How does rarity work?

Hello, I have a question. I know that there is such a thing as "weighted rarity" that you can see on your pet or egg, but what I wanted to know is, what number qualifies as rare? Is it more rare the higher the number? Or is a small number more rare?

@tin Here's what the FAQ says about weighted rarity:
"What is the "Weighted Rarity" metric mean? How is it calculated?

The weighted rarity of a species is based off all the alive creatures in Ark. Generally, weighted rarities range from a number between 1 and 500, where a 0 weighted rarity means the species is extinct and 500 means a species is very common."

@orderedchaos Okay, thank you. Sorry for not checking the FAQ first.
