It also covers the back two legs. In the middle of the Triceracops' body (and front two legs) is a blue shirt acting like a cop's blue jacket, with the badge on the leg of the dinosaur. It has two lights which are coloured red (left) and blue (right) and just below the lights are two little holders that holds either a pistol or a taser. Its headpiece is also a plain black, acting like a police hat, with a shiny badge located in the centre of it.

## Requirements

* Jurassic 1 unlocked.
* Triceratops tamed.
* Ride past 1300m in Jurassic.

* Ridden animals are 6% slower
* Bucks are 3% smaller

## Trivia

## Baby Steampede

* Ridden animals are 15% faster
* Eating animals is 5% more effective

## Trivia

* The Steampede is based on a steam locomotive.
	+ The description is a pun on the term "leg of a journey", meaning a part or section of a journey, usually used to describe train trips. This is a pun on a centipede's many legs.
	+ The name is likely to have derived from the earlier pun on Stampede, the tier 2 centipede.
* The Baby Steampede's ability where ridden animals are 15% faster is a reference to a train's speed.

## Notes

* The Steampede was released in version 1.16.0 on the 8th of May 2018 on Android and on the 10th of May 2018 on iOS, along with beetles, all other centipedes and butterflies.

It also wears a helmet which is gold in colour and has a mohawk of red feathers, which represents a Spartan helmet, and a red and gold saddle. Lastly, the Trojan Zebra has a tail which is coloured similarly to its lower legs and upper body and has a black tip.

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Savannah 4 or greater.
	+ It is in Savannah 4 because an epic or VIP animal can make up the seven required animals.
* Ride seven different animal species uninterrupted in a row in Savannah.
	+ The player can start on any animal from any zone, including epic and VIP animals, and the starting animal is included as part of the seven animals. A tip is to start as a rarer animal (e.g. a vulture) and stay on it until a rarer animal which cannot be ridden infinitely is found (e.g. an elephant), before jumping on the remaining animal species.
		- Seven different animal species in a row means no two animals can be of the same species e.g. it doesn’t work if the player rides a Cape Buffalo and a Forest Buffalo as part of the seven.

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

## Baby Trojan Zebra

* Mating animals appear 8% more often
* Taming mating animals is 5% quicker

## Trivia

* The Trojan Zebra is a reference to the Trojan Horse, a large wooden horse constructed by the Spartans to conceal 40 men from the Greek mythological story 'The Trojan War'.
	+ The Trojan Zebra's affiliated description also references the Trojan War, where the Greeks waged war against the Trojans due to the queen of Sparta being lured away by a member of the Trojan royal family.

## Notes

1. ↑ The Trojan Zebra can only be found from Savannah 4 if the player begins on an epic or VIP animal.

Species: Horse

**Horses** are the first species of animal available in the Great Wall zone and the twenty-sixth animal species in the Space Zoo. Horses are bucking animals. There are 9 different types of horses. Like all Space Zoo animals, more horses are unlocked progressively as the player upgrades the horse habitat. They can be unlocked when the player upgrades their ship to Great Wall 1.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** They move relatively slowly in packs, being greater in numbers before 1000m.
* **When ridden:** Horses move at a steady pace.
* **When angry:** Horses gallop jerkily at a quick rate.
* **In habitat:** Horses walk around, but spend most of their time with their head down, grazing. Occasionally, they'll shake their heads, and return to grazing.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** Horses rear up onto their hind legs and neigh, with front legs in the air.

## Tips

Horses are a steady animal when not angry, and can assist the player by moving towards their lasso when the player is in the air (level 7). They can be used especially when the player is in trouble past 2000m. However, horses are difficult to control when angry, and get angry quickly, so the player needs to be careful or jump to another animal quite quickly. Angry horses are fast enough to run past arrows before they land though.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - Ride for an extra 2s before a horse gets angry
* **Level 2** - Add two new rare horses to the stampede (Trojan Horse, War Horse)
* **Level 3** - Get bonus coins while bucking on horses

Around its neck is a collar that has a light blue band and a diamond tag, with a thin gold border and a highlighted blue centre.

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Outback 1 or greater.
* Red Kangaroo tamed.
* Ride past 2200m in Outback.

**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 Skibby Dippy Doo

* Bucks are 12% smaller

## Trivia

* The Skibby Dippy Doo is a reference to Scooby-Doo.

	+ The description also plays on classic Scooby-Doo catchphrases, specifically the phrase "Want a Scooby snack?" and his habit of replacing consonants with "r".
	+ The Skibby Dippy Doo may also be a reference to the eponymous kangaroo from the television series, Skippy the Bush Kangaroo, as 'Skibby' sounds like 'Skippy'.

## Notes

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

The **Volcamelno** is the fourth camel in the stampede.

