Summer Party

The **Summer Party Event** is a limited time event that started on the 21st of July 2022 and ended on the 10th of August. On Android, it started on the 29th of July 2022 and ended on the 18th of August.

## About

The player could collect starfish () using two ways; either bump into them in the stampede, or complete the tasks in an advent calendar-style daily tasks system, in which the player could complete various goals or missions to earn more . and get exclusive decorations, hats and animals.

There were 3 new animals and 3 new hats, and all the past event animals were available through the  exchange.

## Daily Tasks

* Day 1
* Day 2
* Day 3
* Day 4
* Day 5
* Day 6
* Day 7
* Day 8
* Day 9
* Day 10
* Day 11
* Day 12
* Day 13
* Day 14
* Day 15
* Day 16
* Day 17
* Day 18
* Day 19
* Day 20

## Notes

* In some of the missions, "badges" is incorrectly written as "badge".
* The Caliblow Jack, along with the Caliblow's sailer [*sic*] hat, are the only new things that cannot be purchased in the starfish exchange. Instead, they are found in the Summer Surprise.
White Tiger

The **White Tiger** is the fourth tiger.

## Appearance

The White Tiger, as the name suggests, is mostly white. It has creamy white fur and dark, chocolate brown features, including its ears, nose, feet and the tip of its tail. The White Tiger lacks any stripes across its body.

## Description

*The favourite animal of super villains the world over.*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Jungle 4 or greater.
* Tiger tamed.
* Ride past 2200m 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 2200m.

## Baby White Tiger

* Eating animals is 7% more effective
* *Crates give 2% more coins (passive)*

## Trivia

* White tigers exist in real life, however it is unlikely that the White Tiger references real life white tigers as the appearance compared to those in real life is very different.
* The description plays on how many notorious super villains, particularly in film, own white cats. The tiger is a type of cat.
	+ The Baby White Tiger's ability where missions give 10% more coins may also be a reference to villainy, in that the protagonist is usually required to defeat the villain in a mission.

## Notes

* The White Tiger 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.
* The description contained an error in that "villans" was spelt incorrectly. The correct spelling is 'villains'.
	+ This was corrected in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March 2018.
Species: Pangolin

**Pangolins** are the sixth species of animal available in the Great Wall zone and the thirty-first animal species in the Space Zoo. Pangolins are speeding animals. There are 11 different types of pangolin. Like all Space Zoo animals, more pangolins are unlocked progressively as the player upgrades the pangolin habitat. With the exception of the Pangoalin, which is unlocked at Great Wall 5, they can be unlocked when the player upgrades their ship to Great Wall 4.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Pangolins appear scattered before 1000m, and in greater numbers past 1000m in the stampede.
* **When ridden:** Pangolins continue scuttling along, this time at a faster pace.
* **When angry:** Pangolins jump up, wrap themselves into a ball and roll forwards, taking the shape of whichever object they are based on, identically to pillbugs. They accelerate faster and faster when angry and have poor steering, until upgraded at level 4.
* **In habitat:** Pangolins trot around in the habitat, occasionally swaying their head from side to side or twitching.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** Pangolins bounce their body slightly from side to side.

## Tips

Pangolins, being identical to pillbugs in their behaviour, are okay animals to use. They are serviceable with their abilities such as being able to smash things that the player crashes into when angry (level 6), which makes the player more inclined to use pangolins for longer. They can also act like a running animal, such as an ostrich when upgraded to level 4, being able to transport the player long distances quickly. They offer stability when not angry.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - 3x more pangolins in the stampede
* **Level 2** - Add two new rare pangolins to the stampede (Pineappolin, Echidna)
* **Level 3** - Get bonus coins while travelling at top speed on pangolins
* **Level 4** - Turn faster when riding on rolling pangolins
* **Level 5** - Add two new rare pangolins to the stampede (Pangrose, Bangolin)
* **Level 6** - When rolling, pangolins will throw you clear if you crash into an animal
* **Level 7** - Ride for an extra 2s before a pangolin gets angry
* **Level 8** - 2x more rare pangolins in the stampede
* **Level 9** - Add a new rare Pangolin to the stampede (Crystal Ball)

## Trivia

* The models for pangolins are likely an exact copy of pillbugs. This was supported by how upon release, pangolins had the same sound effects as them.

