There are many animals who can be placed in biome-based packs all over the globe. Personally I think biomed-based are better then only region-based packs (Maybe a mix of both). Biome-based packs are more for everyone then region-based ones since not everyone might want an all Asian zoo for example. Some might want more animals from Africa or Europe, some from North- & South America. After we have atleast 1 pack from each region I think biome-based would be a better option to fill in gaps and compliment allready existing animals.I stand by my belief that Asia would need at least two regional packs to be reasonably covered, a Southeast Asia and a Central Asia/Far East pack. But it's fairly unlikely that they are gonna make 2 Asia-focused DLCs, so I'd say it's more likely the Central Asian ones might make their way into a "Mountain DLC" or another biome-based pack.
The top eight from this list would be insane...But for this entire list I think I'd just give Frontier my credit card and quit my jobIn terms of demand within the community, using the 30 essential animals meta-wishlist as a measure, the Przewalski's horse is number 10 and is the most requested Asian animal.
