Across Cambria there are different animals to be hunted for their Meat and their Hide. Meat being used for Cooking, and Hide being used for Crafting ranged armor.
Hunting animals can be found throughout the map, depending on its Tier.
When hunting these animals, you must use a Longbow or a Spear to kill it, otherwise the animal's carcass will be mangled. If the animal takes any damage that is not from a Longbow or Spear, it will also be mangled.
You can skin an animal's carcass for Meat and Hide. Hide can be crafted into Leather for crafting Ranged Armors (go to the Crafting station), and Meat can be cooked into HP-restoring food.
Hunting has a chance to earn Curios on skinning animals.
