Twenty-two animal types have been seen in current gameplay: elephant, rhino, hippo, lion, snake, scorpion, crocodile, giraffe, zebra, camel, monkeys, turtle, deer, muscovy duck, flamingo, hedgehog, gorilla, red panda, pangolin, wolf, frog, and birds. That is a sighting index, not the full roster. A safari update added 12 more animals, including unique biome variants and two scorpions, and those extra names have not been filmed. They are not invented here.
Sighting spots are where an animal happened to appear. They are not fixed spawns. Spoken names can be wrong. One player corrected a hippo into a rhino mid-chase. A blue elephant and green or blue coloring stay on the parent animal until the game labels a variant. Retracted guesses such as a polar bear or a dinosaur are not on the list.
How to choose a target
The payout rules are shared by every species:
- A new species is worth more than another clip of the same herd.
- Dangerous animals pay more. Snakes were the explicit example.
- An attack that earns the Danger Shot tag makes the money jump. A kick or headbutt can be tagged a rare sight.
- People and scenery pay nothing.
- You can record from the bus or an observation point.
Use that order when the contract is large. Film the calm species once for variety, then spend battery on animals that can produce an attack. The editorial board that sorts the 22 by that rule is the filming tier list. Individual behavior is on each animal page.
Chargers worth knowing before you dismount
Elephants roam open wildlife terrain, including danger routes, the pyramid approach, and the cave route. They ram and burn the bus, gore players on foot, shake the car even as a calf, and sometimes chase tourists instead of the vehicle. They travel alone or in family groups. A blue-tinted elephant near the pyramid was called cinematic once. That is not a farmable variant. One player who stood still was not chased while the elephant went after other people. Other footage shows kicks and gores, so standing still is not a defense. Film from the vehicle. If the car is burning, repair with Q. Running from an elephant has drained stamina mid-chase.
Rhinos charge, follow the car, and fling players. One dangerous-route group, and a newer location with a whole group, are the sightings. Six rhinos chased one player. Offering food calmed a charging rhino while it ate. That is one run, and it is the best non-weapon interrupt on record.
Giraffes charge and chase on foot and in vehicles. Players called them mean. They show up on the open route near the wildlife area. A longer giraffe-only route guide was not available beyond that behavior.
Hippos block the road near water and are surprisingly strong, including the calf players nicknamed Moo Deng. Snakes chase and poison at the cave and the pyramid entrance. You dodge them to get in. Scorpions guard pyramid treasure with a venomous snake, and bites poison. Lions sleep by day and hunt after dark if you overstay.
Calm animals and night sightings
Zebras are passive with their babies until they are headbutted, and then they kick. Camels in the burnt forest soak hits without going down. Monkeys near the cave route are a troop players befriend, and one handled a coin. Turtles at a spot called the public bath peck anyone who gets close. At least one bird type pecks. Gorillas appear as a group near the start with no recorded interaction. Deer, muscovy ducks, flamingos, hedgehogs, red pandas, pangolins, and crocodiles are sighted with no documented fight. Wolves were identified near camp at night, and frogs by the cave at night.
Crocodiles along the cave route and the unnamed update animals are the holes in the index. If your screen shows a species that is not on the animal list, film it for variety and do not assume a payout from a similar name.
The day you film them is still on a timer. Overstay and the animal chases you home. Battery percent and a dropped camera can erase the tape even after a perfect Danger Shot. Those limits are in Film footage that pays and Return before dark.
