Sleepy Squid

The **Sleepy Squid** is the second squid in the game.

## Appearance

The colouring of the Sleepy Squid's body is a gradient of faint cyan at the end of its main tentacles which transition to yellow throughout its lower body and changes to light blue at its trunk. The Sleepy Squid's trunk is covered by a semi-transparent, bag-like cap with two horizontal-side projections with a yellow spot in the middle which resembles a sleeping cap and reveals the inner portion of its head. The Sleepy Squid also has two other small tentacles which are coloured in light blue attached to the sides of its lower body which are distinctly separate from its main tentacles.

## Description

*Knows how to brighten up the mood after telling a bad dad joke.*

## Requirements

* Ocean Zoo unlocked.
* Squid tamed.
* Ride past 500m in Ocean.

**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 Sleepy Squid appears to have a lot of incongruent references. Neither the name "Sleepy Squid", the description or the appearance seem to match each other.

## Notes

* The Sleepy Squid was released in version 2.0.0 on the 14th of April 2022, along with Ocean and all other original Ocean animals and the Ocean Zoo.
Metalsaurolophus

The **Metalsaurolophus** is the ninth variety of parasaurolophus in the game. It is a boss animal, meaning that it can only be tamed after the player completes a minigame called a boss mission. After successfully taming, it can be found permanently in the stampede.

## Appearance

The Metalsaurolophus, as the name suggests, is coated in metal plating, largely darker grey at the top and lighter grey making up the majority of the rest of its body. A metal helmet, complete with side plating covering the face, sits on the head, while the neck is protected by neck armour that has 3 layers, the thickest being at the bottom. On the top of each leg is a metal plate with a backward facing dagger attached; the dagger is coloured red, connected by a dark grey seam. A similar red dagger is featured on the back of the Metalsaurolophus's head and tail. The Metalsaurolophus additionally has small light grey bumps lining its tail.

## Description

*Metal skin, sharp claw - Metalsaurolophus is second to none.*

## Requirements

* Jurassic 1 unlocked.
* Obtain in events:
	+ Purchase for 250 in the Fourth Anniversary Event.
	+ Purchase for 230 in the Fifth Anniversary Event.
	+ Purchase for 200 in the Summer Party.
	+ Purchase for 250 in the Badge Shop.
		- Metalsaurolophus is tamed immediately upon purchase.
	+ Complete Metalsaurolophus boss mission in the 2020 Chinese New Year Event (tips for completion are below).
* To be found in the stampede: Once obtained, ride past 2200m in Jurassic.

**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 2200m.

## Tips for Boss Mission

The player begins the Metalsaurolophus boss mission in a red zone with a similar design to Jurassic past 2000m. Skeletons can be seen in the stampede, along with volcanic rocks bombarding the player, the Metalsaurolophus and many other parasaurolophuses. The player must jump onto the Metalsaurolophus and navigate through bombardments of volcanic rocks while avoiding crashing into other parasaurolophuses. The Metalsaurolophus will remain not angry for the whole mission. A good tip is to predict the path of the wild parasaurolophuses so that they are not run into when attempting to avoid volcanic rocks.

## Baby Metalsaurolophus

* Animals get angry 14% slower
* Missions give 15% more coins

## Trivia

* The Metalsaurolophus appears to reference mechanical customisations to humans or creatures in popular culture, creating super-powered beasts.

Robin Should

The **Robin Should** is the sixth eagle. Like all secret animals, it requires the player to complete a special task to befriend it, but unlike most secret animals, it comes pre-spawned randomly, much like regular and boss animals once they have been initially befriended.

## Appearance

The Robin Should is made up of many colours and features. Its wings are colourful, consisting of yellow and green gradient wingtip feathers (possibly representing leaves), brown wings and a red and orange gradient decal running down the centre of each wing. Also on each of its wings are a pair of bow and arrows. Its head features a brown beak with a lining coloured red and orange and a green bycrocket (a type of hat) with an orange feather sticking out of the left side of the brim. Across its back is a brown quiver with a red square opening and a yellow and green rim, carrying two arrows with green feathers.

