Looove the water buffalo!
Hello folks.
Have you seen the Beta video posted? It showcases quite a few new animals.

Let me give you some facts about all the newly confirmed animals:
1. African buffalo: The herd mentality is strong with this one... References aside, these bovines sure are loyal with the group. If one's in trouble, the rest will aid.
2. Asian Elephant: Some countries use elephants as beasts of burden. They help pull chopped logs cut by loggers.
3. Gemsbok: Featured in the Namibia Coat of Arms.
Thank you!

Wait a minute. I thought it would be the Indian elephant. So my thoughts be possibly true. Asian elephant means we get more Asian animals and Chinese theme. I guess red panda and giant Panda coming soon
They will release packages with theme and animals from the related continents
Asian update confirmed for me. We have it already in planco with the worlds fair pack I think

Well, Indian elephants ARE a subspecies of Asian elephants.
That would be the notorious African Buffalo.
That’s actually an African buffalo 
not at water buffalo.
As for what’s on the table, it’s hard to tell from the way it’s laying xD maybe..

Good question, it looks like it. But to be honest, I don't have a clue really.
It looks like a pronghorn to me.

Hayo fellow zookeepers,
I have combined this thread with this thread, and I have fixed the images in the first post.
Awesome to see the new animals being revealed in the Planet Zoo Beta trailer! They look astonishing!

Isn’t that one of the pronghorns?
I thought it was a jackal or something similar, but when I got a closer look, I noticed it had hooves, so its probably a pronghorn.
The new animals look amazing, and the animations are excellent.
Modders were creating animals with this level of detail for Zoo Tycoon 2, but of course the animals had the same stiff, slightly awkward animations of the originals, they were just re-skinned to look better. This game looks like it'll be the game that ZT2 fans always wanted.

I agree. Some people are saying they want modding in this game, but in my opinion, I think this game won't need it. The animals look amazing, and theres no telling what this game will be like in 10 years, after its done being supported!
Something that is easily overlooked is there are technically "two buffalo" species shown off. There is the Asian Water Buffalo (note the longer, straighter horns) and the African Cape Buffalo (the smaller fatter horns). I think people keep saying "We have water buffalo" in the game but there are really three animals (the Gemsbok, Asian Water Buffalo and Cape Buffalo) confirmed in this video.
Can you please point them out on some screenshots, because I rewatched the trailer, and still notice only 1 buffalo species.
I don't see any differences TBH.
Both are Afrcian Buffalo. Where Asian Water Buffalo's two horns' roots meets should be covered with leather and fur, but in both scenes where buffalo is showed, neither of them are covered with fur where the roots of horns meets, suggesting those are same African Buffalo.
Size and shape of the horns can differ in real life. I googled it.
