        String[] animalImagePaths = {
                "images/how-to-play/animals/rat.png",
                "images/how-to-play/animals/dog.png",
                "images/how-to-play/animals/minotaur.png",
                "images/how-to-play/animals/dino.png",
                "images/how-to-play/animals/bat.png",

        };

Components like texts and buttons of the menu are displayed in tables, which makes everything aligned and have the same structure with every other screens. A for loop is used to add every descriptions and pictures into the table:

Table table = new Table();
for (int i = 0; i < animalDescriptions.length; i++) {
            Image animalImage = new Image(new Texture(Gdx.files.internal(animalImagePaths[i])));
            Label animalLabel = new Label(animalDescriptions[i], skin);

            table.add(animalImage).size(75, 70).pad(10);
            table.add(animalLabel).pad(10).left().row();
        }
return table;
