Spawning

Most animals have spawn zones, which activate once a player is close enough to them. Once a zone activates the animals will be spawned.

The only exception to this rule are Turtles, as these get spawned upon world creation and only a few can respawn each day.

This map shows the spawn zones for:

Deer: Red

Raccoon: Green

Rabbit: Light Blue

Skunk: Yellow

Moose: Purple