## Notes

* Pangolins were released in version 1.24.0 on the 23rd of October 2019 on iOS and the 25th of October on Android, along with roosters, kirins and VIP animals.
* Pangolins had their travelling sound modified in version 1.24.1 on the 18th of November 2019 to sound more like a four-legged animal. Previously, they had the same sound effect as a pillbug.
Hurdler Giraffe

The **Hurdler Giraffe** is the fifteenth giraffe in the game.

## Appearance

The Hurdler Giraffe is identical to the Giraffe, albeit instead of a plain body, it wears a green saddle that covers the middle part of its body. The saddle has a large, white "4" embedded on its sides. The Hurdler Giraffe wears a green band on its neck. On its head it also has a green halter with two pom poms on its ossicones (giraffe horns). Finally, it is wearing some shoes with the same green colour.

## Description

*Is a good choice to fly past your competitors right before the finish line!*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Savannah 3 or greater.
* Giraffe tamed.
* Purchase for 30  in the PvP store in The Stampede.
* Once obtained, ride past 1800m in Savannah.

**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.

## Trivia

* The Hurdler Giraffe's description alludes to the fact that in-game giraffes hurl you a great distance when you lift your finger off the screen.

## Notes

* The Hurdler Giraffe was released in version 2.12.0 on the 6th of December 2022.

Skynoceros

The **Skynoceros** is the fifth rhino in the game.

## Appearance

The Skynoceros appears very similar to the Rhino, albeit with a few differences. Its entire body is coloured grey-blue, compared to just grey, and it has moderately large, white wings on its back. Its lower jaw is coloured light grey. The Skynoceros' horn has purple and muted magenta stripes, with a gold and brown ball patterned in a spiral on the tip.

## Description

*Unfortunately these wings don't provide quite enough lift for takeoff.*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Jungle 3 or greater.
* Rhino tamed.
* Ride past 1600m in Jungle.

**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 Skynoceros

* Jump from animals 10% higher
* Crates give 16% more coins

## Trivia

* The Skynoceros is a play on the sky, with 'sky' rhyming from the 'rhi' of 'rhinoceros'.
	+ The Baby Skynoceros' ability where the player jumps higher reflects the sky theme, alluding to how the sky is, quite literally, something that is 'high'.
* The description plays on a rhinoceros' massive size and weight, being likely to inhibit flight even with the presence of wings.
* The Skynoceros is one of two animals having a sky theme, the other being the Skyceratops.

## Notes

* The Skynoceros 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.
* The Skynoceros' name was one of two rhinos with the '-ceros' suffix being spelt with a 'u' instead.
	+ This was fixed in version 1.12.1 on the 14th of November 2017.
Vulture Capitalist

The **Vulture Capitalist** is the fourth vulture that the player can obtain.

## Appearance

The Vulture Capitalist has an Uncle Sam-like appearance, with a pale pink head, a bright red beak, dark blue lower wings and upper back, black wings and light grey wingtips. It has red and white striped legs as well as a red and white striped tail, and its feet are a combination of light grey and dark blue. Its most prominent feature, though, is its hat, which has a square, white base, a vertical red and white stripe pattern on each side, a light blue band with small white squares on each face around the base and a red top.

## Description

*"Why is nobody thanking me for saving these dying companies?"*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Savannah 4 or greater.
* Vulture tamed.
* Ride past 1500m in Savannah (always found perched on rocks).

**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.

## Baby Vulture Capitalist

* Crates give 18% more coins
* Missions give 6% more coins

## Trivia

* The Vulture Capitalist's appearance is based on Uncle Sam, the iconic American figure representing business in the United States.
* Its name is based on venture capitalism, where money is invested in a company or business which is small or cannot sufficiently fund itself in the hope that it will grow and make profit to the funder.
	+ Its description is also based on venture capitalism.
		- The Baby Vulture Capitalist's abilities which increase coin production also reference venture capitalism.

## Notes

* The Vulture Capitalist was released in the original release, version 1.0.0, on the 22nd of June 2016, along with Savannah and all other original Savannah animals, Jungle and all original Jungle animals, and the Sky Zoo.
* The Vulture Capitalist was available in the soft launch, however, its name was misspelled as "vulture captialist" in 0.1.0 and "Vulture Captialist" in 0.2.0.
	+ At an unknown date, the Vulture Capitalist was reverted incorrectly to "Vulture Captialist".
		- This was fixed again at an unknown date.
Super Bonus

The **Super Bonus** was a purchase-based rewards scheme introduced in version 1.29.3.

