Animals can be found across Chernarus and Livonia. After an animal is killed, it can be skinned by a player. Skinning drops meat and other resources which are used for crafting.

When a passive animal is wounded, it may start to bleed. However, there is no animation to indicate that the animal is bleeding. Predatory animals do not bleed.
