Well if the Planet Zoo Animals can end up in MS Flight Sim 2024, will Elite get them as well?

I was checking out MS Flight Sim 2024 and found the following: https://www.si.com/videogames/features/microsoft-flight-simulator-2024-animals

A quick quote from that Article:
"
Jorg Neumann, head of Microsoft Flight Simulator, used to work at Frontier, the team behind Elite: Dangerous and Planet Zoo. So when Microsoft and Asobo Studio decided to improve the fidelity of Flight Sim’s recreation of Earth, he called his former colleagues and asked them to break open the cages.

“I called Jonny (Watts, Frontier CEO),” Neumann tells me. “I just said, ‘Can I have your animals?’ I gave him some money for it. Collaboration in gaming is awesome.”
"

I hope this means Elite can get some full Atmo planets with animals as well at some point!

You know, I read an article many years ago, long before ED was announced. It was discussing RC3's (IIRC) crowd mechanics and how it lent its self to some feature in the next Elite game. So, even back then there was talk of tech / features from one title making its way into another seemingly unrelated one.

Planets in ED teeming with life would be pretty cool to see, don't know what gameplay they'd add - plenty of options - but just the emersion of buzzing a field of cattle analogues in a spaceship would be pretty cool.