## About

The Super Bonus rewarded the player for purchasing items in game. In the first round, any purchase (involving real money) on the 27th or 28th of March 2021 (UTC time) would result in the player receiving 2 exclusive hats that cannot be obtained in any other way: the Showman and Show Queen. Later, a purchase minimum was added (varies for different countries). Spending a certain amount of money in a single order would allow the player to receive exclusive decorations.
Species: Dragonfly

**Dragonflies** are the fifth species of animal available in the Garden, and the twenty-second in the Space Zoo. Dragonflies are flying animals. There are 9 different types of dragonfly. Like all Space Zoo animals, more dragonflies are unlocked progressively as the player upgrades the dragonfly habitat. They can be unlocked when the player upgrades their ship to Garden 3.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Dragonflies appear flying above the stampede, pausing every so often.
* **When ridden:** Dragonflies fly at a quick rate, with their wings vibrating rapidly.
* **When angry:** Dragonflies swoop low to the ground, each time rising high enough to clear animals and small rocks.
* **In habitat:** Dragonflies stand and walk around with wings folded upwards. They will occasionally twitch their wings and scratch their face with their front legs.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** Dragonflies flutter just above the ground for a short moment.

## Tips

Taming dragonflies is difficult at first due to the frequent, irregularly timed pauses. To lasso dragonflies, it is important to come directly from behind and expect to have to lasso earlier than previously expected. Dragonflies can be seen to be the best long distance animal in Garden, with very good agility, small size and low ground time. Its swooping can clear small rocks and animals, making it easy to traverse through tight spaces, while its speed means that the player can travel very far very quickly. The player is also unable to trigger the release of spiders when riding dragonflies.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - 2x more dragonflies in the stampede
* **Level 2** - Add two new rare dragonflies to the stampede (Sympetrum, Damselfly)
* **Level 3** - Jumping from a dragonfly temporarily increases lasso size by 20%
* **Level 4** - Ride for an extra 1.5s before a dragonfly gets angry
* **Level 5** - Add two new rare dragonflies to the stampede (Dragonwhy, Dragonfruit Fly)
* **Level 6** - Dragonflies pause less often, and their swoops take longer to reach max speed
* **Level 7** - Get bonus coins for swooping on dragonflies
* **Level 8** - 2x more rare dragonflies in the stampede
* **Level 9** - Add a new rare Dragonfly to the stampede (Dragonboat Fly)

## Notes

* Dragonflies were released in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March 2018 along with Garden and other original Garden species.
Stegosawrus

The **Stegosawrus** is the sixth type of stegosaurus. It is a secret animal, requiring the player to complete a hidden mission to find and then befriend it.

## Appearance

The Stegosawrus is coloured a blue or cool indigo colour on its body, and has a casing on its back and tail coloured with a yellow and black thick zig-zag pattern. A yellow hard hat sits on top of its head, and square goggles with thick lenses and a large reddish orange part behind it covering its eyes. On its back are circular saw blades with red centres which whirl forwards. Cutting through its tail horizontally is another saw blade, which rotates clockwise.

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Jurassic 6 or greater.
* Stegosaurus tamed.
* Eat 9 shrubs while riding a single stegosaurus in Jurassic.
	+ It is easier to do this if the player uses a continue or a revive while still riding that stegosaurus, as the amount of shrubs eaten rolls over with the continue, for example, if the player eats 6 shrubs before they are thrown off, they can use a continue or a revive and eat 3 shrubs to make the Stegosawrus appear.

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

## Baby Stegosawrus

* Ridden animals are 6% faster
* Jump from animals 12% faster

## Trivia

* The Stegosawrus is a pun, with 'saw' replacing the 'sau' of 'stegosaurus'. The appearance reflects this.
* The description plays on the Julius Caesar quote 'I came, I saw, I conquered'.[1]
* The Stegosawrus is one of the two animals that reference Julius Caesar's quote "I came, I saw, I conquered" in its description, the other being the Emperor Penguin.

## Notes

* The Stegosawrus was released on the 22nd of June 2017 in version 1.9.0 along with all other stegosauruses.
* The Baby Stegosawrus' abilities, along with the remaining stegosauruses', changed version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March. The previous abilities were "Lasso starts 9% larger", "Lasso shrinks 9% slower" and "Animals get angry 9% slower".
* The Stegosawrus's XP changed in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March. The original XP value was 12.
* The Stegosawrus is the only stegosaurus that can spawn before 1000m.
Species: Eagle

**Eagles** are the twentieth species of animal in the game. Eagles are flying animals. Altogether, there are 10 different types of eagle. They can be found from Mountains 4 onward.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Eagles can be found perched on tall rocks in the centre before 700m (Bald Eagle and Knight Hawk only) or perched on rocks to the side of cliffs.
* **When ridden:** Eagles fly majestically with smooth wing flaps.
* **When angry:** Eagles glide towards the ground, before swooping back to its original height, and swooping down repeatedly, always returning to its original height.
* **In habitat:** They walk around with their wings folded, occasionally making a small movement with their head and then spreading their wings out wide.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** They flap their wings twice.

