Lion

Where to catch the Lion

The Lion lives in Savannah (zone 2 of 17), on the far edge of the zone. It is number 6 of 6 in the Savannah index – the very top. 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.

Is it worth keeping?

• A plain Lion earns 40x a plain Pony, the best animal from Forest.
• The first animal in Desert, the Hamster, makes 1.5x 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.

Lion income by mutation and size

A plain Lion makes $1K/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.

Real catch cards. Odds are the “1 in …” number the card shows, which already includes the luck of that throw.
