Here's the thread in case if you want to see it up close! forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/map-of-the-entire-roster-by-approximate-animal-distribution.584721/
I may be too obsessed with this game, but really there’s almost no animals I would be mad at getting besides stuff like domestic dogs and cats. Hell give me a farm pack with cows, chickens, goats, whatever. I’ll buy it.
domestic dog would be so funny I’d love to have them not
*ngl
@@LeafProductions You said the red river hog was from South America.
It's from africa
💀
If u want cow, goat, sheep, just go play farm games.
If you want cat n dog, go play games like that
@@DBT1007 nah they’re good for planet zoo
I'm surprised that the speculative "lands" biome packs didn't contain woodlands. It would be the perfect vessel for any number of deer species, rare and exotic birds, the wishlist coveted Tazmanian Devil, or even just a subspecies of sloth.
Owls and a sloth would be awesome
@@UnknownBeings160 I want them to add aviary and maybe even birds of prey being trained to do stuff
@@kb6358 that would be pretty cool
An Arabian dlc would also fill out some gaps on this map. I wouldn’t mind to get sand cats, Hamadryas baboons, Adax and more stuff like that. Dessert areas in general are quite underrepresented here but I guess that’s also logical due to harsh circumstances
I would love a Deserts or Drylands pack🏜
@@colinnguyen2222 I personally would switch the black rhino for the desert bighorn sheep
@@colinnguyen2222 not that, I just would love to see more north American desert animals and the desert bighorn sheep is one of them. Sure we have the Dall's sheep but I have not seen ir heard many zoos in person having them on display
This year we could have some "lands", totally agreed. Also, tropical pack will fill the gap of some rainforest species
Seriously, tropical rainforests make up the greatest portion of terrestrial diversity, so it makes sense to add more for that.
@@tuojiangoman3228 Fr fr, there’s so many species I find in rainforests. Even a tiny spot can have a huge variety
Spectacled bears actually live in a variety of habitats in the Andean region, from semi-desert similar to the Sonoran desert in Peru, to wet moorlands in Ecuador, to tropical forest in Colombia, but they definitely would fit best in a mountains pack since the Andes is really the only place they live in South America
My most-wanted South American animal is the Patagonian mara, which would have fit in the Grasslands pack but didn't make it. I think its best shot might be in some kind of Children's Zoo pack, which is a concept that seems to be divisive within the community but I think has a lot of potential.
For a highlands animal pack I'd love to see an Asian pheasant or a Himalayan monal, and for another oddball choice maybe a rock hyrax.
Most of the animals that could live in Scandinavian areas are attributed to other regions or biomes, but I'd really love to have Musk Ox and Wolverines, and maybe even Arctic Hares (complete with a changing pelt, though I doubt PZ would go that far). Otherwise I'd be very into a tropical, woodland or island pack.
I’d say as a breather between lands packs (if the theory is correct if not it would still be great though) we should get an Oddities DLC. This DLC would focus on the oddest animals from around the world. It could include Kiwis (my beloved), the long nosed whip snake as an exhibit animal or one of those insect that have designs on them that mimic their predators, the aye aye, the okapi, a variation of echidna, and maybe a star nosed mole or pink fair armadillo.
i would love an okapi!
@@LeafProductions ???
@@LeafProductions okapis are in the game?
okapi crying the corner becuase we forgot it's already in game :'(
I love how there was an okapi challenge yet nobody remembers them still 😂
I really want more small animals in the game like prairie dogs and meerkats, I think porcupines would be great! As well as maybe agouti and opossum
One of the reasons South America has less representation than the other speciose regions (Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia) is likely that there are less large animals in South America compared to these regions. Larger species are overall more represented in Planet Zoo than smaller species (and for good reason), and for larger species the only species that's missing from South America is, as you mentioned, the Andean Bear, which may not be the most popular pick since there are multiple bear species already, though that's not me saying that the species should be omitted if it fits a future pack. However, one thing to note is that smaller mammals have been getting more representation in recent packs. As such, I would like to see some more South American representation in terms of small mammals. Options could include tamanduas, Chilean pudu, two-toed sloths, ocelot, neotropical primates, and more.
In all seriousness, when I first saw the map and the title "what's missing?", I thought you were going for the need for an Antarctica pack, lol.
I mean, There are also two species of Rhea that would be considered large animals too, and three camelids
@@mrsnake6562 Rheas, yes, but since we already have Llama in the game, I'd be shocked if they ever choose another camelid. The Llama wasn't exactly well recieved to begin with.
@@neilchace1858 We have five different species of one genus, with two animals also being the same species from that genus, so I don't think the other three, being Alpacas, Guanaco and Vicuna with two are actually wild species I don't really see a problem with it. They could also go well into a highlands pack too
More neotropical primates are a must for sure
Maybe anacondas, river dolphins, pirarucu, hyacinth macaws, howler monkeys, saki monkeys, spider monkeys, giant armadillos, bush dogs, margays, elephant seals
i tend to lean more towards build packs, and for those i really think we need a Mexico pack and a Russia pack. its really hard to build anything right now that feels authentically from Mexico city with the tools in game, much less trying to represent other parts of Mexico. For that one, I'd like to see bobcats, coyotes, sloths, tamanduas, maybe spider monkeys, definitely more cacti and desert foliage (American deserts are relatively wet), and just a whole lot more street art and graffiti. Russian architecture is kind of hard to pull since most of what we think of is USSR brutalist concrete, but I'd love to see build pieces for st. petersburg cathedral, decorative brick and wood facade pieces, etc. for animals, we don't have wolverines or walruses. I'd also love to see some yaks or muskox, palas cats, and Baikal seals. i dont think the russian one could be a pure animal pack unless we're down for a lot of ungulates, or if frontier are willing to break their ban on pure aquatic animals.