## Tips

Taming new eagles, particularly rare ones at long distance, is possibly the hardest part of the game. It is imperative to be alert around cliff areas for anything that could appear. Alternatively, the player can jump onto any eagle and use the eagle to fly over the rocky areas to scout for new eagles with a better view. Some players have also used a tedious, yet effective, method in which they use the photo button to pan around and view the landscape, looking for eagles and where they are, doing so every few seconds, which prevents them from missing eagles. Eagles are good distance animals in Mountains and also provide a handy coin bonus in their swoops approximately per 1.5 swoops when angry and their ability for crates to be worth 5x more (level 5).

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - 2x more eagles in the stampede
* **Level 2** - Ride for an extra 1s before an eagle gets angry
* **Level 3** - Swooping eagles fly steady for longer
* **Level 4** - Gain 50% more ticket money from eagles
* **Level 5** - While riding an eagle, crates are worth 5x more
* **Level 6** - Ride for an extra 1s before an eagle gets angry
* **Level 7** - Get bonus coins for swooping on eagles
* **Level 8** - 2x more rare eagles in the stampede
* **Level 9** - Add a new rare Eagle to the stampede (Flight Attendant)

## Notes

* Eagles were released in version 1.1.0 on the 26th of July 2016 along with Mountains and all other Mountains species.
* The eagles appear to be based more so on large birds or flying animals rather than strictly just eagles.
* Owls and gorillas are the only animals that can smash eagles, but it requires perfect timing of when the owl swoops just over the rock the eagle is perched on.
	+ If the player attempts to smash eagles using any other animal, it will be counted as if they smashed a rock.
Volture

The **Volture** is the eighth vulture in the game, and like all other endangered animals, it can only be found on certain random single days only. Its match can then be found on random days after the player tames it.

## Appearance

The Volture is coloured completely yellow bar its beak, feet, legs and decorative extras on the back of its wings. It has spiky yellow hair in the shape of lightning bolts on its head, as well as spiky wingtip feathers, also in the shape of bolts of lightning. Its beak is a creamy pink colour, with the tip of its beak being a lighter chocolate colour. Its feet are the same colour as the tip of its beak, and its legs are the same colour as the base of its beak. Its back is decorated with two black boxes with 3 power cables, coloured blue, white and red from front to back, connected in the middle by a large battery in which the player sits on when riding the Volture. It can easily be distinguished by the yellow rays bursting from its body and the lightning bolts flying out of the air just above it.

## Description

*This high voltage bird has a lot of potential. Keep out of water.*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Savannah 5 or greater.
* Vulture 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 1000m in Savannah (always found perched on rocks).
* 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 1000m.

## Baby Volture

* Jump from animals 7% higher
* Animals are 10% faster in water

## Trivia

* The Volture is a play on volts or voltage, hence its appearance and auras.
	+ The description is a dual reference to electric potential and how water must not come into contact with electricity.
* The Volture has been popularly compared to Zapdos, a legendary Pokémon from the Pokémon series, although this is likely to have been unintentional.
* The Baby Volture's ability where animals are 10% faster in water references how impure water is a very good conductor of electricity.

## Notes

* The Volture was released in version 1.7.0 on the 23rd of March 2017 along with all other original endangered animals.
Sushi Bug

The **Sushi Bug** is the sixth pillbug in the game. It is a boss animal, meaning that the player must complete a minigame in order to be able to find it in the stampede permanently.

## Appearance

The Sushi Bug is shaped like a rounded cuboid, which is navy blue on top and cream white at the bottom, with wavy sections of green and orange. Its legs and antennae can be seen to be orange too. When angry, the Sushi Bug curls up into a sushi roll shape.

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Garden 2 or greater.
* Pillbug tamed.
* Pillbug habitat upgraded to level 5 or higher.
* Unlock (see how to unlock boss mission here) and complete Sushi Bug boss mission (tips for completion are below). From here it can be found in Garden permanently.
* To be found in the stampede: Ride past 1600m in Garden.

