[citation needed]
I can do one better than that, I can expand that claim to all animal companions beyond the first and provide citation.
Page 93 of the Player's Handbook states:
"If the beast dies, you can obtain another one by spending 8 hours magically bonding with another beast that isn’t hostile to you, either the same type of beast as before or a different one."
Emphasis on another beast. Which means it's up to your DM to decide if there is a beast of that sort around to bond to. (Something the revised ranger also fixed.)
