Animals

Animals are the variety of infected and uninfected wildlife found throughout the game. Uninfected animals are a source of food while zombie animals are dangerous enemies.

Skinning
Once you hunt and kill an uninfected animal you have to skin an animal before cooking and eating the creatures meat. For a large animal like a buck you must equip a knife and then used on the corpse to get meat. For a small animal like a rabbit you must have the animal corpse and a knife in your inventory. Right click on animal corpse and select skin.
