[@slaughterhater]

I’ve got this gut feeling we’re going to get the Tasmanian Devil and some other requested animals based on the devs’ tweet about mixing something together. I think this is alluding to the fun little skit they’re going to do on Monday’s special livestream.

[@nickankhazali2995]

If we were to get a woodland pack I’d like to see the Black Bear, Elk, Tasmanian Devil, Wild Boar and Bald Eagle

[@jurassicguineapig6697]

Tasmanian devil is gonna be in the island pack no doubt and we should wait for flying birds until the avian pack

[@slaughterhater]

I do think this is going to be an island pack of some kind

[@annak2764]

Yesss give me a boar!

[@czarcilas3298]

I can't wait to see what Planet Zoo planned for us!!!!!🥳🥳🥳 As for me, the most interesting are the ideas for dlc from the temperate and the mountains. Personally, I think the wisent was the super animal for the Temperate/Woodlands DLC. The fact that this is a species that was reborn after extinction in the wild and its breeding survived both world wars is amazing. I also really want to see roe deer, wild boar, takin, Tatra chamois, Pallas's cat, European wildcat and I hope that someday they will be added to the game. I mentioned a lot of native animals for me hahaha😅😅😅 Greetings from Poland 😊😊

[@nickdentoom1173]

I mean, we don't need any more NA animals anyways (We have 27 of them, meanwhile Oceania and Europe combined don't even have that many). We have over 50 African and over 40 Asian animals (So we don't any more of them either). I prefer frontier focusing on the three regions we have the least animals of, the already mentioned Europe and Oceania, and SA, who only has 17.

[@PachaKamak]

Really great ideas here and finally a fellow CC who doesnt screams fish or birds for the thousands time!

[@OldCountry]

Haha I think we all go through the fish and bird phase at one point in time. Thanks for the kinds words though!

[@kaugummigeschmacke6905]

Frontier be like "let's announce an america themed pack on 9/11"

[@reiangossling6395]

"A second bear has hit the Twin Towers."

[@WildWorld81]

Excellent video! Seeing as we have a special livestream confirmation for next week we’ll be finding out soon!

[@OldCountry]

Ikr? I'm stoked!

[@nrepetti24]

I’m ngl I love these deep dive videos from old country they get me so hyped and now I know another pack is on the way! I think the best pack that I would personally prefer is a highlands version, with the Andean bear and takin instead and some other highland animals, but I don’t want to make this comment crazy long so I won’t list them all. I also am praying that we get some serious South America animal pack as the alternate to the South America pack with a lot of good aditions, such as the coati, golden Lion tamarins, howler monkeys, kinkagous, and more. Tbh I just don’t think planet zoo has enough animals to represent the Amazon. Also I personally would prefer a tree kangaroo over a possum, but that’s just me. Thanks again old country for these amazing videos, can’t wait to see the next dlc!!!!!❤

[@beaverhart2566]

Personally I can't see the Bald Eagle happening. If frontier were to introduce flying birds, I think they would introduce a flying bird pack, rather than drip feeding us birds. Having said that... My temperate/woodlands roster would include: North American black bear North American elk Collared Peccary/ wild boar Tasmanian devil Red squirrel walk through exhibit

[@nickdentoom1173]

I mean, i feel like flying birds this late into the games lifespan is impossible anyways, considering that would require a complete overhaul of the core mechanics of the game, which so late into the games lifespan takes to much effort than its worth, especially since its likely only a small part of the games creators still work on the game, due to the unavoidable Planet Coaster 2, which i feel like will be announced this year for a release next year, considering we are already 7 years into the Planet Coaster lifespan and next year would be 8. Planet Zoo released 3 years after Planet Coaster, however, the moment Planet Zoo arrived, we didn't get any Planet Coaster updates anymore. So we likely won't get anything major that requires a complete overhaul of the game anyways.

[@hepabrothers5709]

Amazing ideas! I would LOVE to see this pack, if contains the tassie and the kiwi could be an amazing pack, now that we have announced the livestream!! Nice video! 👍

[@StaceyFiles]

I reckon we’ll be getting an Oceania Pack. We could get the Kiwi, Tazzy Devil, Little Penguin, Tree Kangaroo, Quokka and so much more.

[@nectxrofthegods]

I know this is very un unpopular but I want more ungulates. A lot of people think that there are too many but they are so diverse and there are three ungulate families that lack representation in game whatsoever. (Those being chevrotains/mouse deer, musk deer and peccaries) also weirdly we don't have any small ungulates and I would love to get a duiker or a small deer like a pudu

[@OldCountry]

As long as they're not African, bring them on!

