The developer has teased what the remaining 5 terrarium animals will be, listing them as;
A fuzzy Triassic Critter
An arboreal Lizard
2 funky dinosaurs
and a semi-aquatic mammal.
However as you might have noticed none of these animals are amphibians especially not Diplocaulus and Beelzebufo, two animals that honestly should've been added to the game the moment the Terrarium system was conceived.
In my mind this is a HUGE mistake on the developer's part and I understand that's my opinion but I sincerely will consider the game unplayable and unfinished until these two are added as well as Dimetrodon. Now some have speculated that more Terrarium animals will be added in Early Access especially seeing how after Update 16 the total number of terrarium species will be 11. I just don't believe it should even be a question if these three will be added to the game.
I humbly apologize for ranting.

I agree that Diplocaulus especially was perfect for the game, it's a shame they aren't gonna have it. What I wonder though is what this semiaquatic mammal might be... Maybe Steropodon, as it's a good companion piece to Muttaburrasaurus and Leaellynnasaura?
Also I hope the Triassic one is a pterosaur. Come on, we can have at least ONE... Can't we?
According to what I've seen;
The Triassic Critter is Thrinaxodon
The arboreal lizard is Icarosaurus because I saw a guy post a picture of Icarosaurus saying he wished it was planned and lead developer Mau responded "Planned? Try Included"
The semi-aquatic mammal might be Didelphodon which some researchers now believe lived a semi-aquatic lifestyle
That leaves the other herbivore and the piscivore as the two dinosaurs which makes me suspect they are Heterodontosaurus and Halszkaraptor respectively.
But like I said as long as Dimetrodon, Diplocaulus and Beelzebufo are not in the game I consider the game unfinished and un-releasable.
But if my predictions are correct then the 11 terrarium animals will consist of 3 ampibious, 4 terrestrial and 4 arboreal. I'd like to think more are coming before EA is over and they will fill in the blanks to give us an even 15 (5 in each category).
If that is the case then they should add Jeholopterus to arboreal
Diictodon to terrestrial
and Beelzebufo and Diplocaulus to aquatic.

Ok, good additions... But personally I'd replace Jeholopterus with Pterodactylus or Anurognathus; I think it's fair we have at least ONE small but significant pterosaur in the base game.
That seems a little dramatic don't you think?
This Game would be the first to release Breeding before Jurassic World: Evolution 3.
Yeah and they're adding it as a free update to COMPLETE the game, rather than sell two incomplete games at full price, and now another one that'll be even more expensive!
I must admit, I despise Frontier's marketing strategy... Looking at you too, Planet Zoo!
Also checking the roadmap
Update 17 now lists 4 carnivores, 2 herbivores and 2 Frugivores
Update 19 the former Update 20 now includes 3 carnivores, 7 herbivores and 2 insectivores

Update 19 the former Update 20 now includes 3 carnivores, 7 herbivores and 2 insectivores
Could the added icons mean alternate species? Like if Allosaurus is added in Update 17 would the 4 carnivores be A. fragilis, europaeus, jimmadseni & anax?
In Update 17, I'm certain the 4 carnivores are the 3 species of Allosaurus plus Saurophaganax.
The two frugivores are believed to be Pachycephalosaurus with Stygimoloch as an alt.
One of the herbivores is Stegosaurus stenops but it is unknown if the 2nd herbivore is another Stegosaurus or less likely another genus.
As for update 19 we know the 3 carnivores are; Carnotaurus, Utahraptor and Kelenken while 3 of the herbivores are; Edmontonia, Megatherium and Doedicurus. I don't know what the other 4 new herbivores are, meanwhile I am hopeful the two insectivores might mean more Terrarium creatures like my beloved Beelzebufo.

While I wouldn't entirely discount Icarosaurus, that thing with Mau flat-out did not happen, so it's really up in the air. Thrinaxodon is also not 100% confirmed, but I'd count it decently likely.
As much as I like Diplocaulus in particular & would appreciate Beelzebufo, considering the game unplayable without them feels something like an overreaction?
Anyway, we are confirmed getting Permian rep that isn't Dimetrodon, which I believe is one of the first things eyeballed for post-full-release, and frankly I'd imagine that would make one of the unknown vivarium animals our first Permian rep, since I can't imagine they would add a full-exhibit Permian that isn't Dimetrodon.
Also, in regards to the speculated roster, it's somewhat hard to say- the devs are pretty fluid with when they add things, as seen from oviraptor & breeding being pushed up several updates, but recently the Trello seemingly splitting alt species into their own separate "upcoming species" card makes things difficult to say for sure- who's to say that things didn't get shuffled around, along with being split? I don't have it on hand, but Mau posted another blurred devside timeline/post-release plan, and they're visibly very different from the previous ones that people seem to have mostly cracked. Especially post-release- there's a lot more animals on there, with some color coding that I'm sure somebody must have figured out at some point.
I greatly enjoy speculating about this kind of thing, but the devs have been pretty tight-lipped about most roster-based things in the future, aside from outright confirming Utahraptor.
On an entirely unrelated note, I've been having an absolute blast with update 15, going through and updating my old parks with enrichment items and breeding mounds etc. Almost feels like playing ZT2 again. Really, really love the oviraptor, & the Galli is nice too. Can't wait for more enrichment items, too, the devs are really knocking it out of the park as of late.
I admit, it might not have been Mau, though I could've sworn I saw his username on the Discord. So perhaps my mind was playing tricks on me or someone had a eerily similar username. Though I will confirm there was a picture of Icarosaurus on the species suggestion page of discord and someone did reply "Planned try included" as for who wrote that reply, I guess I'll never know.
And I do acknowledge, I was freaking out a bit in regards to Dimetrodon, Beelzebufo and Diplocaulus. The reason it bothers me so much is because in my eyes, they are "Default" species meaning they should've been planned from the very start. From my point of view Dimetrodon should've been one of the first 3 creatures added to the game.
As for Beelzebufo and Diplocaulus for me they should've been planned from the moment the Vivarium system was conceived, before the likes of Simosuchus and Yi qi were even considered.
From my perspective, the inclusion of these 3 shouldn't even be up for debate and leaving them out makes zero sense to me. I had a similar issue with them using Prenocephale instead of Pachycephalosaurus which thankfully they have course corrected on and also I had issue with Planet Zoo waiting for DLC to introduce Polar Bears, Penguins and Kangaroos which like the previous 3 I consider Default species that should've been in the base game no questions asked.
Again this is 100% me ranting and I know not everyone agrees with me, its just something that irks me and I know the absence of those 3 will bother me if I try to play the game at launch, so my plan is to continue supporting development and once those 3 and a few others I think were left out are finally added then I'll purchase the game.
As for Thrinaxodon, the post said "Fuzzy Triassic Critter" and I can't think of any other creature that fits the bill
The trello has been updated, first we now have 3D artwork for Yi qi and Tiktaalik!
Also for update 17 as we expected Allosaurus and Stegosaurus are confirmed with their being 4 varieties of Allosaurus; fragilis, jimmadseni, europaeus and also Saurophaganax. While Stegosaurus will be represented by both Stenops and ungulatus with two skins each.
As of right now only fragilis and stenops are shown.

Extremely excited for Yi Qi. Short of any confirmed pterosaurs it's by far my favorite of the flyers- though, I do understand three confirmed isn't a large sample size, lol.
And, of course, Tiktaalik looks fantastic. Really interested to see which stego skins get assigned to which species since the devs posted them all publicly quite some time ago now.