Jumping from any animal should result in the player making the distance.
	+ These four bushes are only ever found between 0 and 1000m.

**Note:** Due to it being a secret animal, it will appear **every time** the player completes the above requirements.

## Baby Robin Should

* Crates give 30% more coins
* *Lasso shrinks 1% slower (passive)*

## Trivia

* The Robin Should is a play on Robin Hood, an outlaw of English folklore known to rob the rich to feed the poor. It is also a play on a robin, a type of bird.

	+ The Robin Should is one of two animals referencing Robin Hood, the other being the Robin Hoot.
* The game provides a hint on how to tame the Robin Should, which as of update 1.7.0, would disappear once the player had tamed it. The hint is "If the bushes told you to jump off a cliff, would you?"

## Notes

* The Robin Should was released in version 1.1.0 on the 26th of July 2016 along with Mountains and all other Mountains species.
* The Robin Should could initially only be found from Mountains 5, however this was changed to Mountains 4 at an unknown date.

Storm Clowld

The **Storm Clowld** is the eighth VIP animal.

## Appearance

The Storm Clowld shares the body of an owl, albeit far puffier and more bloated. Its main colour is a greyish-blue, and its wings are a slight variation of this colour. Its eyebrows go from a light greyish-blue colour to a bright greyish-blue; its right eyebrow is notably far bigger and puffier than its left. While the head of the Storm Clowld maintains the square shape of other owls' faces, it is rounder, larger and softer in appearance to reflect the cloud motif.

* **In habitat:** The Storm Clowld walks and stands around with wings folded. It will occasionally twitch its head once to the left and right, scratching its head with the joint of its wing when it twitches its head to the right.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** The Storm Clowld flaps its wings rapidly in two bursts.

## Trivia

* The Storm Clowld's name is a pun on 'storm cloud'.
	+ The description plays on how lightning strikes quickly in the sky, creating a "flash" as it strikes.

## Appearance

The Stitchosaurus's torso is coloured burgundy, however it is not shaded, rather, it has some inconsistencies, with small faded patches speckled all over to give it a fabric or textured look. Its eyes are larger and rounder than usual, with the appearance of a red button with hessian stitching. Dark brown buttons serve as a connection between each limb and the torso. Jutting out from its back are variously placed pins, with faceted tops coloured red, orange, matte yellow, matte cyan and matte blue.

## Description

*A stitch in time won't save you from extinction.*

## Requirements

The Owlgebra is completely dark blue, and wears goofy maroon spectacles that are hexagonal shaped and a black graduation hat. Its clothing is comprised of a nerdy beige v-neck sweater on top of a white collared shirt, complete with a short red tie.

## Description

*A mathematical genius who has just recently graduated.*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Tundra 3 or greater.
* Snowy Owl tamed.
* Unlock (see how to unlock boss mission here) and complete Owlgebra boss mission (tips for completion are below). From here it can be found in Tundra permanently.

**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.

## Tips for Boss Mission

The Owlgebra boss mission is fairly straightforward, although it might need several tries. The player must rely on judgement of the Owlgebra's swoops down to the ground to avoid hitting underpasses, and go around them when the Owlgebra is rising.

## Baby Owlgebra

* Missions give 20% more coins
* Flying animals swoop 6% slower

## Trivia

* The Owlgebra is a pun on 'algebra', a form of mathematics where an unknown value, commonly labelled as 'x', is found through a sequence of basic calculations.

* Like most other Tundra descriptions, the description was missing a period at the end.
	+ This was corrected in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March 2018.
Roller Bear

The **Roller Bear** is the sixth polar bear. It is a boss animal, meaning that in order to tame it, the player must complete a mini game. After successfully taming, it can be found permanently in the stampede.

