De-Extinction Release

You've decided to combat the ever-increasing threat of animal extinction? Fantastic! While Releasing your animals into the wild is a noble feat in itself, sometimes that means that the animals truly in need aren't getting the attention they require. This project gives aid to those animals who are already extinct in the wild (or recently extinct) and need to repopulate. It's really quite simple.

When you apply for the Anti-E Project, you receive a pair of randomized animals for free. Your job then is to breed and release as many as you can, earning rewards along the way. You don't own these animals, however, they are only borrowed. You may not sell or trade them, and all of their offspring must be released as well unless you reach a certain reward tier. You may trade out your Anti-E animals, however, as long as you release one of the two animals you received as a conservation area starter. All of your conservation animals, including offspring and starters, will be swapped for a different random species.

Requirements:

To release, you must complete three out of five specific prompts through art, be it drawing or writing, as well as a mandatory vet check. Each prompt needs to be 3 fame/rolls per animal minimum, not including the release bonus. Generally this would be a fullbody + Shading + simple background. You can feature as many animals as you wish for a release.

Special Literature Rules:
Due to the repetitive nature of releases, the word count rules slightly differ from typical art. Instead of requiring a minimum of words being 600 per prompt per animal, it is instead 200. This is for releases only! Therefore for a full set of release prompts (including the vet check,) the minimum word requirement would be 800 words per animal.

----

Prompt 1: Vet Check (mandatory)
Before release, the animal must get a clean bill of health! It would be a shame to release animal just for them to pass away from illness. Even worse, a sick animal could contaminate the wild population! Have a vet check out the animal to make sure it's ready

If you have a Veterinarian Award, you are able to skip the mandatory vet check.

Prompt 2: Finding Food
Obviously if an animal is to survive in the wild, it must have a constant source of food. Teach your predator to hunt, or your herbivore which plants are edible to ensure it can feed itself upon release. 

Prompt 3: Finding Shelter
One of the other most important parts of being in the wild is finding a place to stay hidden from predators and the elements. Show your animal discovering how to make a den or find a safe place to sleep.

Prompt 4: Social Skills
If an animal is going to pass on its genes, it needs to know how to interact with others of its kind. It must meet others of its kind, preferably unrelated, so that it can learn how to deal with others in its species without being harmed!

Prompt 5: The Release
You did it! Here's the moment you've been waiting for- the release! Your animal is stepping out onto unfamiliar soils and is ready to embark on the journey of the rest of its life. Good luck!
