Will there be a lot of animals online?

[Looney Dan]

I was thinking about this and knowing how certain games run, how do you think animals and wildlife will function for online servers? Will there be a good amount and they just respawn after say, 3 minutes or so or will they be more scarce than the offline end of the game and take longer to respawn? What do you guys think? 

I am actually one of those people who would hop on with a few friends and just go hunting together for fun so I am hoping they have enough wildlife and the respawn times are good.

Think how many peds there are in GTA online. Lots. Change ped to animal and you will have lots of animals in RDR online.

We are going to have a nice mix of animals and general NPCs. The lack of cars and lots of people walking around a major city will be made up with amazing wildlife I am sure.

I don't know how they plan on doing the spawning but I am sure there will be plenty to hunt and interact with online. What would be great is if you could put bait near someone's campsite and attract like bears or cougars there so when they go to leave, there is an animal waiting to kill them lol

I want to see more dogs. Heck, it would be cool if you can have a dog. Like let there be maybe 2 or 3 breeds in a handful of fur color coats. Like the dog can serve as an alert for when someone is near you or near your camp and also aid in hunting.
