Ungulate Talk

Ah, sure. To be honest seventy years seems like such a short time - I had always assumed they were extinct on the mainland for much longer than that!
Well little known is that my country was one of the last places to have Javan rhinos and Sumatran rhinos on mainland Asia. Although I got vague memory of which went extinct first. I mean I do remember that there were news that either of the rhino species have been officially announced extinct by the Forestry Ministry when I was 5 or 6 years old (like 1999 or 2000).
 
No ungulates this time guys! A bunch of carnivorans instead. A muntjac would’ve been an interesting option considering the theme. But I understand it doesn’t really match this theme this time
 
I never posted a list in here, but here are the ungulates I think should make it in the game. Bold are the essential ones, so is 16 too much to much to ask? I made this list a long time ago, so I've been fairly happy over the last few packs.

North Africa:
Addax
Scimitar Horned Oryx

Dama Gazelle
Barbary Sheep


West/Central Africa:
Red River Hog
Yellow-backed Duiker

East Africa:
Sitatunga
Ellipsan Waterbuck
Nile Lechwe
Gerenuk
Red-flanked Duiker
Grevy's Zebra
Blue Wildebeest
Giant Eland
Kilpspringer
Black Rhinoceros
Somalian Wild Ass


South Africa:
Bontebok
Steenbok


South/Southeast Asia:
Sambar
Gaur
Blackbuck

Barasingha - my favorite, but if we could have one Asian deer, I would pick Sambar as it works across Asia.
Axis Deer
Soala
Chousingha
Visayan Warty Pig
Lowland Anoa

East/Northeast Asia:
Reeve's Muntjac
Japanese Serow
Sichuan Takin
Pere David's Deer
Siberian Musk Deer
Wild Boar

Central Asia:
Przewalksi's Wild Horse
Saiga
Persian Goitered Gazelle
Markhor

Central/South America:
Gunaco
Southern Pudu

Marsh Deer
Red Brocket Deer
Chacoan Peccary

North America:
Bighorn Sheep - desert compatible!
Mountain Goat
Collared Peccary
Roosevelt Elk

Edit: updated for latest releases

Look i dont complain,i love love love the red deer, buuuuuuuut OMG IMAGINE IT WAS A MONJEY LIKE A SAKI OR SOMETHING OMG THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DOPAMIN KICK OF THE AGES

But the red deer is still great and lovely :)
I was also hoping they would make a trend out of primates for anniversaries since they don't seem to think they sell well in DLCs.

The red deer looks great though, probably the best model in the base-game
 
Deer:
In case of deer species I still hope for a small species like Muntjac or Pudu. Then I would see them more or less complete even if I would not say no to other species.

Pigs:
I would like to see all the 3 remaining "important" Pig species. The most important to me is the Red River Hog as it is so colorful. The Wild Boar would be the last real essential species for a German Wildpark. And peccaries are really special as they can live together in really big groups.

Antelopes/Gazelles:
Personally I have 3 must-haves. The Kirks Dik Dik is my personal number 1 of all species. It would introduce a very small antelope which live monogame in pairs. These Kind of antelope we do not have in the game until now. The blackbuck would bring us a beautiful Asian antelope. And the Gerenuk looks so special I really would like to See them in the game. Other antelopes (Saiga, Greater Kudu, ...) are always welcome for me.


Camels:
I really would like to See the Dromedary and perhaps another new world camel. I prefer the Alpaca as we also have the Llama as a domestic species from there.


Horses:
I would be prefectly happy if we would just get the Somali Wild Donkey


Rhinos:
Black Rhino and Sumatran Rhino would be very welcome for me.


Goats/Sheeps:
I would like to See at least 3 further species. The Markhor, the Musk Ox and the Takin. Barbary Sheep, Mountain Goat and perhaps as a big surprise a Chamois would be great, too.

Cows:
The Yak would be a cool addition.


Tapirs:
A remake or at least a resize of the Malayan Tapir would be great.

I suspect we missed on the red river hog when it wasn't in the wetlands pack.
 
Meanwhile:

South America: Could we just get like... something?
Frontier: YOU JUST GOT A SECOND CAIMAN, STOP COMPLAINING!
South America: Maybe next year then...

Next year (technically this)...

Frontier: all i can do is spectacled bear in december

South America: rly? I was isolated for over 30 million years and im getting yet another carnivoran?

Frontier: Yes

South America: maybe you have something else for me? Maybe unique animal like sloth or tamarin?

Frontier: nope, take coati instead

South America: ....
