Sometimes, though, it can be challenging. Even though there are many animals in our parks, they have adapted over centuries to blend into the landscape. When it is sunny it can be especially tough to find them! People generally describe me as hardworking and smart, I am proud to say!

They live in a social group known as a clan, but they are not good at hunting, depending on dead animals and scavenging for food. However, by doing so they help clean the wild and reduce the number of diseases which can be caused by rotten flesh which could spread through the ecosystem.
