Zookeper's Collection: Dream vs Nightmare scenario

You know the drill, what will be the farewell pack of your dreams, and what would leave really sour taste in your mouth?
 
Dream scenarios: 12 animals, all habitat, big focus on SA and birds, leaks turno out to be false for the tree ro and baboon.

1. Southamerican coati
2. Patagonian mara
3. Greater rhea
4. Howler monkey
5. Great White pelican
6. Secretary bird
7. Palla's cat
8. Blackbuck
9. Scarlet ibis
10. Musk ox
11. Sea otter
12. Mandarín duck.

Nightmare scenario: 7 animals with heavy focus on África and North América and basically a collection of the animals i consider the less interesting picks when there are other options i like more.

1. American black bear
2. American flamingo
3. Serval
4. Alpine marmot
5. Impala
6. White tailed deer
7. Baboon
 
Dream - They used up all their extra time to make a DLC with more animals than usual, at least 12:
  • Short-Beaked Echidna
  • Honey Badger
  • Pacific Walrus
  • Hamadryas Baboon
  • Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo
  • Secretary Bird
  • Shoebill
  • Coatimundi
  • Musk Ox
  • Geoffrey's Spider Monkey
  • Coquerel's Sifaka
  • Coyote
  • Gentoo Penguin
  • Nile Crocodile
  • Exhibit - Parson's Chameleon
  • WE - Macaws
Nightmare - Standard size animal pack that's just clones:
  • American Flamingo (They're fine, but they're overrated.)
  • Roe Deer (Or some other ungulate that I don't care about.)
  • Mugger Crocodile
  • Grey Kangaroo
  • American badger
  • Six-Banded Armadillo
  • Some breed of domestic equine (unless it's a Shetland Pony).
  • Exhibit - Any insect/spider/bug.
 
Dream:
12 habitat animals
in the roaster let there be animals from every continent
at least some habitat birds or primates
at least one domestic animal

My ideal roaster:
1. Secretary bird
2. South American coati
3. Hamadryas baboon
4. Walrus
5. Blackbuck
6. Goodfellow's tree kangaroo
7. Flemish giant rabbit
8. Geoffroy's spider monkey
9. Ocelot
10. Greater rhea
11. American black bear
12. Great white pelican
13. Macaw species (WE)

Nightmare:
No birds
No primates
No domestic animal

My dream scenario is pretty simple, just have the tree kangaroo and echidna in the pack as well as the blue gum from PC2 in the free update and I’ll be absolutely ecstatic regardless of what the rest of the pack looks like. Given both the tree roo and echidna are potentially hinted at by additions to the PlanCo dictionary in April (and porting a tree from one game to another theoretically wouldn’t be that difficult), this could actually be a real possibility - not that I’m going to bank my hopes on it yet!

Nightmare scenario is basic - no Oceania or South America rep, oops all ungulates again, unnecessary clones etc.
 
Best case: not the last pack

Worst case: last pack

A bit more specific though im fine with aby pack that looks like it atleast tried.
The one thats seemingly leaked by the dictionary for example is a okay with me, as theres no bad apples and even if theres no south america in its, 6 out of 8 animals being of underrepresented groups and even 2 primates in one pack would make it a fun and diverse pack spicing up possible builds as much as one pack can.

Meanwhile for the nightmare ungulate + carnivoran Spam would be extremly dull and underwhelming
 
Dream: marmoset/tamarin, spider monkey, coati, mara, Hamadryas baboon, American black bear, European wild cat
Nightmare: Sumatran rhino, marine iguana, leopard seal, golden snub-nosed monkey, soala along with any other animal which has little or no captive presence in real life.
 
Realistic-ish dream:
  • Goodfellow’s Tree Roo
  • Short-Beaked Echidna
  • White Faced Whistling Duck, mandarin duck, wood duck, plumed whistling duck… any duck…
  • Hamadryas Baboon
  • Coati
  • Howler Monkey
  • 
Any small, filler ground bird. Victoria crowned pigeon is my preference, but I could understand some more regional diversity (unless it’s more South America which undeniably needs all it can get, like a spoonbill or scarlet ibis). Other options could be a pick from the African trio of helmeted guineafowl, grey crowned crane, and southern ground hornbill, or an Asian pheasant species.
  • Some more basic zoo scenery, maybe a good variety of statues for every animal in the pack in addition to the usual animal pack signs.

Honestly any combo of the tree roo/echidna/duck and a few South American species + an extra bird or two would be the dream. If I want to be selfish I’d throw in a goose, but that’s really pushing what’s realistic unfortunately.

Nightmare would be another ungulate fest for the fourth time in a row (more than one is pushing it at this point tbh, but the four-six from the last three packs again would be really, really disappointing.) , anything without a bird or having the secretary or shoebill as our only bird (as much as I love them both) or nothing from Latin America. To stay realistic, something akin to Arid or Eurasia like:
  • Secretary Bird
  • Impala
  • Pere David’s Deer
  • Vicuña
  • Canadian Lynx
  • American Black Bear
  • Tibetan Antelope

I just need more monkeys and semi aquatic species. And crossing my fingers so hard for very little representation from the African continent. There is more than enough already.

Absolute musts for me are walrus, sea otter, howler monkey, black and white colobus monkey, spider monkey, and a couple marmosets and tamarins. An elk would be pretty dope, too. I love their call. Would love to hear it echoing through my North American zoo. Outside of that, I’m not that picky.

Don't look into the DLC 18 thread then 😂
