New 25 essential habitat animals META-WISHLIST

I want the Wolverine the most as well, but what I'm figuring, Lynx and Ibex for sure. Burrowing seems to lean towards us getting Badgers, which is great. This would be the perfect 4 for me, they're all my own top 20 right now, but I think we'll get either the wolverine or badger, not both. Other thoughts were Pine Martin or Eurasian otters as well, but that's another mustelid. I'd think the Red Deer but it doesn't really fit any of the "hints". So I'm really not sure unless they do double up on the mustelid.

Right now, 2 for sure (an Ibex and a Lynx, though exact species to be revealed), and another probable with the badger. 4th is a true mystery.
 
Top 20:
  1. Capybara
  2. Leopard (Amur, African, Sri Lankan)
  3. Tasmanian Devil
  4. Przewalski's Horse
  5. Maned Wolf
  6. Gibbon (Lar, Northern White-Cheeked, Siamang)
  7. Hamadryas Baboon/Gelada
  8. Crested Porcupine
  9. Spider Monkey
  10. Wombat
  11. Sloth
  12. Rock Wallaby
  13. Emu
  14. Fossa
  15. Secretary Bird
  16. Asian Small Clawed Otter
  17. Coati
  18. Red River Hog
  19. Tamarin/Marmoset
  20. Tree Kangaroo
 
A new thread means all the data in this list is lost. Better to let people adjust a list or allow them for instance 10 additional animals.

In which case:
No list yet? 20 animals for you.
Already made a list? 10 additional animals for you.

Like that.
 
Agree it's definitely up to Randomgoat if they wish to continue, it's a lot of work! My priorities have not shifted too much, though I have bumped up a few animals and bumped down a few, but really the wolverine was the only one from my top 10 that might have even possibly made the European pack and it did not. Though I did have two from the NA pack that made it in.....

I think it’s a bit premature to resubmit before they post an update on how they are willing to proceed. They stated that there will be an update on how to handle additional votes. Something random goat deserves the right to do.

Plus it’s the holidays. I’m sure if they give us the ability to revote or alter lists, there will be a post regarding how to handle it before we force our new 20 upon them.
 
Thanks to everyone for your interest and specially those who have been understanding with how much work it takes to make this list and keep it updated.
I've been just 3 days on holidays and wow, so much new stuff to take in!

So, I've tried to consider every point that has been raised here and also my current position to reach a final decision. And my decision is that there won't be a new meta-wishlist iterarion from my part. However, from this very moment I will allow voting for 5 additional animals to the people who have already submitted a list (making it 25 animals in total). Everyone, regardless of how many of their 'essential' animals made it to the game already, is allowed to make 5 extra votes. I think this is fair for everyone.
'Why 5?' Some people might ask. Well, I took a look at the first 30-40 submitted lists and most of them had 2-6 animals that were later implemented in PZ. Also, given that we still don't have aviary animals (it's expected but not confirmed) and that we should be getting presumably at least 22 more habitat animals in PZ (assuming 2 more animals packs and 2 more scenery packs), I think 5 extra animals is a good figure.

I know some people might not like this and won't agree with this but I honestly think it's the best option to:
-Allow extra votes, particularly thinking of the people who saw many of their resquested animals disappear from the list (cause of being added in PZ).
-Keep this maybe not perfect, but very valuable list with all its valuable data (>300 participants and counting, I doubt a new one would reach this figure).
-Give me less work. Starting a new meta-wishlist completely from scratch is extremely time consuming. Allowing a specific number of votes to those that had a number of their requested animals added is also a hell of a lot of work. Adding 5 additional animals from everyone is still some work but a good compromise. I'm submitting my PhD soon so time is very precious to me right now haha.

I hope you all understand my reasoning and also my current circumstances. If anyone wants to start a new meta-wishlist I would support it and of course, participate! Submissions of your 5 additional votes are now open! The OP will soon be changed since this will now become the 'New 25 essential animals meta-wishlist'.
