That's a good suggestion. I wasn't sure about Desert but it looks like you'd be right!
Potential for more and updated biome versatility in animals

Their Alaskan/Yukon range puts them within the Arctic Circle (darker shade on this map), so I think they could reasonably occupy the Tundra biome.
I'm resurrecting this thread! We now have 3 animals that have 5 biome tags - the already mentioned Cougar, but now also the Raccoon and the Red Fox. What was surprising was that for all that time, for the last year, the Cougar was still the only 5 Biome animal. What other possible animals might there be out there, if any actually. The Raccoon and Red Fox both were obvious choices for this, not so sure on anything else that would be a habitat type animal (so excluding mice, rats, that are pretty much everywhere)
The dingo should have temperate and tropical biomes in my opinion.
Not sure tundra would be very fitting for the black bear. On the map you shared I can literally see that the Arctic tundra treeline is where its distribution ends. Then again we have the moose in the game with tundra biome, which also has a similar range. So I don't know.Their Alaskan/Yukon range puts them within the Arctic Circle (darker shade on this map), so I think they could reasonably occupy the Tundra biome.
I think that NA porcupine would be good example of animal living in nearly every NA biome. Plus they are super cute and become very popular in European zoos with 54 holdings.
In eastern North America, porcupines range from Canada to the Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia and Maryland. In the west they range from Alaska to northern mountains in Mexico. They are commonly found in coniferous and mixed forested areas, but have adapted to harsh environments such as shrublands and tundra. They make their dens in hollow trees or in rocky areas.

This might sound like a stupid question (it might be a stupid question!) but why do you want more animals that have multiple tags for biomes? They are not that meaningful in gameplay because the foliage does not have a big impact on the welfare and rightly so and it can't really be scientific because the in-game biomes don't really match any definitions that would be used irl. I don't have an issue with this because drawing them loosely and broadly makes more sense than having 47 different biomes and they are a loose concept scientifically anyway as soon as you consider speciation, constantly shifting ecology, adaptation, climate change etc.
I'll throw Peregrine Falcons into the mix because I think they would count although I'm not sure they would make a good in game animal. I suspect you might see more bird species that fit the bill than mammals because of the lower mobility and reptiles and amphibians are obviously more temperature dependant.

I would honestly be very happy with this. Null barrier + hidden staff gate and you've got yourself wild ducks.
Because its cool to check many boxes at once
