Web Developer

The **Web Developer** is the eighth type of spider that the player can find in the game. It can be found in the stampede when the player upgrades their spider habitat to level 9.

## Appearance

The Web Developer has a body and legs that are coloured dark teal. Across its six eyes, each pair of eyes shares a set of grey thick-rimmed glasses. Other accessories that it possesses are a yellow-strapped lanyard with a grey swipe card attached, and a brown leather satchel which it wears over its left 'shoulder' to its right. Its clothing consists of a blue denim jacket over a white t-shirt. On its upper abdomen are three white slightly raised symbols which are the following: </>. Translucent white question marks pop up variously around the vicinity of the Web Developer.

## Description

*Spiders are the only web developers that enjoy finding bugs.*

## Requirements

* Garden 1 unlocked.
* Spider tamed.
* Spider habitat upgraded to level 9.
* Ride past 1600m in Garden (must run through web on ground-level animal and be riding an animal slower than a wild spider).

**Note:** Its chance of appearing is extremely low due to it being a tier 5 animal. It will appear randomly but very rarely, and never before 1600m.

## Baby Web Developer

* Missions give 15% more coins
* Rare animals appear 5% more often

## Trivia

* The Web Developer's name is a pun, with "web developer" referring to both spiders as animals which develop (spin) their webs, and programmers who develop webpages.
	+ The Web Developer's appearance plays on a stereotypical programmer, poking fun at web developers by giving the Web Developer a nerdy appearance.
		- The Web Developer's symbols on its rear (</>) refers to how that is the rear end of the Web Developer, with the symbols used in conjunction with a variable to end the parameter in HTML.
	+ The description continues the references and puns, playing on how spiders develop webs to catch "bugs", or insects, which they "enjoy" to eat, as well as how programmers dislike "bugs", as in an error in a program or system.
* The Web Developer is the only spider in the game that is not based on a real life species.
* The question marks that surround the Web Developer are similar, if not identical, in appearance to the question marks that appear around the player character when a new hat is unlocked.
	+ The question mark effects are also identical to the Professor Dropbear's.

## Notes

* The Web Developer was released in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March 2018 along with Garden and the first five Garden species.
Teapot Fish

The **Teapot Fish** is the sixth clownfish in the game. It was first released as a part of the Dreamy Trip Season 13 event.

## Appearance

The Teapot Fish is designed to resemble a teapot, being coloured completely copper red except for its torso, a lid on its top, and its tailfin is hollow to look like a teapot's handle.

## Requirements

* Ocean Zoo unlocked.
* Clownfish tamed.
* Purchase Season 13's Golden Trip.
	+ Given as the 5th reward in the Golden Trip.
* Once obtained, ride past 1500m in Ocean.

**Note:** Its chance of appearing is low due to it being a tier 4 animal. It will appear randomly but not often, and never before 1500m.

## Notes

* The Teapot Fish was released in version 3.5.0 on the 27th of September 2023, as a part of the Dreamy Trip Season 13 event.
Taweret

The **Taweret** is the seventh hippo the player can find. Like all other level 9 animals, it can only be found in the stampede when the player upgrades the hippo habitat to level 9.

## Appearance

The Taweret is mostly teal in colour, with the underside of its torso being a dull beige colour. Its eyes have distinct thick black outlines, similar in style to ancient Egypt deities. Around the top of its body is a replication of what is usually interpreted as Taweret's (which the Taweret is based on) hair (see image in link). It is deep navy with gold decorations. Around each of its ankles are bands coloured gold, navy and gold again.

## Description

*An ancient being known as "the great one, lardy of heaven, retainer of waters."*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Jungle 2 or greater.
* Hippo tamed.
* Hippo habitat upgraded to level 9.
* Ride past 1700m in Jungle.

**Note:** Its chance of appearing is low due to it being a tier 4 animal. It will appear randomly but not often, and never before 1700m.

