To Vurugu, a hunt was just another kind of struggle between life and death, and, though still not as fun as a good fight, was still cause for excitement. And this hunt would be quite a challenge. She was used to hunting on the grasslands and riversides of Africa. This jungle was entirely unknown. And she was used to hunting beside her clan mates. Now, she was alone.

But, undaunted as always, Vurugu crept through the jungle, her grey fur blending in with the shadows and her low-set body, hunched down, slid beneath the leaves and shrubs with barely a ripple to mark her passing. She paused as she caught sight of a large mass of red fur, some distance from her, intent on some unseen prey. A psychotic grin formed on Vurugu's face as she got a better look at the creature. Such power! The monster feline would make one good opponent in a fight. But now wasn't the time for that.

Later, my crimson beauty, she thought to herself. She froze when she saw a creature hidden in the brush just behind the feline. A Capybara had hidden itself when Rancor passed, and had managed to avoid being seen. But not by Vurugu. Moving as carefully and quietly as she could, the hyena circled around the large rodent, intending to ambush it while it was distracted. But she'd wait until the big cat had made his move first. It wouldn't make a good impression if she startled his prey, and it got away.

Amy was learning and taking in everything Penny taught her. She hunted okay but some got away. " oh Aunty Penny I can't do this it's hard " Amy said. Penny got upset with her and then Amy said " don't be a quitter huh?" and Penny nodded. Amy kept trying and trying.

Hulk let out a low growl he snapped a small tree in half, ready to use it as a spear. The green giant would have to take notes from his son, if he ever got to see him again. Now, Hulk normally liked dogs much like his old self liked dogs, but not these spotted dogs. Hulk frowned as he came up behind Penny and Amy, letting out a low grunt.

"Find anything yet or are you just standing there talking?" he grumbled at them, his green eyes narrow.

Rancor could sense something come to him from the side.  His ear rotated to follow the movement.  The animal was a size big enough to be potentially threatening.  Barely tilting his head, his green eyes moved to one side so much that his whites were viable.  Managing to spot the hyena, he watched her for a moment before she began circling around, obviously focused on something else.  Rancor brought is attention back to the tapir, which was not yet aware of him.  His rough pads slid across the earthen forest floor as he suddenly was almost thirty feet closer - close enough to be picked out from the background.

As luck would have it, before he could sneak in close enough, a shrill voice pounded over his ears.  The not-so-distant voice was enough to get the tapir to stiffen in attention.  It wasn't startled by the voice, but by seeing the striped pelt of the hybrid cat.  The piglike mammal bolted.  Rancor moved, even if he wasn't in the most strategic position.  The saber tooth didn't simply give up.  The tapir was pursued for close to twenty meters before the tiger managed to catch up with it as it zig-zagged through the brush.  The prey item was quicker than Rancor had anticipated but once his claws hooked into the hindquarters of the creature, it was yanked back.  Rancor jumped and his body was tossed to one side as he clutched the animal's back end.  The feline landed in some leaves on his shoulder, continuing to hang on to the thing was a shrieking out death cries.  He parted his jaws and bit into the tapir's throat as soon as the opportunity presented itself.

Rancor released his front paws and stood up correctly, the still-living animal being held from his jaws.  Now - who was so rude as to cause the inconvenience of having to chase his target?  The large feline was too eager to find out that he didn't even wait to properly let his catch bleed out before he began moving.  With head held low because of the weight of the tapir he was dragging, Rancor prowled toward the source of the incessant chatter.

Luckily for Vurugu, the Capybara she was stalking made the mistake of staying completely still when the sudden chatter broke out, eyes fixed on the red feline's muscular form. Still as it was, it was a simple task for the hyena to fasten her fangs around the back of its neck, and snap her jaws shut, shattering its bones. She let it drop, glaring around, wondering who was stupid enough to be so noisy during a hunt. A quick glance after the crimson feline revealed he'd caught the creature he'd gone racing after, and wasn't too happy. The hyena grasped her own prey, and drug it beneath the bushes, carefully concealing it.

Stepping back out of the bushes, she followed in the big feline's wake, intent on satisfying her own curiosity, and hoping she might get the chance to see the measure of the feline's fighting skills.

Penny and Amy rushed over to the green giant and Penny said to Hulk "It's a sure thing you'd squash us but since you can kill people like that, do you think you could teach us how to hunt like you cause ill admit what i know won't get us far so please teach us Hulk?"

Knuckle Joe had meant to get up early to go hunting but he forgot completely and slept late. Now he was in the jungle, hoping to get something hunting done. He hasn't brought weapons since he was confident in his martial arts skills. He saw the person called Hulk and two other dogs. He walked over to them.

"Hello. Mind if I join you?" He asked.