[@nickdentoom1173]

Whats odd is that the Dikdik was reported to be in the game during the press releases of the game when people could play during Gamescom, but for some reason, it was taken out.

[@seiretzym]

we need more asian ungulates

[@nectxrofthegods]

@@seiretzym absolutely! My main picks for them would be reeves' muntjac, siberian musk deer, any chevrotain species, takin,blackbuck, gaur,nilgai and maybe axis deer

[@nickdentoom1173]

@@seiretzym Like, at the same time i agree, but at the same time: We have enough Asian animals as is (Asia has more animals than Europe, SA and Oceania combined).

[@AlmightyThagomizer]

You were off on the theme, but correct on half the habitat species! You were also on the right track with the Oceania-heavy roster. I still think this Temperate pack is likely for the future, but my prediction at this point would be: * American black bear * Elk * Mute swan * Eurasian wild boar * Eastern box turtle I think the echidna and sugar glider are good alternatives. I'd also consider American porcupine, wild turkey, and wisent as potential substitutions for some of my choices.

[@isaacthemonke233]

Since its most likely a scenery pack, they should have a Appalachia/Deep Southern theme

[@slaughterhater]

I can’t wait for the special livestream next week to see if it’s woodlands or islands. If it’s a woodlands scenery pack and the Tasmanian Devil is confirmed, a lot of players will buy it. The Tasmanian Devil also fits Frontier’s message of conservation.

[@steliosstanis2125]

I think For Autumn to get Temperate DLC🐻🦌🐗🌳🌿: 1) American Black Bear 2) Elk or White-Tailed Deer 3) Wild Boar 4) Short-Beaked Echidna 5) A Exhibit Turtle🐢 (Alligator Snapping Turtle or Red-Eared Silder Turtle) or Walkthrough Exhibit Red Squirrel 🐿

[@slaughterhater]

I think it’s going to either be the North Island Brown Kiwi or the Kakapo that’s included in the pack. I agree it’s likely going to be a Temperate/Woodlands DLC. I also agree the alligator snapping turtle works better in an exhibit. They are not habitat animals. The Children's Aquarium at Fair Park has one. It is in a tank. It is not outside. If it was a habitat animal, people would never see it unless there is an underwater viewing area. I also do think we’re going to get birds. There is evidence in the large staff room to suggest this. There is a painting with a macaw hanging on the wall and a magazine with a blurred image of another macaw. You know Frontier likes to drop Easter eggs or hints of future animal rosters. I’ve had this gut feeling they are saving the Tasmanian Devil for a temperate/woodlands pack. They know everybody wants it but they also know everybody wants birds. I can see the American Black Bear making it in. The Fort Worth Zoo has two. It is one of two major bear species missing from the game. The sloth bear and the American Black Bear. The Bald Eagle will introduce our first bird of prey to the game. It also fits their message of conservation perfectly and it's a huge conservation success story. I think the black bear, elk and bald eagle will round out North America nicely. During their summer give away, the devs did hint at the river otter when they were playing picture charade. But it very well could have been the Asian small clawed otter from the Wetlands animal pack. This is my prediction for the Woodlands DLC: American Black Bear Elk or Bald Eagle Tasmanian Devil Echidna or Brush Tailed Possum North Island Brown Kiwi or Kakapo

[@nrepetti24]

Yeah I agree I just think you missed another huge bear species: the Andean bear. The Smithsonian zoo recently had cubs and they are so cute!!!

[@slaughterhater]

Yeah, I realized too late that I forgot the Spectacled/Andean Bear. Those three species will round out all the major bear species commonly kept in zoos.

[@nrepetti24]

@@slaughterhater yes definetly. I hope they will somehow add them all!

[@slaughterhater]

There was someone on DeLadySigner’s comments section that does not believe me that we are likely going to get the Kakapo. In the large staff room, there is a green mug that has a cute little face on it that looks like the Kakapo. The evidence is right there and macaws sit at #10 on the bird meta wishlist. The demand for them is there. They did the same thing with the sloth. They teased it on a mug. There is also a painting of a macaw hanging on the wall. We are going to get more birds.

[@Peregrin27]

Nice ideas ! I also think we'll get a woodlands/temperate pack. I think the white-tailed deer would be more likely, because the Elk is very similar to the red deer (but so is grizzly vs. himalayan or bengal vs. sibirean, so who knows). I'd like to throw in the yellow-throated marten. This animal became very popular in European zoos and looks awesome.

