Sorry in Advance Random Goat - I wanted to do another video on the Meta Wishlists and report on how much y'all have achieved, and the other variants of said wishlist out there on the forums! Hopefully we get a much wider poll of the community, and showcase the awesome work that you and other forum users are doing
1. African Crested Porcupine

PS. I disagree with the presence of many birds and small mammals on this list since they are smaller than a green iguana. But the easiest to argue against is the lesser bushbaby. I’ve seen many footages of them being kept as pets and they are able to fit in their owners palms. This would qualify as “smaller than an iguana.”

That's my wishlist =) - It's very interesting to see what everyone is wishing for and i'm looking forward to check out other wishlists - Thanks for the Thread and opportunity to submit mine.
After roughly half a year, and following the requests made by numerous forum users, I'm setting up this thread in order to start another 'Essential animals meta-wishlist' where I record users' animals wishlists and put them all together on a meta-wishlist. Given that we've gotten 3 DLCs since I started the previous thread; this time around I ask you all to please post a list of just 25 habitat animals.
The more people participating, the bigger the sample size will be so better conclusions can be drawn. I’m writting down every user who posts their list in order to avoid having repetitions. I intend to keep this updated as much as I can. Last update: 24th January, 2022
The spirit and basic rules of the thread will be similar to those of the first one. Which means:
For the sake of keeping the same wishlist structure, I ask you to post your 25 essential habitat animals that you’d like to see in the game. Lists with anything above 25 animals will be discarded.
Exhibit animals will be omitted from the main meta-wishlist. Exhibit animals include arthropods, amphibians, snakes, other small reptiles (< iguanas), small fish and mouse-size mammals.
Flying birds and bats usually housed in aviaries will be omitted from the main meta-wishlist. Flying aviary birds include birds of prey, parrots, Columbiformes (pigeons), Passeriformes (small birds), Charadriiformes (gulls) and so on. Mainly ground-dwelling or semi-aquatic birds (mainly Waterfowl, Galliformes, Ratites, Pelecaniformes, Cranes, Penguins, etc.) will be added to the list.
Extinct species will not be considered.
As a general rule of thumb, animal species is the preferred category for animal submissions. Subspecies from already in-game animals are also accepted. Subspecies from animals that are not in-game will automatically be allocated to the superior species category. Specific domestic animals breeds are also accepted.
To simplify data collection, those answers that include several species in one slot (eg.: 1. Sloth) will be automatically treated as a single animal and added to the most requested species inside that generic animal group (eg. in this case: Brown-Throated Three-Toed Sloth). This obviously leads to an underestimation of the total key requested animals.

As stated in the rules you can add 5 extra animals, no more. You can't substitute animals from the original list even if they've been added in DLCs. Choose just 5 out of these and I'll add them.
Thanks for the submission but why didn't you post an actual list? Would have made everything much easier (there's a template in the OP btw) but anyway I appreciate that you changed it to English at least!
Sorry in Advance Random Goat - I wanted to do another video on the Meta Wishlists and report on how much y'all have achieved, and the other variants of said wishlist out there on the forums! Hopefully we get a much wider poll of the community, and showcase the awesome work that you and other forum users are doing
Yeah please you should remove 5 of the animals so your votes make it to the meta-wishlist. Won't add them as long as you don't reduce your list to 25 animals.

You naughty Leaf. More than happy to see more submissions coming and thanks for sharing the list yet again with the community!

PhD is finally over
So you will see the list being updated in the next few days.
