Rank all animals (base game and Dlc)

Hello, using this Animal Tier List I found I ranked all animals in game

The bottom two tiers explain themselves but I do want to state that just because it's above the bottom tiers that does not mean I don't think theirs animals in it that don't needs a remake/remaster, in fact, all tiers beside the "🐐" tier has a few animals I feel need a need a remake/remaster, anywho what's your ranking off all animals in game. Here is a link to the tier list I used:
Have fun 🤗

Edit: rate animals based off of how much you like them, how useful they are, etc. You can rank them by another criteria, but state what that criteria is.

I will probably discontinue this thread if one like it exsit

I ment to put the Pygmy Hippo in the bottom of "great" tier (I do think it needs a remake though, it is way to fat).

Edit: I am bumping the Pygmy Hippo up, now it's placed between the Addax and Caiman, I am also bumping the snail up to great tier in between the Axolotl and Arctic Fox.

I ranked all of them based on appearance, right before ZK came out, but I probably need to take a better look at a few of them again and obviously add the new ones in as well

My ranking isn't really consistent on any criteria, just my personal vibes
Having a the snail in your top tier is the most epic thing I have ever seen (no offense, I to, am a Tiger Snail fan 🐌).

Anyway this is actually what I wanted to see, you all don't have to do a tier list like this but I would love to see one that was made for the reason of conveying your opinion on each animal, but you all can do whatever kinda tier list you want, just say what the tier list is rating/ranking.

Pretty loose criteria for me, essentially just how much I like them in-game and how much I use them (to a much lesser extent at least, all those canids and hyenas are up there just cause I like them lol, I don't actually use them that often). Obviously, how much I like an animal IRL plays a big role (eg. kiwi and both elephants), but it's a bit moot for the species I don't use much or at all. For example, the saiga is super cool IRL but not an animal I have any desire to put in any of my zoos. Same for most of the European fauna, which are pretty underrated as real-world animals, but practically useless for someone who mostly builds realistically in NA and Oceania. I tend to use remaster mods as well, so models aren't much of a factor for me with habitat animals.

Also, oh my god this game has given me such a bigger appreciation for primates. Previously I just wasn't interested in them as much for some reason. I don't really know why, but if I didn't have time to see all of a zoo, primate sections were usually the part I'd make myself skip. Same for building in ZT2, if I didn't have the space, they'd get axed. Now though? They're so interesting! Each and every one we have is such a fun animal to build for, they're an essential part of making realistic zoos, and on top of all that they're just fun to watch, both IRL and in-game. Sure the climbing system is a bit jank, but tbh I'm happy to have it all, and seeing the animals use climbing frames after spending the time to build them is pretty satisfying! The lar gibbons are some of the silliest guys ever, and the hamadryas baboon... oh my god I didn't know what I was missing until I built a classic baboon rock. It's so nice to have an animal to build that style of exhibit for that isn't yet another caprid.

Anyway uhh Frontier please give me more monkeys in PZ2 they're pretty epic actually.

Nice list, I might do my list similarly to you, like ignoring animal quality and what not.
