Spring 2024 DLC Speculation

I for one need domestics in game more than any other animal. Most of my favourite wild species have made it into Planet Zoo, and some of the only species left that could complete this game (besides birds, fish and primates) for me are domestic species. A scenery pack in Spring would be ideal, and would hold off a Latin/Central America Pack till Summer, when it would be an Animal Pack.
A Domestic Pack is a guaranteed moneymaker for Frontier, and a great win for a lot of players. I know it’s one of the most highly requested pack themes, besides birds and fish, outside of these forums.

Come talk to me after taking an active part in rabbit population control programs and seeing first hand the damage they do. Millions of acres that should be flourishing habitat for native wildlife is instead consumed and ruined by millions of rabbits.
I would love an arctic hare, because to me it feels different to the feral rabbits I dispatch irl. I've had pet rabbits before moving to Qld where they're highly illegal, and I know they're Fantastic, but I don't want to see the norm brown European rabbits in the game after dealing with the damage they cause. Idk if that's too deep for a plan zoo forum but
Also, I like the idea of a spring tundra pack. In spring, the snow is reducing, plants are starting to bloom, land and sea migration is happening, the animals are more active. Summer is full tundra peak, but I prefer our summer pack be a central America animal pack.
Honestly Safari Animal Pack has really good potential for bird choices. Secretary Bird and Grey Crowned Crane have been brought up quite a bit already but Marabou Stork and Guineafowl are also excellent choices. Considering some of these would be able to reuse old rigs easily as well and with how Frontier has really surprised us on the bird front this year it wouldn't surprise me if they gave us three birds in one pack here. A lineup of say secretary, guineafowl, crane, baboon, serval, ratel, and kudu for the obligatory antelope would honestly be pretty awesome.
Sneak in a cheeky lion rework on top of it, hmm, hmm
Got this funky theory that frontier is saving monkeys for once they get climbing working better
as long as less than half the pack is ungulates im fine its sort of expected in the theme. The rest of the your picks being a baboon and a newstyle of ground bird add to that the spurred tortoise/ an african crocodilian will make up for diversity.
Boooooo.
Southern ground hornbill or Abyssinian ground hornbill are two good choices that nobody ever seems to mention.
I'll pass on another crocodile. And I still can't wrap my head around this desperate desire to stop with ungulates. There's never going to be enough ungulates in the game to be truly representative of the real-life situation of zoos.
I mean I prefer them to the Hamadryas by a small margin and purely because of looks. I would be ecstatic with either!
Give me an African croc, but I'd prefer another habitat tortoise.
But I wholeheartedly agree with this. I love Arid so much, and now, if had to substitute an animal for a baboon it'd be the sand cat. We need more ungulates- and that includes African antelopes.
Its not that i dont want more ungulates. Its more that i dont more ungulates over other groups that need the additions may more imo
I agree that zoos have a alot of ungulates and there is no way that planet zoo will ever cover them all my real problem is that we have so many ingame already and everything else is suffering because of this ground birds, reptiles, other mammals that arent carnivorans.
Also to casual players they do tend to look very samey so a pack over half full of them is likely not going to be received well ie arid and eurasia there are still plenty of ungulates that I want to see and think we need I just want them to take a backseat instead of being the drivers of every single pack we get.
Also I agree here the gelada has no business being in a safari pack olive or hamadrayas baboon fit much better. I want the tortoise more than the croc just though the croc fit the idea of african safari better because i agree we have way too many crocodilians in proportions to other reptiles but more reptiles is still better.
Hamadryas Baboon is better in a safari pack, but the Gelada is better overall imo
I agree it just has no business in a safari pack we need more african mountain representation I still think the olive baboon is better then the hamadrayas though
If we get Guereza and Gelada in a later pack I will be over the moon! I want these 2 even more than SA monkeys.
Honestly, to me, it seems like after SA, Africa really is lacking the most essential species. And for me personally the amount of essentials from continents is kind of similar. It just since South America's number of essentials as a whole is smaller, it sticks out more than Africa's. Kind of my theory at the moment.
I wouldnt necessarily say africa has alot of essentials left, but there are alot cool animals that it has left to offer.
Personally id be down for another africa pack, after SA gets some love ofc
