Animals

 * Enemy Snake.png African Rock Python
 * Enemy Eagle.png Bateleur Eagle
 * Enemy Jackal.png Black-Backed Jackal
 * Enemy Machairodus.png Black Machairodus
 * Enemy SnakePoison.png Black Mamba
 * Enemy Gazelle.png Dorcas Gazelle
 * Enemy Machairodus.png Golden Machairodus

The Golden Machairous is interesting because they don't follow the normal rules for Machairodus. There is no den for them, they always spawn in a set of two cats, and these two predators will always be found in the Canyon.

It is possible to find Hyenas in the Canyon even though they don't spawn there. They spawn on top of the The Broken Arch (which is technically the Savanna biome) and can travel into the Canyon biome. This means you are not safe from them in the Canyon so be ready for combat.

Landmarks

 * Canyon's Entrance Oasis
 * Shallow Hideout Oasis
 * The Desert's Gate

Desert
The Canyon is a bleak and empty place. This rock-filled, hot, and unforgiving area falls between the Savanna and the Ocean. Found in the Canyon biome, there is an area of desert towards the Ocean side. There isn't an official biome for the desert but the Canyon is the area where the desert can be found.

Important things about the desert are the following:
 * There's no shelter to be found.
 * There are no water sources to be found here.
 * There is little food aside from meat from SenseIcon Carcass.png Carcasses and sometimes nests with SenseIcon SnakeEgg.png Eggs.
 * Machairodus attacks are rampant. Snakes and Black-Backed Jackals like to hang around as well.
 * The only friendly animal is the Dorcas Gazelle.

Differences between the Canyon and the Desert:
 * Gazelles don't live in the closed rock canyon areas.
 * Unlike the closed canyon, the desert is a very open area. Threats can come from anywhere.
 * There is an area whereSenseIcon Scorpion.pngions can be found. However, the swarming group on the ground is easy to walk around to avoid damage.
