Opinions on a Forest Animal Pack?

The reason I chose the Glaucous Macaw for this is because when I saw the image below, I thought; what if the Lear's Macaw was just a regular all - blue macaw without any tinges of grey or green on it? I think that the Glaucous Macaws in the present might be mistaken for Lear's Macaws.

The forums would actually burn to the ground if we got this pack, literally almost all of it is straight up clones.
 
Not a fan of that roster. Is ok if you want those animals though but my personal choices for a (temperate) forest roster would be something like:

1. Tasmanian devil
2. Golden pheasant
3. Southern pudu
4. Howler monkey
5. Chital deer
6. American black bear
7. Kiwi
8. WE: songbirds

If tropical forests then...

1. Ocelot
2. Spider monkey
3. Golden lion tamarin
4. Victoria crowned pigeon
5. Tree kangaroo
6. Southern Tamandua
7. Southamerican coati
8. WT: macaws

That's what I was thinking 🤣 we got:
  • Reskin of a tiger
  • Reskin of an elephant, boost its another african animal
  • Yet another South American caiman
  • Cool monitor that would be useful
  • Eagle owl is great but walkthrough exhibit limits uses
  • 4th Rhino
  • Improved timber wolf
  • Macaw is a great addition
  • Frog but another poison frog

The response for this would be overwhelming for frontier because forums seem to hate:
  • Excessive carnivores
  • Blatant reskins
  • South american caimans
  • Birds of prey in walkthrough exhibits
  • Excessive amounts of a single animal
  • Exhibit boxes
  • Animals not kept in Zoos
  • Potential extinct animals being included
 
No offence, but you are not very observant.

Look at the mandible shape of the Lear's Macaw on the bottom right & compare it to these 2 possible Glaucous Macaws. (Top right & bottom left)
I get you want the glaucous macaw to be alive but its a bit much to say someone isn't very observant when they think the animal is probably extinct when that is the general consensus.
 
Woodlands Animal pack? Yes. Six habitat animals composed primarily of clones of animals we already have plenty of, with one habitat animal sacrificed for extra box animals? No...

Also is it just me or do Takins look like an Asian version of the Wildebeest?
Takin's are members of Caprinae; the goat family... Wildebeests are part of Alcelaphinae... both are part of the family Bovidae... so they are fairly closely related, but also fairly distant. In any case, if the Meta-List is anything to go by, a Takin would have been far more welcomed than a second Wildebeest... and it's hard to imagine why that would have changed.

These are the forest animals I would want for that type of pack.
  1. African leopard - tropical (that's where it terrorize gorillas and okapis)
  2. Golden snub-nosed monkey - taiga and/or temperate
  3. Elk - taiga and/or temperate
  4. Squirrel monkey - tropical

Hard pass. There's a lot more highly wished species that are more common in zoos worldwide, and also could be added as "clones".
Eg. Fishing cats, American Black bear etc
 
We really don’t need another elephant, rhino or crocodilian as I think we have enough caimans and rhinos.
Open for the monitor, tiger and coyote.
Eaglr owl would be cool when aviary’s ever become a thing. Raptors should not be WE. The macaws very much yes for WE.

To me, the last ones I wanted and/or been hoping Planet Zoo to have will be African leopard to complete Africa's Big Five, an Australian monitor lizard while African and Asian were there, and no unkeepable species (couldn't last, survive and breed in captivity in real-life). And after those, I'll let the rest of species (and subspecies) to be wanted and accepted.
