Animals can be found on the island.
If they don't choose a shitty island.

This may be just local bias, but I think one of the Dalmatian islands would be the best embark. They're moderate in size, should have plenty of vegetation if resources are reset, and from many of them you can reach mainland by swimming which is basically cheating ;)

No, you can't.

Sure, you might find jungle fowl, aurochs, wolves, boars. But you won't find chickens, cows, dogs, or pigs.

If things are reset, does that mean you can use islands that no longer exist?

But they only have a cubic yard to fit things in, a breeding pair of animals would take up loads of space.

See, if only you'd used the metric system, like any sensible nation does, you would've had more than 130% more space.

Is this in a world just before the evolution of humans?
Or is it a world wiped of everything human?
We have consumed a little bit of resources.

NOT breeding, that's what I said in the first place! One, a female, and a animal sperm bank. Even then, a young animal, i.e. smaller than an adult?

You would have to have old enough animals that they didn't depend on their mother's milk.

Chickens don't rely on their mothers milk. Dogs do, but even a weaned dog is rather small.

Pick Atlantis as your island, just for shits and giggles.

No, the world is as it is today- landmasses are still there, any animals that are currently there are still there, extinct animals aren't replaced. Since all traces of (modern) humans have literally poofed into nothingness, the resources humans have harvested from the earth have been replaced, (copper, oil, things like that). There was some confusion about ancient human remnants, like those houses carved into the sandstone in south America. We aren't concerned about that, so if we find standing stones we find them.

Nope. We'd also have sheep, goats, cows, horses. Plus I suspect we could get away with saying there's some feral dogs out there now, (how good are the dogcatchers in britain?)

Well shit.
I took your scenario to mean "Everything humans have done to the world is reversed", including the breeding and taming of animals to be more work-friendly.