[@nickdentoom1173]

If we get a woodlans pack... i feel like us getting the Wisent/European Bison is extremely likely, especially since they are also called the European Wood Bison because their historical ranges are woodlands and i do think if we ever get a shot at the European Bison, its in a Woodlands pack cuz the Takin would be most likely in a Highlands/Mountain pack. The only thing against them though is that they are less tameable and as such less abundant in zoos (But i mean, Frontier doesn't even look at this, considering we got the Bengal Tiger over the Sumatran Tiger, despite the Sumatran being the most abundant in zoos). If we get an Islands Pack, i think the Tasmanian Devil gets reserved for that. I think the European Hedgehog would be a likely candidate as well for a Woodlands pack. Europe in itself is underrepresented in the game as well (With only 14 habitat animals and only 2 of those are the only animals that only live in Europe). The other underrepresented continent is Oceania. So if we get a woodlands pack, i rather prefer we get animals from those continents, since the other continents already get clogged up animals anyways (With a lot of them being reskins of already existing animals anyways).

[@christianrietz8582]

I would rather see the Spectacled Bear as the ABB and a Pudu or Muntjac rather than an Elk. Kiwi would be nice, but on the other hand I think a woodlands pack should definitely offer a monkey (Howler) and of course my much beloved Coati :-)

[@OldCountry]

Sadly Howler Monkeys are exclusively Tropical animals otherwise I'd love to see more SA monkeys!

[@24_Panda]

Yea, the closest thing to a woodland monkey that I can think of is a squirrel, and that would be really boring lol

[@reiangossling6395]

The golden snub-nosed monkey would fit a temperate pack but it's only kept in captivity in Asia (maybe there's a few in Europe but none that I've seen). I still think it would be a great wildcard addition though.

[@ZitroKingCX]

But first prediction was so spot on🤩 Kudos to you😁 I wish we could have gotten the echidna as well but I know we can't have too much in one pack😅

[@jurassicguineapig6697]

I they would definitely add turkeys and I would like American black bear and a deer of some type. Getting a Virginia opossums would be better in my opinion. For the exhibit animal a flying squirrel of some kind.

[@OldCountry]

Virginia Opossums could be interesting, personally I don't care about it either which way, but the reason I didn't include it is because idk how it would work in franchise considering the animal only lives a few years and pops out many babies. Seems possibly unmanageable

[@nickdentoom1173]

You do realize Thanksgiving isn't a thing outside the US right and with Frontier being a UK based company, that is unlikely to happen.

[@jurassicguineapig6697]

@@nickdentoom1173 yea I do I don’t say the pack was thanksgiving themed

[@slaughterhater]

I agree. They are very unlikely to consider the Eastern Turkey since they are in Europe and they do not celebrate Thanksgiving there. That is strictly an American and Canadian holiday.

[@jurassicguineapig6697]

Yea but turkeys are still a popular forest animal

[@jamespenny7816]

I think your first pack idea is really great. At first I thought about changing out the Elk for the Wild Boar, but the Wild Boar could show up in the winter pack, since it should correspond to the European pack. Unless they solely went Tundra, then I would greatly want it to be the anniversary animal.

[@kiwibird6671]

My list is the American Black Bear, North Island Brown Kiwi, but instead of Elk, I have Reeve’s Munjac, another essential deer species we need. Finally fir the exhibit animal of a the Japanese Giant Salamander or a Hellabender

[@redpandareggie3642]

Pileated Woodpecker would be a fantastic species for the walkthroughs, but also they are a great woodlands species

[@mixelmusprime5275]

I do think that the next DLC would be a woodlands pack as well since the two previous DLCs were based around the season that they were released in. The habitat animals that I want in a woodlands pack are the American black bear, the Brazilian tapir, the European bison and the ring-tailed coati. I think that the exhibit animal would be three options. The first option is another snake such as the corn snake since, we've had three DLCs in a row that have a caudate in them and three DLCs in a row that have walkthrough exhibit animals. So, I think there's going to be three DLCs with a snake in them starting with the arid pack with the desert horned viper. The second option is the Eurasian red squirrel since it's found in plenty of animal places in Europe due to the fact that they're rare in the UK from the invasive grey squirrel introduced. There's also the fact that squirrels are iconic woodland animals and there's a scenery piece in the game with a squirrel on it. The third option is some sort of golden orb weaver since they're the only other animal that I can think of that can work as a walkthrough exhibit animal since there is such thing as spider walkthroughs such as the In With The Spiders walkthrough in ZSL London zoo. Another reason why I think they could be added to the game is because there hasn't had a new arachnid in the game just like the fact that there wasn't a new snake before the arid pack.

[@sampicano]

an american black bear is a not a headliner, a tasmanian devil is, so is a manatee, so is a secretary bird, but an american black bear (when we ALREADY have the asiatic black bear) is by no means drawing anyone into buying this pack (anyone who was going to buy this dlc, was already going to buy it, the black bear is not a draw)

[@animalplushworld100]

I mean, if we do get a woodlands pack, I think it would be really cool.

