Animals provide the primary way to earn cash in Raise Animals. When placed in the farm, they generate Money, the in-game currency, while you're online or offline. Your critters also attract tourists every few minutes, who offer you income based on the rarity and quantity of collected animals.
Some animals in this zoo-building experience possess one or more passive abilities. These impact your movement and actions during the lasso mini-game. Each passive has a condition or cooldown, which must be managed to ensure successful captures.

Basic is at the bottom, while Exclusive is at the top of the hierarchy. An animal's rarity not only affects its acquisition difficulty, but also its chance of having a passive ability.
During the lasso mini-game, animals can be captured across six biomes, namely the Savannah, Jungle, Tundra, Ocean, Halloween, and Unknown. Biomes keep changing as you ride an unlocked animal and cover more distances.
