As he heard the squeals of pain, he bellowed a victory call in his excitement. Ignoring the rest of the herd he quickly shot forward to the antelope in the pit and sank his teeth under its flailing throat to end its misery.

His maw stained red still he nodded in appreciation as he licked his lips from finishing his meal. The blood rush may have overcome his fatigue.
"To you as well! I will remember this fantastic trick you've taught, me Thank you Taiga." He said, before hefting the rest of the fresh corpse over his back. "Enjoy the rest of your day, I am to feed a few more mouths than my own." He said with a dip of his chocolate noggin and began to make his way back to the falls.
