XP, an abbreviation for Experience (stylized as EXP in some cases), is a measure of how much food and/or prey an animal has consumed. Once a player reaches a certain amount of experience, they can evolve into the next tier animal. Experience can be earned by eating food, biting predators' tails, eating another animal, eating carcasses (some only), or feeding on Healing Stones. Notably, the only animal that doesn't have XP requirements to evolve is the King Dragon, as it only needs to eat all apex and monster tier animals as a Black Dragon (however, it can upgrade directly from tier 16 by a 1/1000 chance).

Technical

Current

The current XP bar is tan-yellow when filled and semi-transparent when not filled. It displays the player's XP amount in white text at the center of the XP bar.

Old

The old XP bar has an XP icon on its left and is outlined in white. It is not transparent and has the same yellow color when filled. Unlike the old XP bar, it does not display the player's XP amount, facing much criticism from the community.

In the Settings, there is a way to disable XP popups, meaning when you gain XP from an entity/food source, the amount given will not show as it normally does right above your water bar.

• Since October 10, 2016, any XP above 1,000 now reads like 1K, but if there is 1,100 XP it reads 1.1K.
• Since December 25, 2016, any XP above 1,000K doesn't have a decimal point.
• Since February 19, 2017, any XP above 1,000K now reads 1M but if there is 1,010K XP it reads 1.01M. The same applies with billions.
• Since April 18, 2017, any XP above 1,000 now has an extra number after the decimal, and the letter after is uppercased.