For a rainforest pack I’d go with
1. Red River Hog
2. Coatimundi
3. Ocelot
4. Howler Monkey
5. Golden Lion Tamarin
6. Shoebill
7. Three Toed Sloth
8. Leaf Cutter Ant
Possibly!
If they throw away "realism" they can just add extinct animals not from so long along but in the recent years. The dodo. The tasmanian tiger. And more.
a few animals that I'd really like to see added to planet zoo:
European Bison
Bighorn Sheep
Elk (Wapiti)
Coyote
Pine Marten
Fisher Cat
I agree that an islands pack is upcoming, sometime, and lorikeets fit this 100% especially with the new walkthrough exhibits. One area that I feel is still lacking is the exhibit animals, there is not enough lizard, snake, turtle, arachnids and arthropod species IMHO, especially when I make replicas of real zoos I find that is where I struggle I most to find complimentary species or the diversity of these animals. Maybe that is just me.
I'm surprised you haven't talked more about Europe, it looks quite empty to me. I thought about making a European zoo recently and it felt like I wouldn't be able to do that much with it, which is a little sad, I felt. Wildcats, boars, puffins, walrus, brown bears, wolverines, squirrels, hares, marmots, porcupines, beavers, weasles, wild goats... there are so many more options.
I would LOVE a farm/petting zoo animals pack, goats, sheeps, cows, pigs and horses. Also ducks an chickings, and maybe even rabbits too.
By the Way, always enjoying your videos🙌🏻☺️ BIG inspiration.
Am I the only one practically begging for an Oceanian Animal Pack, focusing mainly on New Zealand, with Kiwi's, Kakapo's, Little Blue's, Perentie, Tuatara (For Exhibits), Northern Cassowary, Tree Kangaroo's, Grey Kangaroo's, Padamelon, Tassy Devil's ect? Also, I would love Ethiopian Wolves and Gelada (with species cohabitation) or Tibetan Blue Bears if we got a highlands pack.
Probally
@@georgeolaroiu3807 Bruh, why don't you want these amazing creatures in the game?
@@TheOfficialSmudgy pretty sure the only include by DLC!
@@georgeolaroiu3807 Cheapskate, get a life mate, don't bite the hand that feeds you
I would love to see the Takin. We have them at my local zoo and they are really beautiful and really impressive.
To me it's a pretty big deal to get a birds pack and an ocean pack. Some totally different directions I think they could go later on, is a farm animals pack so you can make a petting zoo, a hybrid pack with like ligers, a mythical animals pack, and of course, the classic, extinct animals.
we need a snake pack :P and a domestic petting pack
The sloth would work great as a walkthrough exhibit animal for a tropical pack!
I think an Islands pack would make so much sense. Islands are known for their unique animals. They're also very fragile ecosystems, vulnerable to climate change as well as many other issues (introduced pests, over-development, etc), which matches well with the slightly more conservation focused elements of Planet Zoo.
Based on the map, I think we can all agree that South America, Europe, and Northern Asia could use some love. North America and Australia could also do with some attention but to a lesser extent. Ergo, I think these could be some potential alternative packs:
*Taiga/Timberland Pack:*
- Snow Sheep (Russian relative of the Bighorn Sheep of North America)
- North American Porcupine
- Wolverine
- Snowy Owl
- Red-sided Garter Snake
*Highlands Pack:*
- Vicuña
- Demoiselle crane
- Gee's Golden Languar
- Bighorn Sheep
- Lake Titicaca Frog
*Rainforest Pack:* (focusing on mainland species to avoid conflict with the proposed island pack)
- Mountain Gorilla
- Spider Monkey
- Collared Peccary
- Golden Lion Tamarin
- Emerald Tree Boa
Islands pack exhibit animal ideas:
- Tuatara
- New Caledonian giant gecko (leachianus gecko)
- Madagascar giant hognose snake
- Dwarf reticulated python
A petting zoo! cows, donkeys, chickens, rabbits, ponies. And that last one could be an attraction for the kids. As a child I always loved going to that part of the zoo to touch the animals.
I’m biased toward cold climates so I instantly noticed the lack of taiga animals. Here’s some I’d like to see added to the game. Maybe in a taiga pack?
Wolverine, fisher, snowshoe hare, Siberian musk deer, black bear (has some cool colour variations), boreal chorus frog, Western capercaillie, wild boar, common adder, blue-spotted salamander, red-sided garter snake, or really any amphibian or reptile from colder climates. There aren’t many but they are sorely lacking ingame.
Considering the Ocelot didn't get included in the Twilights pack either... it can also be included in the Islands pack, since it lives on Trinidad and Margarita islands as well. Thats your South America representation as well.
I also feel like we need another Tortoise species. Island animal Madagascar that isn't a monkey or the Fossa, Radiated Tortoise is the choice.
North America inclusion in an Island Pack... enter the Hawaiian Monk Seal.
I also feel like we might get a Drylands pack... which can put in more animals from Northern Africa in the game, which makes the African Elephant Shrew or the African Golden Wolf interesting inclusions. Alternatively... for a Mountain pack... the Barbary sheep could be considered as a North African animal.
