What about platypus or tree kangaroo species!

 

[Firestar97]

Really love those. The Oceania Pack even has a few Species that I didn't know about before. I also really like the big Amount of Bird Species. The Reptiles and Mammals are great Choices as well. Would be really nice to see all of them in the Game

 

[yoav_r]

Platypus and tree-kangaroo should be prioritized IMO

 

[Aramar]

My wishlist is shorter:

1 Tasmanian devil (must-have)
2 Emu (must-have)
3 Wallaby
4 Kiwi
5 Tree kangaroo
6 Frill necked lizard (exhibit)

 

[Chuditch]

I'm just really hoping we get one or the other, but in the very unlikely scenario we get both:

Oceania Animal Pack
1. Tasmanian Devil
2. Bennett's Wallaby
3. Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo
4. North Island Brown Kiwi
5. Hawaiian Goose
6. Kagu
7. South Island Takahē
8. Tuatara [E]

Mainland Australia Animal Pack
1. Platypus
2. Short-beaked Echidna
3. Numbat
4. Common Wombat
5. Yellow-footed Rock-wallaby
6. Emu
7. Perentie
8. Frilled Lizard [E]

These all seem like great packs but I agree with the idea that we'll be lucky to get one more that encompasses both regions, doubtful two more whole ones. But who really knows how long the game will support content. Reasonable to think through next year. 2023 unlikely but not impossible, anything beyond that very doubtful but we don't know that for sure. It's just a guess. So sure, both packs would be enjoyable.

Mine would be as below. The ones with * are priorities.

Tasmanian Devil *
Wombat (common preferred but one of the hairy nose species would be fine) *
Emu *
Platypus
Numbat
Frilled Lizard
Little Blue Penguin
Kiwi (exhibit, I know it's a bird exhibit but it just doesn't make sense for so many reasons for it to be a habitat animal

Closely missing out: Tuatara, Thorny Devil, and Grey Kangaroo (the last I did not put in as the kangaroo should remain exclusive to the first Australia pack IMO).

Kiwi (exhibit, I know it's a bird exhibit but it just doesn't make sense for so many reasons for it to be a habitat animal

Why not? I've heard this before and I don't see the reasoning behind it, there's not much difference between a kiwi as a habitat animal and, say, the Chinese pangolin (both being small nocturnal animals typically kept indoors).

True, the reasonings would be applied to the pangolin as well. Still my reason, I dunno. I want the Frilled Lizard, which would be the other exhibit choice, to have the full on running/flap-fanning animations.

 

[Chuditch]

True, the reasonings would be applied to the pangolin as well. Still my reason, I dunno.

Yeah I can understand that to a degree, but I would still be infinitely more happy with them as habitat animals so I can build proper indoor habitats for them. Each to their own.

I want the Frilled Lizard, which would be the other exhibit choice, to have the full on running/flap-fanning animations.

That'd be cool in theory, but all of the ones I've seen in zoos in real life have been kept in terrariums smaller than the 4x4m exhibit box and spend pretty much all of their time clamped motionless to a branch (which is natural behaviour for them given they spend much of the year dormant in the canopy of trees). They'd just be much better suited to exhibits, but there's no way they can't add that iconic threat display to the animation loop!

The kiwi has to be a habitat animal. Have you ever seen them? Putting them in an exhibit would be an exercise in cruelty. They're as big as cats.

Someone should rename them from kiwi to watermelon.
Maybe then people will realise that they are bigger then a sparrow

 

[KönigDerKaffeebohnen]

I feel that an oceania pack is coming, i would bet next summer, especally if we get flying animals in winter.
My prediction would be something along the lines of:

• Tasmania:
• Tasmanian devil
• Benett wallaby

• New guinea:
• Greater Bird of Paradise
• Treekangoroo

• Mainland:
• Emu
• Either Wombat, Kookabora or cookatoo (i imagine one of the birds will make it into the aviary pack)

• New Zealand:
• ~~Watermelon~~ Kiwi
• Tuatara as exhibit

 

[Firestar97]

Greater Bird of Paradise

This would be absolutely amazing

Kookabora

In my Opinion this Bird just needs to be in the Game. Love them so much

I don't know who this lady is but it's an excellent reference for kiwi size.

Really don't understand how someone thinks the Exhibits in the Game would be suitable for them. I assume even if we would (hopefully) get a Exhibit that is 4 times the Size of the current one, it wouldn't be big enough to properly keep them. But I don't really know how much Space they need. I think there aren't many Kiwis outside of New Zealand Zoos. Even expected them to be a bit bigger than on the Picture

 

[KönigDerKaffeebohnen]

There are 6 Zoos in europe holding kiwis, Tuataras in 2.
And surprisingly tasmanian wombats are the Most common outside of australia

The Kiwi attempts to intimidate its predators by appearing larger than it really is. One of its trickeries is posing with tiny ladies, do not fall for it.

 

[ElectricMonk]

Not all that surprising - its the same reason that Tasmanian Wallabies are (I think?) the most common - Most zoos are in cold places (compared to Australia), and Tasmania is the coldest region in Australia... (Noting that the Tasmanian Wombat is just a subspecies anyway) I wouldn't be all that surprised if the same was true of Echidnas, for instance.

 

[Hugo98]

I don't think there is a realistic chance to get both packs.
If Frontier revisited this area (which is not guaranteed in my opinion), we would maybe a see combined Australia and Oceanian animal dlc.
I would honestly love such a pack and would go for these species:

• Goodfellow's tree kangaroo
• North Island brown kiwi
• Tasmanian devil
• common wombat
• Bennett's wallaby or yellow-footed rock wallaby
• Emu
• Eastern quoll , bilby, echidna or platypus (I don't need the latter because they are so rare in captivity outside of Asutralia but a lof of people want it, so it would be okay for me)
• exhibit: tuatara or bearded dragon

I left out any flying bird species but it would be cool to have a bird-of-paradise, a crowned pigeon, a kookaburra and budgerigars (I mean they are so common). Kagus would be also cool to have but I think they are too unknown and honestly the spcies above in my list are more important in my opinion.
