Ok, so I’m having a hard time finding any connection between the Goodfellow’s (or Matschie’s) tree-kangaroo, the impala, the secretarybird, and the short-beaked echidna other than they VERY tenuous and hypothetical “Woodlands Animal Pack” but as you pointed out, the impala and secretarybird are more savanna and grasslands animals. MY HOT TAKE: as a nod to the “original, in-game founders”, you can call it “The Goodwin’s Animal Pack” featuring Bernie’s favorite animals that feature all four of these dictionary species. They can also throw in other community wanted species like a New World monkey, a highly requested exhibit animal, one (or two more) habitat birds like the greater rhea, a pelican, a stork, or another type of gamebird (like a guineafowl) or waterfowl (like a wild duck or goose species), or a really off-the-wall pick would be the Kori bustard. The shoebill is a TENUOUS open-air species, with the San Diego Safari Park once having a pair (pinioned obviously) near the tram station over a decade ago. Now they are found in their own huge flights (NOT WALKTHROUGH) in the United States at Zoo Tampa (where I saw them) and the Dallas World Aquarium. For the love of God, SHELVE THE IBISES AND SPOONBILLS. 9 times out of 10, these birds are featured in WALKTHROUGH AVIARIES. The only place I have seen ibises in open air habitats are wild white ibises in any zoo in Florida and pinioned African sacred ibises at the San Diego Safari Park with pinioned demoiselle cranes and common shelducks. I know the Saint Augustine Alligator Farm and Zoo have wild ibises and roseate spoonbills nest on their grounds. I will venture a guess that the native Australian ibis species also nest and wander zoo grounds. The eagle mention would be a nice sneak peak to the much demanded and hypothetical “Aviary Pack”. It would be extremely foolish to have eagles as an open-air exhibit animal that’s unable to fly (though I have seen open-air bald eagle exhibits at both the San Francisco Zoo and Zoo Tampa, but in those instances, the eagles had wings that were permanently damaged and left them unable to fly). When most people see eagles, they want to see them fly in a large flight cage. Same with any vulture (although, stupidly enough, the San Diego Safari Park keep their vultures pinioned in open-air habitats). Anyways, my hope is for a Latin America Animal Pack. We NEED more monkeys, the greater rhea, and other highly requested Latin American animals. Getting the impala, secretarybird, and short-beaked echidna, for me, are much welcomed additions I will more than happily include in my zoo.
Bro wrote an ESSAY You might be onto something with the Goodwins Animal Pack, I like that idea. It would be a way to split a bunch of highly requested species between 2 DLCs and then label them as "our" favorites, and "their" favorites. The only thing is, if this next pack is the one with all these species toward the top of the wishlist (secretary bird, tree kangaroo), it would've made more sense to swap the names. Still, maybe if we get a Goodwins Pack we could get the human statues I suggested back when I proposed a Primate Pack. HOP OFF the Ibis and spoonbill!! Yes they're not kept in open-air habitats, but I wouldn’t be building open-air for them anyway! 😂 I've always had the mindset they don't care too much about if a species can fly after the red crowned crane, but you have a point, cranes (like flamingos and swans) are often kept in open air habitats. But j don't know, I think we could still see an Ibis or spoonbill to stretch that realism just a bit which Planet Zoo likes to do, kind of like how we got the king penguin as a habitat animal even though realistically they're always housed indoors. I think that's a great comparison. The people who care about handling these birds realistically with just build realistically for them. Anyway I'm pinning this cus we spent so much time on these comments LMAO
Just throwing the animals out there that I'd personally still like to see: -Long-Beaked Echidna (I would personally pick the long-beaked echidna over the short-beaked because body-wise it's larger on the whole and has a more prominent beak, thus making it a better animal for viewing) -Secretary Bird (not only a personal and fan favorite, but also a huge homage to Zoo Tycoon 2 in my opinion) -Ocelot (It's a personal and fan favorite) -Marabou Stork (It's so iconic bc of The Lion King) -Shoebill (probably would have to compete with the Marabou Stork for inclusion unfort) -Walrus (low chance because very aquatic) -Northern Elephant Seal (low chance too because also very aquatic) *barring the ocelot, all of these would be great because they're relatively popular and also very distinct from what's already in the game imo Honorable Mentions (even more biased and most likely won't be included, I'd say): -North Atlantic Puffin -Greater Roadrunner -Hyrax (highly underrepresented animal imo) -Olive Baboon (another callback) -Nile Crocodile (another callback) -Macaw/Eagle/Toucan/Blue-Footed Booby (as exhibit animals if not regular animals)
I suspect the Zookeeper pack was originally going to be 2 packs- a highlands pack and a shrublands pack (Bear, Baboon, Cat and Goat for mountains, Dik-dik, Lemur and Tortoise for shrublands). Then, the anniversary came along, and they mixed them together for a "5th anniversary celebration pack". This would explain the weird pack art, as well as the remaining dictionary animals all fitting these themes(echidna, impala and secretary bird for shrub, and the tree kangaroo for mountains). This is in no way confirmed, but I think it at least makes an interesting theory.
