Transition zones between savannas and forests can be called woodlands in the tropics and subtropics, so I guess it could work.
Odds of the next animal pack being the "Savannah animal pack"

For lack of a better term that would work. As if I wouldn’t buy it anyways
Speaking just for myself, I'm doing it to constrain it within the potentially last three packs that are likely coming. If we only have 3 packs left combining biomes makes the most sense. THat doesn't mean I want there to only be 3 more packs; I'd love to have this game have new content for years and years. If there were room, yes I'd separate the biomes completely. But it's possible there may not be room to do so. Also pointing out that Wetlands was a mesh of both aquatic and tropical as well.
The assumption by these people is that we're only getting one more year of support, so they want to get every biome in there as fast as possible. I think that would result in somewhat subpar packs, and I also think there's no reason to think support is ending this year other than baseless speculation. Plus, it would be just meta wishlist animals, and I don't think Frontier is as reliant on the meta wishlist as we think they are.
Agree.
I understand this but personally I am quite optimistic that there could be a further year of content. Of course we will know this probably at Spring 2023 at the latest but taking just biomes I could think of Savannah/Grassland, desert, mountains, (rainforest), Taiga, islands (not really biomes but also not really regions), aboreal, coastal... And there is still the possibility we could get regional scenery packs. I must say I already was optimistic before the last pack came out but with the last pack my optimism became even bigger because of the inclusion of some surprise picks. This still let quite a lot of popular animals as feature animals.
They could simply call it the forests pack or forest animals pack, for all we know.For lack of a better term that would work. As if I wouldn’t buy it anyways
That isn't my assumption. I believe, as long as demand for new DLC continues, we will keep getting more. My prediction for the game's life cycle right after launch was much longer than what people were expecting (they were comparing it to PC's life cycle) and it is still longer now, even after the prolonged DLC predictions based on leaks. The only precedent I'm basing my predictions here is the fact that Frontier likes playing with words. We already have a 'Wetlands Pack" and it could possibly be followed by a "Drylands Pack". If that happens, what could be next? That's where the highlands and lowlands/woodlands idea came from.
Even if official support continues for several more years, it doesn't have to follow the biome animal pack model to the extent that we would get 6 more individual biome packs. The style can shift again, and heck, we could even get packs based on new mechanics/features (e.g. aviaries/netting, nocturnal houses, aquaria), so it is possible that Frontier would not want to fill in all available DLC spots with biome packs. I can be entirely wrong, time will tell.
