I love them! Shame I can't include the red panda as it's in the base game)īest for realistic zoos: Arctic (I'm in northern Europe and all the zoos around here have sheep/goats and reindeer)ĭLC is heavily subjective because none of them introduce new gameplay features, just decor and animals.

For me I would say:īest for plants: South America, Africa (I do love a good variety of plants)īest for animals: Africa, Australia (meerkats, penguins and koala are very important in my opinion and now the Africa pack gives you the African penguin the aquatic pack is less important - I did hear some unsubstantiated rumours that the next DLC will have sea lions as well, making the seal redundant for me)īest for building pieces: Aquatic, Africa, Australia (very dependent on your zoo styles though)īest for rocks: Aquatic (the faux rocks are so important to me and the way I design habitats)īest for high appeal animals that I personally love: Southeast asia (binturong), deluxe edition (pygmy hippo) (what can I say. I have them all and love them for each for different reasons. If we're going to complain that dingos are not a zoo animal, then we must also make the same complaint about llamas, which are even less appropriate, as they aren't even a species that exist in the wild. I think it's much more valuable to think of them as representations of the earliest form of dog must have looked like when they diverged from their common ancestor with the modern wolf.Īnyway, my main point is that the bigger beef should be with the llamas, which are a completely domestic species. Plus, I'd hesitate to call dingos feral when they essentially reverted to a wild or semi-wild state so soon after dogs domesticated themselves to begin with. At what point do we give up the feral label? They came to Australia with humans, but have been living freely and without human intervention or much, if any, breeding by humans in all that time. If you consider dingos a domestic dog, then they are one of the most basal domestic dog lineages, and arose many thousands of years ago.

Feral generally implies a nuisance and warranting removal or destruction.

I mean, I just can't see calling dingos "feral," which implies recently escaped from human care, as in within days to decades or perhaps a couple hundred years to me.
