That's the only one I was thinking of but they share the same region and biome. Though I guess since the Wolverine's range extends elsewhere it could work.
Sorry, was a mostly off topic semi humorous comment.
What comes next? Planet zoo and the rule of two: Assessement

They share the same range and biomes, so they don't really pair in the way the post refers to.
I'm not so sure about a third otter. I do think it's very likely we'll get a second, but a third, while isn't impossible, is a bit of a stretch, particularly if we end up having just one more year of content left. Which I hope we have more than that, but it seems that's at least a possibility.
Red deer is great. About the howler, to be honest, it's a very common SA monjey. I've never seen a capuchin in a zoo, but I've seen black howlers
Oof, both the Sith and Jedi are flawed. Sith crave power and dominance of the Force. Jedi have too many limits. That's why I designed a new order called tge Venatore (Veh-Nah-Taur), which basically is an order that doesn't limit itself to the Light or Dark side. They don't want anything other than control of the Force itself
Darth Quell approves (my username is actually the name of a currently unwritten fanfic character I made of a Sith that left the Sith to form thw Venatore. Ah, how I miss the original Expanded Universe)Ah, the coming of Darth Wolverine.Not that the wolverine's a pair to anything as yet, but still....
I’d go with eastern grey kangaroo or Bennett’s wallaby to pair with red kangaroo
I went for exotic but that also works
We already have 3 deers in the game. And taxonomically a mouse deer is no deer at all. It is an own group (the most basic) within the pecora.
But I would not have anything against the inclusion of a mouse deer. But for "real deers" I would like to have a smaller species like the muntjac and I still would celebrate the inclusion of the red deer.
In my mind, the perfect otter representation needs 3 species: giant otter, sea otter, and any small river otter.
Other animal group which we just have one species at the moment but I think we should reach 3 members are kangaroos: we have the big red, we lack a small wallaby and tree kangaroo.
Interesting. Going over other limited mammal groups, like land muteloids, bears, boars, pinnipeds, goats... what in your opinion is needed for completion of each group.
Challenge accepted:
Pinnipeds are 3 families, we already have a sea lion and a true seal, so the 3rd would be the walrus. It would also represent the polar seals.
Bears, I love them, but we already have enough. We just lack 3 species (sloth, spectacled and black American) and none of them would give us any different from the 6 we have, specially the black Asian and the sunbear.
Goats we have from America and a Europe, so the 3rd one from Asia. Takin or markhor, I guess... Thar or serow if they want something less common. There are other Asian and African candidates but they would be too similar to the ibex or the sheep we already have.
Boars, or pigs, or hogs, or suids... We have jungle Asian and grassland African, both tropical, so I wouldn't bet on red river hog (even though lots of people loves them including me) as it's jungle African. I guess wild boar from temperate Eurasia or collared peccary from America (although they are more related to tropical forests than to deserts or temperate climate).
But you got me with Mustelids, I don't know... They are maybe the most diverse group from the list, and I think some of them are too small (weasel, stoat) or too arboreal (marten, tayra) for Planet Zoo.
I'm consjdering making a post for qhat people would need for the game to feel complete. It will take an effort though
On further thought, I'm not sure about the California Sea Lion being a counterpart to the Grey Seal since California Seals have a more metropolitan distribution. Honestly what would seem to be a better balance to the Grey Seal, is the Baikal Seal. For one, really big reason. Grey Seal is Marine, and the Baikal Seal is freshwater.
As for the California Sea Lion, as much as I want to say Steller Sea Lion, it's only a counter in size. I think a real counter comes from any one of the Southern fur seals (Genus Arctocephalus).

As opposed to the koala, or capuchin, or red panda, or binturong, or lemurs?
I think they are counters in both being pinnipeds with similar hahitat designs, which differ in:
- Morphology
- Climate (cold vs. temperate)
- Geography (Pacific vs. Atlantic)
The Baikal seal would also counter, but I never heard of Baikal seals in zoos. Another counter would be the mediterranean monk seal, which lives in a hotter climate than the grey seal, but is also not kept in zoos.
TBH they really break immersion in the game as is. The running Koala is hilarious.
My point was that there isn't really such a thing as "too arboreal" for Planet Zoo. Except maybe the sloth, but even that should be doable, if a little awkward.
Actually, there are a few in Russian zoos. Once they weren't that rare in Europe. In Germany the last Baikal seal died only 8 years ago in Leipzig.

Any idea why they are rare in Europe nowadays?
