Winter 2023 DLC Speculation

Endangered pack. I would see it as a spiritual successor to the conservation pack, but as an animal pack.

Trouble with that is that it's challenging to find seven habitat animals that are iconic enough to sell a pack while still being endangered or critically endangered. There are some, but then a lot more are pretty niche. Though, this could be how I get my hands on the Sumatran rhinoceros, so I'm all for it.

Yeah I did, I don’t think they need to be aviary birds though, I think they would be fine out in the open when you compare it to the other birds we have. Frontier doesn’t really care about the housing a lot too. The kiwi is 90% in night houses in zoos, but they showcased it in the broad daylight, aviaries are possible to make custom, so I dont think there’s any reason they can’t add Secretary Bird.

Fair points, but I wasn't making an argument. I was just pointing out a possibility.

Hamadryas, definitely the most iconic baoon

What baboon species would you prefer? I’m more partial to the hamadryas

Geladas. After seeing them at the Bronx Zoo they’re my favourite.

Would love a 'Savannah' / 'Scrublands' animal pack along the lines of the below:

1. Blackbuck
2. Gerenuk
3. Honey badger
4. Hamadryas baboon
5. Patagonian mara
6. Southern ground hornbill
7. Collared peccary
8. WTE bee-eaters or normal exhibit Egyptian tortoise

"Iconic" is probably the wrong word, but it's definitely the one with the biggest captive presence.

Not baboons! I will die on this hill. Geladas are not a subtitute for real baboons. If we get the gelada, the baboon is still needed.

I unironically want this animal

They are definitely impressive looking

Wellington Zoo used to keep king baboon spiders. They were the only non-tarantula exotic spider in New Zealand. Super cool.

The most iconic baboons isnt one particular species imo. Its just the stereotypical or classic baboon. So i guess something like the olive baboon comes pretty close

2 monkeys? In Planet zoo? Might as well ask for a unicorn

So would anyone else want to see fish in the exhibit boxes? I think it’s definitely possible, it could add some nice flair to certain zoo sections. Like African cichlids near some African habitats, or red belly piranhas in a South America section. I don’t think we will see fully aquatic habitat animals, but I think this way we can still get some fish representing in game.

Damn I gotta get a handle on that, although I wouldn’t say the baboon is needed if we get the Gelada. It’s pretty close, and at least we have something to represent a baboon like species.

Even if it’s not regular fish we could see things like Eels, Octopus, Piranha, Seahorses, Lionfish etc.

Someone on reddit said geladas look like drag queen baboons and I can't unsee it.

Yeah would be pretty nice.

Not unless they figure out a way to make different exhibit models share a box. Having clownfish in one tank and damselfish in another, instead of all together, would be a massive let down.

A bunch of African cichlids would be cool, though.

Yeah agree, while its not technically a true baboon, its a baboon i every way other then geneticly. Would definetly scratch my baboon itch, even tho i would prefer the hamadryas

Far from perfect picks but you could go - secretarybird, Sumatran rhino, sea otter, saiga, Geoffrey's spider monkey, Goodfellows tree kangaroo, Ongar (oddball) (I'm not choosing an exhibit animal right now)