## Baby Taweret

* Rare animals appear 7% more often
* Animals are 10% faster in water

## Trivia

* The Taweret is a reference to Taweret, an ancient Egyptian goddess often represented as a bipedal hippo.
	+ The description plays on some of the epithets commonly associated with Taweret, with "Lady of heaven" and "She who removes water" being changed in the description to "lardy of heaven" and "retainer of waters" respectively. This plays on a hippo being known to be big, or lardy, and to sit in water for long periods of time.
* The Taweret is one of five animals having an Ancient Egypt theme, the others being Pharaohdactyl, Anubis, Scarab Beetle, and Hierogryphon.

## Notes

* The Taweret was released on the 8th of September 2016 in version 1.2.0, along with all other Savannah, Jungle and Mountains level 9 animals.
* The description contained a minor error in that "the" was capitalised incorrectly.
	+ This was corrected in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March 2018.
Stampede

*Not to be confused with The Stampede, the PvP system of the game.*

The **Stampede** is the second centipede by zoo order. It can be found in the stampede when the player upgrades their centipede habitat to level 2 or higher.

## Appearance

The Stampede is grey in colour. Its head resembles that of an elephant's, with two large flaps that resemble elephant ears, long white tusks and a straight trunk with two nostrils. It also has the tail and feet of elephants, with each leg having a small white tip.

## Description

*With so many legs you'll feel this stampede long before you hear it.*

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Garden 5 or higher.
* Centipede tamed.
* Centipede habitat upgraded to level 2 or higher.
* Ride past 400m in Garden.

**Note:** Its chance of appearing is high but not guaranteed due to it being a tier 2 animal. It will appear often but not necessarily in every run, and never before 400m.

## Trivia

* The Stampede is based on a stampede, hence the elephant-like appearance, as elephants, due to their massive size and weight, and speed, are notorious for loud stampedes.
	+ This is also referenced in the description, which plays on a centipede's many legs.
	+ The Stampede may also loosely reference the game, Rodeo Stampede.

## Notes

* The Stampede was released in version 1.16.0 on the 8th of May 2018 on Android and on the 10th of May 2018 on iOS, along with beetles, all other centipedes and butterflies.
	+ Like all beetles, other centipedes and butterflies, the Stampede was bugged on iOS and would not appear up until the release of version 1.16.1 on the 14th of May 2018.
Stegosaurus

The **Stegosaurus** is the first stegosaurus that the player can discover in the stampede.

## Appearance

The Stegosaurus has a small head with a pointy white nose, four short, stubby legs, with the front two being noticeably smaller than the back two, a humped back that is much higher than its head, and a barbed tail which stretches back at a similar height to its back. The majority of the Stegosaurus is coloured purple, with its two rows of plates lining the whole of its back being coloured otherwise: a matte red and purple blend.

## Description

*Stegosauruses are a type of armoured dinosaur. The function of the plates on its back are still widely debated.*

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Jurassic 6 or greater.
* Ride past 1000m in Jurassic.

## Trivia

* The Stegosaurus's appearance is based on a now-extinct stegosaurus, based on the evidence of fossils and bones.
* The Stegosaurus' colouring is unlikely to reflect that of stegosauruses in real life, with the purple colour likely chosen for added vibrancy.

## Notes

* The Stegosaurus was released on the 22nd of June 2017 in version 1.9.0 along with all other stegosauruses.
* The Baby Stegosaurus' abilities appeared to be a mistake, as the base animal, being the least rare animal of each series, is supposed to have the worst baby animal abilities, and the Baby Stegosaurus' abilities were very good for any animal. Comparatively, the Baby Sparkosaurus had far worse abilities, which suggested that the two abilities were likely to have been switched.
	+ This was corrected in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March, along with the remaining stegosaurus baby abilities being changed. The original abilities were "Animals get angry 6% slower", "Eating animals is 12% more effective" and "Bucks are 9% smaller".
Wreck-o-saurus

The **Wreck-o-saurus** is the second ankylosaurus as according to the game's zoo order. It can be found in the stampede when the player upgrades their ankylosaurus habitat to level 2 or higher.

