How about musk deer?
Maybe my beloved Nilgai still has a chance after all, even though it stands at only 17 votes on the meta wishlist... I will keep hoping until the end. Really wish to see those guys in the game, as well as Giant Elands, Addax, Scimitar Horned Oryx... When I hear some people say we have enough antelopes, I'm like "dude, we will never have enough antelopes" ☺
Yeah, i mean as long as some iconic antelopes are still missing from the game we'll never have enough antelopes lol
The ones that come to mind are Greater Kudu, Blackbuck, Saiga, impala gerenuk, Blue wildebeest, hartebeest, Addax, Scimitar horned or arabian oryx and some small ungulates such as dik dik, kilpspringers and duikers

Yea! The water buffaloes made me so happy cause now I can make mixed asian grassland exhibits (we still need blackbucks though...)
Wetlands pack is quite promising. Here's hoping we get ungulates to outweigh the carnivorans like before the DLC
That’s a great graphic!
Aside from the obvious ungulates like the Przewalski's Horse, Dromedary Camel, and Red River Hog, I'd really like the Roosevelt Elk. We don't have that many North American ungulates, and have you heard their bugling cries? They'd make our zoos sound so much more alive, and on top of that, I also have a personal connection to the species.
Elk’s cries would be so cool to hear in game
I would like to have the water chevrotain in the game, it is a great swimmer and can dive into the water and hold its breath for 4 minutes
They’re definitely very unique that whole group of ungulates is so cool
they would be neat to have, for sure. But more than that I'd love the red deer with their deep roaring calls. 
Wapiti cries are hilarious to me, while red deer roars are impressive.
Although it would be quite similar to the gazelles we already have in-game, I am increasingly enamoured by the goitered gazelle. Not only would it add an Asian species of antelope (and a threatened one at that), it also has several other advantages:
- Although they can and do live in hot deserts, they are also surprisingly tolerant of the cold; the northern parts of their wild range routinely see snow and their climate tolerance means they are kept in zoos as far north as Helsinki.
- Here in Europe, they are among the more commonly-kept gazelles - they nearly match the springbok in number of zoos that hold them and are kept in nearly twice as many places as the Thomson's gazelle.
- They are quite commonly kept in mixed enclosures, especially with camels, which are really the only other Central Asian herbivore available at the moment. I have also seen pictures of enclosures mixing them with onager/kulan, Bactrian wapiti, Arabian oryx and bar-headed goose.

P Horse and scimitar Oryx added! They really are treating us well right now!
This is amazing. Last pack and this haven't been heavily focused on members of Carnivora (actually, no members in the Wetlands pack; it was mostly herbivores or piscivores)
Otters are carnivorans.
Oh, right, duh, I forgot about them (I still haven't used all the Wetlands animals)
