I would prefer the hyrax, I only chose the mara cause it would do more for SA, but I stand by my decisions against this bird. I've set my line in the sand lol.
Spring 2024 DLC Speculation
- Thread starter The Carcharodontogenius
- Start date
oh really, I know you enjoyed the little rock potato's but not that much. but I am still disappointed in your opinion on the bird, the burrowing owl mafia is coming for you. ok but for real, ignoring birds that can't work for habitats (like doves or macaws) what five birds do you want most, for me.
Mandarin Duck
Scarlet Ibis
Burrowing Owl or Roadrunner
Dalmation Pelican
Southern Screamer or Southern Ground Hornbill

Given that those are meant for the PC version only and are in no way connected to the console version, it would be very weird if they were.
For me:
Mandarin Duck
Roseate Spoonbill
Grey Crowned Crane
Southern Screamer
Brown Pelican or any other pelican
YEA BABY!!!!
I got a challenge, let's talk about the worst outcome possible for a SA pack, only rule is it has to be a scenery or animal pack.
Neotropical Pack
White-Tailed Deer
Tufted Capuchin
Andean Moutain Cat
Kinkajou
(Exhibit Animal) Gray Wall Jumping Spider
(edit: wait we have not been promised a dlc yet!)
Worst outcome ever. A scenery pack and it has
Spectacled bear
American flamingo
Kinkajou or tayra
Second capuchin
Ex: another tarantula
I don't hate the spectacled bear but i imagine the worst possible outcome being a scenery pack when it is the one pick from the metawishlist and they give us a bird but is the most boring one of the pink trio. Kinkajou or tayra as an oddball in a scenery pack (or even in an animal pack) would be a wanted opportunity for something more important and common in zoos like ocelot, coati or mara. And we get another monkey but it is a straight capuchin clone. And not even the ex animal is interesting. A scenery pack with a roster like this would feel like a cruel joke.
Now, i believe is somewhat realistic to expect the coati and the spectacled bear since they are high in the metawishlist, and hopefully a howler as well, but something like:
Coati
Bear
Howler
Flamingo
Would also be kind of dissapointing tbh, just not as horrible as the first roster since at least we get the coati and howler. And tbh it feels like something Frontier would do unfortunally. That is why a scenery pack for LATAM would be a nightmare scenario in itself. At least with an animal pack if we get the flamingo and the bear i get 5 other animals that would probably like.
Greater rhea
Scarlet ibis or Roseatte spoonbill
Mandarín duck
Burrowing owl (is pretty much our only chance to get an owl, plus they are cute and funny and they are widespread across the Américas)
Grey crowned crane
Honorable mentions to: Golden pheasant, secretary bird, Brown pelican and cappercaillie which complete my top 10. Roadrunner is also a favorite of mine but doesn't make it into the top ten by very little.
Worst case scenario for me would be a SA scenery pack with the following animals:YEA BABY!!!!

Another flamingo
W. T. Deer
Black Cayman
Bald uakari (it just looks quite creepy, sorry)
+some kind of average beetle or spider for exhibit box (we have too many spiders I think)
Truer words have never been spoken.
How do we know a DLC is coming at all? Isn't it possible eurasia was last?
The financial report mentions at least one more PDLC
For me:
Grey crowned crane
White faced whistling duck
Greater pelican
Roseate spoonbill
Greater Rhea
On one of the Frontier streams, they mentioned that they are not quite done with the PC version yet.
Shoebill
Secretary bird
Scarlet Ibis
Roseate Spoonbill
Great White Pelican
Gimme all of them icons

- Duck, preferably WFWD but I’ll take what I can get
- South America bird, another tropical species can be any of the pink trio or another surprise
- African bird, another species that can cohabitate, like the grey crowned crane, ground hornbill, or Guinea fowl
- Another tropical species, either SA or Africa
- A bird for NA
Five birds for me, absolutely a selfish 5 birds not what others need
- White faced whistling duck
- American flamingo
- Brown Pelican
- Grey Crowned Crane
- Greater Rhea
My top 5 selfishness picks would basically be:
1- Marabou
2- Scaly-sided merganser
3- Dalmatian pelican (I know great white would be a way better pick but it's my sleepover and I get to pick the movie)
4- Nene
5- Blue-eared pheasant
1- Marabou
2- Scaly-sided merganser
3- Dalmatian pelican (I know great white would be a way better pick but it's my sleepover and I get to pick the movie)

My top 5 habitat birds:
- Southern Ground Hornbill
- Pelican Species
- Victoria Crowned Pigeon
- Scarlet Ibis
- Secretary Bird
The grizzly is the more impressive and dangerous one of the two. They are featured in more documentaries. However, their range doesn't overlap with people much, partially through human activity, but it isn't a "local" species for most people.
Black bears have a much larger range, including that of grizzlies, plus tropical southern Florida, some of the subtropical southeast, the Appalachian mountains, arid sections of the southwest, the west coast's Mediterranean, and the edges of the grasslands.
Not saying the ZT1 roster was perfect, but I think ZT1 had a good understanding of the icons across North America, not just focusing on the Canadian wilderness documentaries. The East Coast had its black bear; the West Coast had its sea lion and sea otter; the Rocky Mountains and Southwest had the mountain lion and bighorn sheep; the taiga/northern pine forests had its grizzly, wolf, and moose; and the tundra had its polar bear and caribou. It was missing most small mammals, especially the prairie dog, wolverine, and beaver. There also weren't any NA birds, but I think the bald eagle was in the bird house. They only had one crocodilian, so I guess ours was missing, too.
I'm from the east coast, but several hours on a fast highway north of alligators and far south of moose. I want the icon of the Appalachian mountains, the black bear.
Our big icons should include wolves, cougars, bears (all 3), the alligator, sea lion, moose, bison, and probably the bighorn sheep.
The small ones include the beaver, prairie dog (not one most people would list, but insanely popular with kids in zoos), wolverine, and an otter, probably the sea otter. Probably a bird or two, as well.
The internationally popular ones seem to include other woodland critters, mainly the raccoon, skunk, opossum, porcupine, and red fox.
Maybe just the spectacled bear, if it is an all américas pack. I also can see the bear as anniversary.
