Zoo and Wild Animals: Evolved (ZAWA)

Tamable animals

These animals can be tamed with kibble. Once tamed, you'll need to make sure they have access to food, water and enrichment. Tamable animals have genders, favorite foods, and individual breeding success rates. Animals with an asterisk in their name have multiple species to discover. You can learn more about your animals by using the data book.
