Winter Holiday Event 2023

The **2023 Winter Holiday Event** was an event that ran from the 15th of December 2023 to the 6th of January 2024.

## About

This event, gameplay wise, was identical to previous Winter Holiday Events and did not include any gameplay changes.

There was still the sub-zone from previous Winter Holiday Events, 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 different types of reindeer, 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.

With  in the exchange, the player could purchase hats and animals from previous events, as well as brand new customisable decorations for their zoo.

Finally, there was also a shop section where players could purchase packs of Candy Canes, Sky Zoo upgrades and hats for Badges.

Sunflower Lion

The **Sunflower Lion** is the fourteenth lion in the game. It was first released as a part of the Dreamy Trip Season 12 event.

## Appearance

The Sunflower Lion is similar to the Lion in appearance, albeit its body slightly lighter in colour tone, and its mane is replaced by sunflower petals, which are yellow and fade to brown at the centre.
Each of its feet have two green petals on both sides of it, and its tail is green like a stem and ends with a small sunflower.

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Savannah 5 or greater.
* Lion tamed.
* Purchase Season 12's Golden Trip.
	+ Given as the 20th reward in the Golden Trip.
* 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 Sunflower Lion is a clear play on a sunflower.
* The description refers to the 'sun' in sunflower, hence why the Sunflower Lion "loves running towards the sun".
* The Sunflower Lion is one of two lions based off of a flower. The latter being the Dande Lion.

## Notes

* The Sunflower Lion was released in version 3.4.0 on the 8th of September 2023.
Species: Kangaroo

**Kangaroos** are the twenty-third species of animal available in the Sky Zoo. Kangaroos are bouncing animals. Altogether, there are 9 different types of kangaroo. They are available from Outback 1.

## Kangaroo

**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:** Kangaroos bound in a forward direction.
* **When ridden:** Kangaroos take a couple of short hops before finding their stride and taking long bounds.
* **When angry:** Kangaroos bounce very high, being immune to fire at level 6.
* **In habitat:** Kangaroos don't hop around in their habitat. Instead, they move in a quadpedal manner, with arms on the ground. They stand upright, occasionally leaning down to scour the ground with their mouths.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** Kangaroos bounce in the air, looking to the left while raising their arms, before performing progressively smaller hops while alternating the direction they look, with hands flopped in front.

## Tips

Kangaroos are difficult to control, which is annoying when there are many obstacles, and they are also not very useful for jumping in water when on fire as they often jump over them. Additionally, they do not give very much . Kangaroos are definitely one of the worst animals in the game, and should only be ridden when absolutely necessary, especially after 2000m. When angry, they are much more useful, being able to leap over obstacles; however, bear in mind that angry kangaroos are also likely to jump over crates and water. It also takes a considerable amount of time for a kangaroo to get angry, during which it is likely that the player will crash. When taming kangaroos, it is essential to travel in as straight a line as possible to avoid losing control and hitting obstacles.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - Kangaroos can turn while hopping
* **Level 2** - Ride for an extra 2s before a kangaroo gets angry
* **Level 3** - Increase hop size of kangaroos (unlocks Kan Guru mission)
* **Level 4** - Gain 50% more ticket money from kangaroos
* **Level 5** - Jump further from kangaroos
* **Level 6** - Immune to fire when angry
* **Level 7** - Get bonus coins while kangaroos are hopping angry
* **Level 8** - 2x more rare kangaroos in the stampede
* **Level 9** - Add a new rare Kangaroo to the stampede (Kangapoodle)

## Notes

* Kangaroos were released in version 1.3.0 on the 13th of October 2016 along with Outback and all other Outback species.
Sydney Operasaurus

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

## Appearance

The Sydney Operasaurus looks mostly identical to the Stegosaurus, although it is now coloured light brown, fading downward to a slightly more pinkish colour. However, its most obvious distinguishing factor is that instead of two adjacent rows of plates, the Sydney Operasaurus, as its name would suggest, has a single row of "shells" inspired by its namesake. There are two smaller "shells" on its tail, facing outwards from each other, to more clearly resemble the building it is based on.

