Ultimate Cave DLC

I wish we had more species that spend their entire lives down in the Caves. We have 3 (Egyptian Fruit Bat, Speculated Flying Fox, and Axolotl). Honestly I hope we get more animals that either live in the Caves and only venture out for Food, or Creatures that live in the Caves their entire lives and never see the sun light. I got my list :)

Rules:
1. you can chose 7 species (Either 7 Habitat, 7 Exhibit, or a mix of the two)
2. you can chose 1 animal to be the Mascot
3. They have to either live in the caves and go out to grab food or water, or live in the caves and never leave them
4. You can chose a Theme if you want to

Example (My) List:
1. Northern Bat (Mascot)
2. Yellow Winged Bat
3. Vampire Bat
4. Texas Blind Salamander
5. Georgia Blind Salamander
6. Mexican Free-tailed Bat
7. Blind Mole Rat

Theme I would like: German and Japanese (I like mixing those two because why not)

One of the great things about this game is it exposes people to species they have never heard of before and encourages people to learn about them. Before posting why don't you take the time to do some research. Bats ≠ caves. Many bat species don't live in caves, including all the flying fox species, and yellow-winged bat. Axolotl don't live in caves either; not sure where you came up with that. You've also equated cave-dwelling (troglobites) with animals that burrow (fossorial). Mole rats burrow underground, but don't live in caves. You could call the pack "Life Underground" and open up the options for animals.

I'm all for diversity and don't mind some similar animals, but this pack is just boring. Four bat species, three microbats. Neither that yellow-winged or northern bat are held in captivity anywhere, and mexican free-tailed bat is exceedingly rare in captivity. Insectivorous bats and birds are very hard to keep. Texas vs Georgia blind salamander are nearly indistinguishable, and there would be no reason for both to ever be included, let alone in the same pack. Why in the world would you pick the blind mole rat, over the popular and ubiquitous naked mole rat?

It's hard to make a cave or fossorial pack as they are largely small, drab species they do not make good zoo or display animals due to their tendency to hide or burrow. This would really have to be an exhibit pack.
1. Leaf-cutter ants (headliner)
2. Naked mole rat (headliner)
3. Vampire bat (walk-thru size exhibit, but not walk-thru)
4. Mexican tetra/ blind cave fish
5. Tailless whip scorpion
6. Giant cave cockroach*
7. Olm (or Texas blind salamander)
*I'd prefer the madagascan hissing cockroach, which should have been in the game since the beginning, but it is not truly fossorial.

I don't understand your theme at all. What does what you like have to do with caves? For unknown reasons, the Twilight pack already provided stalactites and other cave decor. I would focus on introducing new exhibits. One with underground viewing chambers for ants and mole rats. This would also be a great time to introduce smaller exhibits.