## Appearance

The Roller Bear is coloured a pale mauve, with a yellow t-shirt and purple pants being its aspects of clothing. The Roller Bear wears purple roller skates on each foot, each with five red wheels that are thicker than the width of its foot. On its head the Roller Bear wears an orange helmet, with a thin brown strap around its chin.

## Description

*Because the ice wasn't slippery enough.*

## Tips for Boss Mission

To complete the Roller Bear boss mission, the player is required to navigate the Roller Bear through an environment that is almost completely ice, with small rocks poking through and small animals hopping around. The player must eat the animals to keep the Roller Bear happy while traversing through the ice, avoiding the small rocks. The mission is fairly simple, although it is helpful to try to travel in a straight a line as possible. Due to the icy environment, upgrading the polar bear habitat to level 6 could help significantly.

## Baby Roller Bear

* Eating animals is 8% more effective
* Animals handle ice 20% better

## Trivia

* The Roller Bear is a play on rollerskates.
	+ The description references rollerskates' unstable nature.

## Notes

* Like most other Tundra descriptions, the description was missing a period at the end.

Rare Animals

**Rare animals** are not a class of animal, rather, it describes animals that can be found **randomly** in the stampede. This term is frequently used in Rodeo Stampede, especially in the baby ability rare animals appear x% more often, as well as rare animal boosts from the Lucky Lamb and Legendary Lion Subscription.

Rodeo Stampede Soft Launch

The **Rodeo Stampede Soft Launch** was a beta release of the game prior to the official release, version 1.0.0 on the 22nd of June 2016. It had 2 versions, versions 0.1.0 and 0.2.0. The purpose of the soft launch was to promote the game and for Featherweight Games to gain some feedback about controls, ideas and reception. The player play both Savannah and Jungle, however, many animals that the player could tame in Savannah were cut from the official release. On the other hand, Jungle animals have remained largely the same.

## Full List of Animals

Here is the full list of Savannah animals in the soft launch versions. All animals are written exactly as they were in-game.

## Other Differences

* The soft launch had a second control mechanism option, where the player could choose to flick in the direction they wanted to jump instead of releasing.
* The control of the game was also a bit unresponsive, which was tweaked for the official release.
* The Rodeo Stampede logo as it is now had not yet been designed, so the game used a different logo.

Platypotamus

The **Platypotamus** is the sixth hippo the player can befriend in the game. It is a secret animal, requiring the player to complete a hidden mission for it to spawn.

The two colours join in the middle and form a wave pattern, and also fade into each other with a slight gradient. Its muzzle is coloured completely bright yellow, as is its long bushy tail which is fat at the end. Its webbed feet are also yellow.

## Description

*And you thought a platypus was a weird animal.*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Jungle 2 or greater.
* Hippo tamed.
* Ride a single hippo without dying for 25 seconds in Jungle.
	+ This is easier once the player passes 3000m.
	+ It will spawn after 25 seconds, but the player will catch up to it and see it at around 27-28 seconds.

**Note:** Due to it being a secret animal, it will appear **every time** the player completes the above requirements.

## Trivia

* The Platypotamus is a play on a platypus, an animal native to Australia known to have thought to have been a cross between a duck and a beaver.
	+ The description plays on this, especially how the platypus was considered such a weird animal that it was thought to be a hybrid animal.
	+ The Baby Platypotamus' extremely high boost of speed in water when sidekicked also references how the Platypotamus is a splice of a hippopotamus and a platypus, which in turn was believed to be a cross between a duck and a beaver, all of which being aquatic animals.
* The Platypotamus may have some design choices based on Perry the Platypus from *Phineas and Ferb*.

