Details
Lesser Tarraptors, much like their greater cousins, are pack hunters by nature. Their diminutive size compared to their peers means that the groups they hunt in have been recorded as high as seven. on average, they hunt in groups of four, with three acting to box in their prey, while a fourth acts as a "scout" of sorts. Lesser Tarraptors' vocalizations are oftentimes mistaken for bird or fox calls. Lesser Tarraptors, much like their greater cousins, are pack hunters by nature.