## Description

*It's not over until the fat stegosaurus sings.*

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Jurassic 6 or greater.
* Stegosaurus tamed.
* Stegosaurus habitat upgraded to level 2 or higher.
* Ride past 1150m 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 1150m.

## Baby Sydney Operasaurus

* Taming animals is 10% quicker
* Taming mating animals is 5% quicker

## Trivia

* The Sydney Operasaurus references the Sydney Opera House, a well-known building based in Sydney, Australia.
* The Sydney Operasaurus' description, similar to the Beijing Opera Panda, references the saying "it's not over until the fat lady sings", referring to the structure of many operas.
	+ The Sydney Operasaurus is one of three animals that reference opera, the other two being the Opera Bunny and the Beijing Opera Panda.

## Notes

* The Sydney Operasaurus was released on the 22nd of June 2017 in version 1.9.0 along with all other stegosauruses.
* The Baby Sydney Operasaurus' abilities, along with the remaining stegosauruses', changed version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March. The previous abilities were "Animals get angry 3% slower", "Ridden animals are 6% slower" and "Bucks are 3% smaller".
Sven's Swordfish

The **Sven's Swordfish** is the seventh swordfish in the game. It was first released as a part of the Winter Holiday Event 2022.

Species: Triceratops

**Triceratops** are the third species of animal available in the Jurassic zone, as well as in the Space Zoo. Triceratops are primarily bucking animals, but are also charging animals. There are 10 different types of triceratops. Like all Space Zoo animals, more triceratops are unlocked progressively as the player upgrades the triceratops habitat. They can be unlocked when the player upgrades their ship to Jurassic 1, and can only be found from 1000m onwards.

## Triceratops

**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:** Triceratops trot forward alone or in groups of two, three or four.
* **When ridden:** Triceratops charge like buffalo, with the ability to smash anything except brontosauruses (level 3) then trot a tad faster than normal.
* **When angry:** Triceratops take a couple of short hops before jumping up repeatedly in an attempt to throw the player off.
* **In habitat:** Triceratops walk around, occasionally slightly wiggling their bodies.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** They wiggle like when walking around but faster and for longer.

## Tips

Triceratops have useful abilities in their landing charges, which can smash anything except brontosauruses and volcanic rocks, and, how after level 4, they do not reduce the player's lasso size. Triceratops are a good safety animal as they are invincible to almost anything and their charge allows the player to speed past volcanic rocks just before they land, the player can also jump from triceratops to triceratops to maintain a large lasso size if they have upgraded their triceratops habitat to level 4.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - Ride for an extra 2s before a triceratops gets angry
* **Level 2** - Add two new rare triceratops to the stampede (Triceraclops, Chimeratops)
* **Level 3** - Landing charges on triceratops are 2x longer
* **Level 4** - Landing on a triceratops doesn't reduce your lasso size (unlocks Geisharatops mission)
* **Level 5** - Add two new rare triceratops to the stampede (Skyceratops, Medium-Rare-atops)
* **Level 6** - Get bonus coins while bucking on triceratops
* **Level 7** - Bucks from a triceratops push other animals away
* **Level 8** - 2x more rare triceratops in the stampede
* **Level 9** - Add a new rare Triceratops to the stampede (Knightmaratops)

## Notes

* Triceratops 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, triceratops 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 triceratops from level 0 upon release.
		- This was fixed in version 1.9.0 on the 22nd of June 2017.
* The level 4 upgrade contained a mistake in which "doesn't" lacked an apostrophe (written as 'doesnt').
	+ This was corrected in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March 2018.
T-Wrecks

The **T-Wrecks** is the eighth tyrannosaurus rex that can be befriended in the game. It can be found in the stampede when the player upgrades their tyrannosaurus rex habitat to level 9.

## Appearance

The T-Wrecks is notable for taking the appearance of a robotic version of the Tyrannosaurus Rex. It is completely grey, with variations of tone including dark grey at the top and lighter shades of grey at its nose, underside of tail and feet. Overall, its body maintains an angular structure, with a zig-zag separating its upper and lower jaw, and a tail distinctly made of multiple parts which overlap each other. Its joints for its arms, legs and knees are held together with screws, which have a single indentation running through each. Its hands can also be seen to be replaced by mechanical claws. Extending from its head are two openings which point up and release constant blasts of fire and yellow light. Dark red and black smoke streams blows out from pipes attaches to its leg joints. Finally, its eyes are completely coloured bright red.

