Only three animals in Raft can be tamed: the Llama, the Goat, and the Clucker. All three live on Large Islands, all three are caught on land with a Net Launcher and a Net Canister, and all three pay you back in a different product: wool, milk, and eggs. Everything else that moves is hunted, not tamed, and this guide keeps that line sharp.

1. How taming works, step by step
Find the animal on a Large Island, on land. Untamed animals flee when you approach, so do not chase them on foot and hope to grab them. Fire the Net Launcher with a Net Canister loaded, and once the animal is caught it can be picked up and carried. Place it on your raft, and from that point it is considered tamed: it will no longer run away on the raft. Build a fenced enclosure before you bring animals aboard, because llamas in particular walk off raft edges. Animals can be renamed while held.
2. Feeding and production
Livestock must be fed from Grass Plots to produce. An animal becomes hungry after 8 minutes since it last ate, and then it stops producing. The timers pause while the animal is held or held in the net, so carrying time does not eat into production time. Keep Grass Plots stocked and the enclosure close to them, and production becomes a background routine instead of a chore you chase.

3. Llama: the wool animal
Llamas come in multiple sizes, at least 5 from extra small to extra large, and size does not count toward the rare achievement. What counts is coat. The standard llama is all brown. Rare Type 1 is reddish-brown with white legs, face, and neck. Rare Type 2 is predominantly brown with white stripes on its body and legs. Catch either rare type and Some Look Different! unlocks, at 18.1% of players.

| Variant | Look | Spawn chance |
|---|---|---|
Standard | All brown | 88% |
Rare Type 1 | Reddish-brown with white legs, face, and neck | 8% |
Rare Type 2 | Predominantly brown with white stripes on body and legs | 4% |
4. Goat: the milk animal
Goats give milk, collected with a Bucket. The standard goat is all black, which makes the rare types easy to spot at a glance. Rare Type 1 is predominantly brown with a little white marking on its face. Rare Type 2 is predominantly white with a few brown marks on its throat and head. Because the standard is solid black, any goat that is not solid black on a Large Island is worth catching on sight.

| Variant | Look | Spawn chance |

Standard | All black | 88% |
Rare Type 1 | Predominantly brown with a little white marking on its face | 8% |
Rare Type 2 | Predominantly white with a few brown marks on throat and head | 4% |
5. Clucker: the egg animal
Cluckers give eggs, and they are the most brightly coloured of the three. The standard clucker is all blue. Rare Type 1 is brown-bodied with a white hood, like a bald eagle. Rare Type 2 is predominantly red with a few white marks on its wings and tail, flamingo-like. The colour contrast is so strong that a rare clucker is hard to mistake for a standard one, even from a distance.

6. The rare hunt: what the numbers mean
Rare variants are decided on spawn: 88% standard, 8% rare Type 1, 4% rare Type 2, per animal. That means roughly 12% of the animals you meet are rare, and roughly 1 in 8 captures should be a rare type on average. The practical rule is simple: catch every tameable animal you meet on a Large Island, and check its coat only after it is safe on your raft. Rare variants are mechanically identical to standard animals, so a rare animal is a trophy and an achievement, not a better producer.
7. Wrangler achievements and what bees are not
The Wrangler ladder from the Steam schema counts captured animals: 1 for Beginner Wrangler! at 34.4%, 10 for Intermediate Wrangler! at 8.3%, and 50 for Expert Wrangler! at 1.2%. Bees have their own ladder, Beginner, Intermediate, and Expert Bee-nevolent! for 1, 10, and 25 bees at 30.5%, 15.9%, and 4.9%. This guide does not claim that bees do or do not count toward Wrangler, because the schema descriptions do not state a species restriction either way. Bees are captured, not kept as livestock, and they are not one of the three tameable species.
8. What is not tameable
Sharks, bears, warthogs, birds, Poison-puffers, Screechers, Lurkers, Anglerfish, and Butler-Bots are not tameable livestock. They are the combat and hunting ladder in the achievements roadmap, with 1, 10, and 50 kill or disruption tiers. If an animal attacks you, eats your raft, or needs to be disrupted rather than fed, it belongs to that ladder, not to this guide. Only the Llama, the Goat, and the Clucker go in a fenced enclosure and give you wool, milk, and eggs.
Frequently asked questions
How many animals can be tamed in Raft?
Three: Llama, Goat, and Clucker. All three are found on Large Islands and caught on land with a Net Launcher and a Net Canister.
Do rare animals produce more?
No. Rare variants are mechanically identical to standard animals. They unlock Some Look Different! and they look different, but they do not produce more wool, milk, or eggs.
Does a bigger llama count as rare?
No. Llamas come in multiple sizes, at least 5 from extra small to extra large, and size does not count toward the rare achievement. Only the coat pattern decides it.
Can bees be tamed like livestock?
No. Bees are captured and have their own Bee-nevolent! ladder, but they are not one of the three tameable livestock species and are not kept and fed like llamas, goats, and cluckers.
Sources and honesty notes: tameable species, capture method, feeding rules, products, and rare variant appearances and spawn chances were verified against the official Raft wiki livestock pages and a second independent guide, with the three-species and six-rare-skin facts matching the Steam changelog note. Wrangler and Bee-nevolent! names, descriptions, and percentages come from the Steam schema and percentage pull for app 648800 in the file supplied for this column. No breeding mechanic is claimed, because it was not verified in the two main sources. No animal close-up screenshot was found in the inspected Steam community sample, so this guide uses honestly captioned generic island and raft photos and never captions a non-animal photo as showing an animal.
