Miscellaneous animals (food)

In Metal Gear Solid 3 to survive you must eat food. This article contains information about the other animals in the game.

European Rabbit

 * Initial Taste:    Tasty
 * Danger Level:     None
 * Stamina Recovery: Moderate
 * Capture:          Yes

Found commonly later in the game, especially the area where The End is. This cute little thing is easy to find, hunt and digest. It tastes good and gives fairly good stamina. And when you kill it, it drops serum.

Markhor

 * Initial Taste:    Tasty
 * Danger Level:     Low
 * Stamina Recovery: High
 * Capture:          No

A goat! More interestingly enough Para-medic says "markhor" means "snake eater" Only natural it would be here. It only appears when it's raining or at night. It's too big to be captured, so kill it. It drops not one, but 2 packs of meat. It's on par with the Gavial, only because the Markhor doesn't fight back. Actually, it kicks you if you get too close.

Indian Gavial

 * Initial Taste:    Outstanding
 * Danger Level:     High
 * Stamina Recovery: High
 * Capture:          No

The best food you can pick up during Virtuous Mission. it is hard to get because the Gavial does quite a bit of damage to Snake. It's attack knocks Snake down. When Snake gets up, you'll have a few second to get away before it repeats it's attack cycle. if you manage to kill one, you will be treated to not one piece of meat, but three! Each piece of meat recovers a large amount of stamina, capable of keeping you satisfied for ages. You cannot capture the Gavial, so don't bother. Your only way is to kill it. You'll find tons near swamps and a few lakes. WARNING: Do not come close to a Gavial in the water. If it gets a hold of you, you are dead. Just for fun, throw a grenade at its head when its mouth is open.