*Wrecks cars, trucks, buildings and relationships.*

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Jurassic 2 or greater.
* Tyrannosaurus Rex tamed.
* Tyrannosaurus rex habitat upgraded to level 9.
* Ride past 2200m in Jurassic (must be riding an animal slower than a wild tyrannosaurus rex).

**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.

## Baby T-Wrecks

* Rare animals appear 10% more often
* *Energy drains 2% slower in the Jurassic (passive)*

## Trivia

* The T-Wrecks is a pun on the 'Rex' in 'T-Rex', with 'Rex' and "Wrecks" being homophones. The T-Wrecks's design reflects the theme of wrecking, with a hypothetical mechanical tyrannosaurus likely to cause major destruction.
	+ The T-Wrecks is one of two animals with the word “wreck” in its name, the other being the Wreck-o-saurus.
* The T-Wrecks makes a sound that can be distinguished from other tyrannosaurus rexes, making a mechanical roaring sound.

## Notes

* The T-Wrecks was released in version 1.8.0 on the 18th of May 2017, along with Jurassic and most Jurassic animals.
* The T-Wrecks design changed slightly in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March, where its small flares of yellow light from its front exhaust pipes alternate rather than appearing periodically together.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Sheep move forwards slowly.
* **When ridden:** Sheep speed up only a little bit from their wild pace. At level 6 and above, sheep can push other sheep out of the way.
* **When angry:** Sheep buck jerkily, with small, sharp hops, at a fast speed.
* **In habitat:** Sheep spend most of their time with their heads down, grazing.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** Sheep move their body from side to side, with their legs wobbling like jelly as their trotters remain planted on the ground.

## Tips

Sheep are useful in that they can push other sheep away at level 6, and at level 5, sheep do not reduce lasso size. They are similar to zebras in behaviour, as they can push animals of their own species and buck. A sheep's slow speed while not angry makes them good companions for a short time. They are arguably one of the better animals in Outback.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - Ride for an extra 2s before a sheep gets angry
* **Level 2** - While in the air, sheep move towards your lasso
* **Level 3** - Angry sheep buck less violently
* **Level 4** - Gain 50% more ticket money from sheep

## Trivia

* The Z-Lightning may play on the zig-zag nature of lightning strikes, with the z's of 'zig-zag' relating back to a zebra.
	+ The description references the "darting" nature of lightning, and also describes the appearance of the Z-Lightning.

## Notes

Rarity

**Rarities** are labels provided in-game that define how rare an animal is. They are a mostly consistent reflection of other rarity markers in the game, such as breeding times and XP given, and are the easiest way to tell how rare an animal is. Rarer animals are less frequent in the stampede.

## About

There are 7 rarities, and these can be found just above an animal's photo in the zoo. Listed in order from most common to rarest:

* Common
* Uncommon
* Rare
* Mythic
* Legendary
* Epic
	+ For epic animals mainly and some event animals.
* Special
	+ Special refers to any secret or boss animal, as well as some event animals. Technically it does not fit on the rarity spectrum.

## Animals by Rarities

* Common
* Uncommon
* Rare
* Mythic
* Legendary
* Special
* Epic

## Notes

* Rarities are not always consistent, with animals that are in fact equally rare, such as the Psychedelephant and Jellephant, having different rarities. Additionally, event animals may have "Common", "Rare", "Mythic", "Legendary" or "Special".
Snorkadile

The **Snorkadile** is the third alligator that can be tamed.

## Appearance

The Snorkadile is mostly metallic blue, with shiny blue smooth-looking scales. Its feet feature blue flippers extending from its claws.

Additionally, it wears a single red and beige swimsuit covering only the area just around its hind legs.

## Description

*Always gets the entire beach to itself for some reason. Just lucky I guess.*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Jungle 1 or greater.
* Alligator tamed.
* Ride past 1200m in Jungle (always found beside water).

