Life style
Sleep cycle/Nocturnal or not – These animals sleep whenever they please and have adequate nocturnal vision. They are most active during the evening and at dawn.
What it eats (herbivore, carnivore, omnivore): Due to this animal’s massive body structure it needs a high protein intake, however bigger game lives in the plains and so this animal must travel up and down the mountain to eat.
