Where to catch the Giraffe

The Giraffe lives in Savannah (zone 2 of 17), in the front part of the zone. It is number 1 of 6 in the Savannah index. A full-strength throw needs roughly 150 – 350 Throw Power to land in Savannah.

Foods that land here: Toast ($4,000), Orange ($20,000). A higher-tier food pushes the roll toward the rarer end of the Savannah list, so the newest food you own is always the best bait.

Any throw that lands in the front part of the zone can produce it. If you are hunting it for the index, lower your throw strength with the gear icon until the food lands on that spot – distance inside a zone decides which animals can come.

Is it worth keeping?

  • A plain Giraffe earns 4.8x a plain Pony, the best animal from Forest.
  • The best plain earner here is the Lion ($1K/s), 8.3x this one.
  • The first animal in Desert, the Hamster, makes 13x as much – once your throws reach Desert, replace it.
  • Keep it longer only if it rolled a strong mutation or size (see the table below) or you need it for the index.

Giraffe income by mutation and size

A plain Giraffe makes $120/s. Mutations and sizes multiply that number, and the two stack. The table below multiplies the plain income by the multipliers I have measured (Gold ×1.5, Diamond ×3, Emerald ×5, Ruby ×10, Rainbow ×20; Big ×2, Large ≈×4.3, Huge ≈×9, Colossal ≈×18.5, Gigantic ≈×37). Treat the size columns as estimates – real catches land a little above or below. With the 2x Cash gamepass every number doubles.
