Upcoming Asia Pack?

As I have said in the past, I really think we need aviary pieces or at least mesh roofs for clouded leopards. I don’t think I have ever seen them in an open-topped enclosure.
 
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.
 
I hope for south-east Asia pack so I exclude other asian species:

Sun bear
Malayan tapir
Babirusa
Clouded leopard

EX: Philippine sailfin lizard

Also I really hope they would change the pattern and decide for a bigger DLC - 10 habitat species and 2 exibit species

Then I would add:
Gibbon
Binturong
Anoa or Banteng
Eld’s deer
Black crested macaque
Sumatran dhole

EX: Painted terapin

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.

This is not cause I dislike Asia or something, but just because there is so many regions with so many interesting animals. Just limiting it to Asia would be to remove so many options of unique animals around the rest of the world.
 
I also think that Asia should have at least two different DLCs. For the southeast Asian I would go with:
Sun bear (really happy with this choice)
Gibbon (there are a lot of nice species)
Binturong
Gaur/ Banteng
The Malayan tapir would be very welcome as a bonus, as I still think it can be a simple reskin of the Bairds tapir.
 
In 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.

Asian animals in the top hundred (I exclude Middle-Eastern desert species and Eurasian species like wild boar and wolverine). The number in brackets refers to their placing in the list.

  • Przewalski's horse (10)
  • An Asian leopard species (11)
  • Lar gibbon (11)
  • Clouded leopard (15)
  • Malayan tapir (16)
  • Asian small-clawed otter (21)
  • Binturong (21)
  • Babirusa (24)
  • Takin (40)
  • Sun bear (45)
  • Blackbuck (47)
  • Markhor (59)
  • Siamang (59)
  • Dhole (63)
  • Proboscis monkey (74)
  • Saiga (74)
  • Yak (74)
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 job