## Appearance

The Wreck-o-saurus closely resembles the Ankylosaurus, with a few notable additions. It wears a yellow builder's hat its head, and orange safety vest lined with yellow reflective material. Its tail is coloured white with a yellow tinge, with the tail club having the same colour on one side, and grey on the other. The spikes on its body are noticeably unaffected by the addition of clothing.

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Jurassic 4 or greater.
* Ankylosaurus tamed.
* Ankylosaurus habitat upgraded to level 2 or higher.
* Ride past 200m in Jurassic.

**Note:** Its chance of appearing is high but not guaranteed due to it being a tier 2 animal. It will appear often but not necessarily in every run, and never before 500m.

## Trivia

* The name "Wreck-o-saurus" is a play on the words "wreck" and "ankylosaurus".
	+ The Wreck-o-saurus is one of two animals with the word "wreck" in its name, the other being the T-Wrecks.
* The Wreck-o-saurus' description references the lyrics of 'Wrecking Ball', a popular song by Miley Cyrus. The original Miley Cyrus lyrics are 'I came in like a wrecking ball'.
* The Wreck-o-saurus looks remarkably similar to the Cementipede.

## Notes

* The Wreck-o-saurus was released in version 1.8.0 on the 18th of May 2017, along with Jurassic and most Jurassic animals.
World's Tallest Sheep

The **World's Tallest Sheep** is the eighth giraffe that can be befriended. Like all other endangered animals, it can only be found for certain random days. Its match can then be found on certain random days after the player tames it.

## Appearance

The World's Tallest Sheep has a long, black neck, black hooves, a dark grey head and dark grey legs. Around the back of its head and its whole torso, it has white areas that are puffier than the usual body of a giraffe, to represent sheep wool. Its mane is also white. Its horns are similar to a ram's, being large, thick, sharp and downwards-curling, coloured a dark beige or a yellowish khaki colour and featuring lines running horizontally down the outside edge of the horns, representing the ridges on a ram's horn. Like all other original endangered animals, it releases a trail, this one being a short thick trail of small white clouds.

## Description

*This giraffe really has its head up in the clouds.*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Savannah 3 or greater.
* Giraffe tamed.
* Can only be tamed on a certain random day, and can only be matched on a certain random day after it has been tamed.
	+ Ride past 1500m in Savannah.
* After it is matched it can be found permanently in the stampede.

**Note:** Its chance of appearing is extremely low due to it being a tier 5 animal. It will appear randomly but very rarely, and never before 1500m.

## Baby World's Tallest Sheep

* Jump from animals 8% higher
* Taming animals is 10% quicker

## Trivia

* The World's Tallest Sheep is a play on a giraffe's height.
	+ The description plays on the madness of the World's Tallest Sheep being a type of giraffe and how it could quite literally have its "head up in the clouds" due to its height. This is also supported by the fact that it has a trail of clouds behind it.
* One of the Baby World's Tallest Sheep's attributes, specifically the one referring to taming, is a reference to sheep being tame animals and easy to farm due to their following nature.

## Notes

* The World's Tallest Sheep was released in version 1.7.0 on the 23rd of March 2017 along with all other original endangered animals.
Tyrannosaurus Rex

The **Tyrannosaurus Rex** is the first variety tyrannosaurus rex which the player can discover in the stampede.

## Appearance

The Tyrannosaurus Rex is a dull ashy red colour at the top of each part of its body and its feet, which fades into a beige colour. It has a distinctly large head and hunched over physique, with short arms and a relatively long tail. Its feet each have three grey claws attached to them. The Tyrannosaurus Rex's teeth are clearly visible, being large, sharp and white.

## Description

*Tyrannosaurus Rex, or "Tyrant Lizard King" once lived throughout what is now western North America.*

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Jurassic 2 or greater.
* Ride in Jurassic (must be riding an animal slower than a wild tyrannosaurus rex).

