Little Feral Update + Good News

Hey Jammers! Long time no see. I've been working non stop on a big art project for the past couple weeks that... has nothing to do with Animal Jam :\ please forgive me for the absence

But! It'll be done soon, and I'll have room in my head to think about AJ again XD

So, some quick Fer.al updates!


The homepage changed recently, and you can sign up for updates and *fingers crossed* beta invites! Meaning, if you sign up you have a chance of being allowed to beta test Feral before its open for everyone (13 or older, of course).

Some lil updates from Clark Stacey:



Also, something really cool happened! Like really really really cool!!!


WildWorks has decided to join an alliance of gaming companies/platforms with the goal of reducing/mitigating environmental destruction and climate change! :D

Here's a brief summary of what this all means:


 In terms of what Animal Jam will pledge to do do specifically...



Those two pieces are from two different articles. It seems that Animal Jam will... plant a tree for every new Animal Jam player!? Wow! Hopefully that will end up being a lot of trees.

I wanna know the details of this initiative, like where the trees will be planted, when they'll be planted, and how they'll be taken care of. These are all important pieces of information that aren't always clear with initiatives like this. But this is all a good step in the right direction!

Also! Another cool thing WildWorks has pledged to do is something that I've been wishing for for a very long time– incorporate more game elements focusing on environmental restoration. Animal Jam doesn't feel right if it ignores the actual natural world that inspired it, so I hope we all see more educational/natural elements implemented fast.

Very happy today :')

See you in Jamaa! I'll try to post this Thursday (it's the update, right?)

    1. Well thats not as cool, but I guess it makes sense. If someone gets a membership there's a higher likelihood of them being a legitimate player and not a storage account

  3. May we meet again, Moneky52! </3

    The bat facts are probably from last year, yup. But they had a page in the Jamaa Journal about pangolins, so that's something!

Heyyo! I love it when you guys comment. I'm always checking for more, so even if you comment on an older post I'll definitely see it and try to respond. :)

Before you comment, of course, here are some basic things to remember:

-Don't be mean on purpose.
-Keep the comments appropriate for all ages. This is an Animal Jam blog.
-No spam, please! That means no comments just saying "buddy me im animaljam123" or "hi", just add a little more than that.
-Rants/long comments totally encouraged! You don't have to apologize for a long comment, I love reading them xD

-*NEW!* Please be safe about the personal information you share here, and on the internet in general. Just like AJ's in-game safety guidelines, don't share your real name, photos of yourself, phone number, address, email, or age. Always turn to a trusted adult if you're unsure about something.

Pretty easy rules. Nothing to stress about. As long as you follow them, you can say whatever you want!

Thanks for reading! C(o.o)D

P.S. That's a bear emoticon up there. ^
