This skill allows the character to identify animals on sight by growls or chirps, residual tracks, or by smell. The person with Animal Lore will, on a successful proficiency check, know the name (species) of the animal, its anticipated hostility to man, its feeding habits, and its activity cycle. If the character has the Healing and/or Herbalism skills, he or she may treat the injuries and diseases of animals.
Critical Success: The character knows an astounding amount of detail about the animal.
Critical Failure: The character may confuse the animal with something that appears similar but is different in an important way (confusing poisonous snakes with non-poisonous ones, etc.)