**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.

## Tips for Boss Mission

The Sushi Bug boss mission, involving the player riding an angry Sushi Bug on a wall-less section of Garden with very few obstacles, is quite simple, with the only major thing that the player must watch for being the angry Sushi Bug's poor steering.

## Baby Sushi Bug

* Jump from animals 6% faster
* Eating animals is 12% more effective

## Trivia

* The Sushi Bug is based off sushi, a Japanese dish made out of seafood, fruits and vegetables. It is stereotypically made with vegetables coated in rice, which is rolled in a piece of seaweed and cut, as it appears when angry.
	+ The description references another Japanese dish, chicken katsu, in the form of a pun for the word 'catch'.
	+ The Baby Sushi Bug's ability where eating animals is 12% more effective reflects the Japanese dish theme.

## Notes

* The Sushi Bug was released in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March 2018 along with Garden and the first five Garden species.
* The Sushi Bug was designed by Tina Belcher, a Rodeo Stampede fan, in the Insect Contest. The post is here.

Tigermoth

The **Tigermoth** is the eighth tiger that can be found in the game. Like all other endangered animals, it can only be found on certain random days. Its match can then be found and tamed on certain random days after the player has tamed it.

## Appearance

The Tigermoth is coloured a fuller orange than the Tiger, being closer to red. Its head features two antennae which are black, bent at the top and have a round ball on the end. Most strikingly, the Tigermoth has a pair of wings. They have black outlines around sections coloured beige, white and cyan. From its wings it releases diamond-shaped beige and cyan sparkles with inward-curving edges.

## Description

*Don't leave the lights on when you go camping...*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Jungle 4 or greater.
* Tiger 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 1800m in Jungle.
* 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 1800m.

## Baby Tigermoth

* Eating animals is 10% more effective
* *Animals get angry 1% slower (passive)*

## Trivia

* The Tigermoth is a play on a real life garden tiger moth, a type of moth, as opposed to a tiger moth plane, a popular recreational aeroplane.
	+ The description supports the moth reference, playing on how moths are attracted to lights as well as the predatory characteristics of tigers.

## Notes

* The Tigermoth was released in version 1.7.0 on the 23rd of March 2017 along with all other original endangered animals.
Stingasaurus

The **Stingasaurus** is the third ankylosaurus obtainable in the game.

## Appearance

The Stingasaurus uses the appearance of the Ankylosaurus as a base, but has a number of differences. The top side is coloured a light burgundy, with horizontal stripes of slightly darker shade, and the bottom side is coloured a dark burgundy, fading to a solid dark red in some areas. Its spikes are the same darker gradient. The tail has been changed to resemble a giant stinger. Finally, its feet are pincer-like objects, instead of claw-like as is the case with most other ankylosauruses. These features give the Stingasaurus an appearance somewhat reminiscent of a scorpion.

## Description

*Primitive cousin to today's highly evolved arachnids.*

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Jurassic 4 or greater.
* Ankylosaurus tamed.
* Ride past 750m in Jurassic.

**Note:** Its chance of appearing is medium due to it being a tier 3 animal. It will appear in just over half the runs the player does, and never before 750m.

## Trivia

* The name "Stingasaurus" is a portmanteau of the words "sting" and "ankylosaurus".
* The Stingasaurus' description references its relation to scorpions and other arachnids, although these modern-day animals are far more recent, and more "highly evolved", having more time to evolve into their current form.

## Notes

* The Stingasaurus was released in version 1.8.0 on the 18th of May 2017, along with Jurassic and most Jurassic animals.
Tundra 3

**Tundra 3** is the twenty-third area unlocked in the Sky Zoo, and the third in Tundra. There are requirements that must be met before the player can unlock it.

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Tundra 2
* Upgrade walrus habitat to level 2
* Complete 30 missions
* Pay 85,000

## What is Unlocked

* Owls and their respective habitat
* Great Wall 1
Species: Crane

**Cranes** are the fifth species of animal available in the Great Wall zone and the thirtieth animal species in the Space Zoo. Cranes are flying animals. There are 10 different types of crane. Like all Space Zoo animals, more cranes are unlocked progressively as the player upgrades the crane habitat. They can be unlocked when the player upgrades their ship to Great Wall 3.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Cranes appear flying over the stampede.
* **When ridden:** Cranes fly in the air, being able to avoid all ground level obstacles but not arches against the walls, central rocks or flagpoles along the wall edges.
* **When angry:** Cranes swoop down, with their swoop pattern consisting of an equal time in the air and swooping along the ground. They are harder to steer, with a delay being present when the player attempts to turn.
* **In habitat:** Cranes strut around, occasionally twitching their head and pecking the ground to their right.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** Cranes flap their wings rapidly twice.

