Random Goat has done some amazing work on the Meta Wishlist, on a scale that is kinda mindblowing for keeping on top of, but I kinda liked the idea of running a companion poll to that? The thing with having the option to pick 25 animals is its great for seeing where general interest lies, but doesn't necessarily capture the species people are most passionate about. We could for instance discover that Tasmanian Devil is everyones 25th favourite choice. So, simple thing, in this thread, you get 4 picks only. Think of it as if one final pack was being made by Frontier and they picked it as a gift to your tastes specifically.
Quick Rules
EXAMPLE
"Sloth" - too broad - be more specific.
"Three-toed sloth sp." - sensible level fo detail.
"Pale-throated Three-toed Sloth" - probably too granular given the fairly subtle differences.
So that Said:
My own four:
1. Sloth Bear
2. Golden Lion Tamarin
3. Giant Salamander sp.
4. Giant Armadillo
I look forward to seeing yours!
EDIT: Update 5 as of 18th December 2022!
Lots of species from the upper reaches of the list got in this time round, so a ton of bumps up the list!
I will note that I've left Armadillo in for now, purely because none of the species specific votes were for nine-banded, however if you choose to replace that I'm happy to deduct it from the overall totals.
Quick Rules
- No aviary only species.
- No fully aquatic species like fish or cetaceans
- No subspecies unless the species in game is already divided on a subspecies level ie. wolf, brown bear, tiger, lion, leopard etc
- I'll probably clump the tally into single species and closely related species clusters depending on what it is, for instance:
