Alligators are in the wetlands and hunting is in the park. Both of those are stated.
What I want to know is whether there are animals in the ordinary parts of the world. RDR2 had wildlife on every road you rode down and it is a huge part of why the world felt alive. A game where animals only exist in two designated zones would feel very different.
Accepted answer
Dogs are a confirmed ambient animal with their own interaction options, which means animals exist in the ordinary world with behaviour attached rather than as props.
Petting, scolding and studying a dog is three verbs. Nobody writes three verbs for a prop. That is the answer I wanted.
there is a whole zoo, so animals exist as a category outside the wild areas. that is not the same as ambient wildlife though and you are right to separate them
pelicans are the correct answer and if they get the way pelicans fly wrong i will write a letter
Birds over the port and pelicans on the coast would do more for that world than any amount of deer in the north.
Studying specifically is an RDR2 verb. Its presence here is a direct systems inheritance, not a coincidence.