## Notes

* The Platypotamus was released in the original release, version 1.0.0, on the 22nd of June 2016, along with Savannah and all original Savannah animals, Jungle and all other original Jungle animals, and the Sky Zoo.
* There is a hint that is given to the player which, as of version 1.7.0, disappears once the player tames the Platypotamus. Every so often, the message "Ever tried to solo rodeo a hippo?" appears.
	+ This replaced the original hint, "Have you ever tried hippo rodeo?".
* The description contained a punctuation error. Between 'a' and 'weird', there was a double space as opposed to a single space.
	+ This was corrected in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March 2018.
* The description was different in the soft launch, reading: "Extremely popular with Australian zoo visitors."
Marcel Rhineau

The **Marcel Rhineau** is the seventh rhino that can be found in the game. It can only be found in the stampede when the player upgrades their rhino habitat to level 9, like all other level 9 animals.

## Appearance

The Marcel Rhineau is based on the typical French mime. It has stark white skin and its horn is coloured red. It has black makeup below its eyes, a striped black and white shirt and the tip of its tail and ears are black. It also wears a red beret.

## Description

*Has perfected the art of mime by silently rampaging through the jungle.*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Jungle 3 or greater.
* Rhino tamed.
* Rhino habitat upgraded to level 9.
* Ride past 1200m 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 1200m.

## Baby Marcel Rhineau

* Crates give 12% more coins
* Missions give 12% more coins

## Trivia

* The Marcel Rhineau is based on Marcel Marceau, a deceased French mime artist.

## Notes

* The Marcel Rhineau was released on the 8th of September 2016 in version 1.2.0, along with all other Savannah, Jungle and Mountains level 9 animals.
Species: Rhino

**Rhinos** are the twelfth animal in the Sky Zoo. Rhinos are smashing animals. There are 11 different types of rhino. They can be unlocked at Jungle 3, excluding the Dhinoceros, which is unlocked at Jungle 4.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Rhinos move very slowly.
* **When ridden:** Rhinos are slow to begin with but as the player rides them, they will speed up. If the player smashes shrubs, rocks (level 3 habitat required), animals and trees, they will speed up even faster, with a noticeable "jolt" in speed with every obstacle smashed.
* **When angry:** Rhinos stop, lurch back and launch the player forward with a buck.
* **In habitat:** They walk around, sometimes sniffing the ground or wagging their tail.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** They wiggle around like jelly from the base of their legs.

## Tips

From level 3 onwards, rhinos can smash rocks, making them indestructible to anything apart from side walls. Rhinos are extremely useful at any distance in Jungle due to their invincibility and their increased speed, particularly later on when the player is moving especially fast as they can carry the player almost 1000m.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - 2x more rhinos in the stampede
* **Level 2** - Smashing things will increase the speed of a rhino
* **Level 3** - Allows rhinos to smash through rocks
* **Level 4** - Gain 50% more ticket money from rhinos
* **Level 5** - Increased riding speed on rhinos
* **Level 6** - Ride for an extra 1s before a rhino gets angry
* **Level 7** - Get bonus coins by smashing obstacles on rhinos
* **Level 8** - 2x more rare rhinos in the stampede
* **Level 9** - Add a new rare Rhino to the stampede (Marcel Rhineau)

## Notes

* Rhinos were released in the original release, version 1.0.0, on the 22nd of June 2016, along with Savannah and all original Savannah animals, Jungle and all other original Jungle animals, and the Sky Zoo.
* Rhinos with the ending 'ceros' were inconsistently spelt. The only correct example of this was in 'Dhinoceros', with the suffix being spelt correctly with the 'o'. The other two ('Skynocerus' and 'Slimenocerus') were spelt incorrectly with a 'u' in the suffix.
	+ This was corrected in version 1.12.1 on the 14th of November 2017.
Liberay

The **Liberay** is the fifth manta ray in the game.

Mesa Moose

The **Mesa Moose** is the fourth moose.

## Appearance

The Mesa Moose's body is mostly a dull, sandy orange colour, with parts of its body fading into a beige colour. Its legs, tail and antlers are green, being made up of various types of plants or patterns. The Mesa Moose's legs each have two horizontal green stripes running the whole way around, and its green hooves are made up of desert shrubbery. Cacti make up the Mesa Moose's antlers and tail, the former being made up of two saguaro cacti and the latter of one round peyote cactus.

