**Meat** (shown in the T-REX and Shark note) is a food item in mope.io.

## Technical

* It can be spawned when an Animal dies of any natural causes. This can include thirst, fire, disconnection, freezing, etc.
	+ The more XP an Animal has when it dies, the more meat is produced.
* When being bite-dragged by a T-REX or Shark, meat pieces fall off the Animal. For Sharks, a large quantity of small meat pieces will spawn around the Animal that's being dragged. For T-Rex, a maximum of 3 pieces of meat will spawn. Depending on the Animal that's dragged by the Rex, small or medium meat will appear.
* There are three types of meat: small meat, which can be eaten by Mouse+, medium meat, which can be eaten by Fox+, and Big flesh, which can be eaten by all animals from Crocodile tier and above.
* Carcasses also drop tiny meat when bitten.
* In infection game mode, zombies drop rotten meat that infects the player when eaten.

## Strategy

As one of the best foods in mope.io, if you find any meat lying there, EAT IT! (Unless you can't eat it. Also, DON'T do this when there's predators around) Meat gives a bunch of XP, especially large meat. A way to get meat is that you can wait prey out in Hiding holes until they die of thirst. However, that is very inefficient and meat give you less XP than eating it anyways, plus meat can be stolen. So the better way is to pretend to give out tailbites or act a.f.k. It's best to leave animals alone if they don't come out for long periods of time.

Meat is usually found in the Arctic, usually from Sea or Land biome animals that die there from freezing, so that biome is good for finding meat. The desert is also a top meat producer as fish or land animals often die there from water loss/heatstroke. So, the next time you play Mope.io, get supplied, and set off on a massive meat hunt!

Leave the prey alone if they are not coming out for a long time. However, the waiting them to die of thirst can be used if the prey is low on water. You can find often find meat in the arctic from ocean or land animals freezing to death.
If you are a low-tiered ocean animal, try pushing snails out of the ocean so they drop meat, which level you up very fast.

## Trivia

* Before the Colossal Update, instead of Meat, Mushrooms dropped when an animal died of natural causes.
* Along with Meat, Water also drops when an animal dies. The amount depends on how much water the animal had.
* If a player tries to eat their own meat when a T-Rex or Shark drags them, a notification will appear: "You can't eat your own flesh!" If they upgrade, they can eat the meat regardless.
