The Lesser Bushstalker (Stirpsed Flet Minor)
T
he Lesser Bushstalker is a carnivorous predator found across Central and Southern Africa. It’s prey traditionally consists of small Antelope, such as Impala (Aepyceros melampus) although they have been known to hunt young Buffalo (Syncerus caffer). Due to extremely short legs Bushstalkers are severely limited in speed, and therefore rely on stealth when hunting. Coated in a heavy layer of long golden hair, Bushstalkers are able to disguise themselves among the various shrubberies found across the Savannah by retracting their faces and legs behind their coats of hair. They will position themselves amidst a grazing herd, and wait until a grazer moves within reach before they pounce.