## Tips

Cranes, like all other flying animals, have the ability to fly over the stampede unaffected for a period of time. Cranes in particular can be ridden for quite a long time in the air. However, in Great Wall, there are several obstacles, including central buildings, stairs to watch towers and flagpoles, that the player must watch out for as flying animals can still crash into those when flying. Additionally, when diving, the player has less control over the crane's steering, which makes cranes difficult to use.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - 2x more cranes in the stampede
* **Level 2** - Add two new rare cranes to the stampede (Flame-mingo, Pelicrane)
* **Level 3** - Jumping from a crane temporarily increases lasso size by 25%
* **Level 4** - Ride for an extra 2s before a crane gets angry
* **Level 5** - Add two new rare cranes to the stampede (Flapping Fiesta, Construction Crane)
* **Level 6** - Get bonus coins for swooping on cranes
* **Level 7** - More control when cranes are diving
* **Level 8** - 2x more rare cranes in the stampede
* **Level 9** - Add a new rare Crane to the stampede (Vacation Crane)

## Notes

* Cranes were released on the 28th of January 2019 in version 1.22.0 along with Great Wall and the remaining original Great Wall species.
Shellebration

## Appearance

The Shellebration has a completely gold body, with a lustrous gold flippers and head and a shell that has a matte texture, coloured a dark gold to beige gradient from back to front. Its head features accessories composing of a blue and cyan striped party hat, a red party horn in its mouth and white shutter shades sitting atop its nose. The Shellebration also releases rays of yellow light from its shell and miscellaneous sizes and colours of square pieces of confetti streaming out, also from its shell.

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Olympus 5 or greater.
* Giant Turtle tamed.
* Turtle habitat upgraded to level 9.
* Ride past 1500m in Olympus.

**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 Shellebration

* Crates give 30% more coins
* Taming mating animals is 20% quicker

## Trivia

* The Shellebration is a pun on the word celebration.
	+ The description is a reference to the song 'Celebration' by Kool & The Gang, which supports the name.
	+ The Baby Shellebration's ability of crates giving 30% more coins also reflects the celebratory theme, with extra income being a reason for celebration.

## Notes

* The Shellebration was released on the 17th of September 2017 in version 1.11.0 along with dragons, other turtles and hydras.
Taoist Crane

The **Taoist Crane** is the tenth crane in the game. It was first released as a part of the Dreamy Trip Season 6 event.

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Great Wall 3 or greater.

Stymphalian Bird

The **Stymphalian Bird** is the third phoenix in the game.

## Appearance

While the Stymphalian Bird retains the same general structure as the Phoenix although it is otherwise drastically different in appearance. Its "wings" are actually a set of bronze sheets spread out in a fan-like array. Around the base of the wings are an amalgam of bronze sheets and cogs. Its head is attached via a square object that is horizontally jagged along its faces, sans the front and back. The head itself has three bronze bars fanned out, mounted on a square on the top of its head. Finally, its eyes have been replaced by bronze squares.

## Description

*These birds never quite moved on from the bronze age.*

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Olympus 3 or greater.
* Phoenix tamed.
* Ride past 750m in Olympus.

* Fire burns 12% slower

## Trivia

* The Stymphalian Bird is a reference in name and description to the stymphalian bird, a legendary creature from Ancient Greek mythology.

Species: Bear

**Bears**, not to be confused with polar bears, are the seventeenth species of animal in the Sky Zoo, and possibly the first that the player finds and befriends in Mountains. Bears are eating animals. There are 11 different types of bear. They can be found from Mountains 1 onwards, excluding the SU-24 Bearoplane, which can be found from Mountains 4 onwards.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Bears move slowly individually.
* **When ridden:** Bears still move slowly, but speed up as they become less satisfied.
* **When angry:** Bears slow down dramatically to a halt before bucking the player up and eating them.
* **In habitat:** They stay curled up in the position as if it ate the player, occasionally yawning.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** They go on all fours in lunge position and roar.

