Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jamaa's Hunting 'Classes' can only teach 2 pups at a time (more if the owners have them). This is because Jamaa gets nervious when he is surrounded by pups, just wait until he has a litter.






Jamaa will teach them the necessities and will teach them the fundimentals. After teaching all the pups (others who were taught by another are excluded) he will get more detailed with Jamaa's own complex tatical tricks.




1. The Tall Grass Field is just that, a field of tall grass. It moves with the wind and russle with movement. There are is a large mound of rocks on one side and a large slanted boulder towards the middle. The tall grass is a rusty color around this time of year and does well with Jamaa's coat, the target.

2. A field a little ways from the pack lands. The field is littered with thousands of rocks and boulders. There are even more holes all around the field that were dug up from Topas, the ratel and target.

3. Just a simple race. From the Pack's den to where Jamaa says to stop, also known as where he is sitting. Clear savannah, no rocks, trees, or bumps, simple flatlands. Goma is the one to be beaten, luckily he is slow due to his laziness.

4. Simple, flatland terrain. Keep on paw on Jamaa for a minute.

5. Flatlands, Tall Grass Field, and Rock Field. Simple hold down each target. Use terrain to advantage.

Poki followed Jamaa out to the field. Suposedly, it was training day, and Poki had to go. Of course, he didn't object. He just sat down next to Demani as Jamaa had asked and waited for the lesson to beguin.

'Hiding in the tall grass?' Tahupotiki thought. 'That isn't hard. I do that all the time when hunting bugs!' He made a grin and a low purring sound as understanding. When Jamaa gave the word, he ran off into the tall grass and stealthful hid.

His spot gave him a clear vantage point for spoting Jamma. Knooked between a ditch in the ground and a small boulder, Poki layed low, his belly only brushing the ground beneth him. His ears perked, he waited for Jamaa.

Jamaa watched as the little pups disappeared. He counted to a few tens to give them some time to hide well. Though, he was their "father" and he knew some of their hunting tatics that they use occasionally.

Poki was always hunting and playing with bugs. He always stayed low and kept his eyes on the target. He usually came from behind. Demani was more of the complex type. Jamaa just had to use his knowledge and give these two a little run for their money.

The adult grinned as he silently stalked into the tall grass. Demani would be the first for the muddy male to go for. Demani had a strange color and was a little easier to find. Poki would be similar with his golden fur. Jamaa just had to keep his senses opened up and wait for either to make a mistake.....or make one himself.

Step by step, inch by inch, Jamaa crept along, completely aware of where his paws went, where any loose rocks were, and where he should go. Suddenly something under his paw moved. Jamaa pulled up his paw to see a little black head staring back at him. "Topas!" he growled in a low voice, "What are you doing here!?"

"What? A friend can't visit his friend?" he said rather loudly. This ratel was loud enough to be heard all around, he was giving away Jamaa's position!

Demani didn't seem bored and he wasn't distracted either he never cared about the bugs but he looked a little frustrated when he heard Jamaa suddenly talking to someone who could that be?

Hm no he shouldn't be thinking off what Jamaa's friend could be he should maybe try a sneak attack but from what direction? he use to be smart on these things when he didn't had to think it use to happen natrually for him..

He pressed his green body closer to the ground and then he took some small steps to the side trying to slowley sneaking up either from the side off Jamaa or the back..

Poki's ears twisted and turned in those few minutes when Jamaa had gone silent and ran off with Topas. He was waiting... waiting... Just like he did when he was stalking a bug, he waited for it to make the move before he pounced. It seemed that Jamma was.... using Topas some how..

Topas' sounds carried from one area, Poki's eyes shifted upward but he kept down. Then came the thud. Topas was thrown? By his rantings, it seems so. Where did he come from? Just.. a little that way, yes? Poki decided so.

He came up from his little ditch he had hid in, slowly he moved to his right and forward, to where Topas had been thrown. Jamaa had to be there. If it was not for Jamaa's own rules that he and his brother were after him, Poki would have gone to the little Ratel to eat the bugs off of him.

Jamaa waited, one minute, two minutes, three have gone by. That was about enough time for the pups to head to the ratel and the perfect time for him to get them. They'll have to learn to keep their attention on the prize. The adult rose to his feet and quietly stalked the tall grass until he came upon the black ratel. "Topas?" he whispered. His eyes darted left and right, where were Poki and Demani!?

Jamaa looked around, had he moved too soon? If this was a real hunt, then he would have failed. Quickly he darted around and headed back to the large rock that sheltered him just moments before. If he was able to get there in a good time, he could just hope that the pups still take the bait. If not then he just raised their chances of finding him.

The green colored wild dog was going trough a teenage/adult crise while training that wasn't good at all but that was how he felt all these emotions was bugging his head. But suddently he heard his brother jumping out to get Jamaa and Topas was somewhere else god why was he so unfocused?

No Demani! what did you learn when meeting that stupid hyena trying to eat him hmm when he started to think off what he learned that time his brain started to act in wild reflection off surviving. He sneaked around so quitly as he could he knew he was comming up behind Jamaa now and when he was all busy with Poki and trying to see where his friend Topas was he saw his chance and made a big jump from his hiding position and went for a bite at Jamaa's trought while jumping he almost looked like a adult he definetly matured the last weeks. But would he miss Jamaa? no he couldn't this was bulletproof.