## Appearance

Although the Volcamelno's body shape is similar to the Camel's, its colouration is very different. It has orange to red volcano peaks in place of its regular humps, and additional colouring across the board, such as the body being split into "sections" that correspond to various sections of an actual volcano. These sections differ on the two sides. On the right, underneath a layer of orange, is brown, possibly representing volcanic soil, followed by beige, which could be sandstone, and then orange-brown, and bright red on the feet, with is likely the upper mantle. The left side does not have a layer of sandstone.

## Description

*A stone cold camel with a red hot hump. Keep it cool or it may blow its top!*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Outback 4 or greater.
* Camel tamed.
* Ride past 1800m 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 1800m.

## Trivia

* The name "Volcamelno" is a portmanteau of the words "volcano" and "camel".
	+ This is supported by the description, which is a pun on "keeping cool" emotionally, and the phrase "blowing your top", meaning to get very angry.
	+ The Baby Volcamelno's unusually high ability granting the player greater resistance to fire reflects this.
* The Volcamelno has been likened to generation III volcano camel Pokémon Numel and Camerupt. This likeness is likely to draw from the fact that both the Volcamelno and the Pokémon evolution chain have the same theme: volcanoes and camels; as opposed to the Volcamelno being a reference to these Pokémon.
* The Volcamelno is one of two animals based on a volcano, the other being the Volcanorilla.

## Notes

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

**Pandas** are the twenty-ninth animal species in the Space Zoo, and the second in Great Wall. Pandas are bumping animals. There are 10 different types of panda. Like all Space Zoo animals, more pandas are unlocked progressively as the player upgrades the panda habitat. They can be unlocked when the player upgrades their ship to Great Wall 2.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Pandas start off curled up and stationary.
* **When ridden:** Pandas start slow and can bump small animals (level 1), which allows the player to ride pandas for longer. As they get closer to becoming angry, they speed up.
* **When angry:** Pandas slow down, buck the player up and sit on the player, similarly to hippos.
* **In habitat:** Pandas mostly remain curled up, sleeping. They will occasionally look up while still curled up, and let out a small yawn.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** Pandas stand up and lunge, roaring from right to left.

## Tips

Pandas are able to bump other small animals to make it happier (level 1). This allows the player to travel a decent distance on them before forcing the player to jump off. Pandas, especially after the level 4 upgrade, take a fairly long time to get angry, and they have good mobility, meaning they are an excellent choice to ride for a long distance. Additionally, the level 6 upgrade allows players to ride pandas without their lasso size shrinking.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - Pandas can bump into small animals to stay happy
* **Level 2** - Add two new rare pandas to the stampede (Red Panda, Frying Pan-da)
* **Level 3** - 2x more pandas in the stampede
* **Level 4** - Ride for an extra 1.5s before a panda gets angry
* **Level 5** - Add two new rare pandas to the stampede (Bamboozled Panda, Beijing Opera Panda)
* **Level 6** - Landing on a panda doesen't reduce your lasso size
* **Level 7** - Get bonus coins by bumping into other animals on pandas
* **Level 8** - 2x more rare pandas in the stampede
* **Level 9** -  Add a new rare Panda to the stampede (Space Panda)

## Trivia

* Pandas are currently the only species in Rodeo Stampede that has an upgrade that makes more of them spawn not be the first upgrade.

## Notes

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

Like all Space Zoo animals, more phoenixes are unlocked progressively as the player upgrades the phoenix habitat. Phoenixes are flying animals. There are 12 different types of phoenix. They can be unlocked when the player upgrades their ship to Olympus 3.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Phoenixes fly slowly and appear sprinkled around the stampede.

## Tips

Phoenixes are useful, but tough to tame.

The Skyunk has thick, dark brown hair for most of its body. The top of the whole body (including head) is a thick white layer of hair, representing skunk-like colours. Its horns are a violet and darker purple colour. Near its long, thick, bushy tail, the white hair on top has a black stripe which goes to the very end of its tail. The feet have three triangular-shaped claws on each.

## Description

*Ten times bigger than a skunk, and a hundred times stinkier. Loves to cuddle.*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Mountains 3 or greater.
* Yak tamed.
* Ride past 200m in Mountains.

**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 200m.

## Trivia

* The Skyunk is a play on a skunk, well-known for its smelly stench released in self-defence, which can be seen by the name, description and appearance.

