Winter 2023 DLC Speculation

Problem for me and this roster is that without the Wolverine, there’s only one top 10 meta wishlist animal (baboon). Usually we get at least 2, plus even though we got 2 birds in this pack, I don’t think we NEED 2 birds for a pack like this. In the quarterly battle of birds vs mammals, mammals win it this time, I won’t even complain if we don’t get any birds. I don’t think they’re necessary for a mountains pack. Plus I think having 2 of the same kind of bovid (cattle) is a stretch, Markhor and takin in the same pack are different enough from eachother imo.
one exception for birds.
i will drop dead if we don't get the himalayan monal
 
Two caprines from different regions >>>>>> Two Himalayan caprines.

Sorry Markhor fans but getting an Asian caprine as well as one from a warmer caprine is way more important than getting two Himalayan caprines. Ideally we'd get loads of caprines (my dream) but really I think what is NEEDED is easily the following:

  1. A caprine from a warmer climate - Barbary Sheep is the obvious candidate, really common in zoos globally, would be our first African caprine and is smaller in size.
  2. A caprine from the Himalayas - Takin is my preferred choice, it is more common in zoos with an extremely striking unique appearance. The markhor is very cool but take away those corkscrew horns and its not too different from the Ibex.
  3. The Musk Ox - This one is just in a complete league of its own and doesn't really compete with the others since its not a mountain animal and is moreso just one of the most iconic animals of the Arctic Tundra we don't have.

Completely agree, but I don’t think we’ll get any animals that break from the theme of a Highlands Pack. In any animal pack trailer/advertisement they’re always in the same environment, which makes me believe they wouldn’t combine a creature from Africa with animals around colder snow peaks. Same reason I think we’ll get Gelada over Hamadryas. But I do love Barbary Sheep’s more than Markhor, but then again I love any caprines.
 
I mean, I see them on the vicinity of mountains, but like at the base or lower altitudes. I can't see them as a mountainous species...

Ahh, what kinda monster has the forums allowed to enter this community?
I can understand the impression it's a tundra only-animal in that case, it really does fit in both though. I mean, it definitely fits in tundra for sure.
Perhaps the Wolverine and Grey Fox can be anniversary animals.
