Animal Care (Mental/Easy)          Defaults to Animal Handling
                                                        or IQ-4

	This is the ability to care for animals of all sorts.  It is different 
from animal handling in that you are only taking care of the animals, not 
training them.  This skill is automatically known by anybody with animal 
handling, at the animal handling skill level.  Furthermore, animal handling 
defaults to animal care at -4.

	A character with animal care will know the basics of how to provide for
an animal's needs.  This includes watering, feeding, cleaning, and exercise.  
A penalty of -2 should be applied when dealing with unfamiliar animals.  The 
penalty should be increased to -4 if the animal is very different or 
potentially hazardous.  For example, the -4 penalty would apply to a lab 
technician handling a cobra when she had only been exposed to white mice.  If 
the character has the animal empathy advantage then the +4 bonus applies to 
all rolls.