## Tips

Despite their ability to not only eat all animals at level 6, but to also smash trees, bears are probably not an animal that can be relied on early on in the stampede. Bears' extremely slow speed hinder its other abilities, making it difficult to stay on a single bear for a long time due to its difficulty in chasing down animals to stay happy. Later on in the stampede, however, bears are more useful as the faster speed means that bears are good for control, and they are capable of smashing trees, which makes them very useful.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - 3x more bears in the stampede
* **Level 2** - Increased riding speed on bears
* **Level 3** - Allows bears to eat other bears
* **Level 4** - Gain 50% more ticket money from bears
* **Level 5** - Eating animals keeps bears happy for longer
* **Level 6** - Allows bears to eat anything
* **Level 7** - Get bonus coins for eating other animals on bears
* **Level 8** - 2x more rare bears in the stampede
* **Level 9** - Add a new rare Bear to the stampede (TIME LOCKER BEAR)

## Notes

* Bears were released in version 1.1.0 on the 26th of July 2016 along with Mountains and all other Mountains species.
Slimenoceros

The **Slimenoceros** is the eighth rhino that can be found. It was released for Halloween in 2016.

## Appearance

The Slimenoceros' body is completely made out of slime. It has fluorescent green snot coming out of the right side of its nose, and is covered in more fluorescent green slime on top. Its feet are a bright green, fading into the darkish green found everywhere else on its body.

## Description

*Has a runny nose. Its sneeze could level a city block.*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Jungle 3 or greater.
* Rhino tamed.
* Ride 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.

## Trivia

* The Slimenoceros is an obvious play on slime.
* The description plays on a rhino's strength in the part which says that the Slimenoceros could "level a city block" with its sneeze.

## Notes

* The Slimenoceros was released in version 1.3.1 on the 20th of October 2016 as part of the 2016 Halloween update as a permanent add-on.
* The Slimenoceros had an error in its name. The suffix "ceros" was spelt incorrectly with an "u" in the suffix.
	+ This was fixed in version 1.12.1 on the 14th of November 2017.
* The description contained an error in that "it's" should have been spelt as "its".
	+ This was corrected in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March 2018.
Species: Hydra

**Hydras** are the eighth species of animal available in the Olympus island, and the seventeenth in the Space Zoo. Hydras are wobbling animals. There are 10 different types of hydra. Like all Space Zoo animals, more hydras are unlocked progressively as the player upgrades the hydra habitat. They can be unlocked when the player upgrades their ship to Olympus 6.

## Hydras

**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:** Hydras are found slithering on the ground individually, with a side-to-side, wave-like movement.
* **When ridden:** Hydras move similarly to wild hydras when ridden, and do not slow down in water. They are able to smash any small animals.
* **When angry:** Hydras speed up slightly, and their side-to-side slithering movement becomes gradually wider, making it very difficult for the player to steer and determine their jump direction. As the player rides them for longer, their heads lift up further off the ground.
* **In habitat:** Hydras slither around with heads slightly raised. They will occasionally perch their head higher and look from side to side.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** Hydras raise their heads further, waving them from side to side, while vigorously shaking their tails.

## Tips

Hydras offer control in water and good agility when not angry. They have a lot of weaknesses though, being liable to being burned by lightning due to their length and not being able to smash minotaurs, dragons and other hydras. When angry, they become virtually uncontrollable and impossible to jump off without dying or latching onto another animal luckily.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - 2x more hydras in the stampede
* **Level 2** - Add two new rare hydras to the stampede (Naga, Amphisbaena)
* **Level 3** - Energy drains 10% slower in the Olympus
* **Level 4** - Angry hydras accelerate slower
* **Level 5** - Add two new rare hydras to the stampede (Ladon, Basilisk, unlocks Cerastes mission)
* **Level 6** - Ride for an extra 1.5s before a hydra gets angry
* **Level 7** - Get bonus coins while travelling at top speed on hydras
* **Level 8** - 2x more rare hydras the stampede
* **Level 9** - Add a new rare Hydra to the stampede (Jörmungandr)

## Notes

* Hydras were released on the 17th of September 2017 in version 1.11.0 along with dragons and turtles.
* All hydras are based on mythical serpents from different cultures around the world.
Y Ddraig Goch

The **Y Ddraig Goch** is the fourth dragon in the game. It can be found in the stampede when the player upgrades their dragon habitat to level 5 or higher.

## Appearance

The Y Ddraig Goch closely resembles the Dragon, although there are a few distinguishing factors. It completely lacks webbed crests, now having a pair of small ears where the top one should be. Instead, its lower jaw now has a spiky texture, resembling a beard. There are three small spikes along the upper half of its back. Finally, the Y Ddraig Goch is coloured dark red, with red accents.

