The upside of scavenging was that the food was easy to get. The downside was that the carcasses attracted insects. "I. Hate. Bugs." Mokomoko had been plagued by a swarm of flies from a zebra carcass that seemed to like her even more than it. No matter how much she ran around or swatted at them with her tail, they wouldn't leave her alone.
She eventually decided she would make them. She found a pile of dust and rolled around in it. "Feels so good." In a few minutes, the bugs were all gone.
Now, she was trying to shake all of the dust off herself.
