  • Falcons were initially listed as "Hawks"
  • Fennecs were initially listed as "Fennec Foxes"
    • Both of these listings have been changed to represent their names in game. (despite what they may be called in the real world)



If you have trouble finding frogs by listening for left/right like I do, here's another method.

  • Start where you can hear the frog, pick a direction (e.g. along the shore), walk in that direction until you find the point where if you take one more step you won't hear the frog anymore. Write down the coords of this point.
  • Go back to the start, walk in the other direction (more or less, doesn't have to be exact) until you find the last place you can hear again. Write it down too.
  • Go back to the start, pick a third direction and do it one more time.

The three points you just found describe a circle with the frog in the center. Solve for the center and there you go. If doing analytic geometry in your head doesn't sound like fun then there are websites that will do it for you.

Frogs can be heard for roughly 80 coords.
