Winter DLC Speculation

For grassland (if that's what we're getting), I'd go with:

Armadillo sp. (since that's all but confirmed, though it wouldn't be my choice)
Guanaco
Emu
A macropod (lots of choices but probably red-necked wallaby)
Echidna
Hamadryas baboon or grey langur
Crested porcupine
Not sure of what exhibit animal - maybe a cobra
This lineup is basically perfect, I’d just trade out the guanaco for something else. Grey crowned crane, Patagonian mara, a coatimundi species, or if a “clone” is a must, black rhino would all suit me better.

Agreed that the armadillo is likely to be the weak link, unfortunately.

Oh I would really be super-hyper-mega-happy if it would be a South American/Latin American/Amazonian Animal Pack...but I doubt they will return to regional packs :-(
And it is so mean, cause when they teased the Wetlands Pack early this year revealing the Capybara and the Spectacled Caiman, everything pointed towards it, too and I was so disappointed when we got the Wetlands Pack. In the meantime I made my peace with the Nile Lechwe, the Water Buffalo and the Spectacled Caiman we got instead of a Spectacled Bear, but now they are doing it again with Armadillo, igniting this tiny little flame of hope that is still somewhere burning inside me, knowing a Latin America Pack or Amazonian Animal Pack is not very likely... :-(
 
I too would rather have something else other then the guanaco. Of course if it gets in I’ll definitely find a way to use them from time to time. The black rhino isn’t a clone at all. It’s very unique in size, shape, and other physical differences to the white rhino. I don’t really expect a grassland pack since frontier always finds a way to throw a curve ball. I still definitely believe all prop animals in game find a way into the game since half of them got in already. Really no reason to doubt it. I do got a hunch the maned wolf gets in tomorrow if it’s a grassland related pack tho.
 
I know it’s too many animals for one pack, but my grassland picks are any of these:
  • Chital
  • Nilgai
  • Blackbuck
  • Indian leopard
  • Saiga
  • Eland
  • Kudu
  • African crane
  • Serval
  • Caracal
  • Grey langur
  • Impala
  • Rhea
  • Maned wolf
  • Secretary bird
The tour guide update is cute! I used to lead tours around the zoo and one of my favourite groups was the under 12 kids. We wore green polos, and the kids all had bright yellow shirts to wear for the day. We told them that they were all slices of cheese, and we two guides were the mouldy bread on the ends, so they had to stay in the sandwich at all times! Great way to keep kids where you can see them.
 
Our local zoo has six banded armadillos. These guys inhabit the grasslands of South America. Hopefully it’s these little guys and the armadillo toy just referred to no species in particular. Since PZ needs a armadillo I’ll take the nine banded species as their still a great choice but would definitely prefer the six banded personally.
 
If we do indeed get a walkthrough exhibit, what can we see it being? If it is a Grasslands pack, I could easily see budgies or rainbow lorikeets being the first foray into flying birds. If it leans closer to South/Latin America, show me a macaw or toucan!
 
Grassland Animal Pack
  • Black-footed ferret (EN)
  • Black rhino (CR)
  • Roosevelt elk (LC)
  • Grévy's zebra (EN)
  • Saiga antelope (CR)
  • Maned Wolf (NT)
  • Blackbuck (LC)
  • Giant girdled lizard (VU) [exhibition]
Yes, thank you! Someone besides me actually has black rhino in the wishlist!!
But I too gotta say, Roosevelt elk could be replaced with an emu just for biogeographical balancing

Rainbow lorikeets could be perfect for the walkthrough exhibits, I'm sure we will see a new walkthrough animal in the next few updates surely

I love the black rhino too! It's even on my wishlist. It just doesn't seem as lucrative after getting the southern white rhino. After, getting the red deer, elk for me kind of feel the same way. The thing is, I could sit here all day, picking which animals I want and which I don't. I have to admit though, there have been multiple species that I thought I didn't want, but once they were added to the game, I fell in love with them.
 
I do gotta say as much as I and us fellow zoo nerds are gonna love a potential grassland pack or whatever other theme it is pack I was really hoping we would get aviaries or aquariums or something huge to get some more casual fans excited for PZ again. I want this game to keep being supported and a pack like that is what we need to really build that buzz that the aquatic pack had for the game

Same for me. They could throw almost any pack my way and I would purchase it, but without something new to excite the casual players, I fear that this game may meet its end sooner than we'd like it to
