Stalk through tall grass and pack-hunt with your pride. Pounce to land a killing blow.

The savanna’s heavyweight. Rear up and slam the ground to send everything nearby flying.

Flock together, raise the alarm, and pronk away with a split-second of invulnerability.
-
Lie in wait beneath the water, then ambush-lunge anything that comes to drink.

Form a herd, stand your ground, and answer predators with a bone-crunching back-kick.

The fastest animal alive. Sprint down prey and pounce before it ever reaches cover.
-
Soar high, scan the plains for fresh kills, and glide down to claim a free meal.

Run in a clan and wear prey down over the savanna’s longest sprint, then bully bigger hunters off their kills and crunch the bones clean.
