Animal Behavior and Survival Skills

In the late afternoon, Frias, a camouflaged predator, conserves energy by blending into her rocky surroundings. Nearby, a flock of peafowl is uneasy about sharing their habitat with a predator, so they keep a close watch on her. As Frias stirs, the birds surround her, making the inexperienced cub nervous. Without her mother, Frias struggles with her identity as a predator. Meanwhile, another cub, Tars, spots an opportunity to hunt but lacks the experience to start.
