Not necessarily, though. They did animal sounds during the Twilight Pack special livestream, and while I honestly don't recall if we ever even settled on whether they were a skunk or a raccoon, the animal was teased elsewhere during the pack regardless.

I really want them. Saw them recently on a trip to Los Angeles at the la zoo it was either them or rhinoceros hornbills in an exhibit with yellow footed rock wallabies (I want them too) and it inspired me so much
Id literally take 4 different statues of fossa buddha over a box exhibit. Atleast those could be turned around to be pretty stones and be useful that way.. Chameleon or Gecko would be okay, or? In my opinion both are still missing somehow in the Game and the Gecko could also be located directly on the Glass wall. But I really believe this time will be our first time we get one (or better some very similar) flying bird(s) to the Game. Everything was made ready for it since Twilight Pack.
And besides the fact that the exhibit would just look the same as allways for a new jgl exhibit species so its really nothing new thats added, let me remind you of this.
I think this picture alone does a better job then words ever could of conveying my gripe with the boxes.
I could see it even if it ends up being a rainforest pack, Tasmania is temperate rainforest. It's filled with vines, moss, ferns, and waterfalls.
I truly have no idea what those sounds were except to say that #1 sounded like a monkey or a bird and #2 sounded like a mammalian carnivore. FWIW, during the Twilight stream they definitely teased the raccoon noise and then straight-up showed the stuffed raccoon if I recall. So #2 could be a fossa still. But I have no idea. And then there's the "hog" mishap which makes
But then there's the "hogs" slip-up... And I really kinda feel like she would have said "pigs" or something if it were a species with that in the name. "Pigs" is the default for animals of that type, really.
All that considered: I am thinking it's a tropical/rainforest themed pack rather than islands. Fossa, red river hog, maybe an ocelot, and a monkey... With a flying fox, some tropical birds (multiple macaw variants or songbirds), or a sloth for a walk-through habitat (even though I think a sloth as a walk-through exhibit would be regrettable).
Even if it were islands, I think we'd DEFINITELY have recognized the Tasmanian devil's yowls, TBH. They wouldn't have skipped that opportunity. But hey. Maybe the next pack will be a "Temperate Forests" animal DLC.

Do we know when dlc announcement is or does it just drop anytime now?
Within the next 2 days we should get an announcement
While devils do occur in rainforest, it’s not their core habitat and they’re much more common in drier habitats like eucalypt forest, grassy woodlands and heathlands, so they wouldn’t really fit into the pack well.
(from the IUCN)
I truly don't understand why so many people are hanging on to this one. We know it was originally intended, or at least considered, to appear in the Australia Pack. It was clearly axed for a reason. It's now been three years of radio silence, and they have since moved on to bigger and flashier walkthrough exhibits. If they double back to regular exhibits, I'm positive it won't be for an insect most people had never even heard of prior to it being datamined.
Yes, and having spent several months hiking through Tasmanian wildernesses and national parks, I would say that tasmanian sclerophyll forests would still seem to be very rainforest like to the layperson. They're very green, damp (especially compared to nsw or QLD sclerophyll forests), and the undergrowth is very viney, mossy, and filled with ferns. Even the woodlands are quite lush. I'm not saying it's guaranteed, but just that it should not be discounted, especially as I can see Tasmania fitting the rainforest bill, especially as so much of it is dense and mostly unexplored forest.
Stick bug or literally anything else? Tough choice
True, but we did get desert animals, like the hyena, in the Grasslands pack
I just went through the live broadcast again, and just now I noticed that in the first noise there is something red in the middle of the background that looks like an animal's head (26:42), maybe someone recognizes what it is???
Striped hyenas are just as, if not more common in grasslands than deserts though. Same goes for all the other "desert animals" that came in grasslands. Tasmanian devil is different given it's much rarer in rainforest than other habitats (not to mention the pack is no doubt focused on tropical rather than temperate rainforests).
I probably want the devil more than anyone but I don't think it should be squeezed into packs that don't suit it for the sake of it. Needless to say I'd still be ecstatic for them even if the pack they came in wasn't very fitting.
You know I was expecting this when the sun bear was leaked.
And wow, many pages I lost here!
I think its a petal from rafflesia
It has been 3 years in the making. Must be very good