## Trivia

* The Tyrannosaurus Rex appearance resembles the commonly misconceived and archaic appearance of the real-life extinct tyrannosaurus rex based on the fossils and skeletal evidence.
	+ The Tyrannosaurus Rex's description includes true background information about real life tyrannosaurus rexes.

## Notes

* The Tyrannosaurus Rex was released in version 1.8.0 on the 18th of May 2017, along with Jurassic and most Jurassic animals.
Subscriptions

**Subscriptions** are offers in which the player is able to pay a certain amount weekly to obtain certain benefits, some of which being **exclusive to subscriptions only**. Currently there are two different subscription offers.

### Free Trial

The player is able to trial **one** subscription **once** for free, for 3 days. The player receives all benefits from the subscription for 3 days, free of charge. The subscription must be cancelled at least 24 hours before the subscription ends, or else the player will be charged for the next week's subscription. The player cannot trial both the Legendary Lion Subscription and Lucky Lamb Subscription, as the free trial can only be activated **once in total**.

Species: Elephant

The **elephant** is the third species available to the player. Elephants are smashing animals. There are 14 different types of elephant. They are available from Savannah 1, after the player tames the Zebra, however, this excludes the Skelephant, which can be found from Savannah 4 onwards. The Elephanival can also only be bought from Savannah 2 onwards.

## Elephants

**Note:** All boss animals can only be found in the stampede after the player has initially befriended it.

### Deleted

This elephant was part of the soft launch of the game, but it was replaced in the official release.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Elephants appear fairly rarely and usually by themselves moving forward at a slow rate.
* **When ridden:** Elephants suddenly move at a rapid constant rate, and are able to smash into anything in their way except for giant centre rocks, if the player has upgraded their elephant habitat to level 3.
* **When angry:** Elephants stop and throw the player off using their trunk, sending them approximately 50m in the direction that they were facing.
* **In habitat:** They mostly walk around and sometimes use their trunks to pick up grass.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** They move their trunks in an upward motion and wobble their body from the base of their legs.

## Tips

Elephants are good short term animals as they are simply invincible to everything except giant rocks and walls if they are upgraded to level 5. They are most useful later on when the player is moving too fast to be able to react sufficiently as the player can simply run through without any worries, although they must be prepared for when the elephant is angry, where it throws the player off.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - 2x more elephants in the stampede
* **Level 2** - Ride for an extra 1s before an elephant gets angry
* **Level 3** - Allows elephants to smash through rocks

Sunset Twinkle

The **Sunset Twinkle** is the eighth fox in zoo order. Like all endangered animals it can only be found on random days. Its match can then be found on certain random days after the player has tamed it.

## Appearance

The Sunset Twinkle appears mostly identical to the White Fox, with a few differences. Its body is coloured lavender, with dark purple ears and lower legs, and it has a mop of striped purple and magenta hair on its head, along with a similarly coloured tail.

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Tundra 4 or greater.
* White Fox tamed.
* Can only be tamed on a certain random day, and can only be matched on a certain random day after it has been tamed.
	+ Ride past 1200m in Tundra.
* After it is matched it can be found permanently in the stampede.

**Note:** Its chance of appearing is extremely low due to it being a tier 5 animal. It will appear randomly but very rarely, and never before 1200m.

## Baby Sunset Twinkle

* Jump from animals 10% higher
* Rare animals appear 10% more often

## Trivia

* The Sunset Twinkle's name and appearance are obvious references to Twilight Sparkle, a major character in the My Little Pony franchise.
	+ The words "sunset" and "twinkle" are synonyms for the words "twilight" and "sparkle", respectively.
	+ The Sunset Twinkle's description references Twilight Sparkle's status in the TV show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
	+ The Baby Sunset Twinkle's ability regarding rare animal appearance may be a reference of rarity and specialness of a unicorn, which is Twilight Sparkle's species.

