Animal Lore

Animal Lore is the in Ultima Online which enables the player to have knowledge about the animals of the wild. Essitially, targeting a creature with the skill gives information like stats, resists, skills and elemental damage distribution. At first it only works on tamed animals, later at 100 skill points on wild ones, and at 110 points on every creature.

Additionally, Animal Lore influences two other skills as well. In Veterinary it is one of the factors that determines the amount of healed HP. In Animal Taming it is one of the factors to determine the success of controlling the animal.

Also it determines hwo many animals can be held in a stable.

Training
Unlike other skills, this one can only be trained by "learning by doing". The obvious way of course is, to target all kind of animals to gether skill points, but this is a rather long procedure. A faster way is, to use the Animal Taming and Veterinary skills, as Animal Lore is automatically raised with them.