This is how I would do different packs
Highlands animal pack
-spectacled bear
-mountain goat
-yellow bellied marmot
-mouflon
-yak
-takin
-tibeten antelope
-kea
Islands animal pack
-fossa
-tasmanian devil
-matchies tree kangaroo
-north island brown kiwi
-aye aye
-nene
-mangrove monitor
-crested gecko
I want a sloth so bad but I feel like their animation speed and how that blends with gameplay is gonna be a huge challenge
A few animals I would like to see aside from the ones you listed are
Reptiles
-fly river turtle
-Yangtze giant softshell turtle
-sea turtles
-Asian water monitor
-lace monitor
-Argentine Tegu
Birds
-shoebill stork
-secretary bird
-rhea
-condors
-large birds of prey eagles/hawks/falcons
-small birds for aviaries
Mammals
-saiga antelope
-Tamandua
-echidna (not a mammal)
-sloths
-tasmanian devil
-Javan rhino
Frontier. Roadrunners. Make it happen.
Honestly getting anything of ocean animals, like sharks or rays would be great
as a polish person i would really love a żubr aka european bison! Poland is doing its best to keep those guys stong
Since we have a 'Holiday' and 'Halloween' themed pack, we need an 'Easter/Spring Equinox' themed seasonal pack. I've chosen animals from each continent plus that broadly fit the theme of 'Spring'. This is assuming it's an animal pack.
A planet zoo Easter/Spring pack:
Blacktailed Jack Rabbit
White tailed Deer
Andean Bear
Shoebill Stork
Black Swan
Indian Giant Squirrel
Wild Boar
Exhibit: A walkthrough Sugar-glider exhibit. Or a mixed walkthrough Hummingbird exhibit.
I think we especially need more non mammals as habitat animals. For ones there are the birds, yes everyone wants flying birds but there are many that could be implemented similary to the peafowl or crane. Just to name a few: pelikan, geese, ducks and swans, Marabu, shoebill, herons and storks, bustards, pheasants and turkeys, victoria crowned pidgeon, roadrunner and burrowing owl, Kiwki and Kakapo (those are actually flighless) As for reptiles we have almost non apart from crocodiles. They sadly already ruined the green Iguana by making it an exhibit animal, but maybe they'll compromise and give us a rhinoceros Iguana. The Perentie and water monitor would also work very well. Then there are turtles and tortoises, we just have the giant ones, but there are several smaller tortoises especially from arid environments that would work well, as well as terrapins like the arrau turtle and giant softshell turtle. Sea turtles are one of the few aquatic animals that would be executable since unlike cetaceans and manatees they actually can go on land, so it wouldn't require an overhaul of the way habitat gates work. Regarding Packs I agree on south america, rodents like the Dolichotis or the agouti would fit very well here, same as the sloth and the perviously mentioned arrau turtle. Bush dogs would also be very cool. I also could imagine a desert pack, featuring most importantly the perentie, roadrunner, pekari aswell as some desert caprine like the nubian ibex or the desert bighorn sheep and maybe some desert tortoise aswell. I chinese or japanese giant salamder would also be something I'd really like to see
I definitely agree about the Barbary macaque and the chamois! I hope for more Mediterranean and North African animals especially. Maybe a golden jackal, sand cat, horned viper, barbary sheep or Cretan ibex :)
I'm probably biased because it's where I live, but I really wish we had more western australia/south-western australia stuff. We're a biodiverse hotspot here, we have so many animals a lot of which are endemic to here! I can acknowledge that a lot of that is stuff like birds which might be difficult unless they bring birds to walkthroughs/do an aviary dlc, as much as I'd love to see some of our cockatoos. But there's some other stuff that could totally be added like numbats and quokkas, or for something more generally australian any of the quoll species would be a dream come true for me. I'm kind of surprised there aren't more australian reptiles represented in exhibits too, with notable well known snakes like carpet pythons, tapians or tiger snakes being missing despite all being pretty common in zoos.
My top picks for some animals you can find in/around south western australia would be numbats, quokkas, black swans, brolga, a cockatoo (maybe the red-tailed black cockatoo?), echidna, another snake and fairy penguins. There are a few different themes these various animals could fit into, for example I'd love to see a waterbird pack (if anything because of the mods you could make with a pack like that), and brolgas and black swans would both be great candidates, if we're sticking australian we have a lot of really cool native ducks too. God what I'd do for an official duck.
I’m banking on a “nocturnal” pack… aye ayes, bushbabies, colugos, owls and so on… desperately been waiting for aye ayes, every zoo I’ve built has had a reserved space for them in a nocturnal building or Lemur enclosure
South American rainforests deffo need some more love given the insane biodiversity. Sloths, tamanduas, so many monkeys (howler monkeys and the golden lion tamarind would be my picks), kinkajou, ocelot. Not to mention all the exhibit animals, the huge diversity of butterflies and amphibians
Africa, Asia and North America to a lesser degree always get most of the love in zoo games.
TBH, I do think a Mountain Pack and an Island Pack make the most sense. I also wouldn't count out the Avian pack that Frontier seem to be hinting at.
A desert pack would be nice. The camel, African spurred tortoise, rock hyrax, and for a exhibit animal the Cobra snake
I think both a highlands pack and an islands pick are realistic preditictions. I feel like the island dlc would probably be a scenary pack. Fossa, kiwi and Tasmanian devil are all good picks. I'd love the tree kangaroo, but I think something from Japan would be a possibility as well, especially the serow or the raccoon dog. For the highlands pack, which I assume would be an animal pack, I'd predict the Rocky Mountain goat, alpine marmot, gelada or hamadryas baboon, spectacled bear, yellow-footed rock wallaby, takin or markhor, Pallas' cat and some sort of pheasant as a walkthrough animal. That way we have all continents covered as well as every major animal group besides reptiles.
