What moves the odds
Two things: how deep into the area the food lands and which food it is. The front third of an area tops out at rank 4 and the middle at rank 6, so a top-rank animal needs a back-third landing whatever you throw. Within that, each food made for the area aims higher than the last. Three areas also hold their top animal back until the very end: Shadow Realm (from 90% of the way in), Phantom Harbor (from 90% of the way in), Nuclear Wasteland (from 90% of the way in). The best food for each animal is on the animals page.
Questions
How does the game pick which animal comes?
The food aims at a rank in the area, the spot it lands pulls that aim toward the ranks that live there, and anything above the spot's rank ceiling is ruled out. The chance of each rank then falls off smoothly the further it is from that aim.
Why do I keep getting different animals than the odds say?
These are the odds for a first throw. After that the game makes your last catch 200 times less likely and the one before it 2.5 times less likely, so it rarely repeats.
Does the throw meter matter?
Only for distance. A perfect meter adds up to 20 studs, which can carry the food into a deeper third or the next area.
