Honey bear?
The weirdest packages you can come up with
- Thread starter Cloudy tiger
- Start date
The Weird Al Yankovic Pack - Animals derived from or mentioned in the lyrics of Weird Al's songs:
- West Indian Manatee from the song "CNR"
- Red River Hog from "Let Me Be Your Hog"
- Long-Tailed Weasel from multiple songs, such as "You Make Me", "Albuquerque", and of course "Weasel Stomping Day"
- African Crested Porcupine from "Perform this Way"
- Exhibit - King Cobra from "You Don't Love Me Anymore"
Also Domestic cow from Amish paradise
I was also considering a walrus to represent "Fat" and a sloth to represent "Inactive," but I just settled for animals actually mentioned in the songs.
Kinkajou, I believe
Woah, that's beautiful. Bring this now
The kinkajou, indeed
Another idea: guests can rent the segways seen in "White and Nerdy".
The Forgotten Animal Pack, featuring animals without a single vote on the metawishlist that are nonetheless found in zoos (some of these are even surprisingly common).
- Lumholtz's Tree Kangaroo (Dendrolagus lumholtzi) - How to annoy team Goodfellow's and team Matschie's at the same time! More seriously, Lumholtz's is the smallest tree kangaroo species, one of two native to Australia rather than New Guinea, and nearly as common as Goodfellow's in Australian zoos.
- Red-bellied Lemur (Eulemur rubriventer) - Even with 3 species, Madagascar could always use more lemurs. There's still a range of species to choose from, with the red-bellied being one of the most overlooked.
- Golden-handed Tamarin (Saguinus midas) - Although hardly as well-known as its iconic golden cousin, the golden-handed tamarin is still a very beautiful South American primate (just look at those golden flecks!) with a large captive presence.
- Philippine Mouse-deer (Tragulus nigricans) - We don't have any endemics (or species found beyond Palawan) from the Philippines yet, and so this tiny ungulate would be great both for adding a species that properly represents the Philippines and the first tragulid to the game.
- Javan Rusa (Rusa timorensis) - Despite being well-represented in most aspects, south-east Asia is still rather lacking in hoofstock and this large Indonesian deer would be great to help fill out that spot in the roster. It's also one of the chief prey items of the Komodo dragon.
- Paradise Shelduck (Tadorna variegata) - This beautiful duck is an endemic of New Zealand and is extremely overlooked as a potential addition in my eyes. It has a decent international zoo presence for a species hailing from the island nation, being kept in Australia, Europe and North America.
- Sunbittern (Eurypyga helias) - This stunning bird hails from South America and is a member of an ancient Gondwanan lineage that otherwise only includes the kagu of New Caledonia. It is best known for its wing display and would be a great filler species for tropical and South America houses.
- Malaysian Blood Python (Python brongersmai) - This very girthy snake is native to the marshes and tropical swamps of south-east Asia and would be the first python added to the game. They get their name from the beautiful reddish colouration of some individuals.