## Description

*This arid moose is mostly sandstone. It grows saguaro from its head, and peyote from its butt.*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Mountains 5 or greater.
* Alpine Moose tamed.
* Ride past 2000m in Mountains.

**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 2000m.

## Baby Mesa Moose

* Jump from animals 3% faster
* Jump from animals 9% higher

## Trivia

* The Mesa Moose is a play on a mesa, a type of elevated landscape which includes a flat top and very steep sides found in arid regions.
	+ The description reiterates this, and also explains the types of cacti the Mesa Moose is designed with and the reasoning for its colour.

## Notes

* The Mesa Moose was released in version 1.1.0 on the 26th of July 2016 along with Mountains and all other Mountains species.
Savannah

**Savannah** is the first zone that the player unlocks in Rodeo Stampede and in the Sky Zoo, it is unlocked by default after the player has befriended their first buffalo. It is mainly a golden-green colour which makes it appear similar to the African savannah, and the map is slightly darker as the player travels to 1000m and again at 2000m. It has smooth walls to make it easier, and features rivers running horizontally along the stampede area and giant rocks that appear in either ones (in the centre) or twos (slightly smaller; one to one side, another just after it to the other side). The walls of Savannah are high and stepped, and the stampede area is generally a decent width. It is considered the easiest island in the game.

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

## Tips and Strategies

One major tip for high scores in Savannah is utilising the animals. Every animal in Savannah is extremely useful in one way or another. Elephants are useful short-term animals that can smash through everything except giant centre rocks and walls. Early on, the ostrich is highly recommended due to its speed, its ability to grant the player a second chance if the player crashes and the fact that it can hug the sidewalls without crashing. Later on, giraffes are very useful as they can smash most animals without immediately dying and can fling the player a long distance with a hugely increased lasso size, meaning that the chances of missing an animal with a well-directed jump are extremely low. Giraffes can also smash trees, which can be useful past the 2000m point. Zebras are also a useful asset, with the player being able to ride them without their lasso size shrinking from level 3. Once past the 2000m point, using lions is recommended, for past 2000m there are lots of animals, allowing the player to ride lions for an extended period as well as avoid crashing into objects.

## Trivia

* The icon for the Savannah map is shaped like Africa, as the most famous savannah is situated in Africa and all Savannah animals in the game are from the African savannah.

## Notes

* Savannah was released in the original release, version 1.0.0, on the 22nd of June 2016, along with Jungle and the Sky Zoo.
* The Cash Cow and the Mission Mule were relocated from the buffalo and zebra habitats respectively to the epic habitat, in version 1.4.0.

Navy Seal

The **Navy Seal** is the sixth seal in the game. It is a boss animal, meaning that the player requires to complete a minigame to tame it. After successfully taming it, the Navy Seal can be found like a regular tier 5 animal in the stampede.

## Appearance

The Navy Seal, as its name suggests, wears a dark navy-coloured uniform, which consists of a v-neck sweater, a short black tie, a white collared shirt, two squares (possibly representing medallions of some sort) at its chest and a gold anchor on its back for decoration. A gold telescope sits at its right side, and three lines of gold stripes are arranged horizontally along its front flippers. These may represent either cuffs or epaulettes. Its head reveals its natural body colour of bluish-grey, and has a sailor's hat with a stiff navy brim, a white top and a gold anchor logo at the front.

## Description

*Why swim when you can sail the seven seas.*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Tundra 1 or greater.
* Common Seal tamed.
* Unlock (see how to unlock boss mission here) and complete Navy Seal boss mission (tips for completion are below). From here it can be found in Tundra permanently.
* To be found in the stampede: Ride past 1800m in Tundra.