## Notes

* The Skyunk was released in version 1.1.0 on the 26th of July 2016 along with Mountains and all other Mountains species.
Species: Rabbit

**Rabbits** are the thirty-second animal species in the Sky Zoo and the fourth in Tundra. Rabbits are bucking animals. There are 12 different types of rabbits. They can be unlocked when the player upgrades their Sky Zoo to Tundra 2, and are found past 1000m.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Rabbits hop forwards in small packs.
* **When ridden:** Rabbits hop similarly to when wild, although at a faster pace. From level 2 onwards, they are able to travel on ice without slipping.
* **When angry:** Rabbits hop in a short-short-long pattern similarly to grasshoppers, jumping very high on the long hop. They move at a similar pace to when not angry.
* **In habitat:** Rabbits sit in the stampede, with ears constantly twitching slightly. They will occasionally look down, sniff the ground, look to the right and look up, all in one motion.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** Rabbits sit up straighter, pause, and have a glance to the left and right.

## Tips

Rabbits have no major benefit, as they reduce the player's lasso size, are difficult to control when angry, do not move fast to carry the player a long distance quickly and do not offer any  bonus when crates are smashed. The player shouldn't avoid them though, but instead, use when in dire need of a safety animal that moves slowly when at a high distance. They also offer the benefit of having perfect control on ice from level 2 onwards.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - 3x more rabbits in the stampede
* **Level 2** - More control on ice when riding a rabbit
* **Level 3** - Bucks from a rabbit push other animals away
* **Level 4** - Gain 50% more ticket money from rabbits
* **Level 5** - Ride for an extra 2s before a rabbit gets angry
* **Level 6** - Jumping from a rabbit temporarily increases lasso size by 20%
* **Level 7** - Get bonus coins while bucking on rabbits
* **Level 8** - 2x more rare rabbits in the stampede
* **Level 9** - Add a new rare Rabbit to the stampede (Funny Bunny)

## Notes

* Rabbits were released on the 25th of January 2017 in version 1.5.0, along with Tundra and all other Tundra animals.
Sundae Whale

The **Sundae Whale** is the second blue whale in the game.

## Appearance

The Sundae Whale is a red blue whale with brown cream, white sprinkles and cherries on top.

## Description

*A huge pretty sundae with a lot of cherries on top.*

## Requirements

* Ocean Zoo unlocked.
* Blue Whale 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 Sundae Whale is a play on a sundae as shown in the appearance and description.
	+ The Baby Sundae Whale's ability where eating animals is 8% more effective also plays on this.

## Notes

* The Sundae Whale was released in version 2.4.0 on the 18th of July 2022, along with the other blue whale species.
* Upon release, the description was missing a period.
	+ This was fixed at an unknown date.
Wombamelon

The **Wombamelon** is the seventh wombat in the stampede. It can be found in the stampede when the player upgrades their wombat habitat to level 9.

## Appearance

The Wombamelon is essentially a recolour of the Wombat. While its nose remains the same as most other wombats, most of its head is coloured bright red, with the very top portion coloured green with vertical light green stripes, continuing across the top of its body and tail to resemble the skin of a watermelon. The rest of the body is also coloured red, fading up to white near the skin, with three black "seeds" on both sides. Finally, its legs are coloured dark green, with the very top of each coloured solid white.

## Description

*Critically endangered, but delicious! Cool and refreshing during summer heatwaves…*

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Outback 2 or greater.
* Wombat tamed.
* Wombat habitat upgraded to level 9.
* 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 Wombamelon

* Jump from animals 8% faster
* *Fire burns 4% slower (passive)*

## Trivia

* The name "Wombamelon" is a portmanteau of the words "wombat" and "watermelon".
* The Wombamelon's description seems to imply that they are popular as a food source, and plays on how watermelons are often eaten during summer due to giving a cooling effect.
* The other animal to play on a watermelon is the Melon Collie.

## Notes

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

The **Stag Beetle** is the fourth beetle by zoo order in the game. It can be found in the stampede when the player upgrades their beetle habitat to level 5 or higher.

## Appearance

The Stag Beetle has a similar appearance to the Beetle, albeit with a few additions. Its body colour is completely brown, and it has the addition of pale brown antlers and pale brown serrated mandibles, protruding extensively forward from its head. To each side, the Stag Beetle has triangles with dark interiors reflecting ears. Each leg also has the feature of a dull brown section at the very end, representing hooves.

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Garden 4 or greater.
* Beetle tamed.
* Beetle habitat upgraded to level 5 or higher.
* Ride past 1200m in Garden.

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

## Baby Stag Beetle

* Jump from animals 6% higher
* Crates give 20% more coins

## Trivia

* The Stag Beetle is a play on real life stag beetles, beetles whose males are known for their antler-shaped mandibles, as mentioned in the description. In this case, the Stag Beetle's appearance is more so likened to a real life stag's.

