Planet Zoo | Americas Animal Pack | Announce

I do agree with this. I think there's a reason Frontier chose 3 straight-up clones for this DLC...they didn't/couldn't spare the resources from PC2 and JWE3 to make a higher-effort DLC for PZ. So if they didn't choose flamingo/rhea they would choose another easier clone animal - think Guanaco or Brazilian Tapir - although they could have used the Crane rig and do a Sandhill Crane or something like that - but American Flamingo was higher requested than those others.
One clone that I think would have worked much better would be the Black Bear instead of the Coyote.
I would have swapped out the Coyote on the art for the Bighorn Sheep, blurred out the animals on the paper streamers, and shown a glimpse of the ABB on the poster with the Rhea(not a big fan of revealing 5 animals on the "teaser"). That would have softened the blow of not getting the Coati, while elevating the Bush Dog as a cool "surprise canine", and wouldn't require Frontier to have to put more resources into the DLC.
I am pretty happy we didn't get the ABB in this pack and I wouldn't need it as anniversary animal either, cause IMO there are more important choices. We got the sloth bear three DLCs ago and the Spectacled Bear in the last one, so I guess this is the reason the ABB was not included. Also, outside of North America ABBs dont seem to have that much of importance for zoos and conservation it seems. I at least never saw an ABB in an European Zoo.

I agree that I don't personally want the ABB either. However, as for general reception, including many here on the forum, I think it would have been received much better than coyote.
 
I can already predict a new pack, frontier already did Americas so what if we take a trip to the country with the most people in it.

CHINESE ANIMAL PACK it would be awesome sauce with the new 60 scenery piece based on the Mid-Autumn Festival. But lets be honest the pack will probably have the Chinese Mountain Cat...
So SOY!
 
Im literally not lying its the easiest sand cat clone

I wouldn't be mad. Might finally get my raccoon dog, and the Reeve's muntjac and golden pheasant. Though they'd probably put in the Chinese alligator.
The problem with China is that its animals have so much potential, but that'll also lead to Planet Zoo instead of focusing on asked animals to pulling some Chinese Mountain Cat, Chinese ferret-badger, and more. If we were to get a Chinese animal pack it is a must for GSNM, Chinese Alligator, and Peres David Deer.
 
country packs are unironically one of the best concepts for dlcs and it's a shame that only Brazil, India and China are the only ones that could currently work.
Theres so many animals in other nations like a Cameroon Animal Pack with a scenario in Dja Reserve with animals like Honey Badgers, African Bush Elephant {Updated Elephant}, Rock Hyrax, Common Duiker, African Civet, and more. Another one could be a Canada Animal pack with animals like Trumpeter Swan, North American Porcupine, Canadian Lynx, Mountain Goat, Elk, and more.

Any Nation can currently work its just that Frontier doesn't want to do Nation Countries probably as once they open those doors everyone will start asking for their own country to be represented.
 
Yeah, but they all kinda fill similar roles. The tanuki would offer something a little different. Its the only canine I think thay will sell well at this point
(Goodbye, my lovely gray fox. May your silvery coat shine in PlanZo 2)
Are we forgetting about the Super Awesome Bat-Eared Fox and Jackals

You cant lie those would both hit as they finally bring an updated version for something to fill the whole African Painted Dog fiasco.