**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.

## Tips for Boss Mission

The Navy Seal boss mission is fairly simple and straightforward; the player is simply required to navigate through a stampede of Common Seals and occasionally Walruses, through sections of ice and small rocks. The player can use the seal's level 5 ability to smash seals when traversing on ice. Otherwise, the player should ensure to stay away from the edges to avoid walruses, and utilise the ice when the seal is angry to gain more predictable control than a seal hopping with long jumps.

## Baby Navy Seal

* Animals handle ice 20% better
* Bucks are 6% smaller

## Trivia

* The Navy Seal plays on the Navy SEALs, or the navy **se**a, **a**ir and **l**and teams.
	+ The Baby Navy Seal ability boosting speed in water references how the navy is the military service of the sea.

## Notes

* The Navy Seal was released on the 25th of January 2017 in version 1.5.0, along with Tundra and all other Tundra animals.
* Like most other Tundra descriptions, the description was missing a period at the end.
	+ This was corrected in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March 2018; however, it should've contained a question mark.

	+ The Baby Scarab Beetle's crate and mission bonus abilities also references the jewellery theme, particularly how jewellery is precious and valuable.
	+ The Scarab Beetle is one of five animals having an Ancient Egypt theme, the others being Taweret, Pharaohdactyl, Anubis, and Hierogryphon.

## Appearance

The Medium-Rare-atops is notable for embodying numerous foods in its appearance. Its frill is green with lighter veins branching from the bottom centre, like a lettuce leaf, and its head takes the appearance of a potato, with small spots and a large, bulky shape. The orange colour of its horns resembles that of carrots, and its eyes, while being square, each resemble a sliced cherry tomato. Each of its stubby legs are coloured mustard yellow, fading into a golden colour. Its main body is coloured brown, similarly to meat, and has a red flag sticking out of its back behind the player.

## Description

*Became a delicacy among carnivores due to how rare it was.*

## Requirements

* Jurassic 1 unlocked.
* Triceratops tamed.
* Triceratops habitat upgraded to level 5 or higher.
* Ride past 2000m in Jurassic.

## Baby Medium-Rare-atops

* Eating animals is 12% more effective
* Bucks are 9% smaller

## Trivia

* The Medium-Rare-atops is a play on medium rare doneness of meat, considered to be one of the preferred donenesses of meat, usually steak.
	+ The appearance references how steak is usually served.
	+ The description plays on how medium rare steak is figuratively considered a "delicacy", being one of the optimum donenesses of meat, as well as how the Medium-Rare-atops is literally "rare", being uncommon and difficult to find.
	+ The Baby Medium-Rare-atops's ability where eating animals becomes 12% more effective when sidekicked also references the Medium-Rare-atops's food theme.

## Notes

* The Medium-Rare-atops was released in version 1.8.0 on the 18th of May 2017, along with Jurassic and most Jurassic animals.
Species: Pegasus

**Pegasuses** are the first species of animal available in the Olympus zone and the tenth animal species in the Space Zoo. Pegasuses are bucking animals. There are 10 different types of pegasus. Like all Space Zoo animals, more pegasuses are unlocked progressively as the player upgrades the pegasus habitat. They can be unlocked when the player upgrades their ship to Olympus 1.

## Pegasuses

**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:** Pegasuses are found moving slowly in groups (0 to 2000m) or alone (2000m and above).
* **When ridden:** Pegasuses jump up and glide for a short while before running at a pace slightly faster than when wild.
* **When angry:** Pegasuses buck somewhat similarly to buffalo, bucking around with short, jerky hops trying to make the player crash.
* **In habitat:** Pegasuses spend most of their time grazing with their heads down. They will occasionally walk around and shake their heads.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** Pegasuses rear up onto their hind legs, unfurling their wings with a flourish.