**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 1200m.

## Baby Snorkadile

* Eating animals is 2% more effective
* Animals are 12% faster in water

## Trivia

* The Snorkadile is a play on a snorkel, which in turn is a reverse play on an alligator's ability to remain submerged underwater for a long time.
* The description plays on an alligator's fear factor.
* The Baby Snorkadile's ability where animals are 12% faster in water references snorkels and in turn swimming in water.
* The Snorkadile is one of several alligators whose name plays on a crocodile, a similar animal which is of the same order as alligators.

Species: Yak

**Yak** are the nineteenth species of animal in the Sky Zoo, as well as the fifth in Mountains. Yaks are primarily smashing animals, but are also bouncing animals. There are 12 different types of yak. They can be found from Mountains 3 onwards.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Yaks move slowly individually.
* **When ridden:** Yaks buck jerkily and at speed (increased at level 6) but can smash animals and trees, and later, anything.
* **When angry:** Yaks throw the player off with a very small jerk.
* **In habitat:** They graze the ground.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** They wiggle their body like jelly.

## Tips

Yaks are useful at high distances due to their ability to smash anything but brontosauruses and Chinese dragons (level 3) and their high speed, allowing the player to ride one for a long distance. To tame yaks, it is difficult at first, but once the player upgrades the habitat to level 3 it becomes much easier as the player does not have to avoid rocks anymore. In the Mountains particularly, they are useful for clearing narrow sections with a large proportion of obstacles.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - 2x more yaks in the stampede
* **Level 2** - Ride an extra 2s before a yak gets angry
* **Level 3** - Allows yaks to smash through rocks
* **Level 4** - Gain 50% more ticket money from yaks
* **Level 5** - Jump further from yaks
* **Level 6** - Increased riding speed on yaks
* **Level 7** - Get bonus coins by smashing obstacles on yaks
* **Level 8** - 2x more rare yaks in the stampede
* **Level 9** - Add a new rare Yak to the stampede (Afro Dizzy Yak)

## Notes

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

The **Mystic Camel** is the eighth camel. Like all endangered animals it can only be found on random days. Its match can then be found on certain random days after the day the player tames it.

## Appearance

The Mystic Camel has a tan coloured head with a black pointed beard stretching from the back of its head right to the front. Its legs are a greyish blue with navy vertical stripes, suggesting pants, and it has brown hooves, possibly representing shoes. Its collar is dark brown with slits, and the sides of its torso has a thick brown stripe running down the length of its body with a zig-zag pattern in the middle of the stripe. A dark green band loosely sits around its hump. On its head is a white turban with grey horizontal bands running around it, and on its back is a grey hexagonal prism which supposedly represents rolled up travelling equipment. The Mystic Camel emits a yellow aura and an upwards-spiralling vortex of shards and coloured balls from its turban.

## Description

*Wanders the desert pondering the mysteries of the universe…*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Outback 4 or greater.
* Camel 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 1600m in Outback.

* The Mystic Camel was originally called the 'Sufi Camel', but was changed to "Mystic Camel" in version 1.8.0 on the 18th of May 2017 for unknown reasons.
	+ The definition of 'Sufism' is a valid explanation of the change in the Mystic Camel's name from 'Sufi Camel'.
Survivor Wolf

The **Survivor Wolf** is the third wolf that can be found in the stampede.

## Appearance

The Survivor Wolf is coloured white, hessian and red. Its main body colour is white, and it has a hessian coloured shaggy mop of fur sitting atop its body.

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Jurassic 4 or greater.

## Trivia

* The Ankylosaurus' appearance and description is based on information collected from fossil and skeletal evidence, however, the colour of the Ankylosaurus is unlikely to be the same as real life ankylosauruses in the past, with the grey colour being chosen to include some colour differences in base animals.
* The Baby Ankylosaurus references the adult's in-game behaviour of hitting the player up high and far with its tail when angry.

## Notes

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

## Trivia

* The Regal Eagle is a rhyming play. The word "regal" means to do with royalty.
	+ The description also contains more rhyming play, with "illegal" rhyming with "regal" and "eagle".
	+ One of the Baby Regal Eagle's abilities, specifically "Missions give 24% more coins", could be a reference to the fact the Regal Eagle is regal and therefore wealthy too.

