Blacktail Deer Plateau growing like a weed

Pura suddenly emerged from the cave like an awkward, misshapen, discolored bat... Peregrine began to laugh at his horrible metaphor, watching as the young boy caught up to his sister-cousin. The two took turns tugging on one another's ears before the larger pup, Ty, trundled toward a leaf, picked it up and began shaking it. Maybe, like Osprey Jr., Tytonidae would show a predisposition toward hunting. Or perhaps the Alpha male was reading too much into typical puppy behaviors...

He cocked his head, watching Pura for a reaction to the new plaything. He wondered if they'd fight over it, perhaps even engage in some good ole tug-o'-war. The leaf would shred to bits in seconds. Smiling at the thought, he settled in to watch the action unfold.
