Ultimate Desert pack wishlist

[Stressed Primate]

Ok, I know what people are going to say: We already have the Arid pack. Yes, I know, but 1) it's called Arid and not Desert, so technically it left the door open for this one, 2) the Arid pack was very focused on Africa (and mostly North Africa), and the other desert regions of the world (and their animals) deserve some representation as well, and 3) we have precedents for dlc's with similar themes, such as Aquatic and Wetlands. So with all that being said, I think we are missing some very cool desert animals and I wanted to see other people's opinion on that.

Rules

1. You must pick up to 4 OR 7 habitat animals, depending on whether you want a Scenery pack or Animal pack.
2. You can pick only 1 exhibit animal (but you can chose to not have one).
3. No extinct animals, but animals extincts in the wild are okay. No fantasy animals or unverified cryptids.
4. All animals must be adapted to the desert biome.
5. You can vote for one animal to be the dlc's mascot (the one put at the forefront of its banner) by writing "Mascot" between brackets. You can also vote for a scenery theme.

I did not know Bilbies were also known as Rabbit Bandicoots? You learn something new everyday

Yeah, I just found out myself after checking if they were indead a desert species (I don't know them too well ) and I thought it could be useful to include both names in case some people would vote for them using the second one.

Yep Thanks for the info and for letting me know

Also I honestly think that a Roadrunner should be a Walkthrough Exhibit to prevent the risk of one Flying away, but that's just my thought is all

I mean, the mute swan, red-crown crane, indian peafowl and the two flamingos are also flying birds, and most of them fly better than a roadrunner does. They are mostly terrestrial birds who prefer to run even when fleeing predators.

Wow, this wishlist is finally taking off, I didn't believe it would anymore

I merged "Bilby" and "Greater Bilby" since it's apparently the only species remaining, and I counted the Western and Wild West sceneries as the same thing. Also, I added the top 3.
