Not the answer I'm after Tok's. :no:

I've had one perfect answer PM'd to me already from a very clever girl. ^Q^ O/\

Do you want any clues here?

The Mopne leaves are not tasty at the end of winter :-( that's why my northern ellies eat other trees in August as well lol

Here is the word perfect reply I recieved from Amoli...

elephant populations from northern KNP eat more grass (~40%) during the dry season than do their southern counterparts (~10%). The wet-season diets of elephants from northern and southern KNP include similar amounts of grass (~50%), because elephants in the south, but not in the north, ate significantly more grass during this time. Although habitat differences in KNP appear to account partially for variations in elephant diets, the specific influence of each habitat type on diet selectivity is not clear

Well done Amoli. ^Q^

Male Lions are generally regarded as being lazy, however, they share something in common with Polar Bears that makes them behave as they do.

Anyone care to guess why this is?

Does it relate to the male lion and polar bears method of hunting called "still-hunting" ? -O-

You are on the right track here ExFmem. \O ^Q^

I'm looking for the reason why they utilise "still-hunting" and it's to do with their physiology.