Africa: GUYS I CAN EXPLAIN!!
North America: you got an extra dlc for you, eventhough the majority of animals already live in your continent!!
Asia: well at least people LIKE your pack!
Antarctica: you guys got more than one animal??!
My personal ideal Highlands Animal Pack would be:
- Andean bear
- Gelada
- Sichuan takin
- Alpine marmot/Andean goose/Western capercaillie
- Pallas cat
- Vicuña/Markhor/Himalayan tahr
- Wolverine
- Mangshan pit viper/Lake Titicaca frog
The tree kangaroo is a must have in the game.
I’d think some of the non tropical flora and fauna of South America need some love in a patagonia pack. Animals can include:
- Pudu
- southern elephant seal
-Patagonian Mara
-steamer ducks (we need a duck for those opening exhibits and these guys can work because they can’t fly, instead using their wings to beat up other waterfowl that wonders into their fjord.
Lesser picks
- nutria
- another penguin (macaroni maybe)
-rhea
-Chilean flamingo
- kodkod
- pink fairy armadillo (exhibit)
If we need architecture maybe churches of Chiloé style can work or Andean
I would love to see a walrus, for some other picks you didn’t bring up I’d say, secretary bird, tamandadua, sloth, wild boar, echidna, wolverine, baboon, dromedary, giant eland, saiga, fur seal and yes more penguins like the rockhopper penguin with their big yellow eyebrows, also would like really like to see a grevy zebra and some variants for the giraffe
Rainforest DLC
Savannah DLC
Avian DLC.
Those should be the Final 3, add the Andean Bear as this year's free anniversary animal
The best DLC to begin with 2023 for me would be a Petting Zoo/Farm DLC
Let's say that we have 4 dlc in 2023. I think we will get 2 animal packs and 2 regular dlc like the last couple of years.
I hope that the first animal pack is a Tropical animal pack that includes the following animals. Red River Hog, Black Howler Monkey, Spectacled Bear, Fossa, Coati, Lar Gibbon, Ocelot and the first exhibit mammal the Sloth.
For the normal dlc I hope for a Mountains pack that includes the following. Wolverine, Hymadrayas Baboon, Bighorn Sheep, American Black Bear and the Painted Turtle.
For the second animal pack I hope for a Aviery animal pack that includes the Bald Eagle, Vulture, Falcon, Tucan, Macaw, Snow Owl, Secretary Bird and the American Flamingo.
The next dlc is a bit harder to chose but we really need the Tasmainian Devil in the game so I have to base the dlc around the Tasmainian Devil and I think that an Island pack would fit perfectly. The pack could also include the Tree Kangeroo, Kiwi, Quokkas and the Puffin.
There could be even more dlc after 2023 because there are a lot of other animals that should be in planet zoo like the Boar, Nile Crocodile, Dromedary Camel, Spider Monkey and a lot more. But these are the packs I hope for in 2023.
The anniversary animal can be one of the animals I diden't include like the Dromedary.
we already have an exhibit mammal. the bat
@@svenskayami I know, I meant the first non flying exhibit mammal.
The Red River Hog and the Coatimundi are my two most wanted species, and I feel like we NEED a small undulate. Pudu, Chevrotain, Dik Dik, I don't mind which really.
Talking about South America and Rainforests...you weren't sure what else to add. The big one...a sloth of course! I was almost yelling at my computer screen lol
I’m surprised there’s no mention of the walrus. I’m not too well versed in their geography, but I’d imagine as an aquatic animal they can be found in island regions up in the northern hemisphere, so if we get an island pack, I’d say it would be a great fit
I really want a New Zealand centred pack - we got an Australia pack, why not NZ?
It would be a great opportunity for adding flying birds to the game, as NZ is a very bird-y place haha
They could add the kākāpō as a perfect starting place for birds as it wouldn't be too ambitious to try and implement I reckon. They're a relatively ground-dwelling bird who flies and climbs aswell, which I think wouldnt be a bad place to start.
You could also add Kiwi's, Pūkeko, Weka, Kōkako, Little brown bats, Little blue Penguin, tuatara (as an exhibit animal), Possums (even though they're more of an Australian thing but were missing from that pack) and most notably - the moa, which I'm aware is extinct but would be really cool to see. Plus if you really wanted to, cows and sheep haha
You would be able to have an almost conservation pack part 2 feel with it, with much more emphasis on adding NZ native plants to the game as we are a very nature oriented country. Plus adding NZ would be a good source of small animals which I know lots of people have been feeling we're missing.
I just feel Aotearoa New Zealand would be a perfect pack for Planet Zoo to work on and implement
Wow what a great video. Seeing from this vantage point really puts things in perspective. LEAF your the man!!!
Desert animal pack would be wonderful which includes: dromedary camel, arabian oryx, barbary lion, coyote, turkey vulture, hamadryas baboon, golden jackal and thorny devil
As much as I love Kiwi’s, I think a Kakapo or Kea would be a very interesting choice. For the Middle East, perhaps a Bustard? They are lesser known and their conservation story is super interesting. While they are at it, maybe we just need a desert pack.
I'd love to see a rainforest pack!
