He had really lost his way, the start of his search had left him in a state of confusion and frustration with the hot dry weather. The large man was forced to seek shelter, his dark pelt not fairing in these warmer temperatures. There was no way his cousins would have chose these lands to settle in to. He didn't even have to spend anymore time searching, he was positive they would not be down here. Even light colored Zinnia wouldn't stay here. He needed to find some shade and wait till nightfall before he headed North, it would be a lot more comfortable for him to do so.
Large paws drug across the ground as the entered the territory of the grove. There was little water sources to lounge by so he was forced to just find shade and hope it would be enough. Panting lightly the large beast found the biggest patch of shade and flopped down into the grass. He then flopped down on his side in hopes to cool himself down faster. He laid there for quite a few minutes, possibly 30 or 40 in total before he sat upright again grunting as he moved. Now that he was cooled down he took the time to let his orange eyes look around.
There was movement around, but not much and he assumed most were either hiding from the heat or staying close to the shrinking water sources. Folding his front legs he took in his surroundings observing what he could around him. All while he wished for nightfall to come quickly.
