Membership Card Animals

Hey Jammers! Welcome to the Animal Jam Whip!

For today's post, we are going to be talking about a special group of animals I like to call the ''membership card animals''. You'll know what I'm talking about as we begin.

Let's start off with the lion, the very first animal to become a member of this little club.

The lion was released in October 2011, and could only be obtained through a special membership pack called ''King of the Jungle". The pack included a free castle den, 15,000 gems, and a lion character, of course. If you didn't want the pack, you had the option of selecting a six month subscription to the National Geographic Kids magazine.

When the Diamond Shop opened its doors, lions made a grand re-entry to the game in May 2013 and were sold there for ten diamonds.

Another cool fact about the lion is that people who purchased it via gift card received a unique version of this animal named ''King of the Jungle''. Sadly, the name is not available to you if you buy a lion from the Diamond Shop.

The second animal with this similar situation was the arctic wolf. Yes, you heard it; believe it or not, the arctic wolf is in the special membership card group, too!

Arctic wolves were released in October 2012, and were only redeemable as a promotional gift through a special three month membership gift card with a picture of two arctic wolves on it. Like the lion, it had a unique name as well, that could also only be obtained via gift card. This explains why some peoples' arctic wolves are named ''Arctic Wolf''.

Then they were re-released in the Diamond Shop in May 2013. Whomp, whomp.

Moving on!

The third animal is the snow leopard.

Fun fact: once players started noticing that certain Jammers had snow leopards, they assumed the animal was a puma. I was one of those people. Hehe!

Snow leopards were released in November 2012 and, like the arctic wolves, could only be acquired through a special three month membership gift card with a picture of a snow leopard on it, and it was exclusive to Target. Pretty neat, right?

Also like the arctic wolves and lions, snow leopards from the gift card came with a unique default name: ''Snow Leopard''. I bet you know what happens next... yes, they were re-released at the Diamond Shop!

The final member of this group is the kangaroo.

As you've all probably guessed by now, the kangaroo was released in June 2013 and originally sole to a three month membership gift card that was only available in Australia and New Zealand, but when the Diamond Shop came to Jamaa, kangaroos were re-released there.

Unlike the previous three animals, the kangaroo did not come with a unique default name.

That about wraps up this post. Did you enjoy learning about the membership card animals? :)

Thanks for reading. See you soon!