Other -lands DLCs and what they could add: (Please forgive me if I re-add a species the game already has)
Badlands: A DLC about deserty animals that live near crags and mountain ranges.
Will almost definitely have a coyote and a bobcat, if birds are a thing by then, a vulture. Otherwise, badlands exist all over the world so you can probably find enough neat creatures for them. Bighorn sheep, Maras, Jackrabbits, and Kori or Arabian bustards for this one.
Shrublands: A similar ish biotype to Badlands, that doesn't evoke the wild west vibes but could include similar fauna, alongside some others. Viable animal examples include:
Elands, the other rhino, rheas, flamingos, wolves and foxes.
Woodlands: A DLC about... Forests probably, honestly. I expect a big deer and a mid-size deer alongside some assorted random creatures. Viable seeming candidates include:
Muntjac deer, Wild boar, Wisent, Wolverine, some kangaroo, a forest antelope, and the Tasmanian devil.
Moorlands: A very out of left field DLC about the moorland biome that would probably benefit from getting added after birds have made their way into the game, if that's still going to happen. Moorlands are wet upland areas of usually grasslands and woodlands. The ground is really acidic here, and it seems these environments are really susceptible to human intervention. Most animals found here are also found in other biomes so this admittedly obscure DLC not happening will hardly disqualify them. Viable animal candidates are:
Duikers, Hyraxes, White stork, Grey heron, Roe deer, Coati and the Spectacled bear can be found here.
Bushlands: A term used for dry areas more or less specifically in Australia. Basically the way to go if you want a second Australia themed DLC that really doubles down on desert creatures. Probably not the best idea for a DLC, considering chances are we'd get new species of kangaroo, monitor lizard and maybe some birds at best for this one. I guess it could be expanded to creatures who are invasive in Australia, tho.
Notable species are perenties, freshwater crocodiles, various wallabies, grey kangaroos, invasive dromedary camels, the Numbat, Bandicoots and Bilbys.
I hope that all of the remaining biomes receive animal packs even if the game's lifespan is unlikely to last long enough. Tundra is the most underrepresented which isn't too surprising but there's still a lot of great polar animals that could be added: musk ox, wolverine, walrus, leopard seal (not realistic at all but it would be cool) and Arctic hare to name a few. Tropical and desert, however, are the two highest priority biomes given how diverse they are.
Rainforest/Jungle/ Animal Pack:
1. Two-toed sloth.
2. Golden lion tamarin.
3. Red river hog.
4. African forest elephant (very unrealistic as well but it would be very awesome and it's the only elephant species missing).
5. Ocelot.
6. Lowland anola.
7. Tamandua.
8. King cobra or as a walkthrough species the scarlet macaw (sloth could also fit this spot).
Desert Animal Pack:
1. Crested porcupine.
2. Black rhinoceros (while more associated with grasslands, it does inhabit the Namib).
3. Dromedary camel.
4. Greater bilby.
5. Hamadryas baboon.
6. Chaocan peccary.
7. Greater roadrunner.
8. Frilled lizard or as another walkthrough exhibit the kookaburra.
I think, though, that the island animal pack will be this spring as it would add the largest diversity to the game and each habitat species could be from a different island.
1. New Zealand: North Island brown kiwi.
2. Papua New Guinea: Goodfellow/Matschie's tree kangaroo.
3. Tasmania: Tasmanian devil.
4. Madagascar: Fossa (Coquerel's sifaka would fit a temperate forest pack).
5. Japan: Japanese serrow or the raccoon dog.
6. Caribbean: American flamingo or Cuban crocodile.
7. Antarctica: Leopard seal or another penguin.
8. Rainbow lorikeets or golden orb-weavers as walkthrough exhibit animals (the latter based on In With the Spiders at London Zoo as I saw someone suggest on the forums a while back).
A mountain pack, on the other hand, would work better as a scenery pack imo. Not only with Nepalese/Andean architecture but also a new mountain map and a few yeti-themed scenery pieces (A yeti statue and snow footprint decals would be really interesting). Pallas' cat, golden/Sichuan takin, Andean bear and gelada would be my four picks as habitat animals and the sugar glider as a walkthrough exhibit animal since it does inhabit high elevations.
I would personally love a reptile pack, It's certainly gotten a bit better with time but the selection could still be better. The snake roster being especially pitiful.
If frontier adds some animals from Hawaii for an island pack they could include... Hawaiian monk seal, hawaiian hoary bat, mongoose, chameleon as an exhibit animal
Antarctica pack: Leopard Seal, Emperor penquin, southern elephant seal, weddell seal
Iberian lynx, kakapo and chinese River alligator
An island pack (for me) would HAVE to include some kind of sea turtle, and I'd love to see another seal species (elephant or leopard)
Would also love to see a desert pack. If we are sticking to biomes
I really would like an island pack, a penguin and more animals from oceania is always great. Another animal I really would like to seen in such a pack is the coconut crab. We don‘t have any crustaceans in the game, it could be a really unique habitat animal.
I’m desperate for some type of pole cats, ferrets, minks, stoats, weasels, or my personal favourite pine martens. Honey badger is also on the list as well as hedgehogs (maybe for a petting zoo👀) and MORE BATS. One quarter of all mammal species are bats! That’s how diverse they are and we only get one?? Where are my giant bats,my tiny bats, my bats with crazy noses, my acts with crazy ears, my cute fluffy bats? In general I just think that ‘tiny’ mammals are hugely under represented when they should be included in exhibits. Would it kill anyone to give us some voles, moles, mice, gerbils, degus, squirrels? I know that they aren’t ‘big’ habit animals but they would make great exhibit animals or even petting zoo animals.
