What are your dream species that are already in the game?
- Thread starter nutrit
- Start date
1. Chinese pangolin - I spent years on Zoo Tycoon 2 wishing for a good pangolin and to have one in the base game is just brilliant; if it didn't make it in at this point I'm doubtful it would have appeared at all
2. Spotted hyena - one of my favourite animals and one that I wasn't necessarily expecting to appear in the game
3. Japanese macaque - it was good to see at least one smaller monkey (basically, anything that is not a mandrill or baboon) appearing in the base game
4. Mexican red knee tarantula - this is my favourite representative of the terrarium species, which I'm really glad made it into the game
5. Indian rhinoceros - while an African rhinoceros would be nice (and I imagine at least one will come at some point), it is good that this species has got its time in the sun as well
6. Giant otter - having seen these animals in real life, they are magnificent - one of my favourite species of otter and one I am genuinely glad has made it into the game
7. Red ruffed lemur - it is great that mixed-species walkthrough lemur enclosures are possible in the base game
8. Southern cassowary - just having another bird was great, that it is one of the most magnificent of living birds is an added bonus
9. Nile monitor - a favourite of mine from the Zoo Tycoon 2 game and they look even better in this version
10. Himalayan brown bear - from a European perspective, these are no rarer in zoos than grizzly bears are and it's nice to see another type of brown bear represented

You could've used the Word Primate
I don't think it's correct to use the Word Affe for a Lemur. I always hear them being called Halbaffe (which seems to be a old Word that isn't really official anymore) or just Lemur
1.) Southern Cassowary
2.) Diamondback Terrapin
3.) Chinese Pangolin
4.) Red Eyed Tree Frog
5.) Orangutan
7.) Dwarf Caiman
8.) Indian Peafowl
9.) Red Ruffed Lemur
10.) Gharial
Polar bear would have made the cut if it's requirements weren't so high, and I probably would have place the orangutan higher if it had brachiation.

These are by far my favorite animals in the game so far: Giant Ant Eater, Cassowary, Indian Rhinoceros, Babirusa, Proboscis Monkey, Aardvark, Komodo Dragon, Snow Leopard, Gemsbok, Sable Antelope, Okapi, Gharial, Mandrill, Pronghorn, Bongo, Pangolin, Clouded Leopard and Sun Bear.
I also love the Gilamonster and Pygmy Hippo.
EDIT: SO MUCH LOVE FOR THE CASSOWARY! Awesome!!!! Too bad people don't really care for Gemsbok (aka Lion Slayer) and Pronghorn (aka faster than cheetah), how come?
