Everything You Need To Know If You Are An Animal

Here are all of the basic stage movements for all of the animal groups. I've also included who is assigned to which group, just in case you've forgotten which group you are in.

Remember, there's one very important movement that everyone makes together, except for Group 5 (the Cats, Rats and Mice) and that is the move out of the aisles and into the ark. When do you make that move?