I want a petting zoo pack honestly
I agree with everything you said. Apart from that I also feel we're missing A LOT of primate species.
In continental Africa baboons, geladas, guenons, colobus monkeys.
In Madagascar more lemur species
In asia macaques, langurs.
In Central and South America howlers, squirrel monkeys, night monkeys, marmosets
I would like to see some iconic southern cone animals in game, like the Kodkod Cat, Pudu, Mara, Vizcacha, Chinchilla, Cuy (peruvian guinea pig), Coipo, Degús, etc ^^
My ideal "roadmap" for 2023 would include:
Spring - Birds of the World Animal/Scenery Pack (mix of 8 walk-through exhibits and regular ol' "aviaries" in the exhibit format with a vintage menagerie/old school zoo building set and scenery to help flesh out some of the more generic zoo pieces that we're missing - and finally get mesh roof pieces, etc.)
Summer - Islands Pack (7 habitat animals + 1 bird exhibit; animal picks are basically yours)
Fall - Tropical Rainforest Animal Pack (7 habitat animals with a skew toward South America animals and primates + 3 bird exhibits)
Anniversary animal - Black rhino
December - Woodlands Pack (4 habitat animals + 1 bird exhibit with a North American-style log cabin/national park-type building set and scenery; porcupine as the "headliner" and wolverine because of how highly requested it is)
Highlands is 100% way more likely than "woodlands" but... This is what ~I~ want, dammit!
I could go on and on about what animals I would love to have in the game, but I’ll keep it short. If they do a rainforest animal pack, I hope it includes sloths! As for the walkthrough/interspecies exhibit mechanic, I think it would work perfectly for lorikeets and macaws. My general wishlist is sloths, walrus, black rhino, dromedary camel, aviary dlc, and aquarium dlc.
Hey Puma can also be found in Central and South America
I feel like we're severely lacking in marsupials. Australasian marsupials of course, tasmanian devil, bilby, numbat, quoll, tree kangaroo etc. but also we dont have an opossum yet ! not from the north american or twilight pack.
ah, and the "faux cats" fossa, civet, mongoose. and i cant believe i forgot to mention the cuscus in my original comment.
I would realy like to see puffins added, they give me so much joy when I see them !
Me too!!
If we get an islands pack, I want to see some kind of sea turtle as a new diving animal.
I agree with your desire to have the emptier areas of the map balanced out and like these suggestions -- I'd be happy with a pack with any of these! I have a preference towards more unique animals such as the takin, chamois, and fossa but there's potential there for several cohesive packs, like penguins and waterbirds and other semi/aquatics.
We still lack any rabbits or lagomorphs in general: the Sumatran striped rabbit is an island species from Indonesia that's very unique but very rare, so while I'd love it it's probably not a good candidate. If not the European rabbit, there's the riverine rabbit and red rock hare from South Africa, hispid hare from the Himalayas, and the cottontail rabbit which appears both in north and south Americas. There's also the volcano rabbit, which occurs in a very specific area in Mexico, and the Amami rabbit, which is a unique remnant species from Japan. Most of the species mentioned are endangered and easily fit into PZ's conservation theme.
For the rainforest pack, there's so much to choose from to go with the coati and red river hog: the green anaconda would be a huge unique addition as habitat animal (and set a new precedent for large snakes and a winding swimming-like motion that could precede fully aquatic animals, as it is semiaquatic); the spectacled bear would fit here; there are several species of tamarins, the harpy eagle, ocelot, burrowing owl, Darwin's fox, literally any sloth, the agouti which would fit right in with capybaras, rheas for more ratites, vicuna and guanaco, and tonnes of selection for an exhibit animal.
As an Australian I'm more partial to more Oceanic stuff, that's the rules :P I have a comprehensive list of Oceanic animals as a wishlist a few months ago, we've since gotten a few of them:
reddit.com/r/PlanetZoo/comments/ybso2k/comment/itjmkqg/?context=3
There's not much for Northern Europe that isn't already in the game as just European, since many are wide ranging (such as the bears), but we could also use the saiga, wapiti, wisent, bezoar, bearded and griffon vultures, sea otters and sea eagles, auks, puffins, swans (a great thematic match with other semiaquatic birds including the ones already in the game), and lemmings while tiny would be an interesting addition similar to the other tiny mammals.
If we could include Pleistocene/recently-extinct animals, the list for Northern Europe would be VERY spicy, as it'd include a lot of incredible mammoth steppe fauna that has not lived to the Anthropocene! The aurochs only died out about 400 years ago, for example. I don't think they fit PZ's overall theme much, though, they'd be a better fit for Prehistoric Kingdom which already has two.
Central Asia has tonnes of options to fill out its region, perhaps controversially the wild bactrian camel instead of the semi-feral domestic we have in the game. There's the onager, Mongolian wild ass, corsac fox, a couple different martens and markhors, mountain hare, a couple grey wolf subspecies, Arabian sandcat, urial, desert monitor, a bunch of smaller reptiles that would fit as exhibit animals. Tonnes of birds, such as the pelicans, rails, owls, raptors, Demoiselle crane, etc.
THEORETICALLY, Frontier can repurpose the walk-through exhibit mechanics to make aquariums, just without the walking through. Those could be used for fish, which Antarctica has tonnes of. The walkthrough exhibit size is decent for a small to medium commercial aquarium tank. Hell, it might be possible to reskin it with mods and turn it into an aquarium.
