Hunting AI animals in Ecos La Brea can be challenging, despite their seemingly docile nature. Mastering stealth is key. Here's how to successfully track and capture them.

Stealth is Paramount: Use your scent button to locate nearby AI animals, indicated by animal icons. A meter will appear when you crouch, showing how close you can get before spooking the animal. Movement significantly impacts this meter.

Movement Strategy: Sprinting fills the meter instantly; running also has a strong effect. Trotting is slower, while walking fills it most slowly—ideal for the final approach. Wind direction is crucial. Approach from upwind for the best results; downwind will spook the animal quickly.

Reading the AI: A question mark above the animal icon indicates increased sensitivity. Halt movement until it disappears to avoid alarming your target.

The Chase: The meter will likely fill before you reach the AI. Be ready to sprint—it's a race! AI movement is unpredictable, so practice is needed. Open fields offer the clearest pursuit.

Capture and Consumption: Get very close to initiate the bite. Once captured, drop and consume your prey. Repeat the process until satiated.
