* Animal husbandry is only partially on the Epic [[curve]]. The curved value (effective skill) allows you see traits at that level (not true for bred in captivity trait which requires 60 numerical to see even on epic). The actual value (numerical) is used for computing the number of traits you can breed.
* Examining an animal will show traits if one has the required skill level. See the chart below for skill values required in successfully examining and actually seeing specific traits present in an animal.
