As April dawns on us, some critters are sticking around from last month, while others will be making their first appearances in the game.

Either way, we've listed every creature you can expect to find populating your island in April, as well as tips on how to catch them, and how much you'll be able to get for them if you choose to sell them at Nook's Cranny.

Of course, it's always worth donating any new species you find to Blathers at the museum!
