What unique rigs we still need in the game?

Rodents (beaver, porcupine, capybara, prairie dog)

Mongooses (Meerkat)

Fossa

African civet

Badgers (Honey, European)

Raccoons (Coati, Racoon)

Wolverine

Foxes (Fennec, Polar, Red)

Maned wolf

Sloths

Armadillos

Gibbons

Monkeys (Spider monkeys, howler monkeys)

Marsupials (Tasmanian devil, tree kangaroo, wombat)

Monotremes (Platypus)

Sea lions

Manatees

Hmm... that's a very good question actually... not a whole lot left I'd say and you've covered most of the obvious options. I'd say a Secretary Bird or Seriema would probably need an entirely new rig... the Platypus might need one as well... assuming they go the habitat route, an Alligator Snapping Turtle would need a new rig... also, in the event of Aquarium DLC we'd need all sorts of new rigs; fish, sharks, sea turtles, and so on...

I could be wrong, but I feel like a Tree Kangaroo could be cloned from the Red Panda or Binturong...

Erm... Platypuses are Monotremes, not Marsupials...

Also, got two more animals for you; bats (particularly flying foxes) for our potential aviary DLC and the manatee for an aquatic one.

Couldnt Fossa have similar locomotion as the cats? Its sure would have to be adjusted but I feel the skeleton might be similar. But I dont know much about fossas, so correct me if I am wrong.

The Margay and the Marbled Cat are also able to do it. I hope they've included this for the Clouded Leopard in the Game. Didn't even know that they can do this. The Margay was the only Cat I knew of that can do it before I've researched the Topic

Removing avian birds as they're currently not in the game. I imagine there would need to be several rigs for those.

Smaller terrestrial bird rig - for birds like roadrunners that can fly but also spend a lot of time on the ground. I also think we might could have a long thin bird rig for wading birds - they could also potentially fly if avian mechanics are added, but if they just stick to wading or more ground based in this body form, things like herons, cranes and storks could be used.

A small cat rig - I think this one may be the most important. We're getting a medium sized one with the clouded leopard, at least I'm pretty sure it'll be medium sized. Need something for ocelots, lynx and other smaller cats.

Medium to small blocky type of rig -they may can use existing rigs but I'm not sure. I'm thinking of things like beavers, wombats, capybara (which aren't that small) and porcupines.

Small , then lanky animal rig - If not for the meerkat I'd say Frontier could probably skip over this one, but I think that's an animal that's too important to leave out. That would potentially open the way for other mongooses and potentially civets.

A low to the ground, compactly muscular rig - thinking of the wolverines out there as an example for animals that could use this. Tasmanian Devil might could fit here or but on the medium to small blocky rig.

There's other animals that would require their own individual rig I'd think - sloths, platypus for example but unlike the meerkat they're not as iconic or zoo staples, or quite as heavily requested. I think they could get away with putting the sloth in a new type of exhibit. Don't get me wrong, I want these animals but I don't know if they'll invest the effort for what would likely be one time use, on animals that are not as high profile. Of course there's some I may be forgetting, and if they're truly high profile, zoo staples and heavily requested they might.

I think that's all, as I think other animals could be done from existing rigs, of course with major modification.