Most of Antarctica's fauna is marine or semiaquatic, with few land species. It's mostly seals, cetaceans, fish, and penguins and other ocean-going birds like albatrosses, all of which would make unique additions.
It's really genius to look at it this way
I was surprised by how few animals there were. I have not all the packs, only around 4 and I was going to start a zoo with the plan of using animals that is in my homeland as I had put my zoo in Sweden so I thought that would be easier since I didn't have to focus on temperature control.
I had expected some animals, such as the moose, artic fox, lynx, any bat (we have around 16 different species of bats), musk-ox, different species of seal and much more, or at least a few to be in the game as it would be perfect to try out the controls while handling a smaller zoo.
Needless to say, I could only find Timber wolf from the nordic countries. Not even the Reindeer was given to Sweden despite the natives of Nordic countries such as Sweden (the Sami) being famous for their reindeer herding. It instead said there were reindeers in Denmark though which is not true as they don't have the right climate for reindeers. I can only guess the game developers couldn't differentiate between the countries as that is a common problem.
I was also surprised that you couldn't pet the reindeers, but then again, the only reindeers I know of is the one the Sami raising and they are more or less tame. They even drag sleds for the Sami.
Well, I quickly had to reimagine my zoo but I was rather suprised. It made me wonder if the base game only had around 7 animals. I'm not sure how to feel about that, especially consider the many bugs and problems I have encountered in the game.
7:00 lowlands could work too
I think the mountain-pack will be next after this jungle pack, and it will have more GOATS and SHEEP, as we are really lacking there, we only have the ibex, and that stupid dall sheep which should be deleted.
My perfect mountain pack:
1: Mountain Goat (not actually a goat)
2: Bighorn Sheep or Moufflon
3: Markhor (the most important one)
4: Takin (not actually bovids)
5: Gelada Baboon
6: Spectacled Bear
7: Wolverine (which also live up on mountains)
Then there are the Barbary Sheep, Chamois, Yak and Onager which also live in mountain area's and can be added.
I agree! I’d also love to see Aye-ayes, Saiga antelope, dromedary camels (we already have the decals!) small birds, a few domesticated animals that are also unique for petting zoos (alpacas, scotch highland cattle, miniature horses or mustangs, Vietnamese pot bellied pigs, sheep, goats, golden pheasants, Guiana fowl) I’d love to see shoe bill storks, crowned cranes, collared peccary, Hawaiian monk seals, a few ocean animals (dolphins, orcas, etc.) plus fish species in the exhibit tanks. Sugar gliders (as exhibit species) aardwolves and lastly the yak
i was about to suggest takins and serow lol. glad you included them
@Leaf also , you kinda said the packs in mostly hopeful for ^^. I’d also want a desert pack featuring animals like Honey Badgers for example along with many other Dan favorites, also a safari pack for Africa perhaps for animals like black rhino, olive baboon, Secretary bird , and etc
Plus I’d like a pack with the Sloth Bear in it if possible as well
Along with coatis , you could’ve also said sloths, kinkajous, ocelot, agouti, tamandua , maybe tayra , just to name a few South American animals you could’ve added as well ^^
for islands they HAVE TO DO the Kagu of New Caledonia, shit is sick asf(pardon moi français) but its the last bird of Gondwana, so it would play great i to the conservation theme, to keep this ancient bird alive!
My hopes: addax, some kind of porcupine (might be difficult to animate with all those quils), watusi, some kind of pelican, an african monkey (e.g. baboon, macaque, mangabey), helmeted guinneafowl, african forest buffalo (although we already have another african buffalo, it does look different), red river hog, some type of duiker, dromedary, and maybe some type of donkey, turkey or other 'farm' animals.
Planet zoo universe lore: *"There's something missing from our world... The amazing animals the frontier has left behind! But what if we could bring them back, what if none-canonization didn't have to be forever?"*
Honestly if we get an Island pack, my most wanted animal is the coconut crab since it's really the only terrestrial invertebrate large enough to be a habitat animal rather than an exhibit animal.