Species: Dimetrodon

**Dimetrodons** are the ninth species of animal available in the Jurassic zone and the Space Zoo. Dimetrodons are special animals. There are 9 different types of dimetrodon. Like all Space Zoo animals, more dimetrodons are unlocked progressively as the player upgrades the dimetrodon habitat. They can be unlocked when the player upgrades their ship to Jurassic 7, and can only be found from 1000m onwards.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Dimetrodons scamper along the stampede, with their sail determining whether the player can ride on them or not. If the dimetrodon's sail is raised, the dimetrodon will scamper very rapidly and the player will be unable to lasso it. If it is retracted, the dimetrodon will scamper at a slower pace and can be lassoed.
* **When ridden:** Dimetrodons move with great agility at a regular pace.
* **When angry:** Dimetrodons flick the player forward with their tail about 40m.
* **In habitat:** Dimetrodons mostly stand around, occasionally walking around to change position. They will shake their body from side to side every now and then.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** Dimetrodons lift the front of their body and their front legs off the ground.

## Tips

Taming dimetrodons is tricky to begin with, with the player required to be alert and time their jump onto the dimetrodon appropriately. This is made easier when the player upgrades their habitat to level 6, where dimetrodons keep their sail retracted for 2s longer. Dimetrodons are fairly average animals to ride, neither providing long distance carrying nor pace and destructiveness. They become more useful when the player upgrades the dimetrodon habitat to level 7, where the player can conserve their lasso size when they ride dimetrodons. When the player tames dimetrodons before their dimetrodon habitat is upgraded to level 4, they may require a baby animal that makes animals get angry by at least 15% to prevent them from throwing the player off before they are tamed.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - 3x more dimetrodons in the stampede
* **Level 2** - Add two new rare dimetrodons to the stampede (Sea-metrodon, Dimetroccordion)
* **Level 3** - Get bonus coins for landing on dimetrodons
* **Level 4** - Ride for an extra 2s before a dimetrodon gets angry
* **Level 5** - Add two new rare dimetrodons to the stampede (Dime-metrodon, Dimetropunk)
* **Level 6** - Dimetrodons keep their sail retracted for 2s longer
* **Level 7** - Landing on a dimetrodon doesn’t reduce your lasso size
* **Level 8** - 2x more rare dimetrodons the stampede
* **Level 9** - Add a new rare Dimetrodon to the stampede (Candle-labradon)

## Trivia

* Dimetrodons are the only species in Jurassic that did not live during the Mesozoic. In fact, the dimetrodon was not even classified as a type of dinosaur.

## Notes

* Dimetrodons were released later than all other Jurassic species, released in version 1.19.0 on the 16th of August 2018.
Strawbeary

The **Strawbeary** is the second polar bear that can be found in the game.

## Appearance

Its tail can be seen to be the same colour as its nose, and has two rings of leaves sprouting out in different directions from the centre of its backside, with the top layer having four stiff leaves and the bottom layer having seven looser ones. This forms a strawberry top-like appearance. Its claws can be seen to be dark olive.

## Description

*Deliciously sweet and best served with chocolate or ice cream.*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Tundra 5.
* Polar Bear tamed.
* Ride past 1500m in Tundra.

**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 1500m.

## Baby Strawbeary

* Rare animals appear 4% more often
* Eating animals is 10% more effective

## Trivia

* The Strawbeary is a pun on a strawberry, a small, sweet, red fruit notable for having its seeds on the outside of the fruit.
	+ The description reflects this, referencing how strawberries are often eaten dipped in melted chocolate or with ice cream.
	+ The Baby Strawbeary's unusually high boost in effectiveness of eating animals when sidekicked reflects how strawberries are a food, and are eaten.

## Notes

* The Strawbeary was released on the 25th of January 2017 in version 1.5.0, along with Tundra and all other original Tundra animals.
* The description contained several errors upon release. Like most other Tundra descriptions, the description was missing a period at the end, and additionally, the word "ice cream" was written incorrectly as "Ice cream".
	+ The former was corrected in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March 2018.
	+ The latter was corrected in version 1.15.1 on the 19th of April 2018.
