Predictions for a Jungles Animal Pack in 2023

The newly announced Grasslands Animal Pack is a sensational new DLC, but I have had an idea of a "Jungles Animal Pack" with a similar template. This jungle-themed animal pack will follow the theme of biomes, the DLC in particular will feature animals from our planet's jungles and tropical rainforests.
I am going to follow the structure of the Grasslands Animal Pack with 7 habitat animals and 5 related exhibit species that will use the walkthrough exhibit from Update 1.11.

The following species will be included -

Habitat Species:


Fossa

Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo

Coquerel's Sifaka

Red River Hog

South American Coati

Geoffroy's Spider Monkey

Fishing Cat

Exhibit Species:

Scarlet Macaw

Hyacinth Macaw

Great Green Macaw

Blue and Yellow Macaw

Green-Winged Macaw

2D signs for each of the animals

Ideas for Plant Life:

Rafflesia
Rattan Palm
Tiger Grass
Lobster Claw
Monkey Brush
Heliconia
Achiote
Cacao Tree
Durian Tree
Carnauba Palm
Banana Tree
Water Lettuce
Dumb Cane
Tree Philodendron

Let me know below if there is anything you would change to make a perfect Jungles Animal Pack

I like the idea I definitely think the animal packs will mainly take a biome theme as we've seen (Hopefully with the exception of an avian and aquarium pack, A man can dream right?)
 
I would love something like this. Here's my lineup:
  • Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo
  • Fossa
  • Red River Hog
  • Geoffroy's Spider Monkey
  • Mantled Guereza
  • White-Nosed Coati
  • Bald Uakari
  • Hoffmann's Two-Toed Sloth (walkthough exhibit)
 
I’d suggest for a Rainforests or Tropical Pack, my ideal roster would be:

• Two Toed Sloth
• Red River Hog
• Goodfellow’s Tree Kangaroo
• Fishing Cat
• Golden Lion Tamarin
• Mantled Guereza
• Sumatran Rhinoceros
• Rainbow Lorikeet, Black Capped Lory, Dusky Lory, Citrine Lorikeet, Galah (WE)

I love the idea of macaws, but I’m sceptical about such big birds being added using the current walkthrough exhibit mechanics. I think lorikeets/small parrots would fit best these exhibit mechanics in their current state!
 
Well, my current ideal Tropical Woodlands Animal Pack looks a bit like:
  • Red River Hog
  • Lar Gibbon
  • Spider Monkey
  • Ocelot
  • Red Junglefowl
Bare in mind, I work under the idea that other animals will be added in other packs (Coati in a Daylight Pack, Fossa in the Islands Animal Pack etc.).

Here's my suggestion

Ex: Macaws and toucans
You've posted this a few times already... and I'm confused. Are you suggesting they'll start adding multiple exhibit animals? I'm going to assume you're doing this because of the butterflies in the Grassland pack, but multiple recolors is probably not the same as making completely different species of birds, with vastly different models... I can see them adding multiple macaws or multiple toucans, but not both.
 
  • Coudamundi OR Sloth
  • Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo
  • Red River Hog
  • Fossa OR Ocelot
  • Tropical primate of your choice, though I prefer the Angolan Colobus or the Coquerel's Sifaka
  • Agouti
  • Indian Gaur OR Sumatran Rhinoceros
  • Exhibit or WE - Malaysian Flying Fox OR King Cobra OR Macaws OR Toucans
 
I'd go with something like this:
  1. Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo
  2. Hoffman's Two-toed Sloth
  3. Red-rumped Agouti
  4. Golden Lion Tamarin
  5. Geoffroy's Spider Monkey
  6. Fossa
  7. Red River Hog
  8. Scarlet Macaw [WE]
  9. Blue-and-yellow Macaw [WE]
  10. Military Macaw [WE]
Heavy focus on South America, as there should be. I also chose three species of macaw that could all use the same model (all bare-faced and in the genus Ara) in a similar fashion to the butterflies in the Grasslands Animal Pack - I believe they may continue to use this method going forward to help fill out the walkthrough exhibits.

If the tree kangaroo and fossa come in an islands pack, replace them with crocodile monitor and South American coati.
 
Is so hard to come up with a Rainforest pack that feels fully complete. If i have to go for a tropical or jungle pack with the animals i want the most in the game it would be something like:

1. Ocelot
2. Red river hog
3. Howler monkey
4. Mantled guereza
5. Scarlet ibis (harpy eagle would be my n°1 pick but oh well... Frontier and birds)
6. Two toed sloth
7. South american coati
8. WE: Macaw mix (scarlet, blue and yellow, hyacinth) or toucan mix (or both, frontier likes to surprises us so a WE exhibit with mixed species would be cool). The most realistic option are hummingbirds though

I don't personally see a pack like this one very likely mostly because it has two primates, is high on hervibores and low on carnivores, and most animals are from SA, but who knows. One can dream.

But no rainforest pack is complete without birds. Also the green anaconda, southern tamandua, golden lion tamarin, spider monkey, bald uakari, sumatran rhino and a lot more...

i think it would be nice to have two tropical packs that complement each other, like a rainforest pack with an island pack, that way we can also get some tropical animals in an islands pack (tree kangaroo, fossa, sumatran rhino, kiwi, tasmanian devil)
 
My second idea is focused on improving the diversity of animals from South America, so it's THE AMAZON animal pack! With two W.E. for birds and the longest reptile for Planet Zoo: the green anaconda. I'm not sure if Green Anaconda can be a habitat animal instead an exhibit animal because its large size.

I think there wont be any habitat snakes because they would be so hard to animate correctly while moving around
