Maybe the mungo instead of the bear ...
Winter DLC Speculation

Its dangerous to go alone, take this!
I was very very excited for this 1.11 update and the dlc, that surprised me, but now im more excited for the inclusion of the new exhibit and bats, this will open us so much possibilities, let´s see if Frontier surprises us this time 
What if one of these days we get another Africa-focused dlc? I would prefer 100000000% more a South America focused, but this is a cool idea: The Safari Animal Pack.
Why not a black rhino? Why not a dromedary? Why not a mantled guereza/other african monkeys? Why not a Shoebill? I expect something like this, so here my opinion:
Black rhinos are cool, but maybye the white rhino is enough. The dromedary can perfectly be a free anniversary animal. Hamadryas baboons are so cool, so no more african monkeys in this idea. The shoebill have been replaced by the secretary bird because the secretary is a very cool animal from zoo tycoon 2, but shoebill fits too.
I discarded animals like the grey crowned crane, the crested porcupine and the panther chameleon
I selected some exotic African representations from the deserts (Addax,Hamadryas Baboon) The Grasslands (Honey Badger,Secretary Bird,Black Mamba) Forests and Rainforests (Fossa, Red River Hog) And Rivers and lakes (Nile Crocodile). This is a very good pack for me

Hmmm. I don‘t know about others on here, but I‘d be pretty disappointed if we wouldn‘t get a European species with this theme because this area is still lacking overall (and mountains are one of the areas where Europe shines the most). I can understand including Chamois would be a letdown to some when we already have enough other ungulates in this pack, but animals like the Alpine Marmot, the Capercaillie or even the Mountain Hare would be really interesting imo.
I'd love all of those. Griffon Vulture would also be nice for the Walkthrough Exhibit
I must insist on this one. I've been wanting this damn bird since forever.
That is true. There are already three mountain goat species I would like to See in the game and I really cannot decide between them. At the moment my Ranking is Markhor, then Takin, then Barbary Sheep.
1. Takin
2. Markhor
3. Mountain Goat
For me

Same, except mountain goat doesn't even factor in for me. If we get another caprid from NA I'd like the Bighorn sheep. More versatile.
Is it? How common are bighorn sheep outside of American zoos? I would have assumed that the urial or the Barbary sheep was more globally widespread than the bighorn.
Edit: I missed that you were specifically talking about North American caprids.
Personally, though, I want the markhor. Very majestic.
Apparently there is hint at the end of Castle Myers scenario about himalayas.
I still don't understand why 'birds' were considered likely to begin with. One bat does not hint towards a full DLC of birds - if anything it suggests we might get some more unique exhibit animals that may include birds.
A mountain pack seems more seasonally appropriate and fits the mould of what we should expect.
What hint? I haven't bought the DLC yet but that sounds intriguing. And the choice of the himalayan brown bear for the scenario was also curious.
I never saw birds as likely as perhaps others did here. At the moment I think they are introduced in the same way as bats (until Frontier proofs me wrong). And a whole pack with exhibit animals is really not the pack I would like to have (A mixture of habitat and exhibit birds would be another thing I really would support). A general taiga/tundra or a mountains pack would make a Lot of sense for Winter DLC if it is nothing special again (Birds of course, Islands,...).
Now we really only can have ideas of which dlc can be, because well, everithing was pointing out for a nocturnal or other dlcs and we get a "Twilight Pack". Noneone expected that, and less a bat. So now we can´t even have something aproximated for what Frontier is preparing for us
Which is still kind of a nocturnal pack just not an animal pack and with a lot less interesting roster that what we were predicting (other than the bat)
