Yes, we already have a Blossom Possum. I couldn't remember where it was from, but if your description says Tournament, then I guess that's it. They haven't "recycled" an animal in a while, but I guess they did this time.
Hmmm, so they have no time to create new expansions. They have no time to create new animals to win in the tournaments. And they only have time to make 2 new animals for the World Event or Forest Party or whatever it is. *thinking face emoji* So what **are** they doing? Maybe if they took a couple weeks off from pushing out new events, they could add some land, come up with new animals, and fix whatever leads to the glitches that we seem to have in every event.