Winter Holiday Event 2018

The **2018 Winter Holiday Event** was a limited time event in the game that occurred from the 5th of December 2018 on Android and the 12th of December 2018 on iOS, to the 4th of January 2019.

## About

This event, gameplay wise, was identical to the 2016 and 2017 Winter Holiday Events and did not include any gameplay changes. Instead, a sub-zone was added, which was separate from regular gameplay. The sub-zone was identical to Mountains although certain graphical elements were changed, with Christmas styled obstacles. The music was also an arrangement of the Mountains theme.

On the sub-zone, the player had to ride many types of reindeer with different behaviours, in which some carried sleds, to collect presents (). The player was required to ride a reindeer for an extended period of time if it carried a sled to be granted . There were 3 different sleds that could be ridden. The brown sled rewarded the player with 3, the purple sled rewarded 6 and the golden sled rewarded 12. Alternatively, the player could collect bouncing Santa sacks with presents in them to collect 1-3. The player could save up presents to trade them in for animals and hats. The outfits and animals from last year were obtainable again, and 3 new outfits were added, however there were no new animals.

Additionally, there were added Christmas decorations in the Sky Zoo.

While these hats and animals have expired, the player can obtain them in the future events.

## Animals

 Reindeer in Training | Moose | Mountains 5 | 200

## Notes

* The 2018 Winter Holiday Event saw several things missed by the developers to remove for the sub-zone gameplay.
	+ The player was able to take photos when riding reindeer in the sub-zone, as if they were replacing their animal photo with any other animal. This was not possible in previous years. However, the photos could not be found anywhere as the reindeer do not have a habitat in the zoos.
	+ The player was able to find and tame the SU-24 Bearoplane by riding an eagle for 2000m, as well as the Gearpunk Yak by smashing 10 animals on a yak, like the usual secret missions. This suggests the sub-zone is identical to Mountains, with some design changes and animals being replaced by reindeer instead.
		- It is uncertain whether players were able to do this in previous years.
Techbra

The **Techbra** is the twelfth zebra in the game. It was first released as a Lucky Wheel reward.

## Appearance

The Techbra, identical to the Zebra, is white with black stripes. Some stripes, however, have a thicker edge, suggesting a tech theme. There are golden gears around each of its eyes, where each leg meets its body, and on the underside of its neck. The Techbra also has a black mohawk or mane, and its nose is black with cyan nostrils. It has two sets of wings that begin with a blue screen displaying an ECG and terminate in a white wingtip that has a cyan stripe. Its tail is black, ending with a white tuft.

## Description

*A zebra running in the sky is no longer a fantasy here.*

## Requirements

* Zebra tamed.
* Obtain randomly as a reward in the Lucky Wheel.
	+ Can be also obtained by reaching a total of 50 Luck Points in the Lucky Wheel.
* Once obtained, ride past 2000m in Savannah.

**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 2000m.

## Trivia

* The name "Techbra" is a portmanteau of the words "tech" and "zebra".
* Its theme appears to be related to the Techlephant and the Cyberstrich, as all three seem to imply a tech theme, and were released at about the same time.
* The Techbra was released with an affiliated hat, the Medic.

## Notes

* The Techbra was released in version 1.53.1 on the 13th of January 2022 as part of the Lucky Wheel rewards.
Wombaby

The **Wombaby** is the fourth wombat evident in the stampede.

## Appearance

The Wombaby has peach coloured fur, and has a white and pink striped bonnet around its head. Covering its pink nose is a mint green dummy (pacifier) with a turquoise ring. Its legs are coloured light beige, and a white nappy covers its backside.

## Description

*Some adult wombats never outgrow their adorable baby cuteness, and milk it for all it's worth.*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Outback 2 or greater.
* Wombat tamed.
* Ride past 1300m in Outback.

**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 1300m.

## Baby Wombaby

* Jump from animals 6% faster
* Mating animals appear 14% more often

## Trivia

* The Wombaby is a play on a baby, with the name being a portmanteau of 'wombat' and 'baby'. The description plays on this.
	+ The description relates a baby's cuteness with a wombat's, and also references how babies receive special treatment due to being cute.
	+ The Baby Wombaby's ability where mating animals appear 14% more often also reflects this, as babies are a result of mating.

## Notes

* The Wombaby was released in version 1.3.0 on the 13th of October 2016 along with Outback and all other Outback species.
