Winter 2023 DLC Speculation

Does anyone know what the big, white book with the Zebra is? Looks cool and reminds me of an big old animal book I had as a kid, but it was light blue with a Polar Bear on it
It's Animal: The Definitive Visual Guide. It's an animal encyclopedia by... The Smithsonian Museum of Natural History.
 
Is more or less normal 😅.
If you think it, the animal guesses aren't the most popular or wanted animals. Just a very strange selection of animals, but not bad.
Let's wait for tomorrow and then see what they have to offer.
The wolverine and takin were both top ten on the meta wish list. Saiga was 30 something and sloth bear is 40 something. These aren't any oddball out of nowhere picks like the quokka.
 
If the animals are what i think they are (takin/wolverine/saiga antelope/sloth bear) it’s a good start for me. Not thrilled with the Sloth Bear but maybe the Spectacled Bear will come next year
I don't think the spectacled bear's inclusion is hurt by this in this. I'm calling it. Asia Pack and Latin America Animal Pack in the spring. That is is we get support obviously, but I think at least two packs next year are likely.
 
Not fan of a Saiga, because not only they are rare but they also seem to struggle in captivity. They are used to big, open spaces and they're very prone to stress - several zoos used to keep them but many of them died because of the stress, injuring themselves on fences, etc.

I think the rest of the presented roster is quite good though - Sloth bear, Takin, Wolverine are three pretty good choices. It will depend on the other animals, but it still has the potential to be 2023's best pack IMO.
 
I just don’t understand why people Just can’t simply be happy we are still getting support for the game. For me that constant support indicates that more content would come in the future so everyone could get animals they want.
Now there you got a point.
Every dlc is a good meaning of more future updates and dlcs! Is just maybe the dissapoint of the moment of not having the expected things. But at time people calm down, I can say it for personal experience.

I mean, I haven't seen evidence that Frontier is addressing the glaring unevenness of a roster that's skewed overwhelmingly towards ungulates and carnivores, building for which won't be very different from building for badgers, sun bears, etc., at the expense of birds and to a lesser extent monkeys. Think about it--what kind of zoo has zero waterfowl but six canines?

If we get another year of DLC consisting entirely of carnivores, ungulates, and the occasional wacky meme animal with little to no captive presence, what does that really add to those of us who want to build realistic zoos?
 
IF its animal pack I hope for:
  • Tanuki (would make it that much closer to a dream for me)
  • Hamadryas Baboon (we need a baboon and it occurs in Asia, haha)
  • Muntjac (a small ungulate and one of the more unique deer)
  • For the exhibit IDK... Unless its birds or microbat I don't really care.
 
Now there you got a point.

You are right in many ways but it clearly didn’t stop with an arid pack that it’s still most hated one.
Just as you said we will see for sure tomorrow.
 
They seem to be kept in china and atleast planned to be kept in more eastern european zoos and in china.
Also one of those 2 zoos has hundreds of them, their captive population is actually far larger then more popular animals like takins or the sloth bear
I promise I'm not trying to argue or be inflammatory, but I'm asking if there is a source. The most recent thing I can find is that as of 2017 the captive saiga population was 4 in a zoo in Kazakhstan and some living in a breeding center, as well as a semi wold population.