## Notes

* The Sunset Twinkle was released in version 1.7.0 on the 23rd of March 2017 along with all other original endangered animals.
* There is a bug that the Baby Sunset Twinkle won't appear big on the screen after done breeding like other baby animals.

The Lovebug

**The Lovebug** is the fifth beetle in order in the zoo. It can be found in the stampede when the player upgrades their beetle habitat to level 2 or higher.

## Appearance

The Lovebug has a similar general shape to the Beetle, albeit it is designed to look like a car. It has a cool dark blue body, head and legs, with a white plate on top of its head, sporting the number 53 in blocky numbers on a black-bordered white octagon, and three vertical stripes, coloured red, blue and a thin grey stripe from right to left. Its back also features a similar stripe pattern, and also has two dark blue stripes lining the lower edge of the shell, a large, silver bumper at the base of the back and two reflective yellow taillights. Its head includes the additions of a set of headlights, shaped octagonally with a silver edge and a reflective yellow centre, and mirrors just behind its headlights.

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Garden 4 or greater.
* Beetle tamed.
* Beetle habitat upgraded to level 2 or higher.
* Ride past 1200m in Garden.

**Note:** Its chance of appearing is low due to it being a tier 4 animal. It will appear randomly but not often, and never before 1200m.

## Baby The Lovebug

* Taming mating animals is 20% quicker
* *Mating animals appear 1% more often (passive)*

## Trivia

* The Lovebug is a reference to Herbie the Love Bug, an anthropomorphic Volkswagen Beetle that was a featuring character from the Disney film *The Love Bug*. The Lovebug was likely chosen as a beetle due to the original car model being a Beetle.
	+ The description also references Herbie, specifically the setting of the film and the fact that Volkswagen is a German automobile company.
	+ The Baby The Lovebug's abilities relating to mating literally reference the 'love' part of Herbie the Love Bug, and may also relate to Herbie's sentient nature.

## Notes

* The Lovebug was released in version 1.16.0 on the 8th of May 2018 on Android and on the 10th of May 2018 on iOS, along with all other beetles, centipedes and butterflies.
	+ On iOS, all beetles, centipedes and butterflies were bugged, not appearing in the stampede up until version 1.16.1 on the 14th of May 2018.

## Appearance

The Thorny Devil has a milk coffee coloured body, with two sides of it being brown. Its limbs are brown, while its claws are coloured in beige gradients. It has a chocolate coloured mouth. Its sail feathers are long, spiky and coloured beige. There are also some feathers on its nose's bridge and on the V-shaped fragments that are attached to both sides of its head. Additionally, small feathers grow scatteredly along both sides of its body. A brown sphere sits on top of its nose. Above the V-shape fragments, there are two octagon-shaped plates attached to its head. The Thorny Devil wears a pair of round black eyeglasses.

## Requirements

* Great Wall 1 unlocked.
* Chinese Dragon tamed.
* Chinese dragon habitat upgraded to level 5 or higher.
* Ride past 1800m in Great Wall.

**Note:** Its chance of appearing is extremely low due to it being a tier 5 animal. It will appear randomly but very rarely, and never before 1800m.

## Baby Thorny Devil

* Crates give 20% more coins
* Missions give 10% more coins

## Trivia

* The Thorny Devil is based on a thorny devil, also known as a thorny dragon.
	+ The description plays on the spikiness of a thorny devil.

## Notes

* The Thorny Devil was released in version 1.22.0 on the 28th of January 2019 along with Great Wall and the first five Great Wall species.
Species: Pterodactyl

**Pterodactyls** are the seventh species of animal available in the Jurassic island. Pterodactyls are flying animals. There are 10 different types of pterodactyl. Like all Space Zoo animals, more pterodactyls are unlocked progressively as the player upgrades the pterodactyl habitat. They can be unlocked when the player upgrades their ship to Jurassic 5.

