Animals in the Research Lab.
Super Raccoon breeds in the Research Lab.
Research Lab is a special menu in Super Animal Royale, in which players can spend 
Animal DNA and 
Super Serum to unlock new animals. To unlock breeds of an animal, the player must first unlock the base breed of that animal. DLC-exclusive animals cannot be unlocked through the Research Lab, and must be unlocked by purchasing that particular DLC.
Animal DNA[ | ]
Animal DNA is unique for each animal and is dropped after a match is completed.
Some Animal DNA types will only drop if the player is above a specific Level. For example, to unlock 
Super Donkey, the player must be at least Level 20 to find 
Donkey DNA as a random drop.
Animal DNA reward at the end of each game will be the next undiscovered Super Animal Breed (if you have any undiscovered animals left to discover at your level – not including animals at higher levels)
After a match that results in the player reaching Level 10 and every 10th level after, the player will receive Animal DNA corresponding to one of the animal types which the respective level unlocks (levels which do not have corresponding animal unlocks will just multiply whatever the random Animal DNA drop the player receives at the end of the match). Normal calculations are performed to determine the base amount of Animal DNA earned, and a bonus of either 2, 3, or 4 times the Animal DNA is applied to the drop.

Super Serum[ | ]
Super Serum must be spent alongside DNA to unlock a new animal or breed.
Super DNA Magnet[ | ]
Super DNA Magnets are consumable items used to guarantee a specific type of Animal DNA to drop at the end of a match. They are obtained at the end of a match you Level-Up in. The player can normally have at most 99 magnets, when this limit is reached they will no longer be earned.
The player uses their Super DNA Magnets in the Research Lab menu, by selecting "USE MAGNET" and clicking on an animal that the player has already discovered Animal DNA of. This guarantees that only the specified animal's DNA will drop for as long as there are active magnets on them. Each Magnet will last for three matches, represented by a counter that appears next to the chosen animal in the Research Lab menu. Multiple magnets can be used on the same animal, and it is possible to apply magnets to multiple animals at once. Only the counter of the animal whose DNA the player obtains at the end of a match will go down.
While a Super DNA Magnet is in effect, a player will receive a minimum of 5 Animal DNA at the end of a match.