[@rodrigorodrigues9100]

I do believe we shouldn't just think they are following 2021 theming, it looks to me they're trying to come full circle. If you look back to 2020 DLC's SA represents Tropical and Australia represents Arid. That said, december DLC could shape up as a mix of Aquatic, Europe and Arctic as a Polar Animal Pack, with sea otter, walrus, wolverine for exemple and even the elk representing "Grasslands" as a tundra animal. For the next one, I can see a Woodlands Pack bringing tassie devil to round up Australia; american black bear and wild turkey along with NA building pieces, native/inuit pieces to complement North America; wild boar as it wouldn't fit in the Polar Animal Pack; and finally the hellbender salamander as a normal exhibit box animal.

[@OldCountry]

But we didn't get any Australian animals in Arid? Arid very clearly represented Africa Pack with its exclusively North African roster

[@rodrigorodrigues9100]

Yeah, but the most wanted animal of Australia is the tassie, Australian arid animals are pretty much covered I think. Also everything points to the tassie coming in this DLC. I think they just wanted to finish Africa.

[@OldCountry]

@@rodrigorodrigues9100 yeah that's why I have the pack split between North America and Oceania... 😅 I think we're misreading each other here haha

[@rodrigorodrigues9100]

I don't disagree haha just think there's more to it, it looks to me they are trying to make the whole batch of DLCs to be balanced.

[@nickdentoom1173]

@@OldCountry Well... it wasn't an exclusivley North African roster, since the African Crested Porcupine can also be found in Europe. And both the Dromedary Camel and Sand Cat can be found in Asia as well.

[@TheJoyof_LIFE]

13:50 i feel like the alligator snapping turtle would be too dangerous as a walkthrough exhibit animal.That turtle can chomp through watermelons in one bite

[@OldCountry]

I think they should be standard exhibit animals. I apologize, it does sound confusing with the Sloth comparison

[@sacredscars5758]

Wolverine, Elk, River Otter, Echidna, & Sugar Glider I'd love to see the Bald Eagle, but that seems unlikely for a woodlands pack. I'd love to see the bear, but i think we've seen that through the Grizzly...

[@redpandareggie3642]

Looking forward to this one

[@Aylasuki]

Honestly neither the black bear or the elk are that interesting, I would like to see some of the alternate animals instead, the boar and the turkey f.e.

[@Mitcidiciwje]

I think with the mixing hint we're going to get a fun little skit where they dress up as old school rappers and dj's and create a mix tape that hints towards the next animals. Think about it! It could be a rap song about the tasmanian devil and other requested animals. The tweet was hinting at mixing them all together in this mix tape.

[@Calleo-qv3dj]

I could see a Bald Eagle exhibit followed by a snowy owl exhibit in December tbf

[@reiangossling6395]

Tassie or bust, the devil has waited long enough. That and the kiwi are the only animals that I think would be disappointing to see left out of a temperate pack.

[@Mr.M3447]

Besides the walkthrough video, do you think there’s a chance for an exhibit expansion update to make them more interesting and customizable

[@OldCountry]

Sadly probably not this late into the game

[@chrisidk3992]

i would honestly like it better as a animal pack just because amarican sceanery seems a little too speafic to be used lot and will be gated on similar to twiligth or even some parts of south amarica pack

[@chewiegaming7739]

I would be really happy with those animals but since they wrote mixed things up on their special live stream announcement I am wondering if it will be another animal pack. Since SEA they have had a scenery pack and the next one a animal pack. Apart from Twilight. But I Wonder of they might have decided to go with animal packs back to back. Just a thought, do not think that is the case but you never know.

[@rafaelmoreira1765]

Wow I really thought that the red squirrel or something like that would be in this pack

[@ventureworld8046]

The pack I would like to see would be one of these; Islands Pack - Matchie's Tree Kangaroo, Tasmanian Devil, Walrus, Japanese Serow with Madagascan Day Gecko as the exhibit animal or Budgerigar in walkthrough Highlands Pack - Andean Bear, Pallas Cat, Markhor, Gelada Baboon with Greek Tortoise as the exhibit animal or Himalayan Monal in walkthrough. Domestic Pack - Shetland Pony, Nigerian Dwarf Goat, Pot-bellied Pig, Scottish Highland Cow with Domestic Rabbits in the walkthrough. If a Woodland or Forest pack were to be released, I would include. American Black Bear Reeve's Muntjac Wolverine North American Porcupine with either Spiny Softshell turtle as the exhibit or Prevost's Squirrel in the walkthrough