## Pterodactyls

**Note:** All boss animals can only be found in the stampede and give XP after the player has initially befriended it in a boss mission.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Pterodactyls fly slowly over the stampede.
* **When ridden:** Pterodactyls fly faster and higher than wild ones.
* **When angry:** Pterodactyls swoop up and down like vultures, although with each swoop their maximum height becomes lower and lower until it swoops along the ground.
* **In habitat:** Pterodactyls stand in the habitat with wings folded. They will twitch their head and look around, as well and preen under their right wing every so often.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** Pterodactyls flap their wings in two periods.

## Tips

Pterodactyls have several advantages in that their speed allows the player to outpace tyrannosaurus rexes and volcanic rocks, and their agility makes them good distance fliers despite the fact that they swoop along the ground when angry.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - 2x more pterodactyls in the stampede
* **Level 2** - Add two new rare pterodactyls to the stampede (Taurodactyl, Swearodactyl)
* **Level 3** - Ride for an extra 1.5s before a pterodactyl gets angry
* **Level 4** - Jump further from pterodactyls
* **Level 5** - Add two new rare pterodactyls to the stampede (Pharaohdactyl, Fairydactyl, unlocks Hairodactyl mission)
* **Level 6** - Get bonus coins for swooping on pterodactyls
* **Level 7** - Pterodactyl swoops stay higher for longer
* **Level 8** - 2x more rare pterodactyls the stampede
* **Level 9** - Add a new rare Pterodactyl to the stampede (Petrodactyl)

## Notes

* Pterodactyls were released in version 1.8.0 on the 18th of May 2017 along with Jurassic, the Space Zoo and the other species making up the first seven released in Jurassic.
	+ Like all other original Jurassic species, pterodactyls were bugged in that even if the player had not yet unlocked the required level to unlock a regular animal, they could still find all pterodactyls from level 0 upon release.
		- This was fixed in version 1.9.0 on the 22nd of June 2017.
Wild Snore

Tundra

**Tundra** is the fifth unlockable zone in the Sky Zoo of Rodeo Stampede. The area is characterized by icy terrain with hardened puddles and bare trees. Ice patches are introduced as a new environment modifier where certain animals like penguins and walruses adapt better compared to the rest of the horde. Another new introduction is the inclusion of walruses suddenly jumping out of the sidewalls and occasionally, the single centre rocks past 2000m, in which the player dies if they hit one. It can be unlocked when the player upgrades their ship from Outback 5 to Tundra 1. The domineering colour scheme of Tundra initially proceeds from light blue or cyan, abruptly transitioning into to a darker blue between 1000m and 2000m, and finally peaks at purplish hue beyond 2000m distances. Strategy-wise, it has rocky walls rendering the evasive manoeuvre of steering near the edges of the path a risky ploy. It also features sections without walls on both sides wherein the player can easily fall off, extremely narrow sections, and giant boulders blocking some to most of the mid-section of the path found between the starting line and 1000m, and beyond 2000m as well. Off the side of the stampede area are icebergs with varying sizes used mainly for aesthetics and does not in any way affect the user's gameplay.

For specifics on each part in Tundra, see the table below.

## Tips and Strategies

Tundra is not as difficult as Mountains or Outback, but there are still some tricky areas, especially with ice. For the first 4000m, it is recommended to use an owl due to their speed and versatility. Tundra does not feature many obstacles, so its is easy to use an owl's ability to smash small animals (all except walruses and polar bears in Tundra) and go very far on a single owl. Once the player is past approximately 4000m, seals and polar bears are recommended, seals for their ability to slide on ice and smash other small animals and polar bears for their ability to eat any other animal and move at a steady pace. Walruses are also recommended but they are hard to lasso when travelling at high speed.

## Trivia

* The Tundra map icon is shaped somewhat similarly to Antarctica, despite the fact most of the animals are found in the Arctic in real life.

