Kookaburra

Where to catch the Kookaburra

The Kookaburra lives in Forest (zone 1 of 17), around the middle of the zone. It is number 6 of 9 in the Forest index. A full-strength throw needs roughly 0 – 150 Throw Power to land in Forest.

Foods that land here: Carrot (Free), Apple ($30), Banana ($150). A higher-tier food pushes the roll toward the rarer end of the Forest list, so the newest food you own is always the best bait.

Any throw that lands around the middle 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?

• The best plain earner here is the Pony ($25/s), 3.1x this one.
• The first animal in Savannah, the Giraffe, makes 15x as much – once your throws reach Savannah, 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.

Kookaburra income by mutation and size

A plain Kookaburra makes $8/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.
