My takes for an urban pack would be:
  • our beloved trash panda for being not only super common in zoos and charismatic, but also filling a new niche, that being an arboreal north american and rn also colder climate animal
  • the black swan as a beautiful waterfowl in many parks, that also would add to our australian diversity
  • rhesus macaque, as the primary street monkey from southern asia. They are also very common in captivity and different enough from the japanese macaque to be unique while also similar enough to be the spectacle caiman of the pack as a relativly easy to do animal. Also our first primate from continential asia
  • the european red squirrel, common in zoos as many take in wild animals to nurture them and release them back into the wild, imagine it like fletchlinhs falling out of their nests. They also have a very fast and unique style of climbing and would be our first arboreal and overall fast moving rodent. Also first arboreal cold climate animal from eurasia.

And if its an animal pack additionally:
  • the marabou stork, an animal very common in large african cities. They live in a symbiotic relatshionship with us humans, as they eat our edible trash and help keep the city clean, which is why they are actually quite liked despite looking like bloody murder. Also our first stork.
  • Red fox aka mr worldwide for being not only a common zoo animal but also argueably one of the most successfull urban settlers and that on a world wide level
  • Canada goose aka the devil. They are THE urban pest and eventhough not many zoos keep them, aslong as they got a pond and/or a nice meadow aka most herbivore habitats, they will find you and they are gonna in it. Might be a pest but its hard to imagine a more iconic modern urban animal

Hey man, what about the exhibit animals? They may be generally disliked, but show some love to them


My take on an urban pack:
  1. Raccoon - the headliner, and adorable, too
  2. Vervet monkey - yes, this is real
  3. Virginia opposum - a strange marsupial AND can't carry rabies
  4. Sika deer - protected in Japan and thrives in the urban environment
  5. Reticulated python (E) - our "tiny" terror

If im indifferent to them, why mention them?
I guess the tokai gekko is quite known for their urban lifestyle, but either way i couldnt care less if we got a gekko, snake, spider or really whatever exhibit animals we could get. Could be a cockroach for all i care about.
Only possible exhibit animals i care about are those that i do not want to be exhibit animals, but habitat animals instead like small mammals or the iguanas

i forgot the opposum! It’s unique and necessary for this type of pack.

My new urban pack:

Raccoon
Virginia Opposum
Rhesus Macaque
Coyote or Red Fox
Giant Squirrel
Black Swan
Wild Turkey
San Francisco Garter Snake

The trash panda rebellion succeeded. As its founder, leader and number 1. member i want to thank each and everyone of your for believing in these little charming trash can deep diver.
They overcame the slander just for us so now lets build all the wonderfull forever homes that they could ever dream of for this sadly controversial species.
But in the end we can rejoyce, because we won and nobody can take that away from us, the one and only trash panda rebellion.
Have a good night all of you fine people, dream sweet of the claimers of our hearts and have a great day

FINALLY! I've been hoping for raccoons for forever! I think my next new zoo will feature the loveable trash pandas as our mascot animal in celebration. I usually do flamingos as the entrance enclosure, but this time? Raccoons front and center, welcoming everyone into the zoo. 🦝