I have a couple of pack ideas:
For Animal Packs, there could be:
Tropical Animal Pack:
- Goodfellows Tree Kangaroo/Shoebill/Grey Crowned Crane
- South American Coati
- Black Howler
- Geoffery's Spider Monkey
- Sloth Bear
- Fossa/Black and White Colobus
- Red River Hog
Exhibit:
- Parson's Chameleon/Indian Cobra
Desert Animal Pack:
- Hamadryas Baboon
- Dromedary/Addax
- Greater Bilby/Short-Beaked Echidna
- Saiga
- Honey Badger/African Crested Porcupine
- Greater Roadrunner/Black-Tailed Jackrabbit
- Collared Peccary/Sand Cat/Greater Rhea
Exhibit:
- Thorny Devil/Camel Spider
Highlands (Taiga) Animal Pack:
- Spectacled Bear
- Takin
- Markhor
- Palla's Cat
- Alpine Marmot/Chamois
- Wolverine/Barbary Sheep
- Gelada Baboon/Golden Snub-Nosed Monkey
Exhibit:
- Rough-Skinned Newt
African Animal Pack (to add more African animals):
- Honey Badger
- African Crested Porcupine
- Secretary Bird
- Serval
- Grey Crowned Crane/Shoebill
- Black and White Colobus
- Fossa/Red River Hog
Exhibit:
- Chameleon (Parsons/Veiled)
Aviary Animal Pack (Assuming that 5-7 aviary animals come in the anniversary update):
- Secretary Bird
- Great White Pelican
- Mute Swan
- Grey Crowned Crane/Shoebill
- North Island Brown Kiwi/Scarlet Ibis
Exhibit/Aviary:
- 7 Exotic aviary animals that are not already in the base game at the time. My idea would include:
- Toco Toucan
- Satin Bowerbird/Pileated Woodpecker
- Sulphur Crested Cockatoo/Andean Condor
- Golden Eagle
- Greater Frigatebird
- Victoria Crowned Pigeon
- Laughing Kookaburra
Theme Packs:
Islands Pack:
- Tasmanian Devil
- Fossa
- North Island Brown Kiwi
- Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo/Matschie's Tree Kangaroo
Exhibit:
- Parson's Chameleon/Fijian Crested Iguana/Lord Howe Stick Insect
Theme:
- Polynesian
Meadows (Easter) Pack:
- European Rabbit
- Roe Deer/Chinese Water Deer
- Wild Turkey
- Black Footed Ferret
Exhibit:
- Budgerigar, Cockatiel (Walkthrough)
Theme:
- European Countryside w/ Easter-Themed Items
Oceans Pack:
- Walrus
- Sea Otter
- Southern Rockhopper Penguin/Little Blue Penguin
- Coconut Crab
Exhibit:
- Atlantic Mudskipper
Theme:
Aquarium, Pirate
Anniversary Update:
I believe that for the 4th anniversary planet zoo will add 5-7 Aviary animals. If there would be 5 animals, I think that they would be:
- Barn Owl
- Peregrine Falcon
- Scarlet Macaw
- Common Raven
- Arctic Tern
If there were 7 animals added, I think that they would be:
- Sulphur Crested Cockatoo
- Pileated Woodpecker
Because we are taking an animal off of our previous list if we were doing 7 animals, the following animal is a reserve:
- Andean Condor
Release Order:
The release order would look something like this:
- Late March - Early April: Meadows Pack
- June - August: Biome Animal Pack (preferably desert)
- September - October: Islands Pack
- December: Aviary Animal Pack (if Aviary animals are added to base game)/Biome Animal Pack
I hope you guys enjoy this list! Please give me your ideas!
they probably wouldnt do it but i would love to see a reptiles pack with like the nile crocodile, chinese alligator, and maybe some snakes and lizards, and possibly a sea turtle. If they did a rainforest pack or like an amazon pack id also really like to see the black caiman.
Another few mammals could be good, stuff like the fisher, wolverine, and pine marten.
You read my mind. I definitely asked where the Andean Bear was when I bought the game. I would also really like to see the Tasmanian Devil and the Fossa. I also think that the Javan Rhino would fit well in an islands pack.
I think that Frontier can put Tapires in Planet Zoo beacuse in South America there aren't too many animals.
Island Pack: Marsh Pack:
Just packs that I thought were nice they can do the animals!❤
Sounds like they are doing Biomes so I’m thinking maybe Rainforest animal pack is coming or any of the other Biomes.
every ideas are soo good! (including comments too)
Hi leaf you building is so inspiring
Europe needs more representation. Whether it be in a Highlands pack, or a temperate pack, or even farmyard pack
Still waiting for more birds personally- I don't care if they fly or not- peacocks, cranes & flamingos all fly yet are in the game, so they could just do something similar with other birds & I'd be happy!
My picks are-
New Zealand: Kiwi & Kea- both well represented in zoos globally, one is flightless & the other spends a lot of time on the ground being the worlds only alpine parrot.
PNG: Victoria Crowned Pigeon- again well represented in zoos & spends a lot of time on the ground.
Africa: Secretary bird- well represented in zoos & seems to be quite a popular zoo animal globally speaking.
Asia & rest of the world: Dalmatian pelican, Demoiselle crane, Fuegian steamer duck or Mute swan/ a swan of some type as a couple of wading bird options.
The exhibit animal could be anything with the introduction of the walk through version exhibits & bats- hummingbirds would probably be the most popular, but a bird of paradise species or even Parrots, Finches, Doves or Quail would be cool as options.
That would cover most of the continents in game as well as give a diverse range of habitats- temperate forest, grassland, desert, alpine, rainforest, wetlands depending on what was included.
My list of most wanted animals in the game is now basically down to Kiwi, Kea, Tree Kangaroo, Aardwolf & Fossa.
I'll be super disappointed if we don't get some decent bird species & at least a tree Kangaroo, but tbh having some other spice picks like Yellow-throated martens, Echidna, Coati, Pallas cat &/or Jaguarundi would be pretty cool as well & help keep game play interesting.
Basically birds in any form & some of the more unique or unusual smaller zoo animals to add a bit more diversity to the more standardized zoo species will keep me invested & spending money on DLCs lol.
There's one more thing you can add to the lands the dry lands
The tuatara, kiwi, kōkako, saddleback, huia, kākāpō, native frogs and giant carnivorous land snails, Kākāpō, Whio (blue duck), Albatross, fairy tern, Long-tailed bat (pekapeka), tui, fantail,kea,Weta,katipo spider only poisonous spider in nz, Takahe, Weka, Australasian swamphen, Morepork, Silvereye, New Zealand falcon, Sacred kingfisher, Yellow-eyed penguin, Blue penguin, that’s most of them I can think of from New Zealand which i would like to see in planet zoo pack for New Zealand ok bye