## Tips

Pegasuses are a very useful starting animal in the game. Their ability to fly briefly allows them to glide over most obstacle and other animals is highly useful as they are pretty much invulnerable in the air, the only danger being overhanging Greek buildings and the low flying phoenixes, which the player must avoid when in mid-air. Pegasuses also move at a slow pace, which is useful at high distances.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - Ride for an extra 2s before a pegasus gets angry
* **Level 2** - Add two new rare pegasuses to the stampede (Peryton, Peglegasus)
* **Level 3** - Energy drains 10% slower in the Olympus
* **Level 4** - Pegasuses glide for 2 seconds longer
* **Level 5** - Add two new rare pegasuses to the stampede (Picarus, Trojan Horse 2.0, unlocks Pegazeus mission)
* **Level 6** - Get bonus coins while bucking on pegasuses
* **Level 7** - While you are in the air, pegasuses move towards your lasso
* **Level 8** - 2x more rare pegasuses the stampede
* **Level 9** - Add a new rare Pegasus to the stampede (Unicorn)

## Notes

* Pegasuses were released on the 18th of August 2017 in version 1.10.0 along with Olympus and the remaining original Olympus species.
* There is an error present in the level 4 pegasus habitat upgrade, in which the 'p' of "pegasuses" should be capitalised.
	+ This was corrected at an unknown date.
Lumbearjack

The **Lumbearjack** is the eighth polar bear in the game. Like all endangered animals it can only be found on random days. Its match can be found on certain random days after the player has tamed it.

## Appearance

The Lumbearjack, like the Polo Bear, is closer to a more conventional brown bear in appearance than a polar bear, owing to its brown fur. It wears a very dark olive beanie, along with a red chequered shirt with rolled-up sleeves. It also wears bright violet denim jeans with a black belt. On its back is an axe with a brown wooden handle and a red blade, and spitting from its behind are yellow translucent shards, reflecting wood chippings.

## Description

*The reason why we don't see any trees in the polar regions.*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Tundra 5.
* Polar Bear 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 1900m 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 1900m.

## Baby Lumbearjack

* Eating animals is 12% more effective
* *Lasso starts 1% larger (passive)*

## Trivia

* The name "Lumbearjack" is a play on the words "lumberjack" and "bear", being based on a typical lumberjack.
	+ The Lumbearjack's description is an allusion to a lumberjack's purpose – to cut down trees.

## Notes

* The Lumbearjack was released in version 1.7.0 on the 23rd of March 2017, along with all other original endangered animals.
* Like most other Tundra descriptions, the description was missing a period at the end.
	+ This was corrected in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March 2018.
* From an unknown date, the Baby Lumbearjack was mistakenly removed from the game.
Pangrose

The **Pangrose** is the fourth type of pangolin in zoo order. It can be found in the stampede when the player upgrades their pangolin habitat to level 5 or higher.

## Appearance

The Pangrose's body replaces the scales of the Pangolin with large vibrant pink petals, the centre of which being maroon and the edges being light pink. Unlike other pangolins, the Pangrose has petals surrounding its head, forming a flower pattern, with its head as the centre. The sections not covered by petals, its face, torso, legs and tail, are coloured light green. When angry, the Pangrose curls up to form a rolling
rose.

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Great Wall 4 or greater.
* Pangolin tamed.
* Pangolin habitat upgraded to level 5 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 Pangrose

* Jump from animals 7% faster
* Mating animals appear 15% more often

## Trivia

* The Pangrose's name is a portmanteau of "pangolin" and "rose", which is reflected in its appearance, especially when angry, where it forms a literal rose.
	+ The description references how roses, like many flowers, have a pleasant smell.
		- This plays off the description of the Pandurian.
	+ The Baby Pangrose's ability "Mating animals appear 15% more often" also reflects the play on a rose, in how roses are the flower typically associated with Valentine's Day, in which partners would gift each other roses.

## Notes

* The Pangrose was released in version 1.24.0 on the 23rd of October 2019 on iOS and the 25th of October on Android, along with all other pangolins, roosters, kirins and VIP animals.
