Animals are a central feature of the American wilderness. Fauna comes in a variety of shapes and sizes and occupy wild areas throughout the gameplay. Some animals have been domesticated by the inhabitants of the American West, and serve as pets, transportation or livestock. Other animals cluster together in the wild in packs, herds and flocks.

Predatory animals will attempt to hunt and kill other animals, human NPCs, as well as the player and his Horse.

Almost all species of animals can be hunted and killed. Many of these animals can be skinned, and have their pelt/feathers sold to merchants for cash (Birds cannot be skinned, but they can be looted for feathers).

The game map displays icons for various animals, indicating locations where those animals are most common.

In Undead Nightmare, several of the animals from the main game appear as Undead Animals.

Shoot him and take his pelt to complete the Master Hunter Level 10 challenge. Two shots in the head with the buffalo rifle should do it. If the player doesn't want to take any risks, he/she should go to Dead Eye with the Evans Repeater, and shoot the whole magazine into the bear.
