The owl, moose, and squirrel seem the most likely to be produced. The neck
of the giraffe and ostrich would be a problem and it might be hard to make a
kangaroo that was noticeably different from the rabbits. The one I'd most
like to see is Oliver (Ollie?) Owl.
Other Suggestions are:
-Rooster/Hen
-Beagle-like dog
-Chipmunk

The ice-skating rink would fit in well with existing sets. I'd most like to
see the rainforest treehouse community as new subtheme.
A few other ideas:
-a theater or concert hall (With stage and seating for an audience)
-a park
-a museum

More musicians, definitely. An artist (painter) would be neat.

I'd like to see all of those. To go along with the artist suggestion, I’d
also suggest a paintbrush and easel.

I'm actually of two minds over this question. There are a few reasons I’d
like to see the Fabuland line use the same style as the nesquick bunny and
Studios werewolf:
A) added articulation
B) the ability to switch parts to customize within the theme itself
C) the ability to switch bodies/body parts with minifigs allowing for a
great deal of variety.
However, despite the advantages that style of Fabuland would bring I still
think it would be better if Fabuland has its own scale to give it a unique
identity.
