This week we’ve got another update from the Jamaa Journal. It’s been a little while since I’ve done one of these updates so I’m going to catch up on some of the older news too!
How to play Animal Jam. Firstly, if you’re wondering “What is Animal Jam?“ then make sure you check out our awesome article with everything you need to know about the colourful game. If you’re a newly-joined “Jammer” (player) and are looking for some advice on how to play Animal Jam and where to begin – you’ve come to the right.

Aug 22, 2015 Help:-(! I can't think of any video ideasssss. So I ended up making what ever the heck this is:'D! I don't know what I do with my life anymore XD.
But first let’s start with the latest news for March 2018. The biggest news this week is right on the front of the Jamaa Journal – there’s another new animal coming soon! Inside the Temple of the Ancients one of the stones has collapsed to reveal a carving of this animal…
I went over to the temple to see for myself and here’s the first thing I thought – DRAGONS! Now go along with me here, doesn’t the rock formation look like a dragon?! The clue says the animal hasn’t been here for “many many years” and dragons (even though they aren’t real) are usually thought to have been in the past. Take a look for yourself and tell me what you think!
Those of you ocean animal lovers are in for a surprise, pet octopuses have arrived! You can get your very own pet octopus from the Diamond Shop or from Flippers N’ Fins in Crystal Reef.
Ocean lovers are in for another treat – Ocean mannequins are here too! Now you can have your ocean clothing and items on display in your den with your favorite ocean animal mannequins.
And yet another ocean addition is here. More ocean themed den items are available for purchase! Even in the cold of winter you can decorate your den like a tropical ocean paradise.
There’s all kinds of new items and things to see around Jamaa to celebrate Lucky Day. But be sure to enjoy it while it lasts because Lucky Day festivities won’t be around for much longer!
AJHQ has been on a roll lately with new Animal Jam toys. There have never been so many ways to take Animal Jam with you wherever you go! The newest toy addition are Chibi Block animal characters. These little statues are like Legos but with your favorite animals!
Now onto some older news that I’m catching up on. If you haven’t seen them yet, Polar Arctic Foxes have arrived in Jamaa! These rare arctic foxes have a special snowflake pattern on them and leave a trail of snowflakes wherever they walk. I’ll be doing a post on them soon so check back!
I mentioned the Temple of the Ancients earlier in this update but for those of you who haven’t been there yet, here’s some info about it. The Temple of the Ancients is located in the new land area – Balloosh. There are some ancient statues inside and some ancient carvings with information on them. Go check it out for yourself!
To celebrate Lucky Day the lucky castle has returned to the Diamond Shop. If you’ve been unlucky lately this might be a good way to increase your luck! There’s also the Lucky Clovers adventure where you can earn lucky clovers and use them to open treasure chests. What will you find inside?!
Dash Tag is now available for both Android and iOS devices. We covered this game when it was in BETA for Android but now it’s officially released. It’s free to download so I highly recommend getting it! I’ll be doing some more updates on Dash Tag as I get further in the game.
There’s a new set of Ancient Armor available for sale at the Temple of the Ancients. It’s pretty cool looking and I’ll be doing a post about it as soon as I buy the set! There’s also new clydesdale, cougar, deer and cheetah mannequins that you can put in your den.
Call of the Alphas has been updated to include the 3rd section of the Journey Book page. And with the new section comes a new prize. Head over to our Call of the Alphas guide page to see where to find all of the items!
In case you didn’t know, there’s a whole series of Animal Jam chapter books that you can buy! They just released the fourth book in the series. If you love Animal Jam and you enjoy reading then you should definitely read these!
This is probably old news at this point but in February a new land area called Balloosh was added to the map. This swampy wetlands area has a new Journey Book page and a whole new set of mysteries that come with it. You can find Balloosh at the top left corner of your world map.
Remember that strange stone that appeared at the Alpha Headquarters? Well now it has disappeared! There’s a new adventure in the Forgotten Archive called the River’s Heart. This adventure will lead you to a new discovery, what will it be?
Tyrannosaurus Rex Animal Jam
That’s all of the news I had to catch up on. Check back soon for more new Animal Jam updates!

Hey Jammers there is some major news in Jamaa today! I’ve seen announcements that the Tyrannosaurus Rex and Bigfoot are both coming to Animal Jam! Isn’t that crazy? Now let’s see what this might be about.
In an earlier post I thought that dragons might be coming to Animal Jam. It turns out I was wrong and it was the Sabertooth but maybe the T-Rex is it?! There have been stranger things that have happened in Animal Jam. Plus everyone loves dinosaurs!
Tyrannosaurus Rex (T-Rex) in Animal Jam
T Rex Animal Jam Video
Today on the AJHQ Explorer blog it was announced that T-Rex’s are the newest animal coming to Animal Jam! My mind was blown – dinosaurs in Animal Jam?! I quickly logged in to see if there was more information but I couldn’t find any.
Then I went back to blog and started reading the comments. Yep, today is April 1st aka April Fools Day! I was a bit sad after finding out that this was all an April Fools joke. But then I laughed because AJHQ had got me!
So unfortunately it does not look like the Tyrannosaurus Rex will be joining the rest of the animals in the game. At least not yet! Do you think AJHQ will ever add dinosaurs to Animal Jam? I mean they’re technically a kind of animal, right? I would want a Stegosaurus and a Brontosaurus. Which dinos would you want to see in Jamaa?
Animal Jam Bigfoot/Sasquatch
After I had gotten over my disappointment about the T-Rex I was browsing Tumblr and I found someone had posted this image. Bigfoot coming soon to Animal Jam! This time I wasn’t as gullible and figured out it was another April Fools joke. I can’t remember the user who made this, but I just wanted to say nice work! It looks pretty real!
This picture reminded me that this isn’t the first time I’ve heard Bigfoot rumors around Jamaa. Sasquatch sightings in the game have gone back all the way to the Beta Days, although I’ve never seen any real evidence of it.
There was a rumor going around that you could find Bigfoot at Mt Shiveer at the edge of the area where the ice cliff meets the forest. I’ve never been able to see him or anything that looks like a Sasquatch in that spot. I think it was either a glitch or fake.
Even though there hasn’t been hard evidence found of him, Bigfoot still remains a hot topic in Animal Jam. Some Jammers have even written fanfiction with a full backstory on how Bigfoot is in the game. Credit to that user for making the image above, I think this one looks real too!
So sorry to give the bad news but it looks like both the Tyrannosaurus Rex and Bigfoot announcements were just clever April Fools jokes. I don’t think we’ll be seeing a Sasquatch or any dinosaurs in Jamaa for a while. Or will we?
