Champion Kangaroo

The **Champion Kangaroo** is the ninth kangaroo in the stampede. It can only be tamed through an in-app purchase.

## Appearance

The Champion Kangaroo's base colour is a sunburnt red. It wears a complicated outfit, consisting of a gold and black shirt, brown shows with gold decorations and blue tassels hanging off of gold and black armbands. Additionally, a gold necklace hangs from its neck, large golden horns are found on opposite sides of its head, and two small flags on either side of its body. Said flags are mainly gold, with small black tassels hanging off of their trailing ends. They each bear a red symbol of some kind of animal on them, and they hang from black-and-white striped flagpoles.

## Requirements

* Sky Zoo upgraded to Outback 1 or greater.
* Purchase as a part of Exclusive Cowboy Pack VI.
	+ Pack is only available for 3 days, from either:
		- The time the player opens the game after updating to version 1.28.0.
		- The time the player unlocks Outback 1 or any area after.
* Once obtained, ride past 1400m in Outback.

**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 1400m.

## Trivia

* The Champion Kangaroo is based on a war general or god, coming from the original Chinese name, "袋鼠战神", meaning "Kangaroo War God".
	+ The Champion Kangaroo's appearance includes multiple elements of imperial Asian war culture:
		- The flags are resemblant of those in imperial Chinese warfare, including the Tang dynasty and Jin dynasty.
		- The headwear of the Champion Kangaroo may be a reference to the decorative elements of kabuto, the headwear that samurai wore.
	+ The English name appears to be a generic translation of the original name.
		- The description is equally generic, however, it is made to relate to the English name more, and is loosely derived from the Chinese description "Let's have a fight! You have to give me 2 arms.", which references how a kangaroo has short arms relative to its legs.
	+ The theme of the Champion Kangaroo may have intentionally been somewhat related to the Vampire Koala, which is based on a supernatural Chinese creature, in which it appears alongside in Exclusive Cowboy Pack VI.

## Notes

* The Champion Kangaroo was released on the 2nd of December 2020 on iOS, and the 4th of December 2020 on Android, in version 1.28.0.

Bosstrich

The **Bosstrich** is the sixth ostrich, and usually the first boss animal that the player can befriend in the game. Like all other boss animals, the player is required to complete a minigame or mini-quest called a boss mission to find and tame it for the first time. After the player successfully completes the minigame, it can be permanently found in the stampede where its match can be found.

## Appearance

The Bosstrich is coloured like a regular Ostrich, except it wears a black top hat on its head, a blue office suit with white pinstripes, a white collared long sleeved shirt underneath the suit and a red tie with white diagonal stripes. It also has a large cigar coming out of the right side of its beak, and a white tail.

## Description

*Nobody likes the Bosstrich, but everyone pretends to.*

## Requirements

**Note:** Its chance of appearing is extremely low due to it being a tier 5 animal. It will appear randomly but very rarely, and never before 1800m.

## Tips for Boss Mission

This is one of the easiest boss missions. The player begins on an ostrich, and chases after the Bosstrich which is running at top speed. The keys are to keep calm as the ostrich's steering is excellent, making each obstacle that the player passes fairly easy to dodge, and to jump onto the Bosstrich when the player is extremely close, as the Bosstrich moves at extremely high speed, meaning that it is likely that the player will fall short.

## Baby Bosstrich

* Crates give 10% more coins
* Missions give 8% more coins

## Trivia

* The Bosstrich is a play on a classic boss in both description and appearance.
* The Bosstrich was called "the bosstrich" in the soft launch of the game.

## Notes

* The Dimetroccordion was released on the 16th of August 2018 in version 1.19.0 along with all other dimetrodons.
* The Dimetroccordion's name contained an error in that "-accordian" was spelt incorrectly, where the original word is "accordion".

Chinese New Year Event 2020

The **2020 Chinese New Year Event**, also referred to as the **Spring Boss Battle** in-game, is a limited time event that occurred from the 15th of January to the 8th of February 2020.

## About

The gameplay featured an all-new, original event, in which players could tame new limited boss animals. The boss missions, one in each zone, were repeats of old boss missions of the same species. For example, the Holiday Ostrich mission was identical to the Bosstrich mission.  were earned for completing each mission, which could be spent on hats and costumes in the limited time shop. Missions could be repeated to get all the hats and costumes in the shop.

Additionally to this, Chinese New Year themed decorations appeared in the Sky Zoo, around the entrance and the cannon. The Shop was also modified to celebrate Chinese New Year. Firecracker shrubs littered the stampede, releasing coloured sparkles when smashed.

## Boss Missions

As mentioned above, the boss missions were repeats of old boss missions of the same species. For example, the Holiday Ostrich mission was identical to the Bosstrich mission. The player could only play each boss mission if they had unlocked the habitat of that animal species; that is, if the base animal of the respective species had been tamed. Players would get 3 attempts at each boss mission per day. VIP levels 1-3 received 3 extra attempts (6 attempts), VIP levels 4-6 received 6 extra (9 attempts), VIP levels 7-9 received 9 extra (12 attempts) and VIP level 10 received unlimited attempts daily.

The player could first attempt to complete the boss mission to tame the boss animal. The boss animal would then be able to be found in the stampede, and matches of them could be found to obtain babies.

After the player tamed the boss animal, each boss mission could be replayed; when completed they gave either 10, 20 or 30, which the player could spend on hats. The number of lanterns earned for each mission depended on the difficulty of the mission, and players could use an advertisement to double the lanterns earned in the mission. Number of lanterns given per mission is below:

## Shop

The player could purchase hats using , for the prices below:

The player could also purchase the boss animals for real money if they found the mission too difficult. Prices increased corresponding to the difficulty of the boss mission, so the Dark Pegasus was more expensive than the Little Yellow Chicken, which was more expensive than the Holiday Ostrich.

## Appearance

The Brontosaurus is notable as the largest base animal in the game, and is completely green. It has a thick, loosely humped body, with four short stubby legs attached to it, coloured mint green on the main part of its legs and progressively darker shades of green which act as its feet. Its neck can be seen to be long and bent forwards, connecting its relatively small head, featuring a protruding lower lip, to its body. Its tail is also extremely long, being similar in length to its neck, although it is thin and straight, ending at a point.

## Description

*Brontosaurus, meaning "Thunder Lizard" required a second brain to control its long tail.*

## Requirements

* Space Zoo upgraded to Jurassic 3 or greater.
* Ride in Jurassic.

## Trivia

* The Brontosaurus' appearance resembles the hypothesised appearance of a real life brontosaurus based on evidence of skeletons, however it was unlikely to be green in real life. Its colour in-game could be so to add some vibrancy in colour to make the game more visually appealing.
* The description references the true information of "brontosaurus" meaning "thunder lizard", however it also contains a myth in that brontosauruses required a second brain to control its tail, which is likely to be untrue.
* The Baby Brontosaurus' ability plays on the in-game and real life brontosaurus' lack of speed, due to its mammoth size.

## Notes

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