## Notes

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

**Turtles** are the seventh species of animal available in Olympus, and the sixteenth in the Space Zoo. Turtles are smashing animals. There are 10 different types of turtle. Like all Space Zoo animals, more turtles are unlocked progressively as the player upgrades the turtle habitat. They can be unlocked when the player upgrades their ship to Olympus 5.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Turtles sit still in pools of water and on land.
* **When ridden:** Turtles move slow, and speed up marginally when in water and just after they exit the water.
* **When angry:** Turtles slow down and buck the player a horribly short distance in the direction they were facing.
* **In habitat:** Turtles scurry along in the habitat, occasionally tucking their heads, arms and legs into their shell suddenly.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** Turtles arch their weight onto their rear, and tip back forward. The momentum of this causes them to tip back onto their rear again.

## Tips

Turtles are only good for fast water travel. They are good in Jungle, but are terrible in Olympus, being a contender for the worst animal in the game. They are slow, get angry quickly, sometimes even before the player can tame them, and buck the player a very short distance when angry after slowing down, resulting in wild animals moving faster and past the player and leaving the player stranded as the turtle bucks them straight into the ground. They are beyond useless anywhere besides Jungle, Olympus and Outback, and it is also easy to get eaten by tyrannosaurus rexes or spiders due to their slow speed, pounded by drop bears or walruses, or get struck by lightning or volcanic rocks.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - 3x more turtles in the stampede
* **Level 2** - Add two new rare turtles to the stampede (Black Turtle, World Turtle)
* **Level 3** - Allows turtles to smash through rocks
* **Level 4** - Get bonus coins for riding through water on turtles
* **Level 5** - Add two new rare turtles to the stampede (Ninja Turtle, Flippin' Burger)
* **Level 6** - Turtles take longer to slow down
* **Level 7** - Energy drains 10% slower in the Olympus
* **Level 8** - 2x more rare turtles the stampede
* **Level 9** - Add a new rare Turtle to the stampede (Shellebration)

## Notes

* Turtles were released on the 17th of September 2017 in version 1.11.0 along with dragons and hydras.
* The turtle is the only non-mythical species in the Olympus.
Species: Stegosaurus

**Stegosauruses** are the eighth species of animal available in the Jurassic zone and the Space Zoo. Stegosauruses are eating animals. There are 10 different types of stegosaurus. Like all Space Zoo animals, more stegosauruses are unlocked progressively as the player upgrades the stegosaurus habitat. They can be unlocked when the player upgrades their ship to Jurassic 6, and can only be found from 1000m onwards (excluding the Stegosawrus).

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Stegosauruses run evenly, as if running a marathon.
* **When ridden:** Stegosauruses move faster and can eat shrubs, lunging in towards a shrub is near one and facing it.
* **When angry:** Stegosauruses buck the player forward about 60m.
* **In habitat:** Stegosauruses stand and walk around, shaking their body from side to side every so often.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** Stegosauruses lean back and bring their front legs off the ground.

## Tips

Stegosauruses are incredible distance carriers. When their habitat is upgraded to level 6, they can carry the player almost 1500m if the player sticks to shrubs, with good steering control. However, they are quite big and bulky, and while they travel at a quick pace, they lack the speed to avoid wild tyrannosaurus rexes. They also throw the player when angry; something the player has to be wary of.

## Habitat Upgrades

* **Level 1** - 3x more stegosauruses in the stampede
* **Level 2** - Add two new rare stegosauruses to the stampede (Sydney Operasaurus, Thesaurus)
* **Level 3** - Eating shrubs keeps a stegosaurus happy for longer
* **Level 4** - Energy drains 10% slower in the Jurassic
* **Level 5** - Add two new rare stegosauruses to the stampede (Nachosaurus, Crystalsaurus)
* **Level 6** - Ride for an extra 2s before a stegosaurus gets angry
* **Level 7** - Get bonus coins for eating shrubs on stegosauruses
* **Level 8** - 2x more rare stegosauruses the stampede
* **Level 9** - Add a new rare Stegosaurus to the stampede (Sparkosaurus)

## Notes

* Stegosauruses were released later than all other original Jurassic species, released in version 1.9.0 on the 22nd of June 2017.

* The Baby Zebra's ability reflects that of the adult's.

* The description references Valhalla, a mythological hall in Norse mythology, which was the religion which Vikings followed.
	+ The Viking Goat is one of three animals that have some kind of reference to Vikings, the other two being the Battle Yak and the Walrus Viking.
* The description also references a goat's tendency to chew all sorts of objects.

## Notes

* The Viking Goat was released in version 1.1.0 on the 26th of July 2016 along with Mountains and all other Mountains species.
* The description had an error in that the space before the ellipses (...) should have been after the ellipses.
	+ This was corrected in version 1.15.0 on the 22nd of March 2018.
Spartan Bullwark

The **Spartan Bullwark** is the seventh minotaur in the game. It can be found in the stampede when the player upgrades their minotaur habitat to level 5 or higher.
