There‘s definitely some species I’ve grown to want a lot more since I made this list, like many New World primates (but particularly Geoffroy’s spider monkey), the aoudad, numerous birds etc, but overall I feel my wants have remained fairly consistent.

 

[Veah]

Just 3 animals added in the 2 years since I last updated my wishlist, am I a guy with strange taste?

• Red deer
• Scimitar-horned oryx
• Red river hog

Woah, great update to this sad statement! A single DLC gave me as much species from my wishlist as the previous 2 years! And the anniversary gift was in my list too, great end of year for me!

1. Hamadryas Baboon
2. Red Deer
3. Secretary Bird
4. Red River Hog
5. Walrus
6. South American Coati
7. Takin
8. Iberian Lynx
9. Shoebill
10. Golden Lion Tamarin
11. Coquerel’s Sifaka
12. Gaur
13. Saiga
14. Collared Peccary
15. Mute Swan
16. Sea Otter
17. Blackbuck
18. Pallas's Cat
19. Yellow-Footed Rock Wallaby
20. Reeve's Muntjac
21. Goodfellow’s Tree Kangaroo
22. Mantled Guereza
23. Scimitar-Horned Oryx
24. Great White Pelican
25. Mallard

With wolverine, walrus and musk ox being in the top 10 my hopes for a tundra pack is still alive

Those 3 + rockhopper or Adelie or chinstrap penguin + Polar base scenery and you would have a pretty good Tundra DLC.
The problem is just like the Arctic pack, it probably wouldn't have exhibit animal... At least I can't think of one good candidate.

The bad new is that we already have the wolverine, so that's a blow for a future tundra pack. The good new is that after the swan, getting an eider or a puffin isn't a crazy idea, and that would make 4 animals again. And if we include alpine tundra, we could get something like the Titicaca frog for the exhibit... A tundra pack is still alive!