## Notes

* Tundra was released on the 25th of January 2017 in version 1.5.0, along with all Tundra animals.
* Tundra has identical music to Mountains, although this could be changed in a future update.
* The original name of Tundra was going to be "Artic" [*sic*], as shown by Game Center and Google Play Games achievement "Might get a little cold", that has the description "Unlock the Artic"

SweetFang

The **SweetFang** is the fifth Chinese dragon in zoo order. It can be found in the stampede after the player upgrades their Chinese dragon habitat to level 2 or higher.

## Appearance

The SweetFang looks like the Chinese Dragon in general, except instead of having a long, serpent-like body, its body is made of five bright red spheres threaded together, with each sphere being slightly bigger than the SweetFang's skull. This is meant to resemble some sort of cake or pastry. On the upper parts of the second and fourth spheres, there are layers of sauce-like orange liquid splattered on each, probably trying to resemble frosting. The tail feathers are also replaced with a smaller red sphere, with the sauce-like liquid on the top. There are three small red spheres impaled by its horns, two on the left horn and one on the right horn.

## Requirements

* Great Wall 1 unlocked.
* Chinese Dragon tamed.
* Chinese dragon habitat upgraded to level 2 or higher.
* Ride past 1400m in Great Wall.

**Note:** Its chance of appearing is low due to it being a tier 4 animal. It will appear randomly but not often, and never before 1400m.

## Baby SweetFang

* Missions give 10% more coins
* Eating animals is 10% more effective

## Trivia

* The SweetFang's name may be a play on 'sweet tooth', replacing 'tooth' with 'fang' as dragons have fangs instead of teeth. This is reflected in the description.
	+ The SweetFang's appearance is a reference to the tanghulu, a traditional Northern Chinese snack.
	+ The baby's abilities to give more coins and to make eating animals more effective are related to the facts that tanghulu is good-selling with tourists, and tanghulu is for eating.

## Notes

* The SweetFang was released in version 1.22.0 on the 28th of January 2019 along with Great Wall and the first five Great Wall species.

Species: Crab

**Crabs** are the second species of animal available in the Ocean Zoo. Crabs are throwing animals. There are 6 different types of crab.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Crabs move horizontally across the stampede, attempting to make the player bump into them.
* **When ridden:** Crabs move sideways facing right, and move quickly. When the player jumps off a crab, it will stop, pick up the player in their claws, and throw the player powerfully, sending them flying forward. The player's lasso will not activate for about 20m after jumping off a crab, meaning close-by animals cannot be landed on.
* **When angry:** Crabs will immediately throw the player off in the same manner as if the player chooses to jump off a crab manually.
* **In habitat:** Crabs occasionally hold food in their claws and eat it.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** Crabs raise their claws in the air and snap three times.

## Tips

The distance that crabs throw the player is great, making it easy to reach oxygen bubbles more quickly. This, combined with upgrading the crab habitat to level 7, gives a huge amount of coins if left to fly for a few seconds. Crabs also earn 2x more money from crates (level 3), which is huge considering crates in Ocean provide far more  than in other zones. Landing on them also won't reduce the player's lasso size upon upgrading the crab habitat to level 6.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - Ride for an extra 2s before a crab gets angry
* **Level 2** - Oxygen depletes 5% slower
* **Level 3** - While riding a crab, crates are worth 2x more
* **Level 4** - Jumping from a crab temporarily increases lasso size by 20%
* **Level 5** - Gain 50% more ticket money from crabs
* **Level 6** - Landing on a crab doesn't reduce your lasso size
* **Level 7** - Get bonus coins for longer jumps from crabs
* **Level 8** - Jump further from crabs
* **Level 9** - 2x more rare crabs in the stampede

## Trivia

* Crabs are the only animal species in the game with different eyes than every other animal, with the pupil being on the top right rather than being in the middle, and the pupil being a rectangle rather than an “L” shape.

## Notes

* Crabs were released in version 2.0.0 on the 14th of April 2022, along with the Ocean Zoo, Ocean and all original Ocean species.
