Crows
Crows are ordinary birds found all over the map, and they never attack you. They matter for two reasons: their meat sells at camp kitchens, and a flock overhead often means Freakers or a Horde are close.

Good to know
- They are harmless to you.
- Shoot one to harvest Crow Meat.
- Crow Meat sells at camp kitchens for credits and trust.
- Selling any meat or plant to a camp earns the Kitchen Courier trophy.
- Crow Meat counts for Boozer's errand We're Getting Low on Meat.
- The Butcher skill increases the meat you get from animals.
- Their infected form is the Crier, found in the south.
What they tell you
A crowd of crows often gathers near danger, and that danger is often a Horde. When you see them, slow down and check with Survival Vision.
Hunting them
Crows are easy meat when you are short on credits. A quiet weapon keeps the shot from drawing Freakers nearby.
Rewards
Bring the meat to any camp kitchen. Early on it also covers Boozer's meat errand, which accepts crow along with deer and wolf.

Bear
Bears are big, tough animals that charge, bite and claw for heavy damage. You meet the first one while escorting Lisa in Lots of Sick People. After that they can turn up anywhere, so carry a strong rifle or a throwable.

Crier
Criers are infected ravens that nest in trees and on power-line transformers in the south. They dive in erratic lines and keep coming from their nests, so destroy the nests before you waste ammo on the birds.
- Animal
Deer
Deer are harmless game animals that run when they notice you. Hunt them for meat to sell at camp kitchens, and Copeland walks you through tracking and gutting one early in the game.

Ragers are infected black bears and the toughest animals in the game, with well over twice a normal bear's health. Treat one like a boss fight: keep your distance, set it on fire and pour in shotgun or heavy rifle rounds.
