Why another caiman? And another crocodilian with 0 votes!
The one we already have looks nearly exactly the same
Such curious choices!
1. Three of the mostly requested animals - including the top choice with a huge margin
2. A mid-level contender, but desperately needed to bulk up the absurdly low number of birds
3. Three EXTREMELY random af animals lol
Really looking forward to the new DLC either way!
I'll break this down as I see it:
All 3 really great choices due to popularity alone, and they all fit the theme quite well too.
Not requested, like at all really, but from a theming stand point making a lot of sense. Actually hard to pick a lot of things that are better replacements when it comes to that, they spend so much time around wetlands and water.
Freaking amazing. Finally, a new bird that isn't a ratite or a penguin!
Pretty bad choice. Almost no one wanted another crocodilian at all, and not this one. Really the Nile crocodile could've fit this theme and probably would've made more people happier. I personally would've liked another bird, like a spoonbill or pelican. But it isn't the end of the world. It's another South American animal so I'm sure it'll see use.
If I had to make a wetlands pack with the community in mind I'd keep the first three + the crane, replace one of the ungulates with a second bird (spoonbill to represent North America?), swap the caiman for a Nile/Cuban/Orinoco crocodile, and maybe swap the other ungulate for a raccoon or something? Or maybe keep the lechwe because it's pretty.

Ha, I was literally about to make this exact post. Except I was going to say "queen".
Very excited for this new era of leopard dominance. It's so long overdue.
Well considering over two thirds of the forum voted for Capybara, I wonder how we're going to proceed. One additional vote maybe?
We all thought we would have aviaries at this point tbh. RG was going to make a new list at that point. Maybe after the summer dlc it'll be time for a new one.
I feel bad for all the work @random goat will have to do for that.
Tropical by definition can mean two things. Either implies something is from the tropics or if something is from a region with a tropical climate.
However, tropical climate doesn't necessarily have to mean tropical rainforests though, as there's three types; including savannas and monsoon forests.
Tropical climate - Wikipedia
In the game, however, it refers to neither of these definitions. All moist tropical and subtropical forests are classified as 'Tropical'. That being said, there are consistency issues in the game's custom biome map and biome tags some animals have. Even with its custom rules, these issues can be fixed.
Single Source to Fix All Front-End Globe Biome Issues
As some of us know, last year there had been some complaints about the front-end globe's biome inaccuracies. One particular case, China, was fixed, but the rest remained untouched, with a patch note saying this would be the one and only change made to the front-end globe. However, since we saw...
Edit: Apologies to @random goat for commenting on something irrelevant to the thread, but felt like I had to clarify a few things.

I know how requested african animals still are.
1) We have more african animals than any other continent.
2) Despite this we still got an african pack.
3) AND on this wishlist, African animals are by FAR the most popular species (overall).
Nile Lechwe....is like your dad driving you to Mcdonalds as a child and only buying a black coffee for himself.
Why that species? Who asked for it? And what about Red River Hogs, Fossa, African Gray Crane, Secretary Birds, Baboon, African Leopard, Kudu, Addax, Oryx, Jackal, Aardwolf, Honey Badger, Black Rhinoceros? What about the DOZENS of more popular species, the community has been asking for? Why were they ignored for an African antelope species NOBODY on this forum, or any forum has ever asked for...it baffles the mind.
That felt like, actively ignoring what people want. Like how dare the community have an opinion. PZ will tell us what's best.
People have been hating on the animals packs...have some awareness WHY THIS???

None of those animals fit into the theme of this pack, except for perhaps the red river hog. But honestly those fit just as well in a tropical pack.
I agree. But that's why I suggested one. While I did get the Platypus and Asian Small Clawed Otter correct in my prediction. I only voted for Capys
