Nah, you're good. Anyway, as for the Tasmanian tiger + Auk, I'd say they can pretty easily be ruled out because the devs don't want to add any more very recently extinct animals, (except for Moas for some reason but I won't complain about that one). Dodos and Quaggas are enough. More aquatic creatures would be interesting, I'd like a really giant Cretaceous Plesiosaur like a Kronosaurus (unlike the meh sized Jurassic ones we have) but I kinda doubt we'll get them soon. I'd be surprised if a big turtle wasn't planned, like a Stupendemys. A Pachycormid would be interesting, but I think we could do with at least one more shark (Got my fingers crossed for some weird Paleozoic holocephalians, like Helicoprion or Stetha/Akmonistion), and at least one funky Placoderm that isn't Dunk. Shelly cephalopods will surely come. There's not much that's like a crocodile, a Thalassosuchian might be nice I guess but landcrocs are much more deserving of inclusion. As for bearscatsdogs, I don't think the lot of them add much compared to modern day ones. I guess a short-faced bear would be nice, (even though they're not really much bigger than normal bears) but ice age lions are literally just lions but ripped and pale. Dire wolves are planned but I'm not alone in saying that an Epicyon or Hesperocyon would be far more unique than just a wolf but barely bigger. Anyway though, marsupials would be great, I endorse all three of the ones you suggested. Andrewsarchus would be an interesting Entelodont relative (it's not an awesomebro hooved megawolf btw) but it's only got a single skull to it's name so probably not a good choice cuz we can't know much about it realistically. Sarkastodon is a shitty junior synonym iirc but a Creodont would be cool, look up Simbakubwa. And a word of advice, Jurassic World stuff is a bit of a shitty place to learn about prehistoric animals because it's always more about things being cool then they are about being real. If you really want to learn about stuff, I suggest you surround yourself with the kind of people who actually really care about paleontology done right. The F&A discord has a lot of people like that.
