Animal crates first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and have since recurred throughout the ''[[Donkey Kong (series)|Donkey Kong]]'' franchise. The contained Animal Friend is identifiable from its depicted silhouette on the animal crate. The [[Kong]]s can usually break one open by [[jump]]ing on it, therefore freeing the Animal Friend, and ride on it until the end of a [[level]].
+Animal crates have a similar counterpart, the [[Animal Barrel]]. Instead of freeing an Animal Friend, these barrels transform the Kongs into the one depicted on it. Animal crates are usually placed in areas where an Animal Friend comes in useful. For example, freeing Enguarde from his crate makes underwater levels easier for the Kongs because Enguarde can defeat most underwater enemies. Similarly, Animal Barrels are usually placed where the Kongs are required to their pictured Animal Friend, for instance [[Rattly]] in [[Rattle Battle (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Rattle Battle]], because of his high jumping ability.

 ==History==
 In ''Donkey Kong Country'', all five Animal Friends had their own animal crate, including [[Squawks]]. Animal crates made a second appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', where they retained their functionality. The game only has two Animal Friends, both of whom have their own crate: [[Rambi]] and [[Expresso]].
