Identifying Animals by Appearance and Behavior

Visual Identification Guide

Each animal in the mod has distinctive features matching real species. Red pandas are small and reddish with distinctive markings, while servals are lean spotted cats. Penguins come in multiple varieties—Chinstrap, Gentoo, and Northern Rockhopper—each with unique head markings. Tortoises are slow-moving and heavily armored, while smaller creatures like tree lobsters and pink velvet worms are less obvious.

Behavioral Clues

Observe how animals move and interact:

• Fliers like burrowing owls and roseate spoonbills will perch and take flight
• Swimmers such as penguins and the Yangtze giant softshell spend time in water
• Climbers like tree kangaroos and red pandas favor elevated terrain
• Burrowers such as aardwolves and marsupial moles may dig or hide

Using the Animal List

When unsure, cross-reference the mod's complete animal list with what you're seeing. Note the biome you found it in—this narrows down possibilities significantly. Pay attention to size, color patterns, and movement style to distinguish similar species.