The impala and th eagle and some other words like civet are mentioned in other animals zoopedia entries, atleast I think somebody said that on the forum.
@@shaununiverseHey friend at least this DLC animal Zookeepers pack It wasn't the last DLC for the Planet Zoo game this year, but will the next Official PC update DLC for the game be released in 2025?
And if this next one is the last pack, we can expect it to be slightly bigger. Planet Coaster’s final DLC the Magnificent Rides Collection had ten rides. The last pack for Planet Zoo will likely have ten animals.
I have absolutely no reason to believe it would be featured, nor do I have good reasoning for why it should be added, my most wanted animal is prolly the American Black Bear. It's my favorite bear and I wish I could have it.
if the tree kangaroo has been removed .... the secretary bird, echidna, and impala could all be considered "Scrubland" - in which case we might also see animals like the honey badger, coyote, serval, jackal, blackbuck etc
@@beaverhart2566 scrubland did actually come to mind but I don't think we should write off the tree kangaroo...that's why I mentioned hamadryas, the baboon is now in the game but for some reason it's still missing from the dictionary, so we can't really rely on that meaning anything
@shaununiverse are the other animals from the previous pack still in the game, like dik dik or spurred tortoise? Maybe they're removing the animals they've done?
Here’s what we need and what we’ve needed for a long time, more birds, more South American animals. Those two things NEED to be in the next pack, or else it’s just a disappointing pack.

I suspect the highly requested animals that did not make it into the Zookeeper pack are being saved for the next pack.
My scrubland animal pack roster would include: Secretary Bird, Honey Badger, Echidna, Serval, Grey Crowned Crane, Coyote, Blackbuck.
Actual amazing pack with cohesive theme
Just throwing the animals out there that I'd personally still like to see:
-Long-Beaked Echidna (I would personally pick the long-beaked echidna over the short-beaked because body-wise it's larger on the whole and has a more prominent beak, thus making it a better animal for viewing)
-Secretary Bird (not only a personal and fan favorite, but also a huge homage to Zoo Tycoon 2 in my opinion)
-Ocelot (It's a personal and fan favorite)
-Marabou Stork (It's so iconic bc of The Lion King)
-Shoebill (probably would have to compete with the Marabou Stork for inclusion unfort)
-Walrus (low chance because very aquatic)
-Northern Elephant Seal (low chance too because also very aquatic)
*barring the ocelot, all of these would be great because they're relatively popular and also very distinct from what's already in the game imo
Honorable Mentions (even more biased and most likely won't be included, I'd say):
-North Atlantic Puffin
-Greater Roadrunner
-Hyrax (highly underrepresented animal imo)
-Olive Baboon (another callback)
-Nile Crocodile (another callback)
-Macaw/Eagle/Toucan/Blue-Footed Booby (as exhibit animals if not regular animals)

It's possible it could be slightly bigger but JWE2's final DLC was not slightly bigger so Frontier might not be doing that anymore
