Msuluhivu looked down upon the strange new creature, she had never seen a wild dog before. Actually, she had only met leopards, a lion, and a cheetah, basically, she was familiar with felines. She was completely unfamiliar with the short tail and longer snout, it was quite intreguing. Jumping down from her perch in her tree, she landed in front of Chenza, smiling.
"Hello, I'm Msuluhivu, but Hivu for short, and if you don't mind me asking, what are you?" She always did have a habit of introductions first, possibility of danger later.

She chuckled, "You're funny Chenza, its nice to meet you too." She said, still giggling. "A wild dog huh? I've never heard of those before, I'm a leopard" She said, puffing out her chest happily. "Can wild dogs climb trees?" She asked, eyeing the slender limbs Chenza had, wondering how such tiny things could support anything at all. "I love to climb trees personally." She said flexing her claws absent mindedly and clawing a nearby tree.
"Or are you runners?" She asked, "I met a cheetah once and he ran real fast, but he couldn't climb. He was very funny though, like you! Maybe funny creatures run and the rest of us climb?"

"Yes I suppose we do have sharp claws," She said, picking up her right paw and looking at it, observing her claws as she flexed them. "You don't seem to have much of claws at all yourself," She said, looking at Chenza's feet. "Oh yes, I climb trees all the time, its so enjoyable..." She said, grasping the tree with her claws and pulling herself onto one of the low branches. "See? And its much easier to see things from here." She said before jumping back down.
"A bark? Like the bark on a tree? I've never known it to be loud before, though I suppose it could be loud if it wanted too..." She said, looking carefully at the bark on the tree nearest her.

"Really? I've never really been scared of falling..." She said, strictly land creatures sure were strange.
She jumped at the sound of the loud bark, she had never heard that sound before. Fur bristled slightly from shock, she said, "That was um, really loud." She said, "I've never heard that kind of noise before, let me try." She said, standing, taking a deap breath and letting out a loud "REAAAAWR!"
"Ahem... I'm not exactly sure what that was, but I think it was more of a roar, I guess leopards can't bark."

"Yeah, you are fluffy all over." She said with a little laugh, "And I've never thought of chasing my tail, but I suppose I wouldn't need to since its so long." She said, flicking her tail again. "Why do you chase it?" She asked, cocking her head to one side.
"I guess they all could if they wanted to, or maybe the one you met was just special." She said, "or the only one who is willing to show it." She said, "Perhaps I shall ask the next lion I come to meet, see if he or she will bark for me." She said happily, "Yeah, I guess we all are different aren't we, there are so many different kinds of things in the world, I wonder what else there is."

"I suppose chasing my tail would be fun if it wasn't so long that I would always catch it." She giggled, "After all, what fun is it to chase something that I can do this with?" She asked, raising her tail and lowering her head slightly and putting it into her mouth. Letting it go, she laughed, "Not much fun at all I would guess."
"Wow, I never really thought of it that way, I guess there isn't really a way around showing if you can bark or not when you put it that way." She said with a large grin. "Yeah, there should be tons of predators since there are so many kinds of prey." She said, "Otherwise there would be too many of those little guys running around and there wouldn't be any fun in hunting." She said, "They would be everywhere! There has to be some kind of balance."